"Random stuff still in my phone III"

15 Sep

We’ve all heard the term “coming of age”.  It’s most commonly used when people are referring to coming of age movies.  This got me thinking.  What’s the oldest possible coming of age, age in real life?

You know this phrase –  “I’ve got a monkey on my back”.  Well ya know what, nobody wants that burden.  I say the monkeys on our backs should be used for research by scientists.

It’s actually impossible for anybody to ever claim to be the most modest.

5/1 – "M&M's, Nickelodeon, and a sign I'm coming of age"

1 May

Yesterday in conversation I used the phrase “…melts in your mouth, not in your hands.”  I started to wonder, is this still M&M’s slogan?  I feel like I haven’t seen an M&M commercial on TV in such a long time.

I don’t watch all that much TV, and definitely nothing on Nickelodeon, who’s watchers I imagine might be a target market for M&M’s.  I guess that’s the sign that I’m finally an adult.  I don’t think I can name a single show on the network.

Whatever.  Fuck M&M’s anyway.  That slogan is a complete lie anyway.  Those candies always melt in your hands, especially regular M&M’s, as opposed to ones with peanuts.
