We're taking bets that this was a great year for TV...

Here is my top 20 list of TV shows for 2006. I need to have 20 because it was a great year for TV. ( Honorable mentions: Battlestar Galactica (I haven't watched it, but Ian raves and that is good enough for me), The Class (It makes me laugh every week) House (I am really starting to like this show) Veronica Mars (A great show that needs to be renewed for another year.)

20. Grey's Anatomy - It is getting a little campy, but it still has McDreamy and Katherine Heigl is a hottie.
19. 30 Rock - This show started very slow, but Alec Baldwin and the Page Kenny are hysterical.
18. Numbers - Another fun pleasure.
17. Las Vegas - I know it is stupid television, but it is consistently enjoyable.
16. My Name is Earl - Jason Lee is consistently funny and you have to love Jamie Priestley and her redneckedness. :)
15. The Sopranos - A great start to the end of this show. I cannot wait to see how it ends.
14. West Wing - It ended on such a high note. I wanted to see President Jimmy Smits.
13. Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip - Sorkin is slowly finding his groove and this will be one of the top shows in a couple years.
12. Deadwood - How is it that this show will no longer be on TV?
11. CSI - Sadly this season I don't get to watch it enough, but it still is one of the top shows on TV.
10. Project Runway - Tim Gunn and Heidi Klum continue to deliver some great reality TV.
9. How I Met Your Mother - A wonderful sitcom that has resurrected the career of Doogie Howser.
8. Friday Night Lights - This is a wonderful show that has some great compelling characters and stories.
7. Heroes - The surprise of the fall and it is now going to compete with 24. I need two TiVo's for this.
6. Scrubs - Zach Braff says this might be their last season. I hope not.
5. CSI: Miami - David Caruso may be the new William Shatner of overacting, but they have wonderful storylines.
4. Boston Legal - Part comedy, part drama, all genious. If you don't watch this show you should ever single week. Some of the best writing and acting on television.
3. LOST - It may have not been a great start to the season, but overall this show delivers.
2. The Office - This show continually delivers the laughs.
1. 24 - Kiefer and saving the world. You cannot beat that.

We're taking bets that someone is watching over me...

Open Letter to my Guardian Angel

Dear Guardian Angel,

Thank you very much for watching over me today. Twice large deer were in my path(within 5 minutes) and twice you were there to make sure I was aware of it. It was pitch black and even though my lights were on I think you gave me a little nudge to be more alert. If there is any title that I do not want to have in life it would be Bambi's killer. I am sure that my care would have irreparable damage and who knows what would have happened to me. I know that you have been there for me countless times and I probably have never thanked you. Now I can safely say that Bambi and his family are safe in the woods of Hamden, CT.

Greg

We're taking bets that wishes everyone a very Merry Christmas...

Merry Christmas to everyone!!!

We're taking bets that Hottie of the Week...

Since it is Christmas Eve I thought I would recognize Mrs. Claus. She has to be a hottie because Santa has stayed with her for so long and I am sure there would be plenty of women who would give it up to a man with a steady job. :)

We're taking bets that it is time to look back...

Hello WTBT readers!!! Thanks to everyone that has responded to my weekly questions. I am glad that you have enjoyed it. I especially am happy that some of you randomly answer some weeks. It is good to know that the questions made you think a little. Keep it up. This week's questions are fun and simple. Remember to invite others because the more the merrier!!!

A. Did you ever have a crush on one of your teachers?

B. Did you have a favorite lunchbox as a kid? Do you wish you carried a cool lunch box to work today?

C. What was your favorite thing about the summer of 2006?

Answers:

A. I absolutely did. Mrs. Spinelli in 3rd grade. The worst thing was she got married in May and we had a sub the rest of the year. Man I thought she was awesome. Probably the best teacher I ever had.

B. I did not have a lunch box as all of my lunches were in a brown paper bag. My parents really didn't like that extravagance, plus I would probably have lost it within a couple of days. I do wish I could have one today though. I would probably have a Red Sox one or a LOST one.

C. My favorite thing about summer '06 was all the time I got to spend at Ian's family cottage in RI. That is one of my favorite places in the world and whenever I am there it is comforting. I just hope '07 is as good as '06!!

WTBT Volume 80 Series 2006...

We're taking bets that...

* Saturday Night Live has slowly made a huge comeback and the Digital Short with Justin Timberlake was hysterical. (Be careful it is the uncensored version.)
* this just seems a little too gross from my tastes and I love mashed potatoes.
* the Phoenix Suns might not lose again in 2006.
* the Scottish must be easy to beat in a war because a cold wind really would be their undoing.
* any conversation about grandma and sex is just not right.

We're taking bets that some people are boneheads...

Here is my list of the biggest boneheads of 2006. Some of them are celebrities and some of them are politicians. Normal people did stupid things to, but it is less fun to pick on them.

