I've heard of sleepwalking but sleepdriving?

So I'm channel-surfing last night and rooting for my favorite Idol star to triumph,

David

I always thought David was by far and away the best, Dave sure can sing, what a voice that David has

so anyway in between I caught some "Frontline" about depression, some guy with it was showing all the pills he took to battle it, 5 or 6 of 'em, some to combat the side effects of the others like weight gain, real trial and error stuff and I'm like dude, just deal with it. Anyway on another station on comes this ad for the sleepaid Ambien CR, not just one layer like other sleepaids to help you fall asleep but a second layer to help you stay asleep, one possible side effect being driving while not fully awake.

Police Sergeant: "Do you know we clocked you doing 65 mph going down the wrong lane on the freeway? You coulda killed someone!!!"

Ambien Patient: "Yeah but I sure did get a good night's rest though and that's the important thing."

  1. We'll need to debunk these drugs in our seminar!!!

    I am very happy because my favorite David won. Did you see the commercials for Guitar Hero with each of them doing Tom Cruise in Risky Business? Oh my gosh, that was the highlight of the night (Cook's version, Archie looked just silly).

  2. Archie's too cute,

    "oh, my little pinkworm!"

    and somebody said he looks strictly Mickey Mouse Club stuff. Cook has that existential grunge look going for him, he could do an angst-riddled ballad that life sucks and really make it rock.

  3. Maybe we can have a new legal term, DWAI or driving while Ambien impaired, it'll be the new thing picked up by all the teens and tweens. Now about that 4 hour problem that may arise from Cialis or Viagra, like what's a doctor supposed to do for you, break it?

  4. Oh my, did you use the word "arise" on purpose??

    I don't even want to think about the younger generation (what are they, Generation Y?) driving DWAI and text messaging. Certain disaster there.

    A new acronym for you I read today: DIRC, for John McCain, Democrat in Republican Clothes. Do you like it better than RINO?

  5. Dunno, "John McCain is a DIRC", might have trouble tripping that one off your tongue like say "shine my city shoes" 20X real fast.

  6. Never was good at tongue twisters.

    DIRC I assume rhymes with jerk, so...

  7. Forgot to say that I purposely didn't watch Hell's Kitchen this week from seeing the previews, yuck! Do you think it was for real, or a stunt for ratings?
