would you like some sasquatch skin with that?

in case you missed it, college football season is in full swing.

also, our beloved colorado rockies just got spanked in the world series last night.

"so what?" you ask.

well, in our household, football PLUS baseball EQUALS ...

"sports on television"

a lot.

and "sports on television" means my kids are exposed to very "manly" advertisements for such consumer products as beer and beef jerky.

and it just so happens that, while i'm not a big eater of beef jerky, if i WERE i'd buy one brand and one brand only just because of the ads ...

Jack Link's Beef Jerky presents "Messin' With Sasquatch".

they're hilarious.

you can actually go watch their ads online here ... www.messinwithsasquatch.com

we love these ads. with a DVR we can actually rewind them and watch them over and over. which we do.

so we're in costco the other day and passed by a display of beef jerky. not the jack link's kind, but the costco kind and wyatt announces "there's some sasquatch".

oooooh, this is good ... he actually thinks beef jerky is called "sasquatch". so i snicker a little under my breath and tell him, "yes, he's right, there is some sasquatch".

john catches up with us and before i have a chance to share with him that our 4 year old has concluded that "beef jerky" is also called "sasquatch" wyatt looks up at his daddy and asks him - while pointing at the bag of beef jerky - "is that made out of SASQUATCH SKIN?"

"why yes, wyatt, as a matter of fact it is" ...

so, of course, we had to buy some, just to let him know what sasquatch skin tastes like.

it's salty.

but, of course, you already knew that.

so, if you aren't familiar with Jack Link's Beef Jerky or their sasquatch ads go check the site out and remember, this is an absolute GOLDMINE if you're in the market for ways to rile up your kids.

we pulled the "Pickup" on riley the other day ... it made her MAD until we actually let her in the car and then she admitted that it was pretty darn funny ...

and we're all about that 'round here ...
