We're taking bets that a tire cannot defeat me...

Hello WTBT readers!!! I hope that you have had a wonderful week and are looking forward to the long weekend. Of course I have to work this weekend so it will be extra special for me. I hope you enjoy today's questions. They are of the fun variety as opposed to the controversial. Post your answers in the comments section and invite others to answer. Remember you can be anonymous if you would like to and no one will know. :) Have a great weekend.

A. If you had no fear of anything, what 10 things would you do?

B. If you were the eighth dwarf, what would your name be?

C. What is the correct order in which to wash your body when youĂ‚’re taking a shower?

Answers:

A. Some of these things I do hope to do regardless of my fears.
1. Bungee Jump
2. Cliff Dive
3. Ride the Scariest Roller Coaster I could find.
4. Watch The Wizard of Oz
5. Eat Rocky Mountain Oysters (Gotta try it once)
6. Race NASCAR
7. Luge
8. Confront an ex on her craziness
9. Sky Dive
10. Watch Scary movies.

B. I think I would be named Huggable. I know that sounds cheesy (IAN), but many people say they see me as a big teddy bear and just want to hug me. So that would be my dwarf name.

C. You start with the package and then move on to the legs and feet. From there you go to the torso and arms. You then try to wash your back the best way you know how and go to your face. Finally you top it off with your hair with potentially a rinse and repeat. :)

* it is always scary seeing a pitcher take a line drive off the head.
* knowing how to make the perfect BLT can make all the difference.
* the VMAs are always fun TV.

* T.O. will throw a punch at someone before his career is over.

* Football season is less than a week away and you are excited. :)

We're taking bets that Ernie is not your friend...

Open Letter to Tropical Storm Ernesto,

Dear Ernesto,

Do you mind if I call you Ernie? As you know the Caribbean and the United States have been devastated with Hurricanes over the last year and you are the first one to truly make a problem this year. Now I don't know about you, but I don't think a Muppet should be causing trouble. I know that you are trying to sound tough with the name Ernesto but it isn't working. Everyone knows that you would rather go out to sea and play with your rubber ducky than cause trouble.

I ask you Ernie do you want to really make the rest of the Muppets mad? We could send Chef after you or even call on Waldorf and Stadler to make fun of you until you are reduced to a Tropical Depression. Go find Bert and have a grand old time shaking his freaky arms. Stay away from Florida and the rest of the Eastern Seaboard. Do me a favor; please ask Kirk to stay the hell away too because Captain Kirk definitely is scary enough to cause trouble.

Sincerely,

WTBT Staff

* the Pats looked pretty impressive in their win over the Redskins this weekend.
* the Emmy The Office won makes me feel real good for all the razzing I took for liking the show.
* Maria Sharpova will win the US Open and Andre Agassi will at least make a run to the quarterfinals.
* I couldn't go one WTBT post without a animal story or a link.

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

Hottie Sheryl Crow rocked the house in Hartford last night. Unfortunately John Mayer had to cancel due to laryngitis, but Sheryl made it worth it. She performed two hours when she was only going to play for 45 minutes. Sheryl was unbelievable and really got the crowd pumped. She has had a rough year with early stage breast cancer and her break-up with Lance. I personally think he is an idiot, but what do I know. I now cannot wait until she releases more new music.

WTBT Volume 46 Series 2006

We're taking bets that...

* Tiger is only 4 strokes back and the rest of the field is scared.
* you are kind of jealous of this cop.
* Invincible will be one of the most worthwhile movies of the season.
* the chief must have done something wrong.
* with more planets it is going to be harder for kicks to learn them without the "My Very Excellent..." device.

We're taking bets that smelly cat, smelly cat what are they feeding you...

Hey faithful readers!!! It is question Thursday. I hope this post finds everyone doing well. Quinnipiac University is wicked crazy with opening, but life here is great. (Yes I said wicked) If you can find time in your crazy days please answer the great questions below. Remember you can be anonymous and invite friends. :) Have a great day!!

A. Would you rather go a week without bathing, but be able to change your clothes, or a week without a change of clothes, but be able to bathe?

