We're taking bets that it would be exciting if some imaginary things came alive...

Hello WTBT readers!!! I hope that everyone is doing well and enjoying my new layout. I am getting rid of the poll because it mucks up the site. Any suggestions you have to make it better let me know. Everyone should be enjoying fall by now. Sleeping Giant is gorgeous right now with all of the leaves changing. It is quite a sight to see. Here are a few fun questions for everyone I hope you all have a good time answering.

A. If you could suddenly find out that one work of fiction was actually true, what book would you select?

B. What childhood character (ex. Big Bird) do you wish was real and could talk even today?

C. Who is your favorite wise cartoon character (Jiminy Cricket, Owl from Pooh, Papa Smurf, Kermit the Frog) and why?

Answers:

A. I would hope that Field of Dreams(yes it was a book first) was true and there really was ghosts playing baseball in Iowa. I would pay to see them play and re-live some childhood memories.

B. I think it would be awesome if Grover was real. He is always around for a laugh and his innocence is precious. Plus he could do Near-Far when ever I needed a pick me up.

C. I think my favorite wise character would be Jiminy Cricket. He was a great moral compass and has very high standards. Plus he is a great singer.

We're taking bets that you have a choice in your own decisions...

Here are a few observations(I am on my soapbox a bit) that I have had the last few days...

* The Boston Red Sox are playing some of the most uninspired baseball I have ever seen the last two days. Of course Saturday night was a big letdown, but the fun team is now gone. Hopefully they can pick it up tomorrow or it is going to be a Cleveland/Colorado series. Which will probably be a lot of fun, but disappointing for me.

* One of my tasks in my job is as a conduct officer. It amazes me the amount of excuses students who have been caught doing bad things have. Most of the time it was not their fault. When do people realize that they have a choice in their actions? Does it come during college when I am trying to get through to them? Does it come when they have to pay for things on their own with out Mom or Dad's help? Responsibility is a hard thing for people to grasp, but I think that we need to do a stronger job with our children in teaching how to take responsibility for their decisions.

* Curse words are at the very least fun to say. That is why we use them so often. My friend Niamh forwarded me this article. You have to admit the article makes a lot of great points. What I wonder is how language has gotten so crude overall. I think that our acceptance of curse words in society has allowed people to include hate words as not that big a deal either. my favorite line in the whole article is on page three: "Language has often been called a weapon, and people should be mindful about where to aim it and when to fire." I don't think that there is a much more true statement than that. If we were more mindful about our language we probably would have a lot less people hurt by our words.

WTBT Volume 81 Series 2007...

We're taking bets that...

* if you don't hit you cannot win in baseball.
* this prinicipal knows how to make Halloween fun for his kids.

* Heroes is getting pretty cool especially with Sylar being a creepy bad ass again.

* Dice-K will be a better pitcher in Boston next year just like Josh Beckett was this year.
* it is weird not seeing Bob Barker on the Price is Right anymore.
* there are not too many things cuter than mini-pigs.

WTBT Volume 80 Series 2007...

We're taking bets that...



* Foo Fighters are probably the best band of the last fifteen years.
* Jon Bon Jovi was not funny at all on SNL this week.
* some people have absolutely no patience when it comes to kids being kids.
* the neighbor should be happy it wasn't a drawing of a giant penis.

* Friday Night Lights is still the best show on television that you are not watching.
* it is crazy when Twister and a substance free Dance Party are causing roommate issues.

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

Hottie Christina Applegate has a new show starting this week. She is truly an underrated actress and hottie. She has been in one of the funniest TV shows (Married with Children), funniest teen movies(Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead) and funniest comedies (Anchorman). She really needs a vehicle to be a superstar. I am not sure Samantha Who? is the vehicle, but you should really check her out.

We're taking bets that Dane had it coming...

This is absolutely hysterical. SNL may have not been that funny this week, but this little sketch was.

We're taking bets that you need to be entertained...

Below are a few things to do, see, read or listen to over the next few weeks. I hope you enjoy my recommendations and find yourself entertained.

Go See:

We Own the Night opens today. Mark Wahlberg is becoming one of the best actors of our time. He keeps making great movies and this drama looks like a winner. Joaquin Phoenix does creep me out a little bit, but Eva Mendes really will make up for that. It is about the NYPD in the 80's and it will be a great thriller for the fall.

Gone Baby Gone on October 19th. It is based on a book by Dennis Lehane (Mystic River). It stars Ed Harris, Morgan Freeman and Casey Affleck and was directed by Ben Affleck. Although that might turn you off, but the story is so good I think it will be better than Mystic River. Check it out.

Watch:

The Major League Baseball Championship Series started last night with a bang. There are four tough teams out there and even if you don't know anyone on the Rockies or Diamondbacks you will after this series. Although the Red Sox/Indians is the marquee match-up I think both teams will struggle with the NL team in the World Series. Every night for the next week there will be games on. Don't miss out.

The Office on Thursday nights. It continues to be one of the most fun shows on TV. Last night was hilarious with the Launch Party of the new website. Dwight is pining over Angela and he looks awful. Pam & Jim have been a great couple. What a great show.

Pushing Daisies is on Wednesday nights at 8 pm on ABC. It is different than every other show on TV. It is sweet with a little bit of comedy and drama thrown in.

Read:

Spy by Ted Bell. He has written four books and I feel like each book is more exciting than the next. Follow the adventures of Alexander Hawke and his abilities to stop global terrorism.

Echo Park by Michael Connolly. An excellent writer who has crafted a complex detective in Harry Bosch. Working the Open/Unsolved crime unit has given Harry many exciting cases and you never know which way the book is going to turn until the end.

We're taking bets that some old things need an update...

Hello WTBT readers!!! I hope that you like my new site update. I figured after 3 years I should change it. I did a color change in year 2 from Rose to Green and now a different look. Hopefully I will like it. At the very least it streamlines my archives. I have a some questions for everyone. I hope that you like them and are insightful. Get others to answer and have a good time. Talk to you all soon.

