Oops.

And on comes this commercial for Auburn as a university, a we&#8217;re-part-of-the-future inspiration sort of thing.  And as it&#8217;s going, here is how the conversation went (more or less):<\/p>\n<p>Me:  Hey, that&#8217;s the inside of Comer Hall!<\/p>\n<p>Steven:  Band people!<\/p>\n<p>Me:  Ahhh!  That&#8217;s Dr. Hitchcock, my old English professor!<\/p>\n<p>Both Me and Steven:  Hey that&#8217;s Asian Brad!!!<\/p>\n<p>Steven:  I know that girl, she&#8217;s in one of my computer classes!<\/p>\n<p>Mom:  So that&#8217;s what Asian Brad looks like.<\/p>\n<p>It was weird; every scene we knew somebody or something like that.  I was greatly amused.  Even more amused to see Asian Brad look all nice-kid and say something serious.  Wonder if they paid him anything.  Wonder if he was drunk.  <\/p>\n<p>At least we know they used real Auburn people, and not actors portraying Auburn people.  You gotta have the real thing, man.  And this commercial did.  Yay, and kudos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I forgot to include this with my weekend sum-up. Oops.
