rafael palmeiro takes viagra every night.

or so the legend goes. can you tell there was a ranger game on here last night? i found it funny when i first heard that viagra had signed up rafael palmeiro to be their pitchman. i mean the tell-tale mark of a product's cultural significance is when it can find a marquee athlete to shill for it. viagra seeking out a current athlete for an endorsment, i thought, was curious. even the oldest active professional athletes aren't usually much older than 40 (39 in raffy's case), and viagra's target demo seems to be significantly older than that, their other most recognizable endorser is bob dole, and he's gotta be pushing four hundred, so it wouldn't seem as though an athlete would be an ideal face for an erection pill.

new links today, two of them. one is sam's livejournal. i'm not sure if she wrote about falling down the stairs at school on the first day a couple weeks ago but i'm sure if you ask her nicely she'll tell the story. she's a neat kid, one of the neatest i've met since i moved out here. the other is to [cynically] smiling, a blog written by kendall, who i have to confess to not really knowing. i've been blogging since the end of july, and started reading other blogs at about the same time. most of the random ones that i've read once, i've not read twice. kendall's was different, she writes well, and on top of that, she made me blog of the day earlier this week.

there's so much i don't know about advertising.
