<p>One day you're out in the country, hanging out at a junk yard, watching cars get crushed while eating lunch next to a man with no arms, and then the next day you're in Hollywood, on the set of a national television show, drinking "Sex on The Beach", and talking to TV celebs about the planet Mars.</p>

<p>What the hell is going on here?</p>

<p>If you were to put my life down on paper,<br />
it would look like one giant<br />
scribble.</p>

<p>It makes about that much sense.<br />

the potting soil.<br />
I ran inside seeking shelter,<br />
and noticed the camera was still mounted on<br />
the tripod from a previous shoot.</p>

<p>So, I snapped a couple shots by the front door<br />
in that nice, stormy twilight.</p>

<p>I look like a coal miner.</p>

a massive change occurred within the laundry industry.<br />

<strong><span class="caps">MASSIVE.</span></strong><br />
<u><span class="caps">SOOOOOOOO</span></u> <span class="sizeLess20">massive</span>.<br />
Im surprised it's not all over the news right now,<br />
smashed right there between the murders, the rape victims,<br />
and the tiny local girl<br />
who won the big horse jumping contest.</p>

<p>Big news indeed, people.<br />
So <span class="sizeLess20">big</span>.</p>

<p>Like an easter egg full<br />
of gun powder<br />
sitting under a magnifying glass<br />
on the roof of a double decker bus.</p>

<p>(not sure where that came from... it just popped in there)</p>

<p>Yes sir... laundry will never be the same.</p>

<p>All of a sudden,<br />
you can buy a detergent bottle<br />
(any brand, mind you)<br />
with<br />
a<br />
<span class="caps">TAP.</span></p>

<p>Yes.  A tap!  Now you don't have to lift the bottle anymore.<br />
And you can keep your Franzia next to the Gain and<br />
everything will look<br />
<span class="caps">FINE.</span></p>

<p>Big news people.<br />
So, so, so, so <span class="sizeLess20">big</span>.</p>