13. Any athlete who thinks that they are above the law or shouldn't get fired for stupidity. Terrell Owens is the leader of this group.
12. O.J. Simpson - A book on how you would of killed Nicole. Come on man!
11. Dick Cheney - You shot your friend in the face and he apologized. Nice work.
10. Pope Benedict - Not a good speech on Muslims. Not good at all.
9. Nicole Ritchie - You finally admit you have an eating issue and then you get pulled over for DUI. What's next becoming friends with Paris again? Oops.
8. Mark Foley - Your e-mail can be tracked buddy. Pedophiles are just not cool. 17 isn't the new 18.
7. Isiah Thomas - You are the worst coach and GM of the worst team in the NBA. Then you go and start a fight in a basketball game by sending in the goon squad. When is someone going to stop you?
6. K-Fed - How can you screw that up dude? She's hot. She's talented and she is rich. You are none of those things. See you on Surreal Life 2010.
5. Michael "Kramer" Richards - Anger doesn't lead to racism. Racists lead to racism.
4. Spinach and Lettuce - Um no one wants to eat you even though you are supposed to be healthy. How about getting rid of the E-coli.
3. Ryan Phillipe - Cheating on Reese might be the stupidest thing I ever heard. You couldn't go to counseling or something.
2. George W. Bush - Even with a huge report telling you that you've screwed up Iraq you will still stay until the job is finished. Do you even know what that means.
1. Mel Gibson - I couldn't believe that someone beat out GWB, but you took the cake this year. At least you didn't have a love child. Um oh yeah. Forget I said that.

We're taking bets that Hottie of the Week...

Hottie Bridget Monyahan just broke up with Patriot Tom Brady. Her new TV show Six Degrees (Which I actually enjoyed) has been put on hiatus and probably won't be back. She needs some love. She is from Longmeadow, MA and first hit the scene as a hot bartender with an anger management problem on Coyote Ugly. I hope that she can find some steadier work than she has found because she truly is one of the most beautiful women in the world.

We're taking bets that you love the circus, but hate the clowns...

Hey Everyone!!! I hope you are doing well in this Holiday season. I have been extremely busy the last few weeks, so I apologize for the sparse posts. Hopefully I will be back in full swing from this day forward. Tomorrow will start some of my end of the year lists. I hope you enjoy these questions. They are kind of simple and fun. Invite others to write in and answer. Have fun!

A. If you joined the circus, what act would you most want to perform?

B. Which do you enjoy more the circus or a parade? Why?

C. If you had 30 days to spend millions like Mortimer Brewster in Brewster's Millions (except you could keep what you bought) what would be the first 3 things you would buy for you and no one else? Why?

Answers:

A. I would want to be a high-wire juggler. I think it would combine to really cool skills. The Flying Gregbino!!!

B. I am more of a parade person. There are a lot less clowns and usually you get to hear some fun music from marching bands. Also if you can get some shriners into small cars that is always fun.

C. I would first buy a 52 inch HDTV. I love TV and movies and this would make me happy. I would then buy my parent's current house. I spent a lot of time there and it saddens me that I will not be able to go back one day. Lastly I would be a fleet of Jeeps both Wranglers and Grand Cherokees. They are my favorite cars and it would be nice to have a fleet of cars. :)

We're taking bets that says "Holy Crap"...

Actor Peter Boyle died today at the young age of 71. He was a wonderful actor that made people laugh for the last ten years as Frank Barone on Everybody Loves Raymond. His timing was impeccable and he was repeatedly one of the funniest characters ever created for television. Peter was also the monster in Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein. If you have not seen his performance it is a classic. It is sad to see you go and I hope that you are smiling down on us in heaven.

WTBT Volume 78 Series 2006...

We're taking bets that...

* LaDainian Tomlinson may go down as the most unbelievable running back ever to play football.
* Kofi Annan gave the US government the equivalent of a bitch slap in his last speech.
* the Patriots offense looked worse than George W. Bush on the microphone at any Q & A session.
* it's weird that people keep getting lost in the US.
* the Red Sox better work very hard to properly please the Japanese.
* there is almost nothing worse than cold rain.

We're taking bets that Hottie of the Week...

Hottie Sienna Guillory will be most excellent playing Arya in Eragon this week. She is quite a cutie from England. I think that Eragon will be an excellent movie and I look forward to her being in each of the movies in the trilogy.

We're taking bets that sometimes you are just going to smell...

Open Letter to Stinky MacOdor,

Dear Lady whose farts brought down a plane,

Farts happen and sometimes they are going to smell. It is a way of life. When you type the word farts into Google you will get almost 3 million websites dealing with farts. There is even a original Facts on Farts webpage. With all that being said why did you try to hide your farts?

I know you would have been looked at funny and people might even have snickered. I know that embarrassment is awful, but now a plane had to land because you lit a match. The whole world has seen the story that your farts brought down a plane. I thought that only people's fathers could do that.

I understand that people say light a match when they smell farts, but really that doesn't do anything but make things smell like sulfur. I am not really sure what is worse, but on a plane I would go with farts. I might be gross and make me gag, but I won't feel like there is a bomb on the plane. So if I have advice for you and any of my readers it would be this:

FART AWAY PEOPLE!!!
FARTS ARE FUN AND WON'T CRASH YOUR PLANE!!!

