i don't get the olive garden comercials. who is their marketing guru? i can only imagine the auditions for the said commercials:WANTED: a cheesy, middle-class couple, slightly on the dorky side, hair combed with no flaws. button - down cardigan preferred. no acting experience neccesary.
have you seen these? my personal fav:
"we are here to celebrate" - nerdy couple
"we are here to celebrate" - nerdy couple
"birthday? anniversary?" - overly enthused waitress
"no! just monday! hehehehe" - nerdy couple
pa-lease. have you been to OG? first off, no one looks like that and/or are that happy about mondays and secondly, the waiters are far from chatty/giggly.
i am not even that much a fan of the food. i ususally don't even order - just eat my weight in the salad. however, and i am by no means downgrading the italian margarita they offer. they are just delish.
on a slightly different note, but possibly an effect of the mentioned commercial, i live in the fattest state. i love mississippi. love it. have no real desire to live elsewhere. but we are getting a bad rap, people. according to my cousin, oprah is visiting meridian in hopes of spreading the word to the world about our slight chunky problem. fattest state in the fattest country. does not make my heart happy. there is hope. i have faith. not only is oprah behind our rather large behinds, but people magazine has also featured our deep south state for trying to lose the weight. i believe in our wonderful state. empowerment people. that is what we need. empowerment and a gallon of sweet tea.

I can remember being a kid and gettign to go to Olive Garden was a HUGE deal. We went every time we went to Birmingham and spent the night at the Wynfrey Hotel.
I love how Oprah will acknowledge MS when it gets her on camera.
Empowerment, a gallon of sweet tea, and a whole lot of fried catfish!!!
I'll be heading to the fattest state tonight!!!!
Hilarious post! Very funny writing. Thanks for making me laugh at work today :) ejw
I just got finished reading about MS in People mag! Where do they find these people!??!
I used to love OG! When I was in college and POOR my roomie and I would go there and get a glass of water, a bowl of lemons and make our own lemonade and then eat breadsticks and salad. It was a cheap meal and well kinda healthy if you don't count the gallon of salad dressin, the 5 lbs of croutons and the 3 baskets of bread sticks that we ate. Ok, wow, not healthy at all! :) Oh well it was CHEAP!
