48. Thursday. Tipsheet.
This week's Thursday Tipsheet is brought to you by Del Monte, the official bananas of the TimsHead household.
Added To 'HeadHood Jukebox: Big Audio Dynamite, Planet B.A.D. Greatest Hits; School Daze Mix, mystery person from handicap13's music exchange; Sunburst Songs, Vol. 1, JP aka Anejo Mockingbird.
Celebrating: Mario Williams, the former North Carolina State defensive lineman who became the surprise #1 overall pick in the NFL Draft by the Houston Texans.
Not Celebrating: Texans fans and pundits who can't understand why Houston didn't instead draft the once-in-a-generation and very marketable skills of former USC running back Reggie Bush.
Pop Culture Will Eat Itself, Vol. XLVIII: If ABC, a part of the Disney Empire, is so family-friendly, whose bonehead idea is it to televise the National Spelling Bee in prime time, packaged as the original reality TV? While the popularity of the spelling bee continues to rise -- despite its inherent boring nature -- does anyone else see anything wrong with humiliating kids who miss a word in front of millions of viewers on a major network?
Lost: Former Wall $treet Week host and financial guru Louis Rukeyser, and Earl Woods, father of golf's Tiger.
Found: Too many similiarities to other sources in the work of former whiz-kid writer Kaavya Viswanathan. The 19-year-old Harvard student has subsequently seen her publishing contract with Little, Brown and Co. canceled.
Elevator Up: To 13-year-old golfer Dakoda Dowd, who was able to play in an LPGA tournament to fulfill a dream for her terminally ill mother. While Dokoda didn't make the cut for the event, the family's story won countless fans.
Elevator Down: Rolling Stones guitarist and jurassic fossil Keith Richards, on the mend from injuries reportedly suffered by either falling out of a palm tree or tumbling from a personal watercraft. Well, I guess either is safer than doing heroin.
Huh? Headline of the Week: Men glued to toilet seats at Wal-Mart, Denny's
Strangest Hit: Someone surfed here via a search for i know it's late now i know i ought to go (lines from "Drive" by Bic Runga, during the lyric game).
Stupid Fantasy Baseball Report: As of Thursday morning, the Nautical Disasters dawdle in seventh place in the Stout Fellows League.
Shoulda-Been-Obvious Lesson: Oh Lord, it's hard to be Hummel.
Franklin PlannerTM Quote of the Week: All of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon -- instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today. -- Dale Carnegie
Looking forward to ... : The CASE Design Conference in Seattle and a weekend in Vancouver. w00t!