Now if anyone know how to make a fart bomb I don't want to hear about it. It is really gross and just unnecessary. Thank you!

* NYC is attempting to get healthier by banning trans fats.
* you were shocked by the Eagles beating the Panthers last night.
* many of you didn't watch the Eagles play the Panthers last night.

* the best news the Red Sox have received all off-season is that Jon Lester's cancer is in remission.

* you might molest another person for a lot of reasons, but bingo truly takes the cake.
* the best thing that might ever happen to Lindsay Lohan is her going to Alcoholics Anonymous.
* Florida deserves a shot to beat Ohio State.
* you are shocked that Lance Bass broke up with his boyfriend. It is all downhill from here for him.
* Albert Pujols sounded like a whiny bitch complaining about the MVP award and you are happy he is going to apologize to Ryan Howard.

We're taking bets that Hottie of the Week...

Hottie Connie Britton is most excellent on Friday Night Lights. She may not be a young vixen, but Connie holds her own against the young high school hotties. She got Jack from 24 to love her as well as Michael from Spin City. That's not too bad a resume. Add to the fact that she is a pretty good actor and you have gold. I hope you are with me on this one.

We're taking bets that you gotta love Tom Brady...

I stumbled across this YouTube clip of a Tom Brady Tribute is absolutely hilarious. Bill Simmons refered to it in his espn.com column. Everything about it is funny. I think my favorite line is about his chin. Watch it with enjoyment on this dreary New England Friday.

We're taking bets that sometimes you just can't take it anymore...

Hello WTBT readers!!! I hope that you all had a great Thanksgiving or a fun Thursday if you didn't celebrate. Winter is only 22 days away with Christmas 4 days later. 2006 seems to be flying by and hope that WTBT has made it a little more fun. Stay tuned for my end of the year lists and 2006 wrap-up. I hope that you enjoy this week's questions. I am hoping for a big turn-out this week so ask others to answer. Maybe this can become an even more cool site with new and interesting readers. Remember to post your answers in the comments section and you can be anonymous if you want to be.

A. What is one musical artist that you wish never ever recorded another song in your lifetime?

B. The lead singer from Stone Sour looks like Jeff Daniels from Dumb & Dumber in their new video Through the Glass. I can't say that is a look that I would have ever thought someone would want; what look do you hope to never ever have?

C. Finish this sentence... If you were a balloon you would_______.

Answers:

A. I think my answer would have to be Fergie as a solo artist. Her music is really some of the dumbest music ever recorded. They don't even have good beats. I think I hate her more than nails on the chalkboard.

B. I don't think that I would ever want to look like Moe from the Three Stooges. With the exception of Pete Rose no one has ever been able to pull off that haircut.

C. I would float around little kids so that they would have something to look at and enjoy, but I would fly away when they tried to catch me. That would allow me to entertain tons of children and not just one with grubby hands. :)

We're taking bets that...

* Mark McGwire should not be in the Hall of Fame.

* you love the fact that the guy in the article was quoted as saying, "It's got no male utilities."

WTBT Volume 74 Series 2006

We're taking bets that...

We're taking bets that Cosmo Kramer isn't funny anymore...

Open Letter to Michael Richards aka Kramer

Dear Michael,

Well your years of being hilarious are over. Granted you really have not done anything worthwhile in entertainment, but this really changes things. Your racist rant at the comedy club was as bad as Mel Gibson's except yours was caught on tape.

What I don't quite understand is your argument that you are not racist, but it was because you let your anger get the best of you. I have been angry numerous times in my life. I have also said many things that were hurtful to others when I was angry that I wish I could have taken back. Sadly I cannot and my hope is that my apologies were met with forgiveness and I would understand if they were not. With that being said I never was so angry racist comments came out of my mouth.

That is the biggest problem that I have. People who do not have racist thoughts do not spew racist words when they are angry. They may make fun of what you are wearing or what you look like physically (big ears, fat, lots of zits, etc.) but not racist terms. Now the biggest questions I pose to the readers of this blog. Does Kramer's ignorance make it harder to watch reruns of Seinfeld? I don't think it changes for me. Mainly because I don't believe that Seinfeld was a racist show. Mr. Kramer I think you have lost me as a fan of any of your work for now until the end of time. I think that you need counseling and sensitivity training. I am sorry to say that you are a racist and you need to change your ways.

WTBT Volume 72 Series 2006...

* the NBA season is going on and no one really seems to care right now.
* I am really hoping that my readers have something to say about the GlobalOrgasm.

We're taking bets that Hottie of the Week...

Hottie Lauren Cohan who will be in the new classic Van Wilder 2: The Rise of Taj. She is a real cute woman who has great flowing hair. I think she is going to be most enjoyable and will be in a ton of creepy fake horror movies soon. Why? Because that is what happens to pretty young women in Hollywood.

We're taking bets that you love having a buddy...