B. If you could be any age again for one week, what age would you be?

C. If you were in a horror movie, would you be one of the unwitting victims, or one of the people who survives?

Answers:

A. I would rather change my clothes because at least I think the clothes hold in the stink a little more and would give some fun freshness each day. Plus I could brush my teeth so I would do that a lot and breath on people to hide my stink.

B. I would be 23 because I think that is the best age. You don't know full responsibility yet and you can still date a teenager. Just kidding.

C. I would be a Survivor (Insert Destiny Child song here). I am smart enough to run and hide. I would be the guy everyone thought was dead, but I really was hidden under something.

* it is sad when you lose your Willy.
* the Blue Jays John Gibbons will be fired for beating up a player.
* sometimes there is such a thing as too much chocolate.

We're taking bets that losers sometimes come in pairs...

Open Letters to Red Sox and Yankee Fans,

The Yankees destroyed the Red Sox this weekend in what may be the final nail in the Red Sox coffin. You could see it coming as the Red Sox were just too young. Yankee fans should very proud of their year and the fact that they have really overcome adversity.

With that being said neither teams will win the World Series. Never mind the American League pennant. The Tigers, White Sox, Twins, and A's are all better than both of you. It is a fact that no matter how hard you look at it you cannot really dispute. Be happy Yankee fans as you won another AL East, but it will be another year without a World Series and I think it is about time for the 1999 chants to start. As for the Red Sox fans relax, you have at least another 2 years before you can really complain.

Sunday, August 20, 2006

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

Hottie Maggie Lawson who is on the fun show Psych has been around for a while without much fanfare. She has been acting for ten years and has been on Party of Five, Smallville and numerous other shows. Hopefully USA will keep Psych on the air for a while and Maggie will get her much deserved due.

We're taking bets you would like to be a sleuth...

Sorry question time is late. The workers at WTBT has been fully extended and are trying to make sure the readers are happy. :) I hope that everyone is doing well and they are enjoying this wonderful summer that we have had. Enjoy answering the questions in the comments section. I think they are pretty interesting. Have fun!!!

A. With the JonBenet case potentially solved what mystery or case would you like to also see solved?

B. You've been given 3 parachutes, but there are 6 people who need them. Who will you not give one to: Alex P. Keaton, Marty McFly, Deputy Mayor Mike Flaherty, Brentley Foster/Carlton Whitfield, Doctor Ben Stone, or Scott Howard? Of course, all 6 of them are up really super duper high in the air, and the parachute is truly the only way to save them. (Question modified, but borrowed from IndigoBlueGreen)

C. How many pillows do you like to sleep with at night? What is your favorite side of the bed?

Answers:

A. I would love to see the Nicole Brown Simpson Case solved. I am a firm believer that O.J. was involved, but didn't act alone and may not have been the actual killer. It is such an important turning point in how we view our celebrities and made cable news so popular. I think we should be able to find out the truth.

B. Alex P. Keaton would easily be first, no questions asked. I then would choose Mike Flaherty as I really enjoyed him in Spin City and it always makes me sad that Parkinson's was a main reason why he left the show. Lastly I would choose Marty McFly. He played a mean guitar and was a slacker. You can't beat that combination. It is tough leaving off Teen Wolf and Doc Hollywood, but easy to leave off the Secret of My Success.

C. I have 4 pillows with me when I sleep although I usually only use two. I am a huge fan of the left side of the bed, but I am adaptable. Lots of times I also enjoy the middle. :)

Friday, August 18, 2006

We're taking bets that there is not enough time in the day...

Due to circumstances beyond our control WTBT will be delayed until Saturday night. It will be a question day and hopefully you will come visit. Enjoy the rest of your Friday!!!

We're taking bets that I cannot believe I am in my third year...

It is officially the first day of my third year of this blog. I cannot believe that it has been that long and I am still going. Hopefully you all are enjoying it. I definitely still am enjoying this, so it will keep happening. As always I love feedback so leave me some suggestions. I have gotten away from the contests, but I could always bring them back. I will be keeping my "Passion of the Week", but if you can come up with a better name I will try that. Only a couple more blogs until 600. Smile everyone and thank you for reading!!!

