fun and games

(i have to start this entry with the disclaimer that houston radio sucks.)

ok. today we're going to play a game. one of the less-sucky of the radio stations here does a game on their wednesday morning show called "one of these things is not like the other," and i want to know if i'm just really good at this game, or if the people that called in this morning were just really bad. the idea is that you get a list of 4 things, name the one that doesn't belong, and then name the thing the other 3 have in common. for instance, if you were given the foursome of red, yellow, cow, and blue...cows come off the list, and the other three are all colors.

i guess i should say that if you were actually playing the game, you'd have to figure it out in about 5 seconds or less, so no time for searching things on the internet, cheaters! so here are today's groupings (at least the ones i can remember):

• football players, priests, star trek convention-goers, dungeons & dragons players
• a flower pot, a tandem bicycle, gay american idol contestant, thing you put in a kiln
• an ice skater, al gore decided not to do it, dmc, a tear in pantyhose
• vin diesel's big movie, ruben studdard's underwear size, james bond, ron jeremy starred in these movies

the two women on the show this morning didn't get a single one, and i got all of them. i should call in next week and win something.

anyway. i have a lot to do today.

funny article: who has the better outfield, braves or reds? my favorite line from it: "Andruw [Jones] catches every fly ball that lands between Georgia Tech and Jimmy Carter's house."