Hello WTBT Readers!!! I am sorry this is late, but it has been a crazy week at the QU. I hope that you are all doing well and looking forward to turkey time. Any international readers I hope you enjoy some turkey too even though Thanksgiving isn't part of your country. I for one am tired of the drear that has occurred over the last 5 days. I crave the sun even though it blinds me in my office. I hope that you enjoy today's questions. I think they will allow for some fun and creativity. Ask others to answer. Make it a work thing.

A. People around the world love duos. Thelma & Louise, Calvin & Hobbes, Tango & Cash, Bill & Hillary just to name a few. What duo would you like to be the third in? Why?

B. If you are having Thanksgiving Dinner on Thursday what food will you not eat that you typically have on your Thanksgiving table?

C. What part of your body do you itch the most?

Answers:

A. I would love to be a part of the Snoopy, Woodstock, Greg Trio. Wouldn't it be awesome? I could help them torment the cat next door and they did some of the most fun things that I would now be a part of. Oh if only!

B. I refuse to eat gravy because it always has gross stuff in it that I do not want to know about. I would much rather eat non-lumpy gravy out of a can than the stuff my Mom makes. Don't get me wrong everything else is perfect.

C. For me I think it is my nose. I have a weird feeling that in a past life I was addicted to cocaine and that is why it itches.

With LOST on a 13 week hiatus some of us will have to turn to DayBreak to fill the void. Besides Taye Diggs there are a number of hot women on the show. Hottie Moon Bloodgood is one of them. She has quite a name and a really cute smile. I am hoping the show is a good as it's actors are hot. (Internet was down last night so this post is also late.)

We're taking bets that it is nice to have a twin...

Hello WTBT Readers!!! I hope that you are enjoying yourselves. It is question time and I have a few fun questions for everyone to answer. I am hoping for a good turn out this week so invite others to answer. Post your answers in the comments section. Have fun and thanks for reading!!!

A. Do you have an identical twin or do you wish you had one? Why or why not?

B. What is the last thing that made you smile so much that you noticed yourself smiling?

C. If you could give any animal species the power to talk what animal would you choose and why?

Answers:

A. I would love to have a twin because you would always have a co-conspirator in life. You could have fun or get in trouble together and never have to worry about having at least one friend. I am sure there are tons of troubles, but I think that would make life a little easier.

B. I was watching a small child stick his tongue out at his mom and go "Pbbbttt!" It was real cute and made me smile from ear to ear.

C. I think I would give birds the ability to talk because they travel the most. I am sure they have some very interesting stories.

We're taking bets that K-Fed had it coming...

Here are a couple of observations of the last couple of days.

* Britney has finally decided to divorce K-Fed. I would love to get e-mails from all of the people around the world that are shocked by this news. If I have more than 5 e-mails I would be stunned. On a side note she looked hot again on Letterman the other night.

* GWB is going to have a rough couple of years. The Democrats have spoken and arguing is going to reach an all-time high in US politics. It was also kind of fun to see Rumsfeld get out while the ship is sinking. The Titanic captain he is not. More like the guy who shot himself while trying to get people off of the ship.

* the University of Miami Hurricanes football team has really turned out to be a bunch of thugs. There was the fight with FIU. Many of their players have criminal records and sadly one of their best role models was killed for apparently no reason. Somebody needs to change the system and the only one who can do it is the coach, Larry Coker. His last name just tells me he probably isn't the guy for the job.

* I am pretty sure that unloading your gun while driving is not safe.

* I am sure Borat is funny, but it probably makes you uncomfortable too.
* it is weird that it seems like everytime a team is undefeated in football late in the season they have to play Miami and then they lose.

* Waffle House is even less appealing after this nude argument.
* thankfully it is autumn and the guy didn't have leather seats in his nude car chase.
* you were kind of excited that Nora and Carolyn were killed on Desperate Housewives. It finally made the show interesting for men.
* this story makes me once bitten, twice shy.

We're taking bets that Hottie of the Week...

Hottie Catalina Sandino Moreno who first gained fame with Maria Full of Grace will be seen in a new movie Fast Food Nation. It is an adaptation of the famous book. She will be as usually. It is surprising you don't see her in more American movies.

We're taking bets that everyone loves to fly a kite...

Hello Everyone!!! I apologize for being a day late with my questions. Sometimes weeks are busier than others and you just can't find time to blog. I hope you enjoy these questions. They are of the simple and fun variety. Ask others to reply because the more the merrier.

A. What play activity as a child such as kite flying do you wish you did more often as an adult?

B. If you could fly in a hot-air balloon over any city in the world, what city would you choose? Why?

C. What is your favorite word to say out loud? Why?

Answers:

A. I really miss playing hide and seek. Adults never seem to play this game unless it is paintball and they can shoot someone. I was really good at hiding.

B. I think I would choose Shanghai in China because it is China's largest city. It has great buildings and you would be able to see so many people just by floating over them.

C. Debacle because it means so many things and sounds real cool. :)

Open Letter to Ryan Phillippe, Chad Lowe, and any male whose partner is more successful than he,

Dear Gentleman,

There is no need for you to be upset by your partner's fame. We are in the 21st century and women have the right to be successful. So you aren't the main breadwinner of your family. Who the flock cares? Don't go getting all jealous or starting doing drugs or even worse cheat. It is then you that looks like the fool and not the wife.

