Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Save big money at Menards, but not on Menards...

^...save ^big ^money-- Gaa! That jingle will never leave me. Damn you, midwest!

They play it all the time in the store too. It's maddening.

Oh, no, that's too much. Being from the Chicago suburbs, between Menards and Empire Carpet (before their growth to add the -Today- addendum), there's a deep groove upon my brain made by those jingles. That, and John Madden's congested cadence for various advertisements. Simply John Maddening.

^...588-2300 --damn, it!

Did you notice how they created the "800" before the "588-2300" through a bit of creative audio editing of the original singing when they added the 800 part? If you didn't, you will now.
