Pox on you! Pox on you for making me try to fit that into my head!

The only way that could have been worse is if Joementum himself sang that song.

But then, the sight of him in that outfit might have made it worth it…

ACK! See what you’ve done to my brain?!? Gah… I need tequila now.

“Vote for Hootie” you could at least try and pass off as an ironic “Vote for Pedro”-type comment. I don’t think you could do that with the Lieberman shirt.

Nice commercial. Now my pants are chafing me.

My brain just slipped it’s timing chain. There’s no way I can make that call.

Gah! I mean, Lieberman is a turd, but it’s HOOTIE!

It could be Huey Lewis, or Eddie Money, or even the guy from Men Without Hats, but Hootie….

fzzzt! snap! pssssht! is all I get from my circuits.

Second the Tequila. 100% agave. and keep it coming.

I think it is un-American not to fully support Hootie in a Time of War.

Well…it was a nice caboose..

and look at the hair of those two with the buckets..

Hootie is far more interesting, I’ll leave the evaluation of other possible virtues to others.

I’d turn the ‘H’ into a ‘B’.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you your next Senator from the great state of Connecticut…The Honorable Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch.

Guys, this is AMERICA! [1] They can both be the most embarassing to wear.

[1] Actually, this is Holland

That Lieberman shirt would go well with a pair of adult diapers.

Well, lets compare the two further…

Hootie- Sabotaging popular music in the ’90s
Leebie- Sabotaging Dems in the ’90s, ’00s
Advantage- Lieberman

Hootie- Puts a nail in the coffin of his career with terrible BK commercials
Leebie- Puts a nail in the coffin of his career with naked Bush worship, kiss.
Advantage- Lieberman

Y’know, I saw that commercial a hundred times and had NO idea it was Darius. I found it strangely, er, stimulating nonetheless. The odd thing is while the clip was playing (alright, I admit it, I did click on this one – but usually with you guys? No Chance!) my intertubes radio station was playing “Spoon Man”. Really worked well together…

C1.002K We made it. Is everyone OK?

I heard hootie brought down the house at Camp X-Ray. And by ‘house’ I mean extra-legal prison camp built under a hurry-up no-bid contract by a corrupt war profiteers.

Oh come on, now. You’re all seriously telling me Darius didn’t have you tapping your feet with that dulcet little ditty?

I’ve always said commercials are right up there with jazz as a truly American art form.

Was that Daryn Kagan on the swing at the end of the Hootie BK blue grass festival?

Hmmm, I would take the Hootie shirt over the Lieberman one.

That bacon will haunt my dreams.

[I deny any knowledge of the fabled ‘long thread.’]

Ha! It says “Vida” on that chick’s bootay. Um, eat enough of those and you’ll not be doing a lot of that anymore.

I’m going out for a burger now. Anyone want anything?

The Jeffrey Dahmer Case

Ever since Burger King made the decision to exploit creeping us out as a means of increasing sales, it has thrown society for a loop. I don’t know anyone who pretends to appreciate this campaign.

However, the first time I saw that ad I had the msifortune of being half asleep, and maybe a little buzzed. I thought it was in fact my own dream. Not that I have had depression era fantasy themed dreams involving hollywood western sets mixed with surreal fast food images But I suppose I could. Darius couldn’t. A surreal fantasy burger fantasy based on the song “Rock Candy Mountain” from the guy who’s greatest acheivment is “Only Wanna Be With You” Not possible.

Have you got a clip of Hootie on stage singing with his biggest fan, John Daly? That would be all Darius, both deminsions of him, baby!

On the other hand he’s not whatever it is that Lieberman has let himself become, so I don’t think it’s a close call on the t-shirt thing

I can’t believe there are people who think this is a close call. Hootie/Darius Rucker at least gives me the impression that he understands how lame everything about he and his band’s success was. Unfortunately for us, there is no analog of that self-knowledge for Lieberman.

I heard hootie brought down the house at Camp X-Ray. And by ‘house’ I mean extra-legal prison camp built under a hurry-up no-bid contract by a corrupt war profiteers.

You mean Hootie is imprisoned at Guantanamo?

I may have to start supporting permanentizing the concentration camp there. At least the ‘hootie’ related portion of it.

Hootie wasn’t exactly imprisoned at Gitmo–they flew him in to sing that song to the detainees over and over again.

You mean that cowboy dork in the BK commercial is Hootie, from Hootie and the Blowfish? I never knew that. Wow, how the mighty have fallen.