Chad you had to know that the height of your success was Teen Beat in the 80's and Life Goes On in the early 90's. Even on Life Goes On you were second fiddle to an actor with a disability and Kelli Martin (who still can't act except when she was killed on ER, which I thought was pretty good.) I know you won an Emmy, but that was 17 years ago. What have you done for anyone lately. So Hillary forgot your name get over it and get off the drugs. It is never going to be better than that.

Reese won an Oscar because she is a good actor Ryan and you really aren't. There are not too many Cruel Intention roles out there for you. You have two children and you possibly could be a great character actor that gets remembered like Ron Howard's brother Clint. I really hope you did not cheat because that would make you a stupid bastard. You got two kids buddy.

Lance I know you are not married Reichen, but you have to realize that he is going to be more successful than you over time. Look at the guy. Just go with the flow and accept it. (Smile Pascha this is just for you.)

If anyone else happens to have problem with their wife's fame and fortune why don't you give them my phone number. I don't care. I will have a sugar momma and do a job I love because I can. You people are actors not scientists who cure cancer. Life cannot be that stressful. Get over yourselves and apologize to these women.

WTBT Volume 67 Series 2006...

We're taking bets that...

* just about nothing is creepier than the Alabama kid admitting to raping his own mom.
* Boston lost one of it's biggest sports legends ever with the passing of Red Auerbach.
* sometimes you just need to be serious.
* you have to love David Letterman for continuing to stick it to Bill O'Reilly.
* Republicans won't love it, but they should.
* this may be one of the shortest WTBT I have ever done.

We're taking bets that Hottie of the Week...

Hottie Nicole Scherzinger from the Pussycat Dolls is one of the hottest women on the planet. Everything about her screams gorgeous. She has an unbelievable voice and seductive smile that makes even gay men melt. She may become an all-time hottie if her fame continues to grow. With that voice and that body I don't think she can miss. Check her out in Diddy's video for Come to Me. WoW!!!

WTBT Volume 66 Series 2006...

We're taking bets that...

* shirts are sometimes optional when playing golf.
* you are surprised that New Jersey is the second state to actually recognize gay couple's rights.
* I am hoping they actually get around and pass gay marriage there as well.
* T.O. is part of the reason why Drew Bledsoe got benched.
* the fastest mouth has to be good for other things than talking.
* you are trying to figure out if I was being disgusting or not in that last statement.
* the Tigers are in trouble, but they still will win if they get back to Detroit.
* you are hoping they catch the arsonist for the California fire and have a public hanging.
* maybe you aren't hoping for a hanging, but I sure am.
* you are kind of glad that Nicole Richie is getting help to gain some weight.
* even if she gains some weight she still won't be pretty.
* the makers of South Park are geniuses, but the Croc Hunter joke was a little to early.
* the Padres are going to regret letting Bruce Bochy go.
* somedays even Captain Underpants cannot come to the rescue.

We're taking bets that Rush Limbaugh is an ass...

Hello everyone!!! Thursday is here and winter is knocking on the door in the New England area. I hope that all our readers around the world are keeping warm and having wonderful experiences. Today's questions are not political at all; I am just stating a fact with the title. I hope that you enjoy the questions and get others to answer. You can post anonymously and it is fun time to read others responses. Have fun!

A. Rush Limbaugh accused Michael J. Fox who has Parkinson's disease(since 1991) of not taking his medication or overplaying the effects of the disease in a political ad supporting a candidate who supports stem cell research. I don't care what your political views are because Rush is an asshole for even beginning to suggest that someone who has a debilitating disease with no cure is exaggerating. Who do you think is the biggest asshole celebrity today? (remember politicians are considered celebrities these days)

B. Who is the last celebrity that you would want to run into in a dark alley?

C. What has been the craziest thing over the last two weeks... Madonna's weird almost British accent on Oprah(sorry I can't find a clip yet) or Tara Reid constantly talking about her botched boob job or Britney & K-Fed misleading the American public on their new child's name? Why?

Answers:

A. To me it has to be Jerry Falwell. He says more racist, bigoted crap than anyone on the planet. He has a right to his opinion, but usually it is just ignorant.

B. I think that would be Mike Tyson. You have no idea what he is going to do from one moment to the next.

C. It has to be Madonna's fake accent. She grew up in Detroit not London. I know that she has been living in England for a while, but her interview with Oprah was ridiculous. She sounded more like the late great Crocodile Hunter than someone from England.

We're taking bets that sometimes advertising just isn't appropriate...

Open Letter to the makers of Cocaine Energy Drinks

Dear Cocaine Energy Drink makers,

I applaud you for trying to be different. Naming your product after a deadly and addicting drug is definitely different. 7-Eleven was stupid enough to stock your product and at some point was smart enough to come to their senses. This is a wicked bad idea. (Yes I used wicked, I am from New England it is our thing.) It reminds me of the old SNL skit featuring Dan Ackroyd and Bag-O-Glass. It's a bad idea to name your product Cocaine.

