Louie Armstrong on the... Moon?

Post by Benji »

"How did I feel when I got the call that I was booked for the ccver of Sports Illustrated? How did Louie Armstrong feel when he landed on the Moon?" -Rebecca Romijn-Stamos in TNN's 100 Most Irresistable Women.

What makes it worse: the voice-over said she had brains! More that that, I don't find her that irresistable.

I believe he is a jazz musician. I hate when people show just how stupid they really are sometimes.

Our nation is extremely undereducated to the point of being stupid. It surprises me that some of these people have enough brain cells to keep breathing. They've all died due to lack of use.

LOL its so true. Perfect example of this would be the gameshow street smarts. I swear the ussual contestants couldnt come up with a hundredth of a brain cell between them. some of my favorite recent answers. When asked what famous senator is bill clinton currently sleeping with? the answer given Dick Cheany. Then their was what race did Bob Dole lose in 1996? answer a Nascar race. And then i swear we need more geography education in our schools. People routinely get asked wuestions about countries and name states or when asked to give a state give a city. Did you realise Norway was the country south of Canada?

Yeah, that and Jaywalking are funny. The thing about these, though, is that they only pick certain people to use on the show. Your experiences in real-life mean more than the TV shows.

ooooh thats sad. It is sort of understandable how they came to the conclusion since the last names are the same, but I still think it is sad.

You know, having an insane counselor has its advantages. They are lots more fun to play with than a super serious counselor usually. Woo okay didn't you also have a squirrel-chasing counselor?

You had a squirrel chasing counselor and we had squirrel chasing Australians. They had never seen a squirrel before so they chased them to take pictures whenever we saw one.

SQUIRREL!!

Post by Repeat »

We heard about your group! I had Becky Dedrick (who is awesome) with Katina. And one day, on the TCF, Jason told us to call her Tish... And she also told us about the yelling of "SQUIRREL!" My group (Oberth 42) rode the short orbiter to space...

Becky and Jason were insane but it was so much fun. Our whole team was insane. We loved to yell squirrel at Jason.

our team was pretty insane, too, in a cool way. We rode the short orbiter to space... And at the end of the week, bought Becky dogtags that reminded her that, so she'd never forget. :)
