Small beef, big hands

I haven't indulged in a good rant lately, so here's one that's been more of a slow simmer than a boil over, but it will have to suffice. I am getting really tired of commercials for food that is clearly either smaller than it used to be, or so cheap that it cannot be a very large amount trying everything it can to make the food look large. Burgers, in particular, seem to be the worst offenders. I don't know who came up with the idea that if the actors actually use two hands to hold the burger and hold their elbows pointing straight out, the burgers will look bigger, but that person needs to be found and beaten. I don't care how many times you hold a burger with two hands, it does not have the ability to grow to fill the space. That property is reserved for gases, class sizes, and the miscellaneous stuff I have in my house. As for holding the elbows pointing straight out, that just looks too ridiculous to examine further. Ok, that's all I've got for a rant.

The school year is working towards its close, but I can't help but be a little bitter as my wife has two or three weeks left in her school year, and I have almost two months. I definitely miss the university schedule.

Red Wings are in the playoffs, but I hope their three-game losing streak does not indicate what will come. I still don't have Versus, so I'll have to hope for an occasional game on one of the big networks.