Hey kids get in line for newest popsicles Crack. All the energy and none of the side-effects. Maybe we could even start Atomic Bomb the Cereal with explosions in every bite or even better we could have Terrorist a new drink from the makers of Coca-Cola... It's like suicide bombing in a bottle. Oh wait that goes too far? Cocaine Energy drink goes too far as well. It is offensive and not the least bit funny.

I understand you are trying to sell a product and get your name out there, but you do have a responsibility to be decent to the public. People can complain all they want about free speech, but this is too far. You are not being decent with this product name. It's like if Madonna was trying to steal a baby from an orphanage... a member of the House of Representatives propositioning a teenager... I mean Tara Reid having normal boobs. Well maybe I can't come up with a fictional example of something that is bad, but you need to find a better name. How about Arriba Arriba and you could have Speedy Gonzalez as your spokesmouse? Maybe my few readers have some ideas.

WTBT Volume 65 Series 2006...

We're taking bets that...

* it is fun to compare good and bad ideas.

* the Seahawks are really in trouble with out Hasselbeck and Alexander.

* the Buffalo Sabres are 9-0 and most of the sport world doesn't care.
* Heroes is quickly becoming the most addicting show on television.

WTBT Volume 64 Series 2006...

We're taking bets that...

* Kenny Rogers seems to be pitching pretty well since he got his hand dirty.
* despite the fact that Ken Lay is dead does not mean his conviction means any less and shouldn't have been dismissed by the judge.
* Chicken Little should have been looking for blue toilet ice when watching for the sky to fall.
* the Falcons/Steelers game was unbelievably exciting to watch.
* if you care at all about Madonna's adoption then you should watch Oprah on Wednesday.
* the finding of more human remains at Ground Zero is a little disturbing since it has been over 5 years.
* the only thing that can top a game-winning no time on the clock 53 yard field goal is a game-winning no time on the clock 62 yard field goal.
* if you hear someone else from the White House say, "Stay the Course." when referring to Iraq you are going to punch a Republican.
* the Patriots might be boring, but they win.
* Boston is finally famous for pumpkins.

We're taking bets that Hottie of the Week...

Hottie Red Fraggle is going to be coming back. Alright Red Fraggle isn't really a hottie or a person for that matter, but this just goes to show how excited I am about the live action Fraggle Rock movie. This was a wonderful show that had 96 episodes in the mid eighties and should be enjoyed by kids today as well as adults. I am so glad there is a potential Muppet comeback because as I have said before the world needs more Muppets. :)

WTBT Volume 63 Series 2006...

We're taking bets that...

* it isn't cool or Van Damme to rip down a bathroom stall door.

* Willie Mays and Dwight Evans are #1 and #2.
* North Korea's Kim saying sorry is a little worrisome.
* the Bruins might actually turn it around after last night's come from behind win.
* this article is laugh out loud and needs no punchline.
* the best line of the entire article is the last one.
* you are happy Bobby Knight will be coaching for at least 6 more years.
* sometimes you need to be afraid of wild animals no matter how cute they look.
* the Tigers are going to win the World Series in 6 games.
* Lionel Richie might be a porn star because he can go all night long.

We're taking bets that you can tell me anything...

Hello WTBT Readers!!! I hope that you are all having a splendid week. The weather is actually kind of balmy for mid October and is about 70 degrees here in Southern New England. Halloween is right around the corner so I have a couple of related questions. I hope that you enjoy them. Remember to post your answers in the comments section and you can be anonymous if you have to. Invite others to join in as it is always more fun with more people. Talk to you all soon.

A. If you were to attend a costume party tonight, what or whom would you go as? Assume that it is a sophisticated party and superheroes or cartoon characters were out.

B. What is your favorite candy that seems to only be around during Halloween?

C. What fictional character scares you the most?

Answers:

A. I think that I would go as Teddy Roosevelt because I really think I could pull him off. I mean I did play him when I acted in college during Arsenic and Old Lace. I think he is sophisticated and a little bit adventurous.

B. I love the Reese's Halloween Peanut Butter Pumpkins. They are even better than Peanut Butter Cups and that really doesn't see possible. I pity anyone who says Candy Corn because you can only eat like 15 of them before you never want them again.

C. For me it still has to be the Wicked Witch of the West. Even just thinking about her gives me the chills.

WTBT Volume 62 Series 2006...

We're taking bets that...

* it is so hard to dress for a New England autumn.

* you are pissed if you live west of 128 and still will have to pay tolls.
* I may be a little harsh about the Arizona Cardinals, but they really need to have a winning team some day. They are one of only 6 teams that have never played in a Super Bowl and 3 of those teams are less than 12 years old.
* our society died a little bit today when the game of TAG has been banned from recess. What's next no more swings or even kickball?

* this is my first ever blog post with two boob stories.
* the Crocodile Hunter will live on in his daughter.

We're taking bets that Hottie of the Week...

