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

Elizabeth Mitchell who has guest starred on CSI, ER, Boston Legal and House will be a new character on LOST. She has a great smile and a look that might be enticing to Jack. Hopefully she can stir up the pot a little more on the best show on TV. (picture coming later)

We're taking bets that you are sensitive...

Hello Daily WTBT readers!!! I hope that everyone in the US is surviving the heat waves and black-outs. I have no idea if I have international readers, but I hope you are surviving the weather where you are too. :) It is Thursday's questions time. Please post your answers in the comments section. I would love to break double digits this week. I am sure it won't happen, but I can hope and dream. With that being said please ask others to answer. All the questions are relatively harmless and if you don't want to say who you are you can be anonymous. Thanks and have a great day.

A. What is the one sense that you think you would have the most trouble living without?

B. If you could choose one smell to follow you the entire day what would it be and why?

C. What is your favorite Hostess snack?

Answers:

A. Because there is a history of macular degeneration in my family and I already wear glasses I guess I think that I would have the most trouble not being able to see. I really try hard not to take my sight for granted. No one realizes when you are little how cruel "Four eyes" can be because if you have perfect sight you just don't understand.

B. I think it would be the smell of Thanksgiving turkey. That smells makes me so very happy. Although I would probably be hungry all day I think I would be satisfied with that smell.

C. I think it would be Hostess Cup Cakes. The Orange ones are my absolute favorite. I love to eat the frosting off of the top first and then get into the cake goodness.

We're taking bets that Lance Bass needs a talk...

Open Letter to Lance Bass,

I have to say that I am very impressed with your willingness to come out to the public. It is a very couragous thing to do and I hope that you do not get harassed by the close-minded idiots that there are in this world.

With that being said I truly hope you don't use this as a publicity stunt to further your career. You have the opportunity to be a help to millions of gay men around the world, much like Ellen Degeneres was to millions of women. If this is only a ploy to help you make more money it will be the worst decision since Britney Spears decided that K-Fed was a suitable match for her. I hope you are the stand-up guy that everyone says you are.

One other quick thing. Could you please try not to do any other odd things like be an astronaut? It makes you an even easier target and adds to a lot of Uranus jokes. Most gays are pretty normal people and it is always the celebrity gays who do crazy stuff that makes the news and allows the conservatives to attempt to have tangible arguments against you. Is that too much to ask?

Thanks,

Greg

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

For those of you who don't know I love Project Runway. My favorite cast member is currently Alison Kelly. No it is not just because she is hot.

We're taking bets that colors make the world go around...

Hey Everyone!!! It is time for WTBT's weekly questions. Post your answers in the comments section. It is easy and fun. This weeks questions revolve around colors. Enjoy!!!

Which color describes you most accurately? Why?

What is your favorite color?

What do you think is a more amazing sight; seeing a rainbow, strange cloud formations or seeing the sunset? Why?

Answers:

A. I think the color that best describes me is dark red. Mainly because red is the color of passion and I think that I can be very passionate about things. I also think the darker red complements my down to earth side.

B. My favorite color will always be blue. I love blue in just about any form; even powder blue on some occasions.

C. I think the most fascinating sight is a rainbow because it is so rare. The fact that you can look in the sky and see so many amazing colors is just incredible. It is something that makes me realize there is a power greater than me who created this great place.

We're taking bets that you need to think long and hard...

Question Time!!! Hey everyone! I hope my faithful readers are doing well. Coming to you from the new WTBT Headquarters in Hamden, CT. I hope you enjoy this weeks questions. They are quite thought provoking. Put your answers in the comments section and if you have to you can be anonymous.

A. Is there anything that someone could say to you that would make you want to physically hurt them?

B. Would you actually act on that physical need?

C. Who do you prefer Grover, Big Bird or Mr. Snufflepagus? Why?

Answers:

A. Absolutely!!! If someone attacked my family with words that hurt or damaged my family I would want to physically hurt them. "Sticks & Stones" is crap because sometimes things just do hurt.

B. I hope not, but it is possible. Especially if it was a very select person. You never know what might make a person snap.

C. I am a huge Grover fan although Mr. Snufflepagus comes a close second. The Monster at the End of the Book is one of the best children's books ever written and Grover is the reason why. I used to read it to my brother when he was very little and he would laugh hysterically and Grover has always made me think of that time which I hold very dear to my heart. I also think Near & Far is classic. :)

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

Naomie Harris plays Tia Dalma in the best movie of the summer Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. In the movie she is not quite the beauty that she is in this picture, but you can see what Jack Sparrow sees in her. :) She was pivotal in this movie and I think she will be even more important in the next.

Wednesday, July 05, 2006

We're taking bets that I will be back next week...

Hey everyone!!! Sorry for the hiatus. I am in the process of a move to Quinnipiac University for my new job. I won't be able to be a consistent blogger until then. Go read T's blog or Lisa's blog. I would say Ian's but it hasn't been updated since February. :)