A. What invention that has been around since at least the mid twentieth century needs and upgrade?

B. If you could be great at poetry, painting, or scultping which would you choose and why?

C. What do feel would make Halloween even a more fun holiday?

Answers:

A. I think that vending machines need to be updated. Those spinning holders always get Doritos stuck and they are impossible to get out without practically breaking the machine. You would think in the 21st century we could find a better way to distribute chips and other snacks.

B. I would love to be great at painting. mainly because I like to look at paintings and people could hang my works in their houses or offices. I think that is the biggest compliment you can give to an artist is displaying their works.

C. It would have to be calorie/fat/sugar free great tasting candy. If for Halloween only candy was not harmful for you or kids it would be awesome. You could gorge yourself on Snickers and Reese's Pieces with no worry about regretting it. That would be fantastic.

We're taking bets sometimes you just don't know what is coming...

Here are a few observations that I have...

* Halloween is probably the coolest time of year for decorations. People really try hard to be scary or at the very least spooky. While Christmas has the most festive decorations Halloween has the most fun. I mean even a bowl of peeled grapes can be a decoration. By not cleaning your house of cobwebs you could be decorating for Halloween. What other holiday makes decorating so much fun.

* Trusting someone is always a very hard thing to do. Losing someone's trust is pretty awful. Someone I care for told me that they cannot trust me anymore. It was a shock and a huge disappointment for me. While I am not totally sure that I deserve it, that is how the person feels and it makes me re-evaluate how I do things. Always remember that getting back lost trust is one of the hardest things in the world that you can do and you just have to hope you get that chance.

* Vodka is absolutely amazing. It saved a man's life this week in Australia after the doctor's ran out of medicinal alcohol. There are not too many things in this world that causes many people to go to the hospital, but also can save your life. I think that this should be Absolut's new bottle campaign. Absolut Life Saver. I could be a marketing genius.

WTBT Volume 79 Series 2007...

We're taking bets that...



* sometimes you need to take the top off of the idea jar to be successful.
* A-Rod is probably going to look good in LA next year.
* Chuck is growing on me more and more each week.
* you have to love that animals can get along, but many times humans cannot.
* Tony Romo got really lucky his team kept him in the game last night.
* you don't have change for a million.
* you are wondering what the guy was going to do if he got ahold of the scanner gun.
* the Red Sox/Indians series will go seven games.
* it is great getting a phone call from a friend across the country.

WTBT Volume 78 Series 2007...

We're taking bets that...

* Friday Night Lights started its second season right where it left off with unbelievably compelling drama.
* Manny is being a lot more than Manny.
* this orangutan is just like every other guy who likes someone that reminds him of Mom.
* Brett Favre just didn't have any more magic last night against the Bears.
* the real crime would have been if he stole a Boston Creme.
* you can't understand why someone would stop a guy who just stole and touched one doughnut.
* the Yankees luck will end tonight.
* if being in rut allowed human males to be aggressive I would stay away from most college men.
* the Steelers are going to be a team the Pats have to contend with come playoff time.
* this result was a little shitty for the thieves.
* is probably what they called the car.
* USC just got exposed as an overrated football team.
* you cannot believe that The Game Plan was a box office champ for the second week in a row.
* Gone Baby Gone will be one of the best movies of the year.

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

Since the Red Sox have swept the Angels and are waiting for the Indians I thought I would give props to the guy that started the playoffs off with a bang. Hottie Josh Beckett. Everyone of my female Red Sox fans say he is the hottest. So enjoy ladies as I am a big fan too. :)

WTBT Volume 77 Series 2007...

We're taking bets that...

* the Phillies are in a lot of trouble.
* when a moose needs counseling the world has problems.
* calling Izzie and George's Grey's Anatomy relationship Gizzie is pretty weird.
* The Office is hysterical cutting edge television.
* the Yankees are going to need a lot better pitching if they are going to beat Cleveland.
* beer muscles only get you so far and getting Tasered usually puts a stop to that.
* he actually thought he could beat all of the cops up is funny.
* it is odd that Marion Jones is finally coming clean with her steroid use.
* if you are bored on Saturday you should watch the great college football games on TV.
* sometimes it just takes a Calvin & Hobbes cartoon to put you in a good mood.

We're taking bets that you like beets...

Hello WTBT readers!!! I hope you are having a great week. I am a little tired, but moving along. My parent anniversary is this weekend. They have been married a long time. I wish them many more. Here are a few questions for everyone. I hope you enjoy.



A. What is your favorite vegetable?



B. How many times did it take you to get your license?



C. What comic strip do you think has gone on too long and should be retired?



Answers:

A. My favorite vegetable is the carrot. I love it both cooked and raw. I like that it tastes great with a little bit of honey too.

B. It only took me one time. Though I thought I went too fast in the school zone, but I parallel parked like a champ.

C. I think that Marmaduke has long since been forgotten. Who ever thinks that they need Marmaduke's craziness in their life?

We're taking bets that it is sad when The Game Plan is the number one movie in America...

Here are a few observations that I have...

* It doesn't seem quite right. The Rock has a new movie out and it is the number one movie in America. It is not a action movie, but rather a family comedy. Maybe it is inevitable; Arnold made Kindergarden Cop and Stallone made Stop or My Mom will Shoot. Hopefully he will return to action movies and we will actually have an action hero again. Besides Bruce Willis in Die Hard and Harrison Ford in Indiana Jones what do we have left for action stars? We need someone to emerge and lead us out of the technology crap that we get. Thankfully Ben Stiller will probably take over this weekend, but the next thing you know the Rock will be in a tutu dancing around like the Hulk did. Ugh. Go watch a true story that will at least uplift your heart next weekend. The Last Season.

