We're taking bets that Ikea is a big fire hazard...

I spent a little time in Ikea New Haven this weekend.  I have decided that if you need to get out of there in a hurry you are screwed. If there was a fire you would die. No one knows how to navigate that store. I have only been in one Ikea, but I imagine everywhere is like that.  Most of the people are just there for the cheap food and to have a place for their kids to play for a couple of hours. You would think that the economy was thriving while I was there. While some of there furniture is a little cool it is way too complicated to put together correctly. They do have the best shopping carts ever though. Those Swedes are definitely an interesting bunch and I truly believe they really just want to kill us all with their store designs. Are you a fan of Ikea?

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

Salma Hayek just got married to some French guy. Granted he was her son's father, but he is just some French guy. I fell in love with her during the movie Fools Rush In with Matthew Perry. She has been awesome on 30 Rock as a guest recently. I thought I would pay some tribute to her. Remember it is very hard to find good pictures of Salma without her biggest assets.

WTBT Volume 3 Series 2009...

We're taking bets that...

* American Idol has been pretty boring this year.
* Joaquin Phoenix is getting more bizarre every public appearence he makes.
* UCONN/UNC will be the championship games in both men's and women's basketball.
* Blagojevich keeps digging himself into a bigger hole.
* A-Rod should now be nicknamed A-Fraud.
* it is nice to bond with your children, but letting your 8 year old drive seems wrong.
* Chris Brown better "Run It" from jail because he is going to be someone's bitch for what he did to Rihanna.
* I think he was pissed at her because she could not stop the music.
* this is a great story of heroism and uniting people.
* sometimes you just need to joke to make things seem better.
* LOST has been excellent and if you don't watch you are missing out on some of the best television ever.

We're taking bets that you don't like Alex Rodriguez...

So Alex Rodriguez has admitted to taking performance enhancing drugs from 2001 to 2003. I am going to add that to the list of why I can't stand him. The Sox had the Curse of the Bambino, but now the Yankees are going to have the Curse of A-Rod. He is not a good teammate and he gets paid way too much money to be a steroid taking baseball player. I don't even care if he is a Yankee. Most Yankee fans can't stand him either. His apology seemed a little hollow and I don't believe that it was only his Texas years that he doped. Below is his response to his interview with Peter Gammons. I wonder what you all think?

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

Hottie Carrie Underwood was looking awesome at the Grammy's. She is definitely the sexiest vegetarian I have ever seen. Plus she's got some great pipes.

We're taking bets that people love facebook and it is getting annoying...

So very early I made a decision that I was not going to participate in the 25 things about me Facebook stuff.  Mainly because I am not a huge sharer, but secondly because most people don't care and it usually is not interesting.  Over the last few weeks we have been innundated with "you've been tagged" and these dumb things. I must admit that I do read my close friends because I am curious what they say and want to see if I will really learn anything new.  Most of the stuff is just weird and 99% of the people put in the opening line they were never going to do this, but guess what you did.

Time magazine had a great article called "25 Things I Don't Want To Know About You".  It is kind of funny and worth a read.  Overall Facebook is great. I was a very early member and take pride that I knew about it before a gazillion others.  The only problem I have is that now that people over 30 have it they get addicted to the weird little things. Like my mother and forwards in the end of 90's and the early part of the decade. These things are never ending.  Please make them stop.

WTBT Volume 2 Series 2009...

We're taking bets that...

* if you already have six kids you don't use fertility drugs to have eight more.

* you have to congratulate Pat Summitt for winning 1,000 game with Tennessee.

* I still don't have to like her or the Lady Volunteers.

* only NYC could search for the mysteriously great smell of syrup.

* Michael Phelps deserves all of the bad press he is getting and just because he is 23 years old doesn't give him carte blanc to do something stupid.

* Jon Stewart really doesn't give Barack Obama much slack like many people thought he would.

* butterflies are beautiful, but kind of like some beautiful women I know they are conniving too.

* most people don't even realize my blog is back.

We're taking bets that this is why I am a fan of Dane Cook...

He is really funny and he does comedy for his fans. I hope his new material is not all about sex though.

WTBT Volume 1 Series 2009...

We're taking bets that...

* the Super Bowl commercials were a little better than in recent years.

* UCONN will be national champions in men's and women's basketball this year.

* The Office Super Bowl episodes had its moments, but it was a little overrated.

* Big Bang Theory is easily the funniest show on TV.

* Manny Rameriz is an idiot for not taking the Dodgers $25 million offer.

* Bikini Girl is going to be the best story for American Idol in the next week.

* it stinks when you use your education for evil.

* it is definitely refreshing to hear the President of the United States say he made a mistake.

* the best catch in the Super Bowl is still Lynn Swann's falling down and catching his own tip.

We're taking bets that you are not this good...

The pilot who landed the plane in the Hudson River, Chelsey Sullenberger, might be the most responsible person in America.  One of the books he loaned out from the library was on that plane. He asked the library for an extension to pay his fines.  Uh Dude your plane CRASHED I think we can give you a pass on this one.  The library did the right thing by waving his fines.  Get this though. The title of the book... PROFESSIONAL ETHICS! You cannot make this stuff up with a pen and paper.  Crazy.  In this crazy economy it makes feel good that there are people who do the right thing even if they don't have to.
