T.G.I.Fridays

(After writing this, I happened to come across a very funny video by Nick Swardson and friends over at funnyordie.com. The video, I.F.H Mondays, is based on the same premise as my blog. Unfortunately, they came out with it 7 months before me. Normally, I'd be upset, but Swardson is one of my favorite comics, so I'm just happy we think on the same wavelength.)

I like the restaurant T.G.I Fridays, which of course, plays off the classic saying "Thank God it's Friday!"

I think that is a cool concept that should be applied to new restaurants. So I suggest we open F.I.A. Mondays, as in, "Fuck, it's another Monday!" If you want to go for a more positive vibe, we can go with L.G.S.D.W.S.W.T.U.C.A.T.B Saturdays, as in, "Let's get so drunk we sleep with that ugly chick at the bar Saturdays!" But that would just create a sign that was too big.

By the way, T.G.I.F doesn't work for the millions of people (myself included) who have to work on the weekends, mostly to serve the 9 to 5 folks who are lucky enough to have them off.

The New York Times has a televised commercial for their weekend newspaper, which, surprisingly enough, is called The Weekender. The paper actually comes out Friday through Sunday, which I suppose confuses some into believing the weekend is actually a day longer. During said commercial, a young lady pitches the paper by saying, "After all, who doesn't want to start the weekend early?" Again, the millions of people who actually have to work on the weekends. I'm not a violent person, but I really want to punch that lady. Maybe they would write about it in The Weekender.