* The MLB playoffs start tonight and it will be exciting!!! October may be the best month in sports as just about every major sport is playing. The NFL and College football are in the heart of their seasons. It is time to just sit back and enjoy a little bit of sports. Hopefully the Sox will rock the American League onto their second World Series title in four years.

* Recently I was talking to others about ABC's original TGIF line-up. Amazingly I could not remember all four shows. It was Perfect Strangers, Full House, Mr. Belvedere and Just the Ten of Us. There currently is not four wholesome shows like those four anywhere on television. What has happened to our society? Since we are bringing back shows like Battlestar Galactica and Bionic Woman I think we should bring back shows like Family Ties and Growing Pains. Same character names with new actors dealing with family issues of today. What a great idea that even PAX could get behind. :)

WTBT Volume 76 Series 2007...

We're taking bets that...

* it is really hard to bullshit a bullshitter.
* you are a little disappointed that the Patriots only scored 34 points and not 38 last night.
* maybe Britney losing her kids will help her back to normalcy.
* Isaiah Thomas is a dirty groping sexual harasser.
* you cannot get much more creative than these artists.
* Heroes was very cool last night and I think that it has a great partner in Chuck as its lead-in.
* Willie Randolph won't get fired for the Mets collapse, but he should.
* this is the weirdest middle school in America.
* kissing pyramids and circle jerks are still allowed though.
* sometimes even when you win you lose with some people.

WTBT Volume 75 Series 2007...

We're taking bets that...

* our world needs another guy like Mr. Rogers or Captain Kangaroo for kids to enjoy.
* you are excited for the play-off play-in game tonight with San Diego & Colorado.
* this is a pretty cool record to have.
* my record is 12 times and that was a lucky throw.
* I will never win the Red Sox lottery for playoff tickets in my lifetime.
* this is a lady that really wanted grandkids.
* just when you think you have college football figured out there are a ton of upsets.
* it was a good idea at the time.
* Lebron James was pretty awesome on SNL this week.
* Adam Samberg did it again with a fantastic digital short.
* with the Mets disaster New York teams have the two worst collapses in baseball history.
* yes the 1978 Red Sox moved to third behind the Mets and the Yankees in '04.
* my favorite part of this story is that the shark researcher said injurious.
* you need to use that word in a sentence this week.

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

Hottie Casey Thompson from Bravo's Top Chef has a great chance to be a the winner. She is an excellent cook and she is a super cutie. Hopefully she has the recipes and cooking skills to pull it off and we can see some better pictures of her. :)

WTBT Volume 74 Series 2007..

We're taking bets that...

* Hope Solo was right in criticizing her coach, but not her fellow goalie.
* Homecoming is always a fun time.
* sometimes being honest has some disadvantages.
* making another person smile who needs a boost is a wonderful feeling.
* the NY Mets will not make the playoffs.
* this doesn't seem like it could really happen.
* the Patriots are going to win a shoot-out Monday night.
* this is one lucky lady.
* The Office was hysterical last night and you can't believe what Dwight did.

We're taking bets that you should not blow your opportunity to inspire...

Hello WTBT readers!!! I hope that the twenty of you are doing well. It is a crazy fall in New England with 85+ degree weather the last few days. Although I like it I am a looking forward to fall. Jimmy Carter spoke here yesterday and he failed to be inspirational. I think that is a shame considering he was speaking to almost 3,000 college students. Here are a few questions for you. I hope that at least 5 of you can answer. Have fun and be anonymous if you have to.

A. If you were to give a speech to young people(high school or college aged) that needed to be inspirational what would you talk about?

B. Who is the most inspirational speaker you have ever heard?

C. Should adults try to teach young people lessons or should they leave them alone to find out about things themselves?

Answers:

A. I would speak about making a difference in just one person's life everyday and how easy it can be if you just try.

B. I think it would have to be Michael Eric Dyson. He is such a dynamic speaker and he makes me want to embrace everyone in a positive way. His views on diversity and racism are spot on and he inspires people to change.

C. I think that it should be a combination of both. Everything cannot be taught and many of life lessons are learned by experience.

We're taking bets that Hail to the Chief is great music...

Here are a few observations I have had the last few days...

* Ex-President Jimmy Carter is coming to Quinnipiac University today to accept an award. He is going to speak about nuclear weapons and the need to get rid of them. Since it is not often that a President of the United States is in your backyard I am going to see him. He is a Nobel Peace Prize winner and although he wasn't considered the best president he did a lot of good for the US and the World. I hope that when he passes away that he is recognized as a great man who loved his country.

* Most people under the age of 50 have no idea who the Little Rock Nine are. Yesterday was the 50th anniversary of the integration of Little Rock schools. President Eisenhower had to have soldiers escort the students inside. These nine teenagers are probably the most brave people that I can ever imagine. Racism and Bigotry are pretty bad these days, but in the 50's it was a whole other ballgame. Reflect on the accomplishments of the Little Rock Nine and understand that we need more brave individuals to move us further in the diversity equality.

* I know most people don't understand why Boston Legal and James Spader keep getting Emmy nominations and James keeps winning. It is simply one of the most intelligent shows on television. It's season premiere was last night and John Laroquette is now a regular. The show was fantastic. They deal with issues that even John Stewart sometimes shies away from. If you are not watching any TV at 10 pm on a Tuesday you should be tuned into ABC because you will realize there is something better out their than Dancing with the Stars and American Idol.

WTBT Volume 73 Series 2007...

We're taking bets that...

* Drew Brees has no longer remembered how to play quarterback for the Saints.
* Heroes was super awesome last night and I am hooked again.
* Chuck started out pretty well and I think that overall it is going to be funny.
* your favorite character is Captain Awesome.
* a mugging and a proposal at the same time is a great story for the grandkids.
* it is weird they brought up the possibility of her saying no at the end of the story.
* a lot of men are going to be talking with deeper voices today because of this study.
* it is great to not play a game and gain on the Yankees.
* the NL play-off teams will be the Mets, Brewers, Diamondbacks & Phillies.
* I do believe the Cubs are going to self-destruct again.
* Ted's tramp stamp on How I Met Your Mother was hysterical.
* you cannot wait for the slap bet countdown to be over.