If I had to choose a shirt, I’d pick the Lieberman one, but I’d cross out “Lieber” and write “Butt.” Buttman 2006!

On another note, I don’t think there’s a better symbol for America today than two ugly chicks in cowgirl costumes dancing around with buckets of ranch dressing. Pretty much sums up everything that’s wrong with this country.

Could not the argument be made that Hootie was once at least thought of as cool? Lieberman on the otherhand…

Whether this makes it worse for Hootie or worse for Lieberman, I can’t really say.

I love how people respond when this is pointed out to them, or they figure it out. Priceless.

Maybe by this time next year, we’ll have Lieberman doing Head-On commercials.

No kiddin’. I guess selling 13 million records ain’t quite the accomplishment it used to be. Full disclosure: I own that album. My girlfriend at the time bought it for me. One of the many reasons she didn’t hang around long.

Maybe by this time next year, we’ll have Lieberman doing Head-On commercials.

“Buy the homeopathic remedy that works as well as I do! Wait…”

“…two ugly chicks in cowgirl costumes dancing around with buckets of ranch dressing”

ugly? not sure about that. I just thought about the possibilitites.

oh, and, uh…bring that bucket of ranch dressing.

A look ahead to August 2007…

Not only did I not know that was hootie from hootie and the blowfish, but I thought that the whole commercial was some kind of SNL-style parody of a burger commercial. I mean, “chicken bacon cheddar ranch”? Who in god’s name would make a product like that?

I guess selling 13 million records ain’t quite the accomplishment it used to be.

Shit, Guns n’ Roses sold a lot more than that, and look at what Axl Rose has been up to these days: looking like a gangsta banana, getting into slap-fights with Tommy Hilfiger, and chowing down on a security guard’s leg.

Watch this before answering. I still think Joe is worse.

For the word “still” to make sense here, the BK commmercial would have to be worse than Darius Rucker’s previous work. But it’s not, of course. So: huh?

Kids run for the tub!

No, it’s not ‘Hootie’ from Hootie & the Blowfish. It’s Darius Rucker from the band Hootie & the Blowfish. “Hootie” isn’t his stage name.
(Sign. I’m such a geek for knowing this. And posting this.)

I just thought about the possibilitites.

Me too. You could roll around in greasy cheeseburger meat and have bacon slap-fights. And by the end of the whole thing everybody smells like old ham and and wet garbage… rancid ranch dressing drying all over the ceiling… bloated bodies plastered with fixin’s… like some kind of wonderful Jonah Goldberg fairy tale.

Hmm, maybe I’ll hold off on dinner until later this week. Ack.

“Hootie� isn’t his stage name.

It matters not. Darius Rucker will always be Hootie.

(we can hope, can’t we?)

I would never wear a Joe Lieberman t-shirt. That’s because I was born in CT, and lived most of my life in CT, and my whole family and most of my friends still live in CT. And we all know he’s a Rethuglican-enabling a$$hole.

I don’t know Darius, so I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt. Even though that ad totally creeped me out even before I read sohei’s 22:44 comment. He’s still better than Lieberman.

So, I’m with Hootie.

I’d wear HoJo’s shirt… ironically. Then I’d sneer at the people who didn’t get it.

I knew that both Hootie and “Friends” had jumped the shark during the episode when The Friends went to a Hootie and the Blowfish concert — and appeared to enjoy the experience.

I never watched the show again. Did it get better?

Kathleen, dammit, did you just out me?

If that’s Brooke Burke on the swing, I’ll wear her shirt. But she has to be wearing it at the same time.

She didn’t post your home address. Yet.

Apparently Kathleen is simply rattling your cage.

(Silent Bwa ha ha)

“Well, it was just out there on the internet.”

Gah, I need to stop being so careless with my personal information. It’s all my fault for leaving my digital wallet on the counter like that. What can I say? I was drunk. Consider my “cage” “rattled.”

Man that commercial still creeps me out. Even more than the one where the guy wakes up and that giant headed king hands him a sandwich. Ech.

Hootie, Hootie, Hootie. Pleas go watch some tapes of Ray Charles or Charley Pride singing CW and then think about the giant leap backward you took by “performing” in that commercial.

I forgot what the original topic was after watching that.

Not only has the fabulous Long Threadâ„¢ blasted past its 1000th comment (C1K… get it?), but is is today 1 Year Old (August 5th)!!1! Woooooooo, Long Threadâ„¢!!1!!7!!

Am I really the only one who thought the commercial was fun?

yes, Jim, you are ther only one.
