Today's Random Thoughts is brought to you by the letter "U" and the number "5":
- The Scion box car is probably the ugliest car I've ever seen. Not sure how they can make a car any worse, but then again I thought the same thing after seeing the first PT Cruiser and Pontiac Aztecs.
- They have a new VW Rabbit out (after the years of the second coming of the VW Bug) - I'm all for it but I'm still holding out for the second coming of the Gremlin!
- Arby's by IBM has a sign out saying they're hiring "Great People" - that's a relief.... not sure what I'd think if the sign would have said "Hiring BAD People Only.... minimum 2 convictions needed to apply"
- I like my new golf club a lot - just need to learn to consistently hit it straight (the story with all of my clubs). Definitely one of the better "potential" clubs in my bag.
- I want a pimped out golf cart. With chrome frame, spinners (illegal in Iowa?), and per Drewbie's suggestion.... a LIFT KIT! How cool would that be? Drive up to a hole and have the car lower before you get out? I've always loved that suggestion.
- I really hate the Hawkeyes. I see someone wearing Iowa Hawkeye colors or clothing and I have one thought...... but I'm too nice to put it here.
- Where in Rochester is the KROC tower? Why do I get such horrible reception by the Crossroads Center (Outback Steakhouse area) and also by my townhouse?
- What exactly is the difference in Rochester between 106.3 and 106.9? They both broadcast KROC but at different strengths.
- How do we go about starting a petition to get a new radio station (or 3) in Rochester. KROC is horrible and plays the same 10 songs every hour (with 20 minutes of commercials). Need to convince the stations in the cities to broadcast an extra 10 miles or so South!
- Don't ever watch any of the American Pie movies on TBS, TNT, or USA. They are edited beyond the point of making them interesting. I don't remember in the originals Stiffler ever saying the word "crap" or "darn" or "heck".
- How did they edit Pulp Fiction and Goodfellas for USA? More movies that I'm shocked to see on public TV.
- What exactly can you say on TV? I should look for the FCC rules and see how they have changed over the past 20 years.
- YOU CAN'T DO THAT ON TELEVISION was another show I grew up with (I don't remember life pre-cable... sorry). It was on Nickelodeon.
- They need to bring back Ren and Stimpy!
- I still hear Gwen Stefani's Rich Girl and wonder how many people realize it is a remake from the musical Fiddler on the Roof.
- It is supposed to be 100 degrees this weekend.... even here in Minnesota. I need to move to Alaska.
- I thought last night's Final Jeopardy question was super easy but all three contestants missed it. ANSWER: Of the top 10 largest islands in the world, three belong to Indonesia and three belong to this country. Any guesses? Begin the Jeopardy Music....
- Five Bands that I wish would never have existed are Journey, Kansas, Foreigner, REO Speedwagon, and Rush.
- Having said the previous statement, I probably just offended 98% of my readers... but I stand by my statement.
- My mom has made "tree huggers" around the world proud by turning in her GMC Envoy for a smaller, more fuel efficient VUE from Saturn! Congrats Mom!
Photo of the Day - My mom was in Florida recently and thought she saw me there so had her picture taken with me. Yes, I see a resemblance - but no... it wasn't me.
Webpage of the Day - I continue to be amazed at how reading an article can make me of all people, speechless.... this is one of them. I show up at parties for the price of free beer... I need to bump up my rates it looks like.

So what was the final Jeopardy answer? Is it Japan?
I agree that Rochester radio is terrible, and if I didn't have a huge music collection, I might look into Sirius satellite radio. My brother-in-law and his wife swear by it, and listen to it all day. Since there are at least 3 Rochester radio stations that play the 5 bands you despise, I can see where you would not like Rochester's stations. I do not agree with you on those bands, but when radio stations are playing the same songs for 30 years, they get a little old after a while. There are only so many times one can hear "Wheel in the Sky" and "Jukebox Hero" without going crazy.
no to Japan
no to US
keep trying
O Canada!