WTBT Volume 72 Series 2007...

We're taking bets that...

* sleep isn't all it's cracked up to be.
* Brett Favre was mighty impressive in getting his 420th touchdown pass.
* Halo 3 has gamers going crazy with anticipation.
* Smokey the cat is quite a trooper.
* it is going to be a long week for the Red Sox.
* women's rights in Japan are still a little behind, but it could be a lot worse than being banned from a sumo wrestling ring.
* Randy Moss made quite a catch on Tom Brady's perfect pass.
* Heroes fans cannot believe the season premiere is finally here.
* you know Hiro is going to make it back to modern times eventually.
* with the exception of the Colts and the Pats the rest of the NFL is pretty even.
* you should not mess with senior citizens and their doughnuts.
* UCONN Husky Football could be 6-0 before they meet Louisville.
* this man should go to jail for a long time.
* you are shocked people watched this happened.
* some parents just don't know how cruel they can be without even trying.

We're taking bets that you did not miss O.J. Simpson...

Hello WTBT readers!!! I hope you all are having a great time as we move into the fall. It is one of my favorite four seasons. :) There are a few fun questions for everyone to answer. I hope you enjoy them. Have a great day and to all of my Jewish friends enjoy Yom Kippur. I also forgot to say to my Muslim friend enjoy Ramadan.

A. O.J. Simpson is back in the news. What old or shouldn't be celebrity do you hope never comes back into the news?

B. If you could be famous for something nutty what would it be?

C. If you had a butler/maid, but they could only do one chore for you what would it be?

Answers:

A. I do not want to have Tonya Harding back in the news for any reason. She is an awful person who should just stay anonymous. You hired people to hurt another person and never went to jail. Crazy!

B. I would like to be Angelina and Brad's new adopted child. That would be kind of crazy especially since I am old. They could pay off all of my debts.

C. I would have them wash and iron my clothes. That would be the best, never having to worry about that.

We're taking bets that the O.J. trial is back...

Here are a few observations for this week...

* O.J. Simpson is in jail and being arraigned today. I seriously hope that this does not become another media circus. He is the reason that the media is so celebrity driven today. It doesn't seem possible that he could take things to another level, but he did.

* Beware of the head butt in a fight. It is dangerous. Even if you never get into fights you should be careful of accidentally head butting someone. Why do I say this? Because of this story of an armless man who killed a man with one head butt.

* Tomorrow there is a big rally for the Jena 6 in Louisiana and across the country. Fellow bloggers and readers please check out my old post and remind people that racism still exists in this country. We need to put a stop to it and learn that differences are what make us special.

WTBT Volume 71 Series 2007...

We're taking bets that...

* the digital smiley face is looking a little old at 25. :)
* I would have paid to see John Kerry's reaction to this kid.
* it is another scary September for the Red Sox.
* Barry Manilow is in a fight with The View and he is going to lose.
* Barry wrote the songs, but he is not a fighter.
* the Philadelphia Eagles are in a lot of trouble and Donovan McNabb may be looking at the bench soon.
* this guy has a few issues with God.
* I would love to see him serve that subpeona.
* it is a shame that the Women's World Cup games are on at 8 am during a weekday.
* I am excited that I have Friday off for Yom Kippur.

WTBT Volume 70 Series 2007...

We're taking bets that...

* Ryan Seacrest wasn't that annoying as host of the Emmy's.
* if you saw the Browns/Bengals game you were one of the lucky one's to witness the most impressive offensive game this century.
* you should not need your quarterback to throw seven touchdowns to win.
* OJ Simpson is an idiot of proportions that I cannot understand.
* you are wondering if he wore gloves this time.
* Jamie Pressley was the most deserving award winner last night.
* Tiger Woods seems to be getting better with age.
* you don't know how often I have had Haz-Mat crews in my bathroom over toilet paper dust.
* Derek Jeter might be the most clutch player ever.
* Ian is right Robinson Cano does look like Todd Bridges from Different Strokes.
* Alan Greenspan is still a bad ass in politics and in the financial world.
* John Stewart, Stephen Colbert and Steve Carell were hysterical at the Emmy's.
* the Patriots might win 19 straight games on their way to their fourth Super Bowl.
* Kristen Bell and Ali Larter tied for the hottest women on the Red Carpet.
* Sally Field looks pretty good for being 61.
* it seems like she is a lot older.
* you should congratulate the Phoenix Mercury for becoming the first WNBA team to win the championship as an away team.

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

Since the US Women's Soccer Team is currently kicking ass in the World Cup I thought we should focus on one of the newest shining stars. Hope Solo who no doubt is the offspring of Han Solo and Princess Leia is the hottest goalie in the world. She is the US's number one goalie and she should be around for years to come.

WTBT Volume 69 Series 2007...

We're taking bets that...



* even with old people when you say sixty-nine you get a reaction.
* the Sox-Yankees series will actually mean something this weekend.
* this article gives you a whole new level of respect for Shakira.
* you didn't know you had any respect for Shakira.
* the poor Portland TrailBlazers cannot catch a break even when they get the #1 pick.
* in this hairy situation they should have just let the poor guy go.
* Bill Belichick should have been suspended for at least one game.
* suprisingly I agree with Venezuela and crazy Hugo Chavez on banning peculiar baby names.
* most sports fans will not be watching the most exciting game on Sunday: The WNBA Finals deciding Game 5.
* sometimes a simple conversation makes all the difference in another person's attitude.
* if you are from New England and you have never been to the Big E that needs to change this year.

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

Welcome WTBT readers!!! I hope you are having a great late summer day. It is a little chilly here in New England, but it feels great. Got to see Big Papi hit another walk-off home run last night. Quite an exciting experience. Here are a few questions for everyone. I hope you enjoy them. Have a great day!!!

