Today we take a look at those lovely, low-budget trainwrecks known as the local commercial.  Here are some favorites......

Divine Rags - Memphis, TN

TDM Auto - High Point, NC

And who could forget.....Flea Market Montgomery - Montgomery, AL

Looking back, I think it's safe to say that Seinfeld was monumental, especially compared to the sitcoms that have come and gone since.  What's even more amazing is that co-creator Larry David was able to trumph himself with Curb Your Enthusiasm (now in it's 8th season).  This show looks like a ton of fun to work on.  Here's proof.

Ever wonder what news anchors do during commercial breaks?  Now you know.

Bushwick Bill is a legend.  A midget gangster rapper from Jamaica who came to the states and linked up with Scarface and Willie D to form Geto Boys.  In high school we were always amused by dirty raps, but Geto Boys brought it to extremes (rape, murder, angel dust).  We listened in amazement not thinking about what it might be like to hide such records from our own children someday.  

Fast forward to 1998 and I ran into Bushwick Bill at a Twista show (of all places).  I told him about listening to his records on the down low as a teen and tried not to stare at his "bad" eye.  Kinda surreal. 

1990 was my senior year in high school.  At 5'4" I handled the point for our basketball team and carried an enormous chip on my shoulder.  Before a game against our inter-county rivals, the Rockville Rox, I asked my Latin teacher (yes, I took Latin...and Spanish) to translate "Size Ain't Shit" for me.  He rolled his eyes and obliged scribbling  "Maxum Non Excretum" - I wrote it on athletic tape and put in on the back of my basketball shoes. 

Some folks think that everything happens according to plan - whether that's fate or pre-destination.  But sometimes things just happen.....and often in a peculiar way.  Physics and dumb luck - that's what I'm talking about.  Peep the lucky bastards below.
