Family Feud

The first question ever asked on "Family Feud" was to name someone named George. The number one answer was Washington.

No, Steve Harvey did not host back then...

Castles in America

Demetri Martin said that 99% of castles in America are located in fish tanks, but I'd venture to say that .000009% of fish tanks are located in castles.

Jay

Jay used to be slang for "fool." And that's why it's called "Jay walking." Everything makes sense!

Guarantee

I love the MTV Unplugged CDs. They give new insight into the minds of music artists. A couple of my favorites that I listen to on repeat are the ones for 10,000 Maniacs, Florence and the Machine, and Nirvana. During his set, Kurt Cobain said, "I guarantee you I will screw this up." I immediately jotted that in my notebook the first time I heard it, because I just thought it was the coolest thing that such a world renowned musician could admit and even embrace when he makes (or may make) a mistake in his music.

What the...

According to criminal law, it only takes three people for a disturbance to be classified as a riot...I guess that would be a "quiet riot" though.

Copycat

You know, the first person to copy someone was actually very original.

Touring My Space

As a change of space, I take you on a tour of my space where I like to write in my notebook. And of course it's decorated with all the stuff from my notebook!

The Brady Bunch

One of the funniest and most underrated movies of the nineties is definitely The Brady Bunch Movie...the sequel was also quite hilarious. And it had one of the best lines in movie history:

Mr Brady: Put on your Sunday best, kids, we're going to Sears!

The gang then proceeds to dance and sing around Sears. How funny is that?

Birthday

My birthday is one day away...it is almost scary that I read this quote at this moment...just had to share, "I wonder if I am closer to my birth or death right now."

The Truth About Bananas

Did you know that bananas only turn black and bruised because they participate in fight clubs at night...they're just not allowed to talk about it.

And if you have trouble with bruising, check out my friends at www.dermaka.com. They have

Dermaka Cream for bruising. It is a natural plant based vitamin enriched cream that aids in repairing damaged skin and reduces redness. It's ideal for treating patients after surgical or cosmetic procedures.

The Fuzz

You know why police are sometimes referred to as "the fuzz?" Well it has nothing to do with fuzzy wuzzy bears like I originally suspected. It actually comes from the fuzzy helmets on London police officers.

Movie Credits

Interesting fact for those of you who enjoy reading movie credits. When you see "&" between two writers' names, it means they collaborated on the work. But if it says "and" they worked at different times.

  And if they can't decide who should get credit or can't remember, they write "or." Okay, bad joke. I know.

Why 30 Rock Rules

"30 Rock" is so brilliant. I love the fast-pace, topical humor, and wittiness of it. Out of all the quotes this is surely a favorite from Tracy, "I finally understand the ending of 'The Sixth Sense.' Those names are the people who wrote the movie."

Luck of the Irish

You know why they call it "Luck of the Irish?" Because the Irish struck it rich in the gold rush. Interesting if you believe it, huh?

Kangaroos

Kangaroos hop because they can't move their legs independently.

Kangaroos: just another reason why visiting Australia is on my bucket list.