A. You’ve won $50,000 – but have to give it all away. To which charity or institution would you donate it?

B. If you were going to name a foundation or charitable organization what would it be and why?

C. If you won $10 million what percentage would you give to charity.? (Imagine you got all the money and no taxes were taken out.)

Answers:

A. I would give it to the Alzheimer's Research Foundation because it is the one disease that frightens me most. I love my thoughts and memories and could not imagine losing them everyday. After seeing my grandmother go through it even though it wasn't fully diagnosed I want it cured.

B. It would be the Julia Dessereau Searching For Cures Foundation after my grandmother.

C. I would give 25% because I think that I could easily live well with only 75%. Hopefully this comes true one day. Oddly enough my grandmother had a dream that I would win the lottery one day. I didn't know this was completely grandma themed.

We're taking bets that our troops should come home...

Here are a few interesting thoughts...

* I appreciate that scientists do research on all kinds of absurd topics. Once in a while though you will hear some research that really makes sense. English scientists at the University of Portsmouth have realized that breasts bounce when women exercise. In order to reduce breast pain they are attempting to design better bras that reduce bounce. I for one am glad that they are looking at this. I mean someone could get hurt and we need to reduce collateral damage. Good for you English scientists!

* The New England Patriots deserve every punishment they get for cheating. It is hard for me to defend my favorite football team for stupidity. The worst thing is that they are a great team this year and do not need to cheat to get an advantage. I hate that they are becoming the Yankees of Football. I just hope it doesn't mean that we are going to get someone creepy like Jason Giambi on our team. Oops we already had Rodney Harrison and his drugs. I just hope when he returns he doesn't look like a 70's grease ball.

* Last Comic Standing is down to its final two comedians. You should watch the show tonight at 9 pm on NBC because you will get to laugh. There is nothing like laughter. Plus they are going to recap all of the other hilarity that they have shown so far. So get your laugh on tonight and have a great time.

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

Hottie Chris Brown stole the show at the VMAs. He was unbelievable and he has brought back true dancing to music. Check him out as he is only 18 and by the time he is 25 we will be talking about the new King of Music.

We're taking bets that you have memories about your hometown...

Hello WTBT readers!!! I hope that everyone is enjoying September. It is always one of my favorite months because it is the start of fall. The leaves change colors and where I work becomes one of the most beautiful areas in New England. I have a few questions for everyone. I hope you enjoy them. Remember to invite others and they can be anonymous.

A. How many different residences have you lived in since you were born?

B. Where do you consider your hometown and what is your favorite thing about it that isn't your family?

C. Is there any where in the world you wished you spent your childhood?

Answers?

A. I have lived at 5 different colleges, two apartment complexes, and three houses. Of course on each campus except AIC I lived in at least two different locations. I have definitely moved a lot.

B. South Windsor, CT. It is where I went to through most of my schooling. I love that from one hill on the opposite side of town you can see Hartford in the distance. I also enjoy that there are still a bunch of farms in the town but it is next to the biggest shopping area in Northern CT.

C. I think I would have loved growing up in Boston. It would have made me very independent and confident especially since I would have rode the T and bus lines by myself.

We're taking bets that FYI does not mean Finding Your Iguana...

Here are three little bits of important information or thoughts for everyone.

* The VMAs are on Sunday and they should be added to your weekend to do list. I know that they will be played 7,000 times between then and the next Sunday, but seeing them live make for great conversation. Something completely ridiculous is going to happen especially with Britney Spears and Kanye appearing. Do not miss out.

* Do you ever wonder why we in the "civilized" world don't make sacrifices more often. No I don't mean giving up Dunkin Donuts coffee to save time in your carpool. I mean killing a cat to appease God. Okay that is probably a little harsh, but I think the Nepalese might be onto something. If you use the whole goat it really is not a big deal. As long as we are not sacrificing humans and Michael Vick isn't involved I think we could get back into this practice in the US.

* Football season starts tomorrow and this means that many men and women will be useless from 1 pm to Midnight on Sundays. That seems like a bit of a stretch, but it is toatlly true. I am beginning to think that more women are dressing up in football jerseys and cheering on their favorite teams more than ever before. I thank J. Lo for the woman in a football jersey look because of what she looked like in Out of Sight. Gorgeous. It made it okay for them to wear the jerseys. So everyone do not get mad at your significant other if they are a little distracted on Sundays through the fall. Just put on a jersey and cheer.

WTBT Volume 66 Series 2007...

We're taking bets that...

* it is going to be quite a hurricane season.

* sometimes your porn collection is that valuable to you.

* Phil Mickelson is back swinging with the elite in the PGA.
* Jerry Lewis is an idiot and even though he makes a lot of money for charity dropping the "f" word is unacceptable.
* at least you feel he is more apologetic than Isaiah Washington.
* Michigan Football will be lucky to get back into the Top 20 of college football polls.
* Whoopi took no time at all getting all Rosie on the View.
* defending Michael Vick is like defending R. Kelly. He did it and won't be punished like he should be.
* Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers put on an absolutely fabolous show and if you get the chance to see them you should go.
* the NL pennant races will be exciting, but the AL will be boring.
* people have gotten the "skinny gene" are stupid.
* I am a little bitter about the "skinny gene".

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

Hottie Maggie Q is out with another new movie this week Balls of Fury. She is the hottest thing ever to come out of the Die Hard movies(unfortunately with a truck up her ass) and I think she is just getting started with her movie career. This Polish/Irish/Vietnamese actress will hopefully be lighting up our screens with her beautiful smile for years to come.

We're taking bets that people love to giggle...

Hello WTBT readers!!! Blogging is back in full swing for me so I hope my readership picks up. We are starting to experience some cool fall nights here in New England. I hope that means a lot of snow in the winter. A few questions for you to ponder and then answer. Invite others to join. Have a great day!!!