Hottie Adrianne Palicki of NBC's new Friday Night Lights is smoking hot. Although she plays a teenager on TV she is actually 23 years old. She has some of the best lips since a certain Jolie came on the scene. Her character is a little slutty, but this is a wholesome girl from Toldeo, OH; the same h9metown of wholesome Katie Holmes. There is no way she does not become a hugenormus star I Just wish there were a lot more pictures of her on the internet.

We're taking bets that you don't want to live in Buffalo today...

* you are excited about two 80's comebacks for next year - Revenge of the Nerds and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

We're taking bets that fruit is good for you...

Hello WTBT Readers!!! How is everyone doing? The leaves are quickly falling off of the trees and the colder weather is slowly moving in. I hope that autumn can hold on for a while as I am not quite ready for winter to be here. Here are a few questions for you. I hope you enjoy them. Don't forget you can answer anonymously and invite others to join in the fun. Have a great weekend.

A. What is your favorite type of berry?

B. If you were going to write a novel and did have any idea of the content and you were told by the publisher that you needed to have the title first, what would the title be?

C. You have had a few drinks (or maybe a ton) and you are looking at the bar menu; what munchies do you want to eat right then and there? (Remember it is a bar menu and not a full course meal.)

Answers:

A. While this is a tough choice I cannot imagine a world without strawberries. They are so delicious and look kind of fun.

B. Turtle Poop: The story of an odd boy

C. For me it has to be loaded cheese fries. They are the best drunk munchies in the world. I think it is the extra side of grease that they come with that make them so yummy.

We're taking bets that bottles should open...

Open Letter to the Makers of Aquafina Bottles,

Dear Aquafina Bottle Makers,

For the second time in less than a week I have purchased a bottle of your delicious water and for the second time I cannot open it without the help of tools. I needed pliers, scissors and a machete to be able to drink your product.

I understand that you are one of the few bottlers of water that puts a seal on the product. I understand that more than 3 oz. of water cannot be brought on planes because of security risks. You want your product to be secure and safe; which is very admirable. What I don't understand is the fact that I can get into a bottle of aspirin, Prozac, or crack cocaine, but I cannot drink your product.

It does say on your bottle not to drink if the seal is broken, but how would I be able to even know if the seal was broken. I cannot even get the top off. I know that some of you are laughing and saying that I am a weakling, but I had numerous people (men & women) try to open the bottle. One person even suggested I poke a hole in the side and shotgun it like a beer. Now I almost cut myself opening the bottle and sure I could have returned it, but I was on a mission.

Is it possible that you make your bottle tops so that they can be opened by 6 year olds? If you are wondering why I chose 6 year olds, it is because they are now in school and should be able to open certain things on their own. I mean juice boxes can be opened by 2 year olds with a little bit of dexterity and a pointy straw. It will make our lives a lot easier. Thank you for being concerned about our safety, I am going to eat some spinach now. I hope that is safe. :)

WTBT Volume 60 Series 2006...

We're taking bets that...

* the funniest thing on TV was seeing the TV Reporter on the class getting hit with a stop sign.
* the best usage of the terms punishment and vagina was on the Daily Show last week.
* Yankees fans are starting to get used to saying, "Wait til Next Year."
* being famous for eating 247 jalepenos is kinda weird.
* if teams keep letting the Patriots get away with average play they are going to be a terror come the playoffs.
* using the word terror will probably get me called in by Homeland Security.
* it was great seeing Reggie Bush score his first game winning punt return touchdown.
* it is weird that tons of college students and hippies are moving to Arizona and joining church.
* the A's/Tigers series will go seven games and will be the best baseball since the Yankees collapsed in the playoffs in '04.
* you have to love Weird Al and all of his great parodies. Listen to this one.
* the fact that Playboy Clubs are making a comeback in Las Vegas kind of makes you happy. Who doesn't love bunnies?
* the worst thing about the Yankees not making the playoffs is Joe Torre potentially being fired.
* Lou Pinella is not the answer to the Yankees problems.
* I can't tell if this story about Scarlett Johansson is a good one or not?
* A-Rod is the biggest problem with ancient pitching as the second biggest.
* you never knew I knew so much about the Yankees.
* kids access to guns is just too easy and needs to stop.
* flashy and fertile are the two words that go great together.

We're taking bets that Hottie of the Week...

Hottie Lizzy Caplan from the funniest new show on TV so far CBS's The Class. She was also the left out girl in Mean Girls. She is a cutie on the show despite her need to play down her looks on the show. I think the show is going to become pretty popular and she will be on TV for a while.

We're taking bets that you loved Adventures in Babysitting...

Open Letter to Elisabeth Shue,

Dear Elisabeth,

Happy 43rd Birthday!!! It is hard for me to believe that you were once the hottest babysitter ever and were able to make both the Karate Kid and crazy Tom Cruise fall in love with you. Now you are part of the hot women in their 40's.

Could you please make a comeback like Teri Hatcher? I think the world needs actresses that are willing to say lines like, "Don't fuck with the babysitter!" and "You go back to your hotel and I'll go back to my glamorous life of being alone. The only thing I have to come home to is a bottle of mouthwash to get the taste of cum out of my mouth. I'm tired of being alone. That's what I'm tired of." There are not many of them left or they are in porn films.

