FOCUS ON!!!!

Merry Christmas to all...

And to all a good night...whew...Em and I have been uber busy...I am visiting the east coast for the holiday...until the 6th...and Em is up in Eureka (and has some AWESOME news to share)...I won't tell...I promised :)








Some highlights:


-Em and I are still in the running for Ford Focus 2011 - rumor has it they eliminated 6 more teams...which leaves 11 teams left...and 6 will be on the show...whew doggie...we keep going...






The adventures of my 6am flight...(won't share all, just the HIGHLIGHTS)


-while standing in line for my boarding pass (at 5:30am for my 6am flight), got to the airport at 3am BTW...a bumble-ing old dude...apparently followed by two other people "cut" in front of me...to which the person behind me said "lady, that's the second person to do that to you" - I turned and smiled and said...sorry, I am not awake until 10am if I am not working :) ...then I had to...I said sir, you cut in line...then he proceeded to pass out free drink cards (NICE)...and his cute little asian honey said "you takey care of everything." WOW. I am so sick of hideous old fat men getting cute young things...like most BS sitcoms on tv today...seriously tho - I wanted the airline woman to say "next" and me to proceed...apparently, this is worse than the ralphs/kroger/harris teeter/acme deli line...was waiting for the flight attendant/stewardess (which is politcally correct), to re-enact a scene from THE WRESTLER and jam her hand into the printer and say "F" all of ya'll and run out ...kidding...


-My flight was delayed an hour because of the FLOODS IN CALIFORNIA...of course I move here for fun and sun...and get mudslides...well, I digress...


-I sat next to a woman reading a racy novel on the plane...on a KINDLE (insert that cute music from the commercial on the beach, here) I proceed to peer over my sunglasses (yes, I am that weirdo on the plane who wears sunglasses)....and pretend to snore...whilst I "accidentally" moaned...she replied...oh, um...to which I responded "no worries, I too have been following Winthrop and Joanna's adventures since page 27, I want to "feel his heat enter her sex as her thighs quiver with lust." She laughed.

*wanted a little middle eastern in the mix (as that is who I imagine in my fantasies)...mmmm

*for the rest of you ladies (and some men, I'm sure)...

And we enjoyed the rest of the novel over a bag of peanuts...after 15 bags each... I said this has to stop, I may not be getting any for at least a week or so...to which she smiled...you have hands don't you...then winked... ;)


-On the next flight...I sat next to a cute little dorky anthropologist in seat 20c (YEAHHHH WINDOW), which turned out to be the first seat once you entered the plane - interesting! And she started watching...wait for it...wait for it...TWILIGHT...twilight final scene
and offered to share her ear pieces with me...of course...I did not need because I know the whole movie by heart...

-Finally, I arrive at the Philly airport...my luggage on the next flight...and find be be be bop bop bop ...carolers...who make interesting sounds instead of singing...and get pix with them...my sister informed me we would be going caroling too - I told her not unless we wear the said outfits...a la a Charles Dickens classic :)

At sister's - went caroling with cute little kiddies...but the creepiest thing is when the people inside the house come out and get all close and try to touch you and smell you...trust me if you carol in random Jersey neighborhoods...THIS WILL HAPPEN TO YOU and it's v creepy...best part was the lights that attach to your carol book - I clipped it to my shirt and made BLAIR WITCH faces...some kids left crying...sorry, no pix :( waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa


*I will provide you with weird doll my sister thinks looks like me? eewww what?

Also, had to deal with pervy elf in the bathroom - see slideshow...seriously, if you try to pee and he is around...good luck...he is still in time out (and will be for a very long time)...since time out should be = to your age/years in minutes (5 year old = 5 minutes)...considering most nutcrackers date back to ancient greece - think before you look next time... 

*****************Have more stories...will post later promise...until next time...I love you fans...keep smiling keep shining...keep following the auto bon bons and you just might be driving a new 2011 Ford Focus by the end of February 2011 :)

Trivia Fun and The Auto Bonbons want YOU to help with an AD CAMPAIGN - it'll be fun (and delicious) :)

Attention Fans --- Em & Leigh – The Auto Bonbons – are having their first ever advertising slogan/campaign contest – selected and judged by YOU – our fans! Catchy? Colorful? Cool? We want YOUR ideas people!

To get your (and our) creative juices flowin’
we took a few campaigns/taglines/songs/movie quotes/headlines that are “blasts from our past.” Of course, at first glance/listen, you may be thinking – “wow, how clever that such and such company thought of this campaign.” But, when you listen or glance even “closer” or “harder,” you’ll see that The Auto Bonbons have a strong connection; it’s synchronous!


To name a few (just see below)… in case you want to “play along” and guess the tagline/company/product/song and year, we will list it. We won’t make you “turn to page 225,” or “wait until next week.” We will post it right below the slogan, picture and/or tagline. Also, you can score yourself 9/9 (do I smell “bonus” opportunities, too). Don’t worry we won’t give you an “F,” if you only get 3 correct. But come on people – know your current events, ad slogans, and movie/music trivia – these are some classics. We love you fans.

1. “The Auto Bonbons never say die. Auto Bonbons never say die.” For those of you who guessed James Bond – wroooooong. It’s one of the famous quotes from one of Leigh’s favorite childhood movies – Goonies (1985),

made even better, with a “bonbon” reference. And that’s right fans, they never say die – just like Em and Leigh – The Auto Bonbons, who (if you ask them), are still finalists in the upcoming Rally Race Competition. Woop! Woop!

