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

After spending a week in Orlando I have decided to name a truly deserving hottie, Minnie Mouse. She has stayed youthful all these years and has only had one man in her life. I appreciate that she keeps out of the tabloids especially since she is such a high profile celebrity. :)

We're taking bets that you can do it anywhere...

Hello WTBT readers!!! I hope that everything is going well in your neck of the woods. I am preparing to head to Orlando for 9 days. 5 days for work/conference and 4 days for fun and relaxation. It should be fun times. I will be blogging sporadically, but I will be checking in. I have a few fun questions this week regarding some current issues in my world. I hope you enjoy. Please invite others to join in and enjoy the fun!!!

A. People seem to enjoy sex in public areas. Have you ever had sex in public and if so what was the thrill?

B. What is the last thing you changed your mind about and it affected others?

C. Would you rather be challenged by a teacher to think differently or challenged by a teacher with complex problems that have answers (ex. Math, etc)?

Answers:

A. I have not had sex in public, but I have outdoors and at work. There really wasn't a threat of getting caught any of the times though. I am not sure the thrill of getting away with something is that worth it. I would obsess about getting caught.

B. I went into a judicial case thinking that I already knew the outcome and by the end of the meeting I was completely changed and was able to change my thinking for the better of the student. That is why you need to go into it conduct meetings with an open mind and hear the student before deciding.

C. I love to be challenged to think differently. I feel if I am taught how to do something I will be able to do that one thing again, but if I am taught to think differently I can do many things from a better place.

CONGRATS TO FAITHFUL READERS & COMMENTERS TERI & LIZ on their arrival of their baby girl Courtney. Teri made the announcement on his blog earlier this morning. It was a little early, but everyone is healthy and that is what is important. Baby pool be damned. :)

We're taking bets that fabulous is in the eye of the beholder...

Hello WTBT readers!!! I am sorry that I was MIA the last couple of days, but I have been very busy and the blog had to suffer. Hopefully I am back with a new sense of fun and you are all able to enjoy the questions that I put forth. Have a great time and as always invite others to answer!!!

A. What is one vacation destination that many people think is fabulous, but which you personally have no desire to ever visit (or revisit)?

B. What is one fabulous 80's fashion that you wish would come back?

C. What is the most fabulous thing that you currently own?

Answers:

A. I have absolutely no desire to go to Paris. I am sure that one day I will and I know it is one of the most romantic cities in the world, but something about it makes me not want to go there. I don't know if it is just France in general or Paris.

B. I truly enjoyed the cut sweatshirt look/off shoulder shirts from Flashdance. Women who can pull it off should go for that look.

C. The most fabulous thing that I own is TiVo because I love TV and I don't have to be around to tape any shows I want to watch. I can watch an episode while I am eating breakfast or at 4 in the morning. It is great because I don't have to be home when something is on to make sure I watch it. Like LOST last night which was super wicked awesome. Oh yeah.

We're taking bets that everyone needs help...

Hello WTBT readers!!! Spring is less than a week away and I hope that everyone is excited. It almost reached 70 degrees here in New England. Of course they are talking about potential snow this weekend, but that is what you have to love about the Northeast. I have some interesting questions about assisting you in life. I hope that everyone enjoys and invites others to participate.

A. If you could have someone do one thing/chore for you daily that would ease your life what would it be?

B. If you could pick any animated/cartoon character to be your personal assistant, who would you pick and why?

C. If you had to pick one job as a fast food employee what would it be and why?

Answers:

A. I would definitely have someone cook dinner for me every night. That way I wouldn't be able to make some of the bad choices that I usually do and everything would probably be healthy.

B. I would choose Droopy Dog. Mainly because he makes me laugh and when he finally gets mad he can take care of any problem. I love his voice too. "You know what... That makes me mad." Hysterical.

C. I would be the Fry Guy. I think it is an art to making the perfect fries and adding the right amount of salt along with cooking them just the right time. I don't trust the beeping take me out now sound that the fryalator makes.

We're taking bets that in 2007 we need some open-mindedness...

Open Letter to all who feel being gay is immoral

Dear General Pace, Tim Hardaway, most clergy, and others who struggle with gays in the world,
I am proud to be a heterosexual male. There is nothing wrong with that. At the same time if I was a homosexual male I would have every right to be proud of that fact too. It is who I am and not a lifestyle choice. You didn't choose to be heterosexual and neither did they choose to be homosexual. You are warranted your opinion, but I truly believe that you do not under stand the facts.

The homosexual community is here to stay. They have always been here to stay. Whether you agree with it or not this is a fact. I think that you now need to deal with that fact instead of pushing your values on them. When has someone ever pushed the homosexual agenda on the hetrosexuals? Marriage? Do you hear the gay community complaining that most straight marriages end in divorce so we should take it away from them? Equal Rights? Well women and the black community are still working to achieve that. Are they immoral for wanting equal rights? Just because they seem different than you doesn't make them wrong or not deserving of everything you take for granted.

