My Favourite Commercial: The Ginsu Knife

In this week’s edition of the always interesting ‘Top 5 Saturday’ over on my buddy Phil’s blog he counts down the 5 most notorious, famous, and infamous inventions of the infomercial era.

The infomercial era on television dates back about 30 years. If you’re old enough then you may remember those classic 90-second commercials from way back then for the Ginsu knife. Those long-form commercials are widely credited to be the inspiration behind the even longer-form infomercials (of 30 minutes in length) that took off late at night on the tube during the 1980s.

Let’s take a look back at this Ginsu knife commercial from 30 years ago in 1978:

Friday Night Blogroll Review

These are my favourite blog entries of this past week from my favourite bloggers in the blogosphere:

Travis has the keys to our fresh new Life Pointe Church offices, and he wants the knuckleheads of LPC to come out for some painting shenanigans.

I’m not the only one that blogs what’s goin’ on at Life Pointe Church on any given Sunday morning. P.J. does it too.

Jesse wants your opinion as to what he should do with his mop-top.

Diego recently celebrated his first birthday with a bunch of cowboys and indians, and Kelly has the exclusive pictures up on her photogenic blog.

See Travis, Kelly, and Blake chillin’ at Luci’s and James’ house. 

Nathan reports on the continuing progression of InDependence Church in Weston Florida. I hope to spend another Sunday morning at InDependence sometime soon.

Nathan & Harmony’s Owen loves to talk to strangers, and sometimes the strangers talk back !  (It’s not always pretty.)

Bedtime Stories

Greetings Friends & Bloggers. This is the Thursday night edition of ‘Bedtime Stories’.

I’ve just spent the past hour watching “Are You Smarter Than A 5TH Grader ?” on FOX-TV. Up next is another Prime Time favourite of mine – “Don’t Forget The Lyrics“. Tonight on ‘Lyrics’ it’s a special celebrity edition with Bret Michaels of Poison – one of the greatest hard rock and roll bands of my entire life. “Unskinny Bop” may just be the greatest song that was ever made. Don’t hate me.  

I’ve also spent the past hour browsing away on iTunes. I picked out 7 current hit songs that I’ll be purchasing. The’re in my Shopping Cart right now. It’s great Christian Rock music from (in alphabetical order) – Demon Hunter, Emery, Manic Drive, P.O.D., Project 86, Seventh Day Slumber, and Wavorly.

And so that’s what I’m watching on TV and listening to on the radio and on my iPod Shuffle. And you also found out that I was once (in my previous life) a Poison groupie (circa the Summer Of 1990). You just never know what you could possibly find out about me here on this blog.

That’s my ‘Bedtime Stories’ for tonight. Don’t forget that the ‘Friday Night Blogroll Review’ will be in full effect tomorrow afternoon. Look for it sometime after 5 PM.

Good Night Everyone !  Good Night Christye !

Bedtime Stories

Greetings Friends & Bloggers. It’s time for the Wednesday night edition of ‘Bedtime Stories’.

This is the final blog entry for tonight – and for this month of April 2008. This was the biggest month in our history as far as unique views were concerned. In fact we totally shattered the previous record for the biggest month – March 2008 – by more than 20% !  That’s EXPLOSIVE growth month-to-month for this blog, and it’s all because of you – the loyal and faithful viewer that checks out what’s going on here every day and comments when appropriate. Thank you all for your support !

Besides tomorrow being the first day of May (‘May Day’) it’s also a Thursday, so it’s time for another eye-popping edition of the fastest-growing weekly series here on this blog – the ‘Thursday Night Internet Hoax Hall-Of-Shame’. I’ll be posting a couple of SHOCKING pictures that you’re just not going to believe. But millions of people all around the world did believe. Is it deja vu ?  Have you seen these pictures before ?  I’m pretty sure that some of you have, but it’s where you’ve seen them before that will leave you totally stunned. Be sure to catch it tomorrow afternoon shortly after 4 PM.

May you have a safe, peaceful, and blessed Wednesday night with your loved ones – even if your all alone, and your loved one is God. You may be alone, but with Him in your Life you are never ever lonely. He is everywhere that you need Him to be. Love Him and Worship Him above everyone and everything else.

Until we hang out again here on the blog remember this:
