By the by...

Here is the link for the world's greatest commercial-- the one that started all the sidebar trouble to begin with. While the commercial itself is nothing special, I defy you to get the catchy jingle from your head after a listen or two. And it's in Rocky Mount, NC! I am very envious of the people who actually get to see this commercial during their every day television viewing...



By the way-- notice that the jingle specifically calls them "Good" buffalo wings, as opposed to "Great," which would have fit the rhyme scheme just as well. That can't be good...

As a native of the greater Rocky Mount area, I can attest that we do have the market cornered on snappy jingles.

Also, Buffalo Road (road, road) used to be a dry cleaner's. And Tarrytown Mall is being demolished to make room for a Sam's Club. The mall used to have fountains that you could pitch pennies into, and a Roscoe Griffin's shoe store that had a (nonfunctioning since the fifties) "shoe x-ray machine." Back in the day, you stuck your foot into the bottom of it and it would bombard you with radiation and you could see your bones.

Unfortunately, instead of turning you to into the hulk, it just ended up giving you cancer. It was actually quite frightening even when it was just a benign piece of decor.

That is one fantastic commercial. I especially enjoy the way the cartoon buffalo's mouth moves at the end.