Sunday, August 13, 2006

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

Emmanuelle Chriqui has never been in a huge movie and this has stopped her from being a huge star, but she has been in some great movies. She was the object of Lance Bass' affection in On the Line, which was on coincidentally right after he came out. She also was in Snow Day and has been on Entourage this season. She looks 20, but actually is 29. I think she deserves some love from the world. Good luck Emmanuelle I hope you become a superstar.

Friday, August 11, 2006

WTBT Volume 41 Series 2006

We're taking bets that...

* it will be a long September for Sox fans of both colors.
* this story makes you wonder if he was trying to cheaply preserve her for cryogenics.

* arguments can be fun and help you reach better decisions.
* no one can truly be sure about teens having sex because according to most of them they lost their virginity at 12.
* most NBA basketball players couldn't beat Diana Taursi one on one.
* killer squirrels are cool.
* you have to love that pepper spray cannot defeat killer squirrels.

* some people have way too much time on their hands.
* Tom and Katie waited too long to release Suri pictures and now noone cares as opposed to before when 10 people were interested.

* this is the dumbest prank ever.

We're taking bets that you love one hit wonders...

Hello WTBT readers!!! I hope that you week is going fabulously. I am gearing up for the start of another academic year. The excitement is almost overwhelming. Here are a few simple questions for everyone to enjoy. Have a great time and remember to invite friends to answer. Just leave your remarks in the comments section.

A. Who is your favorite one-hit wonder singer/group?

B. What celebrity "because of crazy things that happened" do you secretly like? (ex. Judge Lance Ito from the Simpson trial or John Bobbitt from the case of the missing penis)

C. What is the one place in the world besides a family member's home that you would not want to be banned for life from?

Answers:

A. For me it has to be The Sugar Hill Gang. Rapper's Delight is a classic on so many levels and they never had another hit. I think it is the one rap song that even people who hate rap kinda like.

B. I truly think that Monica Lewinsky is the best fake-celebrity. She got some spooge on her dress and became famous. Everytime I think about it I laugh and that has to count for something.

C. For me it would be devestating to be told I could never go into Fenway Park again. I still remember the day I first went in and will never forget that moment. Although I would like to see them build a new one with more comfortable seats I would want the old one to be a memorial of all the players that played there in the years past.

Vera Farmiga has been busy in 2006. She was in the underrated Running Scared with Paul Walker in the winter and now will be in two movies this fall. The most anticipated of her movies will be The Departed with director Martin Scorsese, Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio. She seems like she is on the verge of a major break-out as she has 3 movies in 2007 too.

Friday, August 04, 2006

WTBT Volume 37 Series 2006

Thursday, August 03, 2006

We're taking bets that you're so vain...

Hey Everyone!!! I hope all of my friends from the Northeast survived the heat wave. Relief is in sight. It is question time again and I hope you enjoy these questions. Post your answers in the comments section and be creative. Last week I tried to get 10 people to answer the questions and I only got 3, so hopefully I can get 5 people this week. Maybe even Ian will respond.

A. Would you be willing to reduce your life expectancy by 5 years to become extremely attractive?

B. What is the one feature you would change about yourself if you could? Just like Ashlee Simpson's nose.

C. If you could choose one celebrity from the 20's to 60's to be a star today who would you choose and why?

Answers:

A. I definitely would do it. What is 5 years? Although I am afraid to die and what if I had less than 5 years left to live. Would that mean I would die instantly? Anyway I would risk it, because you can always improve.

B. For me I think it would be to have some sort of a butt. Many times I think that it is practically inverted, so I think that would be an improvement. Nothing too spectacular but something.

C. For me it would be Maureen O'Hara from the original Parent Trap, Miracle on 34th Street and a bunch of movies with John Wayne. She was the perfect woman to me. Spunky, gorgeous, Irish, and she had great hair. I think she would be a goddess compared to today's actresses.
