Friday, December 22, 2006 I could talk about nachos, Las Vegas, Taco Bell or any of the other wonderful and interesting things that have happened over the past couple of weeks. I'd rather not. Rather, I'd like to talk about the best commercial I've ever seen in my life.

Noah and his wife are on the ark, counting animals. Noah's wife calling out names, Noah checking things off on his clipboard.

Wife: "Two lions"
Noah: "Two lions"
Wife: "Two bats"
Noah: "Two bats"
Wife: "Two termites"
Noah: "Two termites"
Unison: "TWO TERMITES?!"

At this point the camera cuts to an exterior shot of the ark and two pickup trucks bearing the logo for the extermination company fly out of the clouds, making Top Gun-esque jet noises. They zoom in to the open door of the ark, and bam. Show the phone number, that's it.

I don't know, but inexplicable flying pickup trucks zooming into Noah's ark to kill termites is pretty much the best thing that I can imagine.
