...W B. Not the network (at least not since the demise of Felicity and Dawson's Creek), but the office supplies catalog warehouse. Have you seen this commercial? I have, about a hundred million times. I can't get the jingle out of my head. I'm thinking, why is this commercial getting so much more airtime than any other? How much money does WB Mason have in its advertising budget anyway??? It's only office supplies! Then I realize, I really only watch a few TV stations and they are normally sports stations like CSN, ESPN, etc. Then I start to think, what demographic are they trying to reach? Clearly they want to catch the eye of office managers....does this mean that some market research shows that the majority of sports fans out there are office managers? And come to think of it, I have seen huge WB Mason signs hanging up in major league ballparks - I want to say they're represented in both Yankee Stadium and Fenway. That's some major bucks right there...perhaps we should invest in their stock!
I want to write about my half-marathon and Eagles home opener experience..but i'm not in a very positive frame of mind right now and don't want to come across so cranky. I will post an update within the next few days.

dude. so one day a few months ago i go to put more paper in the printer and i see this crazy, mustached, 19th century weight lifter guy on the package, pratically screaming out to me - W.B. MASON!!!
and i thougth it was the funniest thing i had ever seen. i was like, "guys, have this crazy paper we're getting now?" and everyone was like, "yeah, that's WB Mason, that's the big deal?" i swear,i had never heard of that company before. then, starting like the very next day, i start seeing the damn WBMason guy everywhere. just yesterday i can remember the 18-wheeler driving me on market street. it's a damn plague.
