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.

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!!!

WTBT Volume 55 Series 2007...

We're taking bets that...

* Kason Gabbard has made a strong case to stay with the BoSox.
* noone calls the Red Sox the BoSox anymore.
* this sounds like a crazy animal town.
* a kangaroo in a diaper must have been cute.
* this guy is the biggest liar I have heard of this year.
* you don't use an offensive term by accident.
* sometimes you are always a RHD.
* you are not shocked that Beckham is already injured.
* Harry Potter is one of the best movies of the summer.

WTBT Volume 54 Series 2007...

We're taking bets that...

* Vermont is a weird, but fun place.
* sometimes wrinkled old man really ruins it for everyone else.
* the Red Sox really need to start getting some more timely hitting.
* you are very excited that Harry Potter's final adventure comes out on Saturday.
* this guy's wife is probably pretty pissed.
* he's probably too stupid to have a wife.
* the ESPY's are probably one of the most fun awards shows on TV.
* you've wondered where Famous Amos has gone.
* most of my younger readers have no idea who he is.
* there's nothing like a bucket of Dirt Wings from J. Timothy's in Bristol, CT.

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

Hottie Victoria Beckham has now taken to America. With hubby David now playing soccer/futbol here she will be all over the place. She has a reality show in the works and is reuniting with the Spice Girls. Check out their interview with Ali G. Hysterical.

We're taking bets that nostaglia is cool...

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.

WTBT Volume 53 Series 2007...

Wer're taking bets that...

* flying 193 miles in balloons sounds like a lot of fun.
* Vlad Guerrero needed just a little help from Papi to win the HR contest.

* women's shoes are just too dangerous.
* 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.

We're taking bets that you know all the answers...

Hello WTBT readers!!! I hope that everyone is having a fabulous week. It is question time again and I have a few gems for you all. Get others to answer and enjoy reading what others think. Talk to you all soon.

A. With news of the giant penguins of old it got me thinking about other animals that may have been different one day. What animal would you like to see a large or miniature version of?

B. You are handed a camera and are allowed to take only four pictures. What are the four pictures which you take?

C. What’s the first movie you remember seeing in a theater?

Answers:

A. I would love to have a miniature elephant. I mean they are really cool animals and they could help you to wash your car. Plus a miniature version wouldn't poop as big or eat as much.

B. I would take one of my brother and sister together; one of my parents; one of Fenway Park in black and white; and one of a Miami sunset or sunrise I am not sure which.

C. I went to see Cannonball Run with my uncle and grandfather. It was probably inappropriate for a kid my age to see it, but I thought it was great. I think I might of saw Fox and the Hound and Star Wars before that, but I don't remember them like I do Cannonball Run in the theater.

We're taking bets that action movies are back...

Three things you should be aware of.

* Live Free or Die Hard is the best action movie of the summer so far. It was fantastic on a level we haven't seen in years. Hysterical and action packed. Almost everything was believable too. Not quite, but you should suspend some reality when you watch action movies.

* The dumbest thing on older cars is the fact that the gas cap is not attached to the car. If you are in a rush you probably will forget to put it on at least once a year. That means the gas cap industry is making money off of you. Yes I have had my car three years and I have bought three new gas caps.

* Steroids are scary kids. If you don't believe me start reading about Chris Benoit and what he did to himself and his family. There is no doubt in my mind that he was a steroid freak and it scares me that most wrestlers are considering it is the entertainment industry.
