  • The Price is Right

    Today I am fulfilling a major dream. Well, I’m attempting to fulfill a dream by going to a taping of The Price is Right in Burbank, CA. I’m a total geek but I am super excited about seeing the show taping as well as seeing, live and in person… Drew Carey!

    I’ll let you know the air date of the show.

    Our group is meeting up at a park-n-ride at 5:30 AM, we need to be up there by 9:00 AM. From there it’s all top secret.

    All I know is that I’m winning a car and a showcase showdown. I feel the need to go on the record about that.

  • Don’t play horse with this kid

    This brings back some memories. When we took students to Chicago for a mission trip with ICI, we had endless gym time to practice all sorts of trick shots. Something tells me this guy was unstoppable at horse.

    Now I just need a video with extreme carpetball shots and we’d be all set.


    Since we’re talking high school and we’re talking basketball.     Check out these variations on basketball. I grew up playing most of these “in the slums of Granger, Indiana.” OK, it was the rich suburbs… but hyperbole is just too much fun.

    Twenty-one: all vs all, first to 21 wins. (I could write a book on local variations of 21. The game is different all over the country!)
    Make-it-take-it: team game, score a basket and your team keeps the rock.
    King of the court: multi-team game, your team wins a game to 10 and you keep playing.
    Knockout: all-vs.all, start at the free throw line and try to knock out the person in front of you.

  • Krispy Cream Eggs and Cheeseburger?

    I felt a little dirty watching this. This wasn’t the least bit appealing to me. In fact, I am now convinced that these women had just finished smoking a bowl before saying “action.”

  • Songs of Solomon Pick-up Lines

    Gosh, I love my job!

  • What a difference a letter makes

    One of the many funny things that happened in Nashville occurred Sunday night during our general session. As our bloggers are describing what our speaker, Danielle Strickland of the Salvation Army, is talking about I took it upon myself to head over to twitter to share a quick insight into what I was thinking.

    Danielle Strickland is taking us to the deep end of the poo tonight.

    Of course, I meant “pool” but the damage was done. It was one of those typos that you’re friends repeat often. I got “the poo” all cleaned up on twitter and the live blog, yet the joke wouldn’t die. Thankfully, everyone knew it was a typo so the poo never hit the fan… since we’re in the land of the pun.

    It just goes to show you. Every letter matters when communicating. You may be trying to take people to the deep end of the pool, but miss the “L” and they’ll head straight to 7th grade science class.

  • Pennsylvania is Split

    Watch how the anchor manages to ignore what just happens. This is great.

  • Cow Costume Lands Woman in Jail

    This hits awful close to home. Well, I never urinated on anyone’s front porch.

    32-year-old Michele Allen received a one-month sentence for disorderly conduct after police received complaints that she was dressed in a cow costume and chasing children, blocking traffic, and urinating on a neighbor’s porch.

    She wore the costume again when she appeared for sentencing.
