The Absolute Worst Person From Each State

The Zodiac Killer.  Jim Jones.  Pretty Boy Floyd.  Timothy McVeigh.  Ted Bundy.  John Wilkes Boothe.  Jeffrey Dahmer.  Lee Harvey Oswald.  Charles Manson.

Do these names strike terror into your heart?

They probably should because each made the list.

What list, you ask?  Why, The Absolute Worst Person From Each State list.

I was relieved to see that not a single one of my friends made the list.

Which Big BangTheory Character Are You?

I’m certainly not bragging about being most like Howard Wolowitz.

He’s the character I got when I took Zimbio’s quiz, Which Big  Bang Theory Character Are You?  

I was surprised that I came out as Wolowitz.  Maybe I shouldn’t be though.  

I am fairly confident… probably a bit quirky too.  I definitely use humor and I do love my mama. [“Always be kind to your mother.”]

Maybe I shouldn’t have been surprised at all.

Which Musical Should You Star In?

I took Buzzfeed’s quiz, Which Musical Should You Star In?  The correct answer is the one without music.  

I can’t sing.

Let me rephrase that.  I can’t sing well.  As in no one would want to hear me sing in a musical or otherwise.

With that said, if I were to star in a musical, perhaps Chorus Line would be the one for me.  I am full of hope, earnestness, am enthusiastic and highly competitive.  I just can’t sing.

Felix Baumgartner’s Record-Breaking Free-Fall

Were you watching live when Felix Baumgartner jumped from the edge of space, 24 miles up?  

If you were viewing live, you remember the thrill of Baumgartner free-falling faster than the speed of sound and the nervousness wondering would he live through it all and land safely. 

GoPro has released a high-def video of Baumgartner’s recording breaking jump and you can see it here.

Which Decade Do You Actually Belong In?

I took Buzzfeed’s quiz, Which Decade Do You Actually Belong In?  My guess before taking the quiz is that it would come out that I belonged in the 1960’s or 70’s.  I was a bit surprised that “my decade” turned out to be the 1950’s.

Looking at the description though it does make sense.  I do long for a simpler time when people were polite and followed the rules.

I’m “Toy Story.” Which Pixar Movie are You?

When I took Buzzfeed’s Which Pixar Movie are You?  I got Toy Story.  It went on to say…

You are a natural leader and pioneer while also being easily approachable and well-liked — a balance you maintain perfectly. You may also have a thing for the ’90s.

I’d like to think that all those characteristics are true, except for the thing for the 90’s.  I’m a 70’s guy.

 

19 Things You Probably Didn’t Know about Pretty Woman

Did you notice the title on the movie poster above?

You were probably expecting to see Pretty Woman the title the movie was released as.  Did you know that the movie was originally titled $3,000?  It was because the was the price for a night with Julia Roberts’ character.

Well, she was a high-priced hooker, you know.

Studio execs didn’t think that their movie if titled $3,000 set the tone of the romantic comedy that they wanted to sell.  So the title changed to Pretty Woman.

Did you know Christopher Reeve, Denzel Washington and Daniel Day-Lewis were reportedly considered for the lead male role… Al Pacino, Albert Brooks and Sylvester Stallone were offered the role as well and turned it down before it went to Richard Gere
