According this article on the Brand New blog, Jack In The Box is changing their logo, and can already be seen on several stores on the West Coast. (which you can see pictures of in the article)
There’s been a bit of logo changes on several popular brands lately, some successful some not so much. The new simple Pepsi logo and can design is actually pretty nice, but others like Tropicana have already reverted back to the original, much more recognizable version.
I’m not quite sure what to think about the new Jack in the Box logo. I really liked the old one, and it just seems like there’s too much emphasis on the “Jack” part of it. I understand the clever concept of putting “Jack” on the “Box” but it just doesn’t work for me.
In fact, inspired by a comment on FriendFeed, I made what initially came to mind when I saw the new logo:

To celebrate our favorite FriendFeeder and just an overall great guy, myself and several members of FriendFeed got together and recorded a video saying our favorite catch phrase: “DAMN YOU STEVEN PEREZ!”
Happy DAMN YOU STEVEN PEREZ Day, Steven!

This week’s FULL of WIN Strip is dedicated to someone who is completely “Full of Win”: Mona Nomura from FriendFeed!
Mona is one of the most genuine, happy, interesting people you could ever know. If FriendFeed was crack, Mona was the dealer who gave me the first hit for free. Often described by others (including myself) as the “Queen of FriendFeed” (complete with her Lego crown), Mona always posts the weirdest and funniest stuff gathered from the nether reaches of the Internet. Her skills at finding bizarre, random things surpasses any one single person I know.
Tomorrow, 1/29/2009, is her Birthday, so I decided to draw Mona with several of the things she loves: Lego, Star Wars, and Bacon.
Happy Birthday Mona!!

Loving Food is about as basic a love as it comes. Breakfast, lunch, dinner. Bowls of cereal at midnight. Snickers bars out of the candy machine. Perfectly grilled filet mignon’s on the charcoal grill. The Rooti Tooti Fresh and Fruity at IHOP.
Sorry, I had a point in there somewhere, but it was lost as soon as I typed “Rooti Tootie.” While I do love food overall, for me its not only about what I am consuming, but the environment I am in, and especially the company I dine with.
The most optimal conditions for the perfect meal usually involve being surrounded by my friends and/or family and enjoying dinner over good conversation. Sometimes it’s the occasion that makes the meal memorable, like Thanksgiving, and other times it’s just a late night meeting for coffee and milkshakes at Denny’s (or House of Pies, or IHOP, or Waffle House.)
Since listing my favorite foods would not only be boring and would make me very hungry, instead I will make the rest of you hungry by showing you pictures of some of my recent favorite meals.
For anyone not lucky enough to live in Texas, this is what we call BBQ. This is not meat with BBQ sauce poured on it. This is true Texas BBQ.
The meal above was what myself, my girlfriend and many friends enjoyed during a weekend in April. The meal included BBQ Chicken, steaks, potatoes, and grilled peppers. We gathered at my friend’s MonaLisa and Crystal’s house and enjoyed the food and many laughs.
This was taken in 2005 during a trip to Lake Buchanan, Texas. We came into town for breakfast at The Bluebonnet Cafe, and when Jinny ordered a cinnamon roll and told us to “just wait,” I had no idea what to expect.
What came out was the giant cinnamon pastry drowning in icing almost the size of my head. I had just a bite and it was almost too much to handle. Breakfast was wonderful, but it wouldn’t have been half a delicious if it hadn’t been with such great company which is what memory will always truly standout.
Behold, the Lindy’s cake. Lindy’s is a bakery in Houston that receives its recipes from Heaven, and bakes just a little bit of it into all of their cakes. I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying them a few times, as they are a favorite of the McCormicks.
I apologize in advance to Becky and Henry, but this is the best way to describe what it is like to enjoy a Lindy’s cake:
Now that I’ve shared a few of my favorite food moments, I’m going to go eat everything in my fridge.
Frightening.
Yes, I’m a huge nerd and also a World of Warcraft addict.
And if you’ve never played the game (or any MMO, for that matter) you won’t get the jokes in the animated image above.

My favorite part has to be that they suspect Boromir of being a ninja. “I get plate drops kk?”
REAL ULTIMATE POWER!!!!11!!
I’ve mentioned before of my love for ICanHasCheezburger and LOLCats, but this mornings post has given me a serious case of the giggles and I cannot stop laughing.
Seriously. So dumb.
The above is SNL’s Digital Short from this last Saturday’s episode starring Bon Jovi with Foo Fighters as the music guest. I don’t know why this is so damn funny, but even with the sound off I was cracking up.
The ending makes no sense.
Bravo, Samburg.
BELIEVE IN YOUR DREAMS!
The following is what I have mailed to the City of Dallas, without the strikethroughs or italicized text. That’s just my own personal comments on the situation.
To The City Of Dallas Corrupt Dirty Shithole Joke of a City:
I recently received a collection notice on two unpaid parking tickets in your city that occurred on Sunday, 6/24/2000 within 9 minutes of each other, for “PARKING ON UNAPPROVED SURFACE”, which the lady obstinate bitch who repeated herself like a broken record I spoke with on the phone told me was a grassy area.
I am disputing the parking ticket on the following facts:
1. This is the most important of all: I have never been to Dallas in my entire life. Ever. (Seriously, your city sucks balls.)
2. The tickets are two different ticket numbers but contain the same information:
Ticket 1: Occurred at 9:07am on 315 N RAVINIA DR
Ticket 2: Occurred at 9:15am on 314 N RAVINA DR
You can see that the tickets are 8 minutes apart and occur what looks to be the same exact street, each with a $95.00 charge.
3. I never received any notification of parking tickets until last year around this same time, 6 years later.
4. The time and date in question is even more proof that it was not me or any vehicle I have ever driven. It was a Sunday morning, and I was still asleep. In HOUSTON. Seriously, get with the fucking program.
5. The vehicle in question was totaled in February of 2001 and I do not own it anymore. (RIP Pezmobile)
6. I have to repeat this, because this is the most important fact of all: I. HAVE. NEVER. BEEN. TO. DALLAS. The car in question, a 1997 Ford Escort, has also never been to Dallas, or if it did, was prior to my owning it in 1999 which is a year prior the tickets.
Please contact me to discuss this dispute, and remove these fraudulent charges from my record. After this is resolved, I do not wish to ever be contacted by The City Of Dallas ever again, and this incredibly ridiculous error is only cementing the desire to NEVER visit your city.
Thank You,
Haggis MacBastard
Apologies to B-Dogg McGee. No offense to you, but your city is stupid.
