Ab Circle!

So, on the 4th of July, Trav and I were watching a kids show for a little while, and soon we noticed every commercial break included an ad for the Ab Circle Pro. The commercials were seriously making me laugh non-stop. I'm not sure why (maybe you can tell me if you watch the video). I called Molly and Joe in to see, and even Joe's parents were forced to watch it with me and comment. Trav and I made little jokes about the Ab Circle, talking about having one.

Today, when leaving work, my cell notified me of a voice mail message. It was Trav calling to say, in a serious and slightly grumpy voice, "Baconar...for Christmas I want an abcycle. Well, bye."

Ha! It turns out Molly and Trav were discussing Santa getting in to the new house on their way home tonight. Since they don't have a real fireplace with a chimney (just one of those electric numbers with the fake light-up log that I've seen before and also find hilarious. I'm like, flip the switch! flip the switch! so I can look at it), Molly made up a scenario where Santa climbs in through her window, and she tells him what Travis wants. She said to Trav, "I'll say to Santa Travis would like a...." expecting that he would say something related to his obsession Thomas the train, but instead he filled in the blank with "Abcycle!"

Watch this commercial, and I guarantee that the Ab Circle will move to the top of your 2009 Christmas list too! Not.

Glad you enjoyed the post, Sasha! Thanks for including the reviews link. It's settled. We all should have a Just Say No Policy for the Ab Circle. :-)
