Sorry Dave, but when you and What start going back and forth with each other, I scroll right on by it. It’s impossible to decipher any real info when everything is filled with ‘YOU ASSNUT’ ‘YOU F*CKFACE’ ‘YOU RETARD’ etc. 🙂
The tv news is bullsh!t. Everything they put on is geared towards scaring you. “DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING IN YOUR REFRIGERATOR THAT CAN MAKE YOUR VAGINA FALL OFF? FIND OUT TONIGHT AT 11!”
Arkady, that’s a good one. Seems to be a word for almost everything these days. Did you watch the recent Scripps National Spelling Bee? It’s amazing what those young men and women know, although I do wonder if they have any lives outside of studying words.
There was a great documentary called Spellbound (nominated for Academy Award for Best Documenary) that was about various competitors in the 1999 Scripps Spelling Bee.
You might also like the documentary Wordplay that was done in 2006 and features Will Shortz and includes “famous” crossword solvers. It also covers the 2005 American Crossword Puzzle Tournament.
I know both of the above sound extremely lame but they are both worth viewing.
Snappy, CA is handing out IOUs for tax refunds and unemployment, too, I think. Hmm, I think it’s poor management and the economy. A thick soup of bad timing and bad circumstance.
Thanks, Biff. I read the Shortz book & liked it.

OMG, Snaps! What did it turn out to be? 🙂
