It's Wednesday November 4…which means it's time for #carchat!
Tonight's Twitter #carchat: the marathon day of Chrysler announcements, re-imagining the new Chrysler logo, SEMA, how custom cars might no longer be cool, and that the Dodge Viper logo looks like Daffy Duck.
Check out the preview at vLane.com, and be sure to search for the tag "#carchat", starting at 8PM tonight, Wed. October 21. Questions? michael [at] banovsky [dot] com or at my Twitter page.
I'm not sure how funny FakeRayWert is, but if he or she can keep up the frequent fervent postings for at least a year, FakeRay will be 100% awesome to me. That way I'll know that FakeRay is truly consumed by a hatred of Real Ray, and is dedicated to airing that hatred in one of the most pointless ways possible. That gets respect in my book. #twitter
Ironically this is actually one of the better uses of twitter; I find it much more important to know where I can get the cheapest price on certain commodities than what my friends are having for lunch.
I almost had to stop the car the first time I saw a Loaf 'n Jug...was somewhere near Amarillo, and after several hours of the US287 drone, it inexplicably cracked me up.
@Shamoononon: I read a few just now, and I'd be willing to bet at least a reasonably small sum of money that it's real. The dad could just be some 73-year-old wiseass. This one seems to be such a typically dad-like thing to say: "Don't touch the bacon, it's not done yet. You let me handle the bacon, and I'll let you handle... what ever it is you do. I guess nothing."
According to his info in the upper right, the guy's 28 and still lives at home - OF COURSE his dad would say something like that!
(Oh, and the Mrs. Dash one was great, too).
But, then, maybe I'm just being Gulliver - errr... GULLIBLE! Or at least willing to suspend my disbelief for some good entertainment.

I knew this Twitter thing was out of hand when my favorite websites began peppering their page with invitations to follow their columnists on Twitter. Isn't that why I'm on the website in the first place?
@Alfisted: I knew it was out of hand when the web hosting company I work for posted outage news on twitter instead of our perfectly customer portal.
not our finest example of cotomer sevis. those of us who work there but are not in marketing wondered just exactly wtf was going on, and why are we paying a guy to play with twitter all day.
@Tomsk welcomes the Jezebanned home: It's only one jug. This place must be an adult entertainment establishment for lazy guys that has female employees that have suffered a horrible industrial accident. Doesn't sound much fun.
@vwminispeedster, pronounded Si-trow-in: So I took a photo in Keene, NH several years ago... the Walgreens there had a fairly attractive sale on. "MILK 1 GAL $2.79", the sign read. I thought that if she had a reasonably firm rack, the price was right.
