I loved that Jamaican parody of the VW ad.

Oh, god help me, I've signed up for Linkedin.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think LinkedIn is just one of those things. I am irritated at the people who shotgun out invites to random recipients, but mostly I think enough people have looked me up on there that it's handy keeping my profile current.
My optician said the difference between the reading glasses I paid $45+insurance for and the +2s he said to pick up anywhere is the quality of the frame and the consistent magnification across the whole lens.
If there are no drugstore brands particularly better or worse than any other maybe I'll pick up a couple so I can have a pair at my bedside, etc.
That Jamaica ad makes me very happy--my sister had also sent me an article with people complaining that Americans shouldn't be the ones making funny ads involving our culture--why aren't we doing it ourselves? It was an encouragement to not be ashamed of the things that set us apart, and to work our image.
But this is the biggest PR bump we've had in forever that doesn't involve the 100m.

Jesse, is the J'can VW video appropriate for good stuff?
And Hec, I think that's the same song playing on the real ad--Jimmy Cliff is singing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Sure, why not? I'll throw it up there.
I got bangs! Sort of. I mean, I did, but my hair really only looks marginally different.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Linkedin was pretty helpful tracking down an old reference for a job application. But it's not something I check all the time.
I survived the polar plunge. 20 minutes before jumping, I went to the bar for a shot of Jack Daniels. After I downed it, a teammate said, "That's a good idea!" and went up for one. Then she came back and said, "I just threw up a little. How do you not throw up?"
She is 21 years old. BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Out Drinking a 21 year old is pretty impressive.

Not fucking with Cash.
I think I would be on the ground at your feet within 1 hour.

Nice work, Cash!
So I guess I'm not going to 4:30 yoga, either. Fucking work.
