water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink

[hollybrooke]

Like iamfiction said, it wouldn't quit raining!

And to top it all off....today, everyone just decided to make today their big grocery haul day. When there are flash flood warnings and massive rainstorms going on, you just don't go out in that weather to buy a metric crap ton of groceries. The water will recede in a couple of days; it's not like you're going to be snowed in. Maybe it just makes people feel more secure knowing they have their fridge packed to capacity JUST IN CASE!!! I dunno, I think it's an American feeling of excess.


On a completely unrelated note, here's a old McDonald's commercial from the 70s. What were the creative ad people smoking at the time?!:

Oh, and an old KFC commercial, back when people still called it "Kentucky Fried Chicken":

Ya hungry yet?!

Fortunately, I didn't have to work today. I'm sure the store was packed, though. Any time it rains or snows, people run into the store like crazy. Like that ice storm we had last year...people were still coming! & then they would say things like "man, sure is bad out there."...Then why the hell are you out? The parking lot was literally a sheet of solid ice. I could barely walk out to my car, & when I did get there, it was seriously a block of ice. I had to chisel my way in. Who goes out in that shit if they don't have to?

True story: When I was little, Ronald McDonald used to scare the shit outta me.

I remember when we got those bad snow/ice storms 2 or 3 years ago and I was working at Blockbuster. People were losing power in those storms, and we were STILL getting customers braving the roads just to rent movies! WTF were they gonna watch them on if they're losing power?
