Personally, I don’t think anybody calls him a space cowboy.

Do you think at the first Thanksgiving they had paper napkins with turkeys on them?

I’m thinking, yes.

Thanksgiving is only a few days away, so what better time for some good old pilgrim history? No better time, that’s when.

You all basically know the story – Pilgrims (i.e. people with silly clothes) didn’t like what was going on in England re: religion so they hopped on a big boat, sailed to “India,” met up with the “Indians,” shared some “Indian” cuisine, settled in for the long haul, invited some friends over, killed the “Indians” with disease and gunpowder, and decided to make it a tradition to eat lots of food every November.

But what you didn’t know was that the pilgrims (i.e. people with silly clothes) originally came from a town in England called Scrooby. Like Scrooby Doo. No wonder they liked turkey sandwiches so much.

It’s the week before Thanksgiving. You know what that means?

Game Time!

Last Week’s Winner

Last week, after Johnny talked about cereal icons, we decided to have a PSB Original Game Mashup: Bests and Worsts meets Ad Geniuses.

Here were Some of the Answers for the Worst Cereal and Ad Campaign. If you noticed, we just capitalize Random words Around Here.

Tony and Luca started us off with some ‘our cereal is too sweet and unhealthy’ ads. Tony went with “Sweet Fleet” a cereal marketed by Captain Cavity, while Luca came up with “Better Letters” whose spokesmen were the letters O, B, C, and D. Get it? OBCD, obesity, ABCD, alphabet?

Anyway, while both good answers, they have to lose because Captain Cavity would get in a fight with Cap’n Crunch, and the obese letters would not get along with the Alpha-bits, and basically all hell would break loose. And broken-loose hell is not a part of your complete balanced breakfast.

DJ and Joey Bag of Donuts came up with some cereal ideas for a more mature crowd with “Chocoholic” and “Jumpin Jesus Flakes“. With taglines like “Chocolate is my favorite addiction!” and “when the son of God eats his cereal, he changes the milk into wine!”, how can your cereal not be a hit? If not a hit, at least a slap. In the face of Christians and alcoholics everywhere.

And that leaves Sam as the winner this week with his cereal “Crunchy Critters” Nothing sells cereal like a constantly foiled cartoon character with a cute catchphrase.

“Everything is better when it crunches!”

This Week’s Game

The other day…let’s see…why it was Wednesday…Mike mentioned going to a gym owned by a couple guys named Jim, aka the Jims’ Gym. That gave us an idea.

It’s time for another round of the PSB Original Game Bests and Worsts. All you got to do is come up with an answer for this:

Best name that matches your occupation.

Here’s our answer: Dan Sinmasheen. He’s a professional dancer.

Whatchoo got?

You know how people say, “You snooze, you lose”? Well, I have an addendum to add at the end… um.

You snooze, you lose. I snooze, I win.

You can’t beat 9 extra minutes of sleep.

I think everyone who works at a gym should be named Jim. That way you can say “I’m going to the gym” or “I’m going to the Jims” and still be right.

In fact, all occupations should only be allowed to hire workers with the same name. But, I guess that would make me a microphone. Never mind.

I got a great idea. I’m gonna make sandwich rolls made with cucumbers.

I’ll call them Cucumber-Buns, and that way when people are looking to buy accessories for their tuxedos, they’ll think I’m selling cummerbunds, but it’ll really be a bread product.

Then they’ll find them delicious and encourage all of their friends to go and buy some to go with their cucumber sandwiches that they’re going to eat with afternoon tea. At that point, I’ll switch it up, and start selling cummerbunds instead, but keeping the name the same. Then those friends will want cucumber rolls, but they’ll get those silly belt type things and they’ll be completely confused and disappointed.

Yes folks, I always think it’s good business to confuse and disappoint your clientele.
