First up today, I have to get a little house keeping out of the way. I’d like to wish a belated birthday to my friend Tom. Tom turned thirty-three or thirty-four yesterday — to be honest, we’re not really sure how old he is. I wanted to mention it because I have to share this photo of Tom taken in front of the White House:

Tom doing The Robot

in front of the White House

I thought that was pretty funny.

Note to the Government; BobBorden.com had absolutely nothing to do with that photo, personally, I thought it was a disgrace. Walter Kim is the photographer and I can get you any information on him at the drop of a hat. Just trying to do my part for a better America.

Something else was brought to my attention yesterday. Kellita, from my message board raised an interesting question about my boycott against Pepsi, she writes, “Isn’t Frito Lay a subsidiary of Pepsi?” After three minutes of exhaustive research, it turns out that yes, Frito Lay is a subsidiary of Pepsi. Pepsi bastardized footage from my favorite film (Easy Rider) and now they own Doritos?! Is this a conspiracy, am I losing my mind? Why is everybody out to get me?! I can’t even enjoy the sweet, sweet taste of my favorite snack food?! Have I gone insane!!!!!!!!?????????? AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Internet Acting, thank you, thank you very much.

Seriously, any company that makes Doritos is good in my book. I officially lift my boycott on Pepsi.

Turns out, Frito Lay is a subsidiary of

Pepsi — oops. The boycott is lifted!

Back in the day, I’d come home from a long day of flunking remedial math, sit down in front of the tube and pour me a big old bowl of Doritos. Sometimes, I’d even dip them in peanut butter. Was that combination good for me? No. Did it taste good? Hell yes! It was the 80’s, they didn’t know about health back then. But they did know about making great music, what up Motley Crue?!

OK, let’s review: You got a guy in front of the White House doing The Robot, you have the humiliation of me not knowing that Pepsi owns Frito Lay and you have a lovely recipe for Doritos and peanut butter. I’d say that’s enough for a Thursday.

Congratulations to Late Show this morning. We’re nominated for a whole slew of Emmy Awards. God Bless America.