A. What innocent word when you say it makes you smile or giggle?

B. What movie do most people think is childish or stupid that you really think is hysterical?

C. What famous person, whom many people may find attractive, is most unappealing to you?

Answers:

A. I really giggle at the word duty and it is used a lot in my profession. I think it has to do with Caddyshack and "Doodie in the Pool!" Hysterical.

B. I believe that Real Genius with Val Kilmer is one of the funniest movies ever made. Most people haven't even seen it and those who do think it is a little stupid. There are so many great lines and you cannot go wrong with a character like Hollyfeld. Whatever happened to Mitch Taylor? You knew he was never going to become a big actor.

C. Although people love Grey's Anatomy I do not think Ellen Pompeo is hot at all. She has a great voice, but that is it. If I was McDreamy I so would have went back to Kate Walsh if it was a hotness scale. Of course now all of the Grey's Crazies are going to tell me I am nuts. Just relax I do think Izzy is the hottest. :)

We're taking bets that three items are enough information for you...

Here are a few interesting things from my thoughts...

* Loving your animals is a great thing. They provide companionship and usually unconditional love. Crazy Leona Helmsley left $12 million to her dog in her will. Most dogs would have been happy with a lifetime supply of Milkbones. The funniest part is that two of her grandchildren got nothing. Of course the dog isn't that happy because he had to hire a lawyer from Spot, Rover and Odie along with an accountant from Pooch & Fire Hydrant. The dog now has to pay taxes which I think is the least he can do. Too bad his name is Trouble because that is all he really is going to get.

* Christopher Walken is probably the most underrated actor of our time. He has been in some of the greatest movies ever and he instantly makes every movie he is in better. Where would Joe Dirt or Kangaroo Jack be without him. He helped SNL have one of its funniest moments with "I've got a fever and the cure is more cowbell." He should get an award every year for his contributions to entertaining us. So go out and rent The Rundown.

* It is never too early to start thinking about Halloween. In two months you may have a party to go to where you have to put something ridiculous on. Where should you go for your costume ideas? I recommend costumeideazone.com. This is not a pay per post. Just a real fun site. Don't get caught with no costume around Halloween. Just stick a dollar to each ear and be a Buccaneer.

WTBT Volume 64 Series 2007...

We're taking bets that...

* sometimes when you pour your heart onto paper you get laughed at.
* being laughed at by friends is okay sometimes.
* Michael Vick is getting everything he deserves and once he has done his time he should be given a second chance.
* the BBQ Chicken Quesadilla at Theodore's in Springfield, MA is awesome.
* the Sox can put the Yankees away this week with a sweep.
* this is a really cool dangerous frog.
* Alberto Gonzales' troubles have just begun.
* this lady is a little too touchy for me.
* it is great news for the Pats that Asante Samuel is back in the line-up.
* Comedy Central was genius for signing the South Park boys for another three years.
* college football will be a lot of fun this year.
* it is sad hearing about Owen Wilson's suicide attempt.
* you don't ever want to survive on coal and urine.
* the Farmer's Almanac is predicting a lot of snow for the Northeast and that makes me happy.

We're taking bets that there is no day like today...

The beginning of many students college careers begin at Quinnipiac University tomorrow. There is nothing like working at a college on Opening Day. It is like the World Series, Super Bowl and Tax Day thrown in together. I will start to work 18 hour days and absolutely love every single minute of it. I may miss my blog for the next few days, but I promise I will be back with stories and laughter. Smile while I am gone because I know that I will be smiling from ear to ear.

* I didn't get a speedking ticket this weekend.
* SUPERBAD is SUPER AWESOME and you should go see it.

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

Hottie Noémie Lenoir is currently in Rush Hour 3. Although the movie isn't as good as the others she is quite a find. I seem to be a little more sympathetic towards France lately, but if all of their exports are as hot as her than why not.

We're taking bets that you love to name things...

Hello WTBT readers!!! I have five free minutes and I thought I would get some questions out. I hope everyone is doing wonderfully. A few simple questions for everyone. Have fun and invite others to join.

A. If you had a horse to run in the Kentucky Derby what would you name it?

B. Using only one word, describe yourself as a child.

C. At the local grocer, you see an elderly woman shoplift bacon. Do you tell the grocer?

Answers:

A. I would name it Dagnabit Musky after a cartoon character that I loved as a kid. He was always yelling that at Musky.

B. Sports-minded.

C. Probably not. I mean she is taking bacon. Maybe she doesn't have someone to bring it home for her. She also could have a mental disability that is hindering her. Of course with my luck she also is a jewel thief and she was just practicing her slight of hand.

WTBT Volume 62 Series 2007...

We're taking bets that...

* it is fun to giggle to yourself when typing something funny.

* this should be the day of the panda.
* if you are going to be mad at God it makes sense to drive into his house.
* Madden '08 is here and better than ever.

* Karl Rove resigning is the best thing to happen to the Bush Administration.

* only New Yorkers would do something in the 70's just to see if they have the nerve.
* Merv Griffin was a TV genius and will be greatly missed.
* David Beckham has been quite a bust so far.
* thankfully Posh's bust has made up for it.
* we really need to use the term varmint more often.

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

Hottie Bonnie Bernstein is my favorite female sportscaster. She has been a hottie for years and has taken over for Lesley Visser as the smarts sportswoman on television. I can't believe that she isn't married or at least in a committed lesbian relationship, because she is so hot.

We're taking bets that you need to be heard...

Hello WTBT readers!!! I hope that you have had a great week! Time for some questions as summer enters it's last 5 weeks. I hope you enjoy them. Good fun questions this week. Get others to answer. I am hoping for at least 5 responses. We will see. Talk to you all soon.

A. Do you think a dog or a cat is smarter?

B. If you had a portrait painted of you what would the background look like?

C. What is one thing that fascinates little kids that you wish amaze you too?

Answers:

A. It has to be a cat, because they dictate what happens in a house. They know when they are doing something wrong and do it anyway. Dogs are great, but they always have a look of "I really want to sniff his butt." Dogs can be taught, but overall I think that cats are smarter.

