Wearing My TarHeel Blue Today!!

Good luck to Jill (of "Lee and Jill" fame) as she flies to Los Angeles for the new season taping of Wheel of Fortune. More details in September when they'll actually broadcast the show but here's to hoping she wins!!! Don't ask for a "Q"

Went to "Trivia Night" last night downtown Raleigh. Overall the team took 3rd place - more importantly, some things to share in this installment of

DID YOU KNOW????

• Ringo is the oldest of the original 4 Beatles? He was July of 1940, Lennon was October of 1940, Paul 1942, George 1943..... we had guessed correctly
  
• David took 5 stones with him as he went to fight Goliath. Only needed 1 - lots of controversy as to why he took 5 when I researched it on the web. (we guessed 3)
  
• A Different World was a spin-off of the Cosby Show (someone knew that in our group... I had forgotten)
• "Misogamy" is the hatred of marriage.... we simply stated that it was being single and no relationship.
• "Noble Metals" are resistant to corrosion... weren't even close on this one
  

What else did we miss......

Here's the picture of the much coveted prize for 3rd place:


But I'm now torn between most annoying news of the past week..... the freaks and their obsession with Harry Potter (yeah, I mean you Miss Chachi) or the fact that every news station is talking about Lindsay Lohan like there's nothing else going on in the world. Seriously - I have 20 stations in my hotel room and 1/2 of them are talking about Lindsay. How dumb do you have to be though to get pulled over after being drunk yet again... AND be possessing some crack? She makes Britney look like a saint!

As for Harry.... there was a radio station here that the DJ was threatening to read the last 2 pages on the air and all these people were calling in to tell him how wrong it would be and not right... then the majority called in to say "DO IT" which was my thought....

Runner ups for news that should go away is the sports world focus on the betting NBA ref (I would bet 1/2 of the professional referees out there have wagered on their sport), dog fighting and the soon-to-be-unemployed Michael Vick, or Barry Bonds trying to hit 3 more homeruns so we can all sleep at night.... or care even less about MLB!!!

Haiku of the Day -
Basketball Central -
All around this area!
To me? Still.... "GO STATE"

Entertainment of the Day - With all the focus on drunk drugged up socialites on my TV last night, I was thankful that Bruce Almighty was showing (unfortunately on USA with dreaded commercials). Didn't realize that TBS was showing the Braves again till 5th inning. I still like that movie - the best lines are "SMITE ME OH MIGHTY SMITER" and "I'M THE OMEGA BABY!!!"

Weblink of the Day - I'm in a game mood today (and a destructive one) so found a Rampage wannabe game. Use the arrow keys, the space bar, and "a" and "s".... pay attention to which buildings you're supposed to be destroying!
