What's been your worst experience at a restaurant?
Salmonellae from a "mom and pop" restaurant along the north shore of lake Superior from an egg salad sandwich back in 1990. Can't eat that stuff to this day.
Audio: Share a song you just can't stand.
Ummm ... why would I do that exactly? If i can't stand it, I certainly wouldn't want to foist it off on someone else. That'd just plain be rude!
It's dedication time. What song are you sending out, and who is it dedicated to?
Although a day early ... tomorrow commemorates the 42nd anniversary of "Operation Hump" by 173rd Airborne Brigade which should be remembered in memoriam. However, I like to think of it more as a celebration of the American Spirit .. when the odds are stacked against us .. we can really shine.
(btw ... this song is a country song ... but give it a chance ... I am sure you will be pleasently suprised)
Film & TV writers are on strike, which means everything except reality TV could halt production. Do you support the strike? Are any of your favorite shows in jeopardy?
WOW! Come back from a self-imposed hiatus and the opening statement of the QotD is chock full of naivety?! C'mon now .. with exception to the only "real" (and longest lasting) reality show (COPs), do people honestly believe that these things aren't scripted?! Really?!
Do i support the strike? No. Organized labor in this day and age is a farce. That's not to say it didn't have it's place in history. However thanks to our federal government, we have plenty of safeguards in place to protect the American worker. Today's organized labor protects and rewards the lazy and drives the cost of goods & labor through the roof.
Are any of my shows in jeopardy? Well DUH! It's a writer's strike .. what do you think?
Books: Show us a great children's book.
And since i am from MN - of course the best one in there is about old Paul Bunyan himself:
He rode through the woods on a big blue ox,
He had fists as hard as choppin’ blocks,
Five hundred pounds and nine feet tall ... that’s Paul.
Talk about workin’, when he swung his axe
You could hear it ring for a mile and a half.
Then he’d yell “Timber!” and down she’d fall ... for Paul.
Talk about drinkin’, that man’s so mean
That he’d never drink nothin’ but kerosene,
And a five‑gallon can is a little bit small ... for Paul.
Talk about tough, well he once had a fight
With a thunderstorm on a cold dark night.
I ain’t sayin’ who won,
But it don’t storm at all . . . ‘round here ... thanks to Paul.
He was ninety years old when he said with a sigh,
“I think I’m gonna lay right down and die
‘Cause sunshine and sorrow, I’ve seen it all”... says Paul.
He says, “There ain’t no man alive can kill me, Ain’t no woman ‘round can thrill me,
And I think heaven just might be a ball”... says Paul.
So he died ... and we cried.
It took eighteen men just to bust the ground,
It took twenty‑four more just to lower him down.
And we covered him up and we figured that was all ... for Paul.
But late one night the trees started shakin’,
The dogs started howlin’ and the earth started quakin’,
And out of the ground with a “Hi, y’all” . . . come Paul!
He shook the dirt from off of his clothes,
He scratched his butt and he wiped his nose.
“Y’know, bein’ dead wasn’t no fun at all” . . . says Paul.
He says, “Up in heaven they got harps on their knees,
They got clouds and wings but they got no trees.
I don’t think that’s much of a heaven at all”... says Paul.
So he jumps on his ox with a fare‑thee‑well,
He says, “I’ll find out if they’s trees in hell.”
And he rode away, and that was all ... we ever seen ... of Paul.
But the next time you hear a “Timber!” yell
That sounds like it’s comin’ from the pits of hell,
Then a weird and devilish ghostly wail
Like somebody choppin’ on the devil’s tail,
Then a shout, a call, a crash, a fall—
That ain’t no mortal man at all ... that’s Paul!
Show us your first car.

Except mine was jet black and had air shocks in the rear to git it that "in-motion" look even when it was sitting still.
Huge 460CID engine with 4bbl carburetor and posi-traction rear end. Rode like a cream puff but had the power and tenacity of a muscle car. Wish i still had her today!
Show us something on fire.

Video: Show us a great music video from the '90s.
I dunno about great - but - loved what was done with retro 50's video, inverted color and b&w and of course the car (which was really the koach I think - not the dragula)
What would you consider to be your 15 minutes of fame so far in life?
I do live spots on two local radio stations each morning Monday through Friday for my company. Have developed a small kind of celebrity status when my name is recognized through the course of daily routines and interaction with local merchants, service related businesses, customers, etc.
