Kids might be able to appreciate certain commercial characters without context:
They're grrrrr-eat!
Silly rabbit, Trix are for kids.
They're always after me Lucky Charms.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

I just remembered! Not a famous commercial, but the character and the tune are.
Pink Panther Flakes...are pink

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Sigh...Mr. S didn't fall asleep until almost 10, and has been acting up all day.
I feel his/your pain. I read until around 1AM, was exhausted, and then was completely unable to fall asleep when I tried. Rinse and repeat. My body was like, oh, you think you're going to sleep now? Good luck with that when every single position you lie in somehow manages to cut off blood flow to your arm.

For those who anticipate this time of year, the Pumpkin Spice must flow.

Cat Herding was for EDS, which seems not to have survived, even if they had a great commercial.
It has its own Wikipedia entry.

Oh, and a detail from the entry:
Trainers taught the cats to swim by starting them out in one-quarter inch of water, then gradually building the pool to swimming depth. . . . Since we were shooting in nippy weather, our 'river' was actually a small pool warmed by a portable heater, like a little cat Jacuzzi.[2]

It will be up to a week and a half to hear back from UPS as they do a background check and the job would be part time, 15-25 hours a week Sun-Thurs 10am - 5:30pm shifts where you may not always work the full shift, but would work at least 3 hours. He'll need a car quickly as that will be hard to manage pick up and drop off while I am working at it is located 30 min away.
