Any of us who have done a roadside repair know exactly what you are thinking. I must admit that I would have happily used the plastic card excuse rather than do it myself, but there are those times when there is no practical alternative to getting grimy. Does it help to know that you've once again "built character"? Your evocative description was almost painful for me to read, because it was so accurate and familiar.

I imagine the two of you setting up shop on the side of the road, swallowing swords and breathing fire and tattooing flesh until you have earned enough money to pay for the current round of repairs. And then you move on, until the next breakdown... The term “making the nut” (as explained to me on this very site some time ago) comes to mind again and again.

The world is a more interesting place when you two are on the road. (Brundlefly is just a wonderful bonus.) We look forward to meeting you in the southwest for some truly awesome adventures!

I know quite a few Ren Fair workers and they are all well educated and highly talented. And my family attends these fairs multiple times each year. And we certainly don't fall in the stereotyped demographic represented by this commercial. That said - I think these commercials are wonderfully creative and very funny. I'm glad we can sometimes laugh at ourselves without getting mad. While I enjoy these commercials, I’ve had a similar response to this.