Immoral means "contrary to established moral principles." The only thing that has been has been established in the United States is we are the melting pot and are accepting of everyone. Front page news today is Britney Spears in rehab and Anna Nicole Smith's death. The fact that we are obsessed with that is morally wrong as a society, but it is accepted by today's standards. I am not telling anyone that they have to orgies with men and women to be accepting. I am just saying that you need to be open-minded.

The gay community is just as loving and caring as the straight community. They have the right to everything that straight people do. If marriage was sacred then over 50% of them wouldn't end in divorce. If children where only raised well by straight people then over 50% of our children wouldn't be medicated. Please try and look at the big picture. Dick Cheney doesn't say a word about the gay community because someone in his life is gay and has had a positive effect on him. Is that what it's going to take? I truly hope not. Maybe just a little open-mindedness from our leaders. Heck if we could get that maybe we wouldn't be in this war, but that is a topic for another time.

WTBT Volume 21 Series 2007...

We're taking bets that...

We're taking bets that you want to be a Hero...

Open Letter to the writers of Heroes,

Dear Heroes Writers,

You have me hooked. I cannot let Monday go by without watching your wonderful television goodness. You have almost made me switch my allegiances with TiVoing 24, but I have not switched yet and you are relegated to the VCR.

Thank you for making an intriguing story with plausible mysteries and exciting backgrounds. I know that people with special powers isn't the most plausible thing, but if Buddhist's can float in Tibet anything is possible. I appreciate that you continue to give answers at a rapid pace while asking just as many questions.

I have a favor to ask of you. Could you please not try to be too confusing? I love LOST and think that it has made a wonderful comeback, but it tried too hard in Season 2. Keep some of the stuff simple. I understand that Peter Petrelli is our Superman. Just don't over do it with him. We don't need Clark Kent disguises. We will watch your show for years if you continue to keep it simple. Make the villians complicated and allow the heroes to deal with their struggles with daily life. Thank you for making this TV season along with Friday Night Lights as enjoyable as ever.

We're taking bets that sometimes you get scared...

Hello WTBT readers. Sorry question time is running a little bit late. I hope that everyone is staying warm and if you are from upstate NY you are not too snowed in. Enjoy today's questions and invite others to answer. As always the more the merrier!!!

A. What movie monster/villain scares you the most?

B. What is the one real life thing that scares you the most?

C. Have you ever scared someone on purpose that you almost peeped yourself laughing at their reaction?

Answers:

A. I would have to say that the Wicked Witch of the West. She creeps me out on a level that I don't even understand. So mean and scary.

B. Going backwards really fast. Basically that means that if I am on a roller coaster it can only go forward. Backward just is so unnatural and you cannot see where you are going. Plus it makes my tummy feel funny. :)

C. Absolutely!!! Usually it was my sister when we were kids as I was the mean older brother. Though I think my favorite was when I scared one of my RAs at my first job because he thought no one was in the building and surprise I was there. Hysterical. I actually think he peed a little. I know that's gross, but really funny.

We're taking bets that it is time to get LOST...

Finally the break is over. LOST is back on TV tonight with a recap episode and then the real thing at 10 pm ET. I for one cannot wait. There are so many questions that they promise to answer this season and for 16 weeks I will be glued to my TV or at the very least make sure it is TiVo'd. There are five questions that I have that must be answered in order for me to stay a fan:

1. How was Locke paralyzed? - They have teased us with this many times, but we have never found out and it is starting to piss me off. I have heard this is the time that we will find out and I hope that it delivers.

2. What the freak is wrong with Desmond? - Desmond was always a little bit weird. Even when we first met him running with Jack he was bizarre, but now he has crossed the line. Is he psychic or did he travel forward in time? What is going on our little English buddy?

3. When will we find out the fate of Walt & Michael? I know that you cannot really use the word fate when it comes to LOST, but they went sailing away and Styx wasn't with them. So where have they been and will they come back to the island? Wouldn't it be fun to find them with a posse of rescuers?

4. Why does the monster kill some and not others? Really the monster never should have killed Eko. He was a BA and BAs just don't die like that. Ask Chuck Norris. We really need the monster to be better explained because I think that it is controlled by something or someone.

5. How does Libby seem tied to everyone? Am I the only one who wonders about her? She seems like she is very pivotal to the entire story. Desmond and Hurley have definite connections, but it seems like there is more. Is she Desmond's ex-girlfriend's sister? That is what I think or she is from Dharma. Yep remember them? There is something fishy with her and I want to know what.

