Woo hoo! I love that commercial! So, how’s your week going?
After the very wet weekend, nature has provided Cincinnati with several wonderful fall days. Because many of you commented about my cold, I’m battling the sniffles but my throat feels fine. Thanks for asking!
As the government shutdown and subsequent debate continues to wear on we Americans, I’m sure the rest of the world is tired hearing about it. Therefore, all of us need a good boost of mid-week satire.
Don’t forget about the extra challenge of creating your own combo from the info in The Onion headlines. Mine is at the end. Have a good rest of the week.

Some commercials, like YouTube videos, just seem to go viral. I saw hump-boy’s brother, just an hour ago, while watching Big Bang Theory, which validates the chess-playing, getting-laid headline.
As usual, no synthesis, just a couple of questions. Kitchener’s Oktoberfest is soon to start, and is second in size, only to the original in Munich. Research has shown me, though, that Cincinnati is close behind. Do you go out/have you, in the past? Do you have a post(s) about it. A site/or sites you’d recommend. Tell all, about your local drunken revelry. 😉

The chess player is the unquestionable favorite today!
Cincinnati has a large Oktoberfest. As yours, many claim it is second to Munich. One neutral site claims that Cincinnati is the undisputed king in the US. However, another claims the one in Columbus is a better time. Here’s a site that claim yours and mine #3 and #4 in the world. http://www.skyscanner.net/news/top-10-oktoberfest-s-around-world

I read a story a few days ago, some school is banning the phrase – not so much because of the phrase itself, but because the kids are mimicking the camel’s voice, and saying it all the time. The REAL reason? Spoiler alert: the teachers are getting annoyed by the constant repetition. 😀
