Friday Happy Hour: No, Don’t Tell Me!
Time for another edition of Mental Floss’ Friday Happy Hour. Questions theirs, answers mine. 1. I have two young daughters, and each time my wife and I didn’t know the sex until a little girl popped out to meet us. If I have any more kids, I would do the same thing. It was such a […]
Friday Happy Hour: Dream Maker
It’s been awhile since I’ve done a Friday Happy Hour. I keep busier in my current job than I did in my old one, so I can’t find the time in the same way. Come to think of it, it’s been a long time since I’ve done anything on my blog. Maybe I should start […]
Friday Happy Hour: The Edge
I haven’t done one of these in a few weeks. Sitting around on a beautiful day off, turned rainy-haily, turned thunder-sunny, I should probably do a Friday Happy Hour. The questions, as always, come from Mental Floss’ great blog… the answers, as always, come from Mike Tufano’s great mind. 1. On Monday, September 10, 2001, I […]
Friday Happy Hour: San Dimas High School football Rules!
Ok, it’s been a few weeks since I’ve posted this, or anything, so we’re back to a little Friday Happy Hour time. Questions ripped from the pages of one of my favorite blog/magazines out there: Mental Floss. 1. Under Colin’s post about items you shouldn’t microwave, regular _flosser Bert left this comment: “My brothers once tried […]
Friday Happy Hour: Defenestration
As always, the questions come from Mental Floss, and the answers are mine… 1. According to a study by Twentysomething, Inc. that appeared in Time, 85% of college grads move back in with mom and dad. What was your first move after college? If you’re still in school, what’s your plan? My parents had […]
Friday Happy Hour: The sea was angry that day, my friends…
It’s Friday again. Questions from Mental Floss, answers from my sick demented mind… 1. Growing up, whenever we flagged down the ice cream truck, my regular order was a Bubble O’Bill. My sister preferred the Fat Frog. If the ice cream truck from your childhood showed up in front of your house tonight (you know, through […]
Friday Happy Hour: And you’re all dummies…
Yet another Friday Happy Hour, ripped from the pages of Mental Floss (Follow that blog, it’s great for trivia nerds). As always, questions are theirs, answers are mine. 1. Agatha Christie said she came up with most of her book plots while sitting in her bathtub, eating apples. Do you have a special place you […]
Friday Happy Hour: Committed
Haven’t done one of these in awhile, but here’s a post ripped from The Mental Floss blog. Their questions, my answers… 1. Last week, we discussed things everybody liked except you. How about the opposite? What short-lived TV series, style of clothing, book, day of the week, vacation destination (or whatever) are you seemingly alone in liking? […]
Friday Happy Hour: Pizza and Beer
Every week Mental Floss does their Friday Happy Hour. Sometimes I steal it… This is one of those weeks. Questions theirs, answers mine. 1. “1-877-KARS-4-KIDS. K-A-R-S KARS-4-KIDS. 1-877-KARS-4-KIDS, donate your car today.” I find myself humming this radio jingle at least once a day. What jingles have been lodged in your head for years? Anyone who […]
Friday Happy Hour: Crocodile Bob
I don’t do it every Friday, but when I do… well… I do it. Ripped from the headlines of the Mental Floss Blog: 1. School names generally fall into five categories: Geography (Valleyview, West Morris); Famous Historical Figures (Dr. Sally K. Ride Elementary, Polk High); Not Famous Historical Figures (Amos W. Harrison Elementary); Numbers (PS […]
Friday (Sunday) Happy Hour: Yeah, it’s late.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It’s Sunday. I didn’t do this on Friday. I get it. But I skipped the week before (based on the fact that there wasn’t a single question I even remotely had an answer to. So I thought I’d do Mental Floss’ Friday Happy Hour today. As always, questions come from the posts, […]
Friday Happy Hour: ID4x4
Once again it’s time for some Friday Happy Hour direct from the blogs at Mental Floss: 1. A few weeks ago we talked about rewatchable movies—films you’ll watch again and again on cable or DVD. But what about movies you saw in theaters and couldn’t wait for home video to see again? What movies did you […]
Friday Happy Hour: KC Museum of BBQ
It’s been awhile since I’ve answered one of these, but hey, why not… here goes the Friday Happy Hour stolen from Mental Floss: 1. In your opinion, at this point in your life, what’s the most rewatchable movie? Even though you’ve seen the film dozens of times, you’re excited to see it come on TV, you […]
