They have this wacky, obnoxiously costumed a capella quartet that sings lottery jingles in a vaguely rockish style like the Carmen San Diego guys. One of the singers has a ridiculously squeaky high voice.

I was just at a potluck and a Giants fan mentioned a sign he wanted mand I said “oh, I know (in a sketchy internet way) a man who runs a sign shop” but then I remembered you probably wouldn’t make a Giants sign.
stormtown - August 25, 2009
Oh, I'm sure he could make a Giants sign
It just might not be very complimentary toward the Giants.

Leopold Bloom - August 25, 2009
I like the ads for the Washington state lottery
They have this wacky, obnoxiously costumed a capella quartet that sings lottery jingles in a vaguely rockish style like the Carmen San Diego guys. One of the singers has a ridiculously squeaky high voice.
They’re totally awesome. I love them.
iglew - August 25, 2009
I LOVE CARMEN SAN DIEGO
where to gumshoe?
designatedforassignment - August 25, 2009
I just love the a capella group.
Didn’t care about the rest.
Even when they just sing, “the warrant”, it’s still cool.
iglew - August 25, 2009
No its imperative that you like a crucial part of my childhood!
designatedforassignment - August 25, 2009

I LOVE THIS GAME.
pam5981 - August 25, 2009
I like the flags one best.
It amuses me to memorize flags.

Pretty much what happened to the Giants last night
SwisherThresher - August 25, 2009
Can we not have a game like the Gio game earlier in the season?
doctorK - August 25, 2009
A home run wins the game for anyone
Hit4TheCycle - August 25, 2009
Technically that's not quite true.

It was more like a caprese/bruschetta combo.
ZigFan31 - August 25, 2009
Well I guess if were both liars that its ok
