Hold My Ham

[eggwards]

You have to wonder how good life is when you had one of the best selling records of the last decade, and now you're singing about chicken sandwiches in a purple cowboy getup that Porter Waggoner would have serious reservations about...



Apparently it's more than just the streets that are paved with cheese near Burger King...

In somewhat related news, Burger King also asks you to PIMP MY BURGER with this German website. Apparently this will be a real TV show, too.

I saw that too...

Who really read the script and thought "That'll further my career!"?

I think I would have walked when they would have said, "and there's great big galloping slices of bacon!"

He looks a bit like Cowboy Curtis from Pee Wee's Playhouse.

Now, the difference is that Larry is thinking, if I could just get a role that has a less queer getup.

Darius is probably thing, well, it's Vegas, then Branson, isn't it?

I applaud your restraint :-)

I'm not all about the "King" series they're trying. That last breakfast one was odd enough!

As long as they don't bring back the other loser characters from Burger King's evil mirror-universe version of McDonaldland...I think we'll be OK.

If you don't know what I'm talking about (it was 20+ years ago) here's a site: http://home.att.net/~planetgarp/burgerking.html

These folks always freaked me right the fuck out. Sir Shakes-a-Lot looks like a Wheelie from Return to Oz with a milkshake on his head. Jesus Christ.

Wow, I was asking somebody this tonight at dinner. I just caught a few seconds of it. Did it have a retro version of the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders?

[eggwards.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I so don't get the connection...I guess the Cowboys Cheerleaders will pimp out for anything since the team isn't winning right now.

oh, Darius, when will you learn that 1994 is over?

[eggwards.livejournal.com]

Darius tried his own solo R&B album a couple of years ago, and I think he truly mimicked Don "No-Soul" Simmons from the movie Amazon Women on the Moon.

When John Mayer has more sould than you do...that's just sad.

You know, I actually convinced myself that it couldn't possibly be Darius in that commercial.. that it must be some unknown guy that looked (a lot) like him... *sigh*

It looks like they took the worst of Porter Waggoner and Dale Evans costumes and tweaked them until the Fashion Police cried aloud.

you can't get much lower than Burger King.....well, there's always Pizza Butt Hut

we debated about whether that was darius and decided no way it couldn't be.

and now I find it is?

[polomex.livejournal.com]

Um... I have no idea who that is.

*looks around nervously*

I guess I'm the only person who LOVES that commercial? It's just so... funny. I love the "ranch dressing" girls... just swaying back and forth, dropping the creamy white stuff all over. *giggle*

Uhm. Okay.