2. The ____________was here. Got a little _________in you? (hint – alcoholic beverage). The Captain Was Here, Got a little captain in you – Captain Morgan. Clearly, Em & Leigh got here waaaay before the captain. Because when you think about it. YOU have a little bit of Em & Leigh (silly, fun-loving) girls inside of you. Be sure to tap into that a little each day, BTW – you’ll be smiling and laughing at everything or nothing at all. It makes life more fun with a little Em & Leigh (as you can see, we’re sure) 

3. Song - In the day we sweat it out in the streets of a runaway american dream


At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines
Sprung from cages out on highway 9,
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected and steppin out over the line
Baby this town rips the bones from your back
Its a death trap, it's a suicide rap
We gotta get out while were young
`cause tramps like us…because…”Baby we were born to run (1975) (Bruce Springsteen).” Leigh & Em view this song as “Baby we were booooorrnn to race.” Because they know that they would kick but in the Rally Race competition, but not without awesome fans like YOU!

4. “My preeeeecious” (said in very evil, eerie, raspy voice). I know many of you think this is an easy one – Gollum (Smeagol), referring to “the ring” in Lord of the Rings (2002).
Well, you’re right. Sméagol still vaguely remembered things like friendship and love, while "Gollum" was a slave to the Ring who knew only treachery and violence. Em and Leigh hope to earn the challenge of Ford Focus Rally contestants and if anyone has anything “lucky” for them to bring along that may: turn them invisible, make them last longer, and then eventually consume their minds – forward along. Ok, scratch the last part. You get the point, our preccciouss followers – te he!


5. Song(s) (yes fans, there’s a chance for a bonus points here; see, we are true sweethearts)!


And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree,
There will be an answer _______ ____ ____. Answer (1 point) - Let it be (Beatles, 1969). Let it be, Let it be, Em and Leigh for Rally Race – there will be an answer, let it be Em & Leigh. That’s speaking words of wisdom. Te he. Kidding people but we chose this song because it was the 12th and final album recorded by one of Em’s favorite bands, the Beatles. It was also the product of the great work of the Beatles collaborating live, in studio, on a project they had worked on prior but were unhappy with it so they decided to re-do it. That’s how Em and Leigh work on a lot of their projects – over and over again until they both love it. Kicking, screaming, collaborating, tough love, etc. (exhibit, their first video).

Ok bonus point time (also Beatles, and also from the Let it Be album)

Sounds of laughter shades of life
are ringing through my open ears
exciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which
shines around me like a million suns ____________________. Across the Universe (Beatles, 1969). (Bonus point – 1)Which is where Em & Leigh are headed in February 2011. Right! For a bonus point it was featured in the movie Pleasantville and remade by what amazing female artist? Fiona Apple (bonus point 2). The interesting thing about this song is that WHEN Em and Leigh get on the show – it’s totally gonna change their world – LOL!

6. Viva __________ (it’s one word here not too). So, nope guys, sorry it’s not Vegas. It’s another “V” – Viagra. So of course when you want a good, hard erection that could last for up to four hours (when you used to last two minutes, or not even get it up), if that – then yes grab one of the those “V’s”. But when you when a good, hard two minutes of laughter – down-LOAD one of these, Em & Leigh’s You Tube videos (EmNLeigh). Who knows, you may burn just as many calories while watching one of their hilllarious videos, as you do after a two minute (or four hours if you’re lucky), loving making session with your truck drivin’, oil changin’, country road drivin’ man. Sometimes the truth hurts, especially if he’s had a long day at the office and you “suffering from” that nagging headache – again!

7. “Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t.” (Almond Joy/Mounds, 1977). Or sometimes you feel like two nuts – which are the one, the only duo of, Em & Leigh. Open up and say Auto Bonbon – forget Mounds and Almond Joy – they are so 80’s…”live in the now man” a quote from another famous duo (for 1 bonus point), that’s Wayne and Garth, from Wayne’s World. Party on!

Couldn’t decide how to end the quiz so here are two for the grand finale.



8. “Two girls, one ________.” I know. I know. Many of you were thinking of that nasty video that “blew up” (no pun intended), You Tube many moons (no, not another pun), ago. Dirty, dirty, dirty, minds. This is actually – two girls, one adventure, which is the adventure that Em and Leigh hope to share on the upcoming reality television series (CBS) and webisode (HULU).

9. They’re here. (Poltergeist) (1982). Yes, Em & Leigh ARE HERE.
Traditionally and technically poltergeists are troubled spirits or ghosts that terrorize human beings, make loud noises and move objects around. Well, watch out (hide your children, look in your rear view mirror on the road), because Em & Leigh ARE HERE and they are very much alive and kicking. They aren’t going away anytime soon, so you might as well love ‘em, subscribe to ‘em and like ‘em. They may be driving cross country in a city, near you, very soon. Mwah hahaha mwahhahaha – insert evil Thriller laugh here (I actually will, if I can figure out how to thriller laugh and face BOO
*Disclaimer to the question above: Please note that Em & Leigh are the sweetest, most lovable characters you will ever enjoy meeting. Just don’t cut them off in traffic or in the checkout line at Ralphs. Hey-o!

So, how did YOU score?

12 (all 9 plus the bonus 3) = 12, you are a tv, movie, and music genius – wow! And what a memory


7-11 – pretty smart you are pilgrim


4-6 – normal or average – yikes, who wants to be that?


0-3 – Get outta the cave you filthy ignoramus (although WE still love YOU, so keep supporting us)


We thank you for your support and keep on keepin’ on with us. Thanks for reading and please do some of the things below to help out (us, with the followers and YOU with a new car)! Oh yeah!


Please post your votes, opinions and comments – they count America, it’s not like voting – kidding kidding kidding. But come on seriously, we knew the house was going Republican.


Check yes, for enjoying the fact that we included a little political jargon in this blog 