B. I would probably have Fenway Park as my background. I love that place and would love to be remembered with it. My second choice would be a Little League baseball field from anywhere in America.

C. I truly wish I loved bubbles the way I did as a kid. Kids truly love bubbles. They said it in Knocked Up and I totally agree. I wish all I needed some days were bubbles.

We're taking bets that I am getting dizzy...

Here are a few observations from the world of Greg...

* Bourne Ultimatum was a fantastic movie, but I am sure it will make my best friend sick. The camera motions are even crazier than the last movie. It is like the director hired a bunch of people strickened with Parkinson's as part of some diversity hiring. (Yes I understand Parkinson's disease is scary, but it illustrates my point.) I think that Mr. Greengrass must have slept in a vibrating hotel bed as a kid because he doesn't understand a straight simple shot. I also think he likes people's pores because he had a lot of close-ups.

* Sometimes there are news stories that are too hilarious to not mention. You need to read about a man and his monkey. People actually thought he didn't know he had a monkey in his hat. Was he wearing the pope's big hat? Did he borrow the chiquita banana lady's hat and it just happened into the hat? Of course the guy knew he had a monkey in his hat. Maybe it just made them laugh to ask. "Excuse me sir. Do you know you have a monkey in your hat?" Oh the laughs we could have. You know of course this could lead to people trying to smuggle other animals under their hats. "Excuse me sir. Do you know there is a koala under your hat?" Because everyone loves koalas and they should be closer to people.

* Van Halen is reuniting again with David Lee Roth. Someone should put a stop to these old bands getting back together. No one wants to see Flock of Seagulls or Frankie Goes to Hollywood again. If you have been broken up for more than 20 years please stop and form a new band. It worked for a lot of others. Try it out.

WTBT Volume 60 Series 2007...

We're taking bets that...

* I can't believe I have almost reached 3 years as a blogger.
* some days there is just nothing funny in the news.
* monkey business sometimes cannot be done at the zoo.
* you are wondering what monkey biscuits consist of.
* they must be a little bit like Zwieback cookies.
* God is watching after some of us.
* I hate when my shoe falls off and gets stuck under the brake pedal.
* it would be nice to see David Beckham in uniform for an MLS game.
* leaving your dead wife's ashes in a ceramic turtle is going to cause problems.

WTBT Volume 59 Series 2007...

We're taking bets that...

* Barry will hit number 756 into McCovey Cove.
* Bourne Ultimatum is well worth $10.
* it's too bad Matt Damon doesn't want to do any more Bourne movies.
* Tiger will dominate the PGA Championship this week.
* just because library books are free doesn't mean you can be a jerk.
* you are going to hear a lot about bridges in the next presidential election.
* it is a slippery slope when football coaches are getting involved in the admissions process at Colleges and Universities.
* this kid must have an angel falling with him to still be alive.
* some of the X-Games stunts are absolutely crazy.
* if I ever fell from 40 feet I would easily break both legs.
* SuperBad will be as funny as Knocked Up if not better.
* sometimes pandas will attack and it is not funny.
* the delay of the new Grand Theft Auto has gamers everywhere upset.

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

Hottie Julia Stiles is Bourne again. For the third time she plays Nicky Parsons in the number one movie in America. She has stayed away from the crazy that other young stars have and I think she should be respected for that. Hopefully she will find a movie that will make her a big star.

WTBT Volume 58 Series 2007...

Were taking bets that...

* it's great waking up 5 minutes before an unscheduled power outtage happens.
* knowing the power is going out and not telling anyone sucks.
* Bourne Identity is the movie to see this weekend.
* Roger Clemens getting booed off the mound is music to my ears.
* it is tough to beat a kazoo record.
* there are not many more fun names for instruments than kazoos.
* the Celtics have at least guaranteed themselves the play-offs.
* Mattel's Make Me Sick line of toys featuring Elmo and Dora just weren't a good idea.
* some company's just don't have a heart.

We're taking bets that some questions need answers...

Hello everyone!!! I hope that you are enjoying August. Summer is flying by and if you do not stop and enjoy it will be gone. I hope you like today's questions. Fun times for all and don't forget you don't have to register to answer.



A. What do you think makes them "magic" markers?

B. If the answer is Jerry Seinfeld riding an elephant wearing socks what is the question?

C. What is your favorite candy to suck on? (Please keep it PG-13)

Answers:

A. I truly believe it is there ability to transport you from one room to the next with you moving your feet. Of course most people don't know you have to be drawing a backwards toilet flush that is wavy.

B. Who could find Kramer in the jungle and how would he do it? (I bet you can do better than this.)

C. I really think that overall the SweetTart is my favorite sucker candy. Even more than the candy ring which is really just like a big nipple.

We're taking bets that passion isn't what it used to be...

Here are a few interesting observations I have.

* You always have to remember that your passion on an issue does not translate into other's passions. I hate forgetting that fact like I did last night. No matter what you say or write unless people want to care they will not.

* Your nostrils are as big as your thumb. This is something that I believed for years, but finally proved to myself the other day. I think that everyone who has a big nose or nostrils is because they may one day need to shove their thumb up there. If you don't believe me check your nose.

* Mini Bowling Alleys are the coolest thing. It is like Candle pin bowling, but not really. You should check it out in Shelton, CT.

We're taking bets that I am getting on my high horse...

So I was listening to NPR on my way home from the gym today. I know that makes me sound kind of snobby, but it is a fact. NPR is actually a good place to get news you should be hearing. Anyway, I heard this story about a crazy racist town in Louisiana. Now you need to read the article or better yet listen to the link at the top before you read on. I was so outraged I wanted to drive to the town and punch that crazy kid and cut off his mullet and give him a 80's Bobby Brown haircut. Then I would find his parents and kick his dad in the nuts and give his mom the worst titty twister of her life.

