Q & A

This is where I throw you some random questions and you answer them in a comment, it's that simple.

1) Would you rather lick the bottom of a stranger's foot or suck on a lollipop you found under your couch?

2) What do you like most about 'Just the Cheese'?

3) What is your least favorite thing about 'Just the Cheese'?

4) Who would win in a tag team match: Spongebob & Mr. Krabs vs. Patrick & Squidward

5) How many blogs are you following?

6) Do you think you could be me in a game of Scrabble?

7) Ask me a random question of your choosing.

I will post the your answers and my answers some time next week.

The Movie Game

It's that time again, no not time to make the donuts, that was yesterday. Time for some movie game madness. Please submit your answers in the form of an EMAIL, don't put your answers in a comment. I want everybody to have a fair shot. My email is at the bottom. Let's have fun out there.

If you have never played before or need a refresher, read ahead...

I present you with two movies, for example: Independence Day and U.S. Marshalls. The object of the game is to link them together using another movie by connecting the actors/actresses. The link in this case is Men In Black using Will Smith from Independence Day and Tommy Lee Jones from U.S. Marshalls. Now they all aren't this easy and sometimes there are multiple answers. The questions range from easy to hard and sometimes I like to throw in a challenging one to test those true movie buffs. You earn points for correct answers and I keep track of every one's points on the side of my blog. There is going to be a prize awarded to the winner. GOOD LUCK!!

Easy - Link: My Girl & Little Giants

Medium - Link: National Security & Goodfellas

Hard - Link: When Harry Met Sally & Evan Almighty

Challenge - Link: Adaptation & Kinsey & Ray

Email answers to reviewsyoucantuse@gmail.com. Answers will be posted Friday at 7 am, get your answers in before you forget them. If you haven't voted on the 3rd round of the Battle of the Game Show Hosts just scroll down, it's the post under this one.

Battle of the Game Show Hosts: 3rd Round

In the last round Marc Summers had no problem beating up on Alan Thicke. Tracy Gold tried to help Thicke by attempting to hurt Summers 'Tanya Harding style' but guest referee Jeff Foxworthy would not allow it. I think I saw Jeff's mustache yell at Gold, I must be seeing things. After the match Thicke was forced to watch the whole season of Pictionary for trying to cheat.

The next round is almost underway. Today's guest referee is Summer Sanders from Figure it Out. A little trivia about Sanders before we start the match. According to IMDb, she was in the movie Jerry Maguire as herself, uncredited. I never saw her in that movie, I'll have to watch it more closely next time. Enough distractions, time for round 3.

b) The Catcher in the Rye
c) The Cat in the Hat

You know what, since nobody guessed my middle name I'm going to carry it over to the next round and raise the point value. Maybe I will keep doing this until somebody guesses correctly.

Random Thoughts

Anytime I think I have a good idea for a blog post I text it to my blog and it gets saved as a draft. A lot of times I never end up doing anything with it because there isn't enough info to talk about. I decided to compile what I had sitting in my drafts section and created this: Random thoughts and questions.

What is up with the Rockabye Baby nursery rhyme? Does anybody else think it is screwed up to sing a song about a baby in a cradle falling out of a tree? Go ahead, sing the song, I'll wait........... And down with come baby, cradle and all. My point exactly.

Is it pronounced Pet-Smart or Pets-Mart? Smart shopping for your pet or a mart for your pets?

Do you think that Wile E. Coyote has a line of credit at the Acme store? Or does he have an Acme credit card? If he does have one, does it earn him points for free stuff?

Who grows up wanting to be a Proctologist? You know what? I want to have my finger in strange asses all day long. It's probably good money but when do you decide to focus just on the ass?

In Kohl's there is a ladies section called Petites'. For some reason the apostrophe is outside the 's', doesn't that imply ownership? The woman's section doesn't have the apostrophe on the outside of the 's'. I don't get it. What does the petites section own?

Why is it as a guy I can name at least 5 tampon brands? I bet a woman can't name 5 makes of a circular saw. Damn advertising getting into my head.

I saw JimmyJohnson (the football coach) doing an Extenze commercial. Is he hard up for cash or does he have a problem?

Does the Three Men in a Tub nursery rhyme see strange to you at all? Why are 3 grown men bathing together? I am not homophobic but I don't ever see myself bathing with 2 other dudes. Maybe if I was like 4 and I had 2 brothers. Was there only enough water for one bath and they decided it would be okay to wash together?

Where does the money recovered from criminals go? From what I have seen on tv and movies, it gets stored as evidence. So it stays in a box in a room forever? The cops or government don't divvy it up?

Ever see a 'fallen rock zone' road sign? Why do I need to know that rocks have fallen here? If I need to be cautious, shouldn't it read 'falling rock zone'? So one rock falls and hits a car and it's deemed a fallen rock zone?

Do people born blind from birth dream? If they do, what do they dream about? Are their dreams shaded black or white and do they know the difference? Do they only dream about sounds and noises?

I always thought the lyrics in Blinded by the Light by Manfred Mann's Earth Band were 'wrapped up like a douche.' The line is actually 'rewed up like a deuce.' The original Springstein lyric was 'cut loose like a deuce.' I was always so confused, who wants to be wrapped up like a douche? Why are those the lyrics? I finally have the answer and so do you.

Feel free to answer any of the questions. If you haven't played today's Trivia Corner, it's just one post down under this one.

Monday Minute Link up

The Monday Minute tastes the best with some waffles.

1 - How much would you have to be paid to eat a human cadaver's finger?
About $12.67, give or take a few cents

2 - Describe the worst physical fight you've ever been in.
I kicked the shit out of this aardvark once for looking at me weird.

3 - Name one song that if you never heard it ever again, you'd be thrilled.
Crazy by Gnarls Barkley. I will murder anyone who hums it to me.

4 - Describe the "drunkest" situation you've ever been.
The Titanic sinking, that was my fault. I was passed out drunk when I was suppose to be watching for icebergs.

5 - What's your biggest regret?
Not going back to the future when Doc Brown gave me the chance to.
