Calculator Fun

Remember when you learned this stuff in middle school? It was like the coolest thing to find out you could do this on a calculator. Now you may have learned it a different way but this is how I remember it....

There is one girl, she is sixteen and she sixty-nined a guy three times in a row. What is she?

x 3 =

She is LOOSE!!! (35007 upside down, 11669 times 3)

There is another one....

Try this on your calculator, not your cell phone calculator, you need a real calculator. Find the big ass one you used for school.

There are 29,004 women times 2 equals what?

(flip the calculator upside down)

The answer is 58,008 boobs!!

Hooray for the Weiners...... I Mean Winners!!!

I have the Trivia Corner winners and the cereal mascot battle winner to announce.

In a surprising twist of events, Dawn, a.k.a. Baygirl32, a.k.a. Miss Maple Syrup (okay I might have made that last one up) fought tooth and nail and tied Pat Tillett for first place in Trivia Corner. I did not see this coming, I mean what are the chances? Any statisticians out there? If you figure out the odds, let me know by carrier pigeon. If you want the answers to the last round tell me in your comment.

I had stated in the rules of the game that the first place winner could choose between a guest post or for me to write a post about them. The second place winner would then be left with what the first place winner didn't pick. Since they both tied for first place I will let them both choose from either option. See what a nice guy I am? Don't believe what my Grandma tells you, she's just mad that she didn't win. So Pat and Dawn, you get to choose either a guest post here on JTC or for me to write a post about you and your blog (I would choose the guest post cuz I don't wanna write anything about either of you....lol). I want to give a shout out to RawknRobyn for trying her best, she might not have gotten a lot of answers right but I'll give her a pack of pretzel m&m's for effort.

Here are the final Trivia Corner Standings:

Rank............................. Points

1. Pat Tillett.................. 143
2. Baygirl32 ................... 143
3. Chuck ........................ 92
4.Geof............................79
5. Marlene ..................... 44
6. Nippy ......................... 42
7. Guilty of Gossip............ 32
8. RawknRobyn .................22
9. Ian ...............................10
10. Cruella Collett.............. 5
11. Copyboy......................... 1
12. Sara Beth...................... 1
13. Jana................... 'A' for effort


I know that most of you have been waiting on the results of the final cereal mascot battle between Tony the Tiger and Toucan Sam. Well, wait no more, I will tell you the winner after a message from our sponsors. What, we don't have any sponsors? Then who is funding this thing? It's free? Then who is sending me those paychecks? I need to get to the bottom of this. Oh yeah I was about to tell you who won the mascot battle.

That final round was a nail-biter. I tallied up all the votes and it was tied. That can't happen, I don't have a tie-breaker system. I looked over the votes again and realized that there was a late ballot for Tony on Monday, the polls closed on Sunday. So if you haven't put 2 and 2 together (you must have ridden the short bus to school and maybe to work), the winner of the cereal mascot battle is Toucan Sam!!! The parade will be next week, it will circle Tony the Tiger's block. Thanks to everyone that voted and participated. Toucan Sam couldn't of won without you. That's not true, he could of bribed me with tickets to The Price is Right but only if Bob Barker is guest hosting.

A Little Somethin' Somethin'

I am way behind in my blog writing and reading. Since I started school this semester my sleep and blog schedule have totally changed. I haven't adjusted to it all the way yet. I am also sick this week which doesn't help with the creative juices. I meant to post the trivia corner winners and the cereal mascot winner today but didn't have the time to write what I wanted. I will get those up tomorrow hopefully.

I'm still here, just busier than before. I will catch up sooner or later. Thanks for being patient.

Top 10 TV Shows Blogfest

Alex at Alex J. Cavanaugh has come up with another awesome blogfest. I loved the last dirty dozen movie blogfest so I jumped right on board with this one. If you haven't signed up yet or have no idea what this blogfest is about, go visit Alex's blog. Now let's get down to brass tax.

In no particular order.

Friends - This is by far my favorite show. It is one of the few I followed from the beginning. I watch reruns almost everyday on TBS. I still haven't gotten around to getting the entire show on DVD.

Seinfeld - I just love the stupid humor of this show. I find you either love or hate this show.

The King of Queens - I think I might have a thing for Jerry Stiller.

Scrubs - The Janitor is my favorite character.

That 70's Show - This is before I thought Ashton Kutcher was a douche.

The Price is Right - Bob Barker is the only host in my mind.

Family Guy - I don't think I have to say anything about this show. Sooo funny.

House, M.D. - I am behind a season but thanks to Netflix I'm catching up. I hope there is a real Gregory House in real life.

Nip/Tuck - My sister got me addicted to this show. Every episode was crazy. They could of done another season.

Still Standing - You can't go wrong with family humor and Jami Gertz as the hot mom. They canceled this show way too fast. Then they stopped showing reruns. Damn somebody!!

So there is my list, short and sweet. Now go make your own if you haven't yet.

Battle of the Cereal Mascots: FINAL ROUND

Wow, that last round was intense. Tony and Trix were neck and neck but then Tony realized he was a tiger and just ate the rabbit. I apologize to all you vegetarians for the graphic image I just put in your head.

This is the last battle to determine who is the greatest cereal mascot of all time. I assumed from the get-go that Tony would be in this last round but Toucan Sam is kind of a surprise. Personally I was rooting for the Cap'n to make it all the way. I have a thing for pirates, I'm thinking about getting a wooden leg.

Treat this final vote like it was for American Idol. I don't watch that show but I hear people enjoy it way too much. I decided to talk to a 3rd grade class and see if they had any questions for our mascots. I brought in the kids with the best questions to interview our combatants. Stick around after the match, we will be giving out free boxes of the winner's cereal.

VS

PTM: Okay Toucan, all these questions are from 8 & 9 year olds. Are you ready?
Toucan Sam: Fire away.
Jake: Where do babies come from?
Toucan Sam: Do you know what a vagina is?
Jake: The state next to West Vagina.
Toucan Sam: Yes, babies come from there.
Sally: Why doesn't my daddy live with us anymore?
Toucan Sam: He probably doesn't love you anymore.
Ricky: How do you wipe your hiney?
Toucan Sam: I use SpongeBob.
Melissa: Where is Mrs. Toucan?
Toucan Sam: She left me for the Sonny the Cocoa Puffs bird. That guy is a real douche.

PTM: Okay Tony it's your turn.
Tony: Hurry up, I have to take a dump.
Jasmine: Who is your favorite superhero?
Tony: Captain Planet, I hate pollution too.
Nick: How do I get a girl to like me?
Tony: Have lots of money and stop picking your nose.
Penny: My mom says I'm not allowed to eat your cereal, too sugary. Can you talk to her?
Tony: Is that her in the leopard spandex? Tell her to meet me at the Super 8 motel at 7 tonight.
Mark: Why don't you wear any pants?
Tony: They don't make any with a tail hole and nobody seems to mind me walking around nude.

Now that we heard from the kids, let's hear from you. Will it be Tony or Toucan? Polls close on Sunday at 11:58 pm. I will announce the winner on Monday or Tuesday next week. Vote now.