How is this not on every single news channel and national news? I just don't get it. Three fucking nooses on a tree!!! I understand we have not evolved that much since the 60's. We all think that we have, but it is just a bunch of BS. We need a new Martin Luther King Jr. and Bobby Kennedy in America. Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Al Gore and just aren't doing what we need done. Where are our charismatic leaders that inspired people to march on Washington or try to affect positive change in our society. Our society communicates as well as a rock to a tree. Yes we have the means, but no one is truly saying anything.

I know that I am not perfect by any means. I have my white privilege although I am a strong part Mexican. I do stereotype sometimes. I think that I give everyone a fair shake though. If you are an asshole it does not matter whether you are black, white, green or purple. You are still an asshole. I think that is truly how we should be judged. By how we treat others and interact in our daily lives. If you are have your own blog please invited others to read this or at the very least post the story to your blog. Encourage others to do the same. Maybe we can make this national news by getting bloggers across our great nation to show their outrage of racism in our country!!!

We're taking bets that he was a true genius...

Sadly Bill Walsh passed away today. Most people don't know I was initially a San Fransisco 49ers fan because of Joe Montana and Bill Walsh. He changed the game of football both offensively and with his acceptance of black coaches. While most people will forget the latter fact he truly was someone to be admired and I hope that he is met with respect in heaven by all of the sports pioneers.

We're taking bets that people love to shop...

Hello WTBT readers!!! I am heading to vacation on Friday night. It has been a long July. I hope you do not miss me too much. I probably won't be posting until after next Thursday. I am going to good old RI. It should be fun times. Enjoy the questions and have a great weekend.

A. If you could spend a weekend alone in one store but couldn't remove any items which store would it be and why?

B. What is the one guilty pleasure that you feel you have to buy monthly and think you would feel strange if you didn't buy it?

C. If you had to eliminate one odor in the world what would it be?

Answers:

A. I think I would spend it in a Super Target because there would be so much to do. Especially in the world of entertainment. Plus it would make my best friend happy that I didn't go to the Evil Empire Wal-Mart.

B. I think it is buying DVDs. I have cut down considerably, but I still buy at least one a month. Very odd I know.

C. I think it would be the smell of burning rubber. I really hate that smell. Especially when driving towards New Haven in the summer. Ick.

We're taking bets that if you think you know you probably don't...

Here are a few things of interest.



* Although the Red Sox currently are not playing their best baseball they still have the most wins in all of the MLB. The Yankees are barely above .500 baseball and will not make the play-offs this year. I am sorry to all the Yankee fans that think they have a chance.


* Smurfette was not a hot cartoon. Even her voice was annoying and I can't believe people actually liked her. Jessica Rabbit from Roger Rabbit was probably the hottest of the cartoon of all time.


* Do Not RUIN HARRY POTTER FOR EVERYONE!!! All of these stupid people who cannot wait 3 days for the book are ridiculous. I may have spoiled some things for people in the past, but nothing like Harry Potter. What is it doing for you? Are you making money off it? It is a children's book and you should not ruin it for them. Idiots!!!

Hello WTBT readers!!! I hope that everyone is doing well. I have been very busy and have not had time to do a lot of post. I apologize and hope I can be back with a vengeance soon. I have a few questions for everyone. I hope you enjoy them. Have a great day.

A. If it was cool for adults to have lunchboxes what would be on yours?

B. If you could have an old movie poster hanging in your house what would it be and why? (A movie before 2000)

C. If there were no negative consequences to you at all but no doing one of these things would result in your demise would you rather steal candy from a baby, knock over an elderly man who uses a cane or walk up to another adult and just punch them in the face? (No one would get seriously hurt)

Answers:

A. Well part of me would really like Transformers since it was such an awesome movie, but I think I would really have LOST. It would be a picture of the island with the entire cast around it.

B. I would have an original Say Anything poster with John Cusak holding the radio above his head. Very cool and meaningful to me.

C. I would take candy from a baby no question because they probably would not remember later in life or even later that day.

* sometimes you just don't get paid what your worth.
* the nano iPhone is the dumbest idea that Apple has ever had.
* Sidney Crosby is worth every penny he just received.
* I am not sure if I am more bothered about advertising the bidet or bottoms being show in Time Square.
* it probably is the bidet advertising.

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

Hottie Isla Fisher has two movies coming out this summer Hot Rod with Adam Samberg and Definitely, Maybe with Jason Biggs. She has been pretty huge since Wedding Crashers. Being the fiancee of Borat doesn't help either. This Aussie hottie seems to be the woman comedienne we need in our movies.

We're taking bets that it is never too late...

Hello WTBT readers!! I hope all of my American readers enjoyed the Fourth of July. (To be honest I don't think I have many international readers.) I do believe that a Wednesday holiday is kind of a waste. It gets you excited, but at the same time is over quickly and you have to go back to work. I have a few questions for everyone. I hope that you all enjoy. Invite others. Have fun!!!

A. List three things you regret not learning to do. Why?

B. What is one thing you know how to do that you wish you never learned?

C. How come we laugh at funny looking people with our friends even though we know it is wrong and mean?

Answers:

A. First, driving a standard. It has limited my driving abilities a few times in my life. Second, learning to truly play piano. I know some very basics, but it would be cool to step up to a piano at any place and make people happy with music. Lastly I always wished I learned more about cars. With all of the money I have doled out for repairs it would have been nice to do some of them myself.

B. I wish I had never learned how to enjoy bad food. Although I love the taste I wish I had a learned about the negatives of this food when I was a child and did not love it so.

C. I think it is because we are uncomfortable and laughter makes it okay. I saw a child who looked like a shaved gorillla the other day and I restrained so hard to laugh and make comments. I think that overall it is only okay if we do it in private and not to tease/bully that person.

We're taking bets that you love your independence...

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!!

We're taking bets that you didn't realize that Garfield is sometimes still funny.
