and neither did anybody comment on my cool Police lyrics at the Brammo facebook post...sigh, my humor is lost on this crowd :)

I just love the phrase No Me Gusta ever since that Team America scene when the Panama Canal is blown up and the guy is holding onto his open truck door as the flood sweeps him away and he is yelling out, "No Me Gusta!"

I hope that if ever a flood is sweeping me away I have the presence of mind to yell out, "I Don't Like!!"


Gavin


OMG, the randomness of Gavin's humor... LOL... just lol... I needed that today.  :D

I guess I didn't get the Robert Smith joke.

I appreciate and sometimes respect you, Gavin.  And "no me gusta" is awesome. ;)

On a slightly more serious note:

I really like what has happened here in the last few days.

Team Brammoevangelista is actually a bit of a surprise.

Often, probably almost always, a contest or competition is announce like Brammo did and everybody goes off and works alone, in secret or actually works to undermined the competition...

Here we come together and help each other and root for each other (and try to get us all prizes :) )

BFan gives us some kind and helpful suggestions---get off your lazy butts was mostly what I heard, but also a few other nicer things :) ---EB and myself highlight what we think we do well already, but we also listen to BFan. EB posts a blog, I like it online and comment. EB makes a twitter, I retweet it. I make a few comments on Facebook and EB likes them. BFan got me going back to twitter** and making some posts, and his rant did get me working on a blog post for release at the end of this weekend (plus the Enertia will be featured prominently at our Sunday Adult Kickball league games...and Tuesday night Adult Soccer league games)...


So it is true that we are stronger as a group, a team...sadly it doesn't happen like that often...happily it does seem to work that way here.

Which is kinda cool.

Gavin


heck, I even posted a non Brammo tweet...and got a response.... some background...1) my wife watches a lot of How I Met Your Mother...2) Creamland is a local Dairy company...3) for some reason I woke up in the morning with this thought...4) Neil Patrick Harris is from Albuquerque--I met him twice, but that is a story for another day 5) while trying to tweet the thought to Creamland I found out that the local company was owned by a bigger company called DeanFoods...and that Creamland didn't have a twitter account, but DeanFoods did...enough background.

@deanfoods Creamland should hire Neil Patrick Harris 4 an ad--tv,radio,print, T-shirt,milk carton Creamland, it's Legend-wait for it-Dairy.


reply:

@gavinmcc Fun idea! We think Creamland is legenDAIRY too! MT Hire Neil Patrick Harris 4 an ad "Creamland, it's Legend-wait for it-Dairy."



so now I am doing pro bono marketing for Brammo and DeanFoods it seems :)

Ah. Reminds me a bit of the game my wife and I play: "Celebrity"  We'll be in a public place and one of us will see someone who reminds us a celebrity.  "I see ... Neil Patrick Harris."  Then, the hunt begins.  Variations: someone that looks like the lovechild of two celebrities, or a young celebrity as he/she will look in their 80s, etc.

Anyway - back to BrammoEvangelista - is that plural? I never took Spanish.  :-[

well, actually, Brammo did like my lyrics...but it took a while...insert unjustified angry face smiley...do they make that smiley yet??

It was for when Brammo mentioned they were watching and reading and looking for the next Evangelist.

Quote
Every breath (of clean air) you take, Every (gasless) move you make, Every bond (to OPEC) you break, Every step (into the future) you take, I'll be watching you....


as for the Spanish...sadly, and a bit ironically, i'm pretty sure I just turned the team into the female version... oops...

ok, looked up Evangelista translate to Evangelist...so not plural...and maybe not feminine either??

I'll ask my bro later...or my daughter (she minored in spanish)

You know whats going to be funny is if they announce the next evangelist is some fella in some obscure 3rd world country where, unbeknownst to us, Brammo has become hugely popular and Craig Bramscher is worshiped as a god... or something.

4) Neil Patrick Harris is from Albuquerque--I met him twice, but that is a story for another day
Funny. Felicia Day grew up in Huntsville. She starred alongside NPH in Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-long Blog.


It's been a loong time since I studied spanish, but nouns are either masculine or feminine. -a is usually/always female.