BONUS: What is up with the foot? - Giant, 4 toed foot. What the hell is that all about? I understand that LOST is about mysteries. Look at the title, but who spills that little nugget and then forgets about it? I love LOST but I hope you can give me a little satsifaction with these answers because I am ready for more questions if I have those answers.

WTBT Volume 9 Series 2007...

We're taking bets that...

* you can't believe that Apple and the Beatles have finally come up with a solution for the use of the name Apple.

* it's great Red Auerbach isn't alive to see these Celtics.

* lack of oxygen will be used as a defense in that case.
* ex-Rev. Haggard is convinced he is completely heterosexual now, except when it comes to being around really hot guys.
* much like smoking if you only do it once in a while you are still a gay or at the very least bi-sexual.
* intensive counseling doesn't make how you are born go away.
* I am probably alienating some people from the blue states.
* there is nothing truly exciting going on in sports right now.

B. If you were going to go on a trip to anywhere in the world, but you had to leave on Friday at 4pm and be on a plane back by Sunday at 8 pm where would you go and why?

C. What song reminds you of the weekend?

Answers:

A. For me it has to be Friday because work is usually over an there is so much to look forward to over the next two days off.

B. I would go to Miami Beach. There is always something to do there. Whether it is go to the beach or go clubbing or just have a relaxing time Miami Beach is awesome.

C. Just Got Paid by N SYNC. "Just got paid, Friday nightParty hoppin', feelin rightBooties shakin', all aroundPump that jam, while I'm gettin' down" Really can you beat that?

We're taking bets that bullies SUCK...

Open Letter to Bullies

Dear Bullies,

I hate that I need to write in a none funny manner on this blog because bullying still exists. It floors me how much it exists on the college aged students. I am appalled that it happens at my college. It needs to stop.

Everyone has seen the tragic videos of people beating up another human being for no reason other than someone else is taping it. Everyone has witnessed someone picking on another person who is different. At some point you may have been in either role. It is time for us to stand up around the country and stop these bullies. Tell YouTube, Digg and any other put up your own video website to not allow videos of people beating up other people. It has to stop. Life is way too difficult for all of us to have to deal with the fact that a bully's mother didn't hug them and they are going to take it out on us.

Please stop because our differences are what make us special. They should bring us together and not tear us apart. SAVE A LIFE - STOP A BULLY!!!

Happy New Year everyone!!! Sorry for the delay in posts. I will be coming fast and furious with posts over the next few days so don't you worry. Today is my last list for the best of 2006: Movies. I have seen 51 of the 349 movies released in 2006. I unfortunately missed a couple of good ones like The Queen, The Pursuit of Happyness and Pan's Labyrinth (which techinically is released on January 17th.). Here is my list of the top movies of 2006 as seen by me. :)

Honorable Mention: Friends with Money, Inconvenient Truth, World Trade Center, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, and Akeela and the Bee

10. United 93 - Very moving and well done for the first 9/11 movie.
9. Hoodwinked - I got more enjoyment out of this movie than I ever thought possible. It should be a must see for kids and adults alike.
8. The Departed - It took me a while to see this movie and I was greeted with great acting and a ton of violence. I wonder if this is Scorsese's year?
7. Wordplay - Surprise I like a movie about crossword puzzles.
6. Deja Vu - An enjoyable movie, with Denzel showing us why he is one of the greatest actors around..
5. Stranger than Fiction - Will Ferrell continues to surprise as an actor. A great story with a real uplifting ending.
4. V for Vendetta - A great look at a future society that sadly mirrors our own at times.
3. Inside Man - Denzel doing it again with Clive Owen showing us how cool robbers can be.
2. Lucky Number Slevin - Nothing like a Kansas City shuffle.
1. Little Miss Sunshine - A wonderful movie that might not be nominated for any Oscars, but truly made me smile from beginning to end.

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...

* New England is boring in the winter without any snow.

* doesn't make it right, but true none the less.
* AI will be the answer to the Denver Nuggets woes.
* the inflatable Frosty, Santa's, snowglobes, etc. are annoying, but not enough to stab them with a screwdriver.
* sometimes reporters have too much fun writing their stories.
* Bode Miller is on a Super G mission.
* 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.

WTBT Volume 79 Series 2006...

We're taking bets 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 everyone loves a little bit of music...

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.

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!

We're taking bets that...

* sometimes Marijuana Mondays are just no fun.
* you better watch your step in Brooklyn because you might be swallowed.
* baseball's winter meetings have been pretty dull thus far.

* 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.
* it makes you a little sad that George Clooney's pet pig Max died at 18.
* you are wondering how we know a pig died peacefully.

WTBT Volume 76 Series 2006...

We're taking bets that...

* 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.
