Friday Fun

This week brought the sad news that Pat and the Wild Hanlons were eliminated from Treasure Hunters, a new reality show that I’m hooked on. That’s too bad. I was seriously considering launching a website called PatHanlonIsMyHomeboy.com. At one point in last week's episode, the mullet-wearing redneck donned a bandana outlaw-style, over his mouth and nose for no apparent reason. The world needs more Pan Hanlons. But alas, when you’re dumb as a post, it’s hard to keep pace in a game about riddles.

A couple of notes on OLN’s Tour de France coverage:

• Looks like L.L. Bean has provided two matching blazers and three matching shirts for Phil and Paul’s wardrobe. On Day 2, they wore the same thing and I’m pretty sure Phil wore the same shirt two days in a row.
• OLN is the king of promos. They run so many of those on-screen teases that they run them over their own graphics.

Here's a funny read (thanks, Steve) about a book series that is on my To Read list: the Pocket Guides Theological Issues series.

Did you know George W. and 50 Cent share a birthday? Yesterday, one turned 60 and the other 30. You think they shared a party as well? Maybe a backyard BBQ or a trip to Chuck E Cheese?

Yahoo! has launched a new thing called Yahoo! Answers. You post a question and anyone can give you an answer/advice. To kick things off, they recruited Bono to ask his big question. Answers are many, varied, and interesting. Enjoy.