Elisabeth, you are such a great actor and people need you again in Hollywood. I know you would probably say that you are still around and you have made quality movies, but you and I both know that isn't really true. Dreamer was a nice try, but not really a good movie and you were great in Hide and Seek until you fell out the window. I hope that someday you are able to reach the heights of superstardom like you were so close to after Cocktail.

We're taking bets that you like to find stuff...

Hello WTBT Readers!!! How are you doing on this great Autumn day? Things are going pretty well here in New England. Especially since I watched lost last night and it was excellent. The season may start a little slow, but it will pick-up quickly. Here are a few questions for you. I hope you enjoy them. Don't forget you can answer anonymously and invite others to join in the fun. Have a great weekend.

A. A new "monster" artifact was found in Norway and scientists are real excited. What is the most exciting thing you ever found?

B. What is the grossest thing you have ever found in an old pair of pants that you haven't worn in age?

C. If you could be known across the world for being the person to discover or invent something what would that something be? (It can already be found.)

Answers:

A. To me the most exciting thing I ever found was money on the ground. I know it isn't too exciting to me, but I work in College Student Affairs and we don't get paid much. :)

B. I once found a Lifesaver that had melded itself to my pocket. I don't even eat Lifesavers that often so it truly was an odd find. It also had lint on it and wouldn't have been eaten by a dog.

C. I think that I would like to be known as the person who discovered the Always Funny joke. It is my mission in life to find that and I think that someday I will be able to accomplish this.

* picking up the wrong child at daycare wasn't a big deal 20 years ago; just another one of the traumatic things kids had to deal with.
* sometimes using another person's joke works out perfectly.
* the Red Sox should re-sign Alex Gonzalez at just about any reasonable cost.
* banning books should not be coming back, but this crazy lady is trying.
* you can't beat this headline.

We're taking bets that Old School Hottie of the Week...

Everyone that knows me knows how much I think Maureen O'Hara is one of the all time hotties ever. She was in Miracle of 34th Street, Parent Trap and a ton of movies with good old John Wayne. She wasn't your typical woman in old movies as she was strong willed and could handle herself and always looked great doing it. Check her out in some of her old movies. I suggest the original Parent Trap and The Quiet Man as two of her greatest.

We're taking bets that you really wanna be cool...

Hello WTBT Readers!!! I hope that life is going well. The sun is currently shining here in Connecticut. It is question time. I hope you enjoy these questions. Please put your answers in the comments section and invite others to participate. You can be anonymous if you have to be.

A. What item of clothing or outfit do you wear and feel "cool" in?

B. What are 3 things that define a person being "cool" to you?

C. If you could live in any other state than the ones you have lived in where would it be and why?

Answers:

A. For me it is when I get dressed up in a nice dress shirt that is a fun color or has a fun pattern. I feel cool and stylish.

B. A person who is cool
1. acts like nothing ever bothers them and could handle any situation
2. They know the right thing to say and when to be funny at all times.
3. They always look comfortable with themselves and life around them.

C. I have always thought that living in Virginia(more towards the coast) would be fun to do. It is in the south, but not completely. You have some major cities and you do get the seasons. Plus you could jaunt up to DC anytime you wanted.

We're taking bets that someone needs a stern talking to...

Open Letter to the Panda Biter

Dear Mr. Panda Biter,

I needed to send you a note explaining my displeasure in your actions. I actually am surprised that you are even alive. If you had not survived I am pretty sure that I would have applauded Gu Gu for his actions.

I understand that you were enthralled by the beauty of the panda. It looks like a cuddly bear that would want to be touched, but then it does have this enormous enclosure around it attempting to prevent people from doing it. You stated that you were, "so dizzy from the beer." As someone who works with college students I have heard that excuse in many forms and a ton of crazy things have occurred with them. All of these students were between the ages of 17 and 25 and you are 35 years old. Didn't you learn at some point that the older you get the less funny drunken behavior is to others?

By the way, what the hell were you doing at a zoo drunk?!? You might want to try and find other places to be drunk like strip clubs, work, or even a child's birthday party, but not the zoo. Zoos are for school field trips, sober people and creepy guys who like to flash others (Because the "Do you wanna see my monkey" joke never gets old).

I also would like to touch upon the fact that you bit Gu Gu back after he bit you. Do you have razor sharp teeth that could kill an animal? Was that the most effective way to deal with this situation? First and foremost I probably would have ran or at the very least gone with the tickle technique as it is a little known fact that panda's are very ticklish. I mean the zookeeper was able to get her away from you with a few sprays of water. Cats hate that too just in case you feel like petting one of them and they bite you too.

Mr Panda Biter please do me one favor. The next time you are drunk please go play in traffic. Cars get along with people very well and love to be chased. When you catch them they enjoy a good petting and they will not bite. Just remember that they can be very fast and forget their own strength. I am sure you will have a great time. I also think you should talk to Roy from Sigfried and Roy fame. He might be able to give you some insight about wild animals. Have a nice day.
