Sky is Grey, Snow is Falling, and Vanna is Still Hot

Well, quesolitos, here's for ringing in springtime with a fat 4-8 inches of snowfall! Boy howdy. And how about being the only one to brave the road and come to the office? Boy Howdy two times! (or, Boy Howdy, Boy Howdy!)

So these are dark days but alas, simply because I cannot see the sunshine does not mean that the sun has indeed disappeared. For if the sun did indeed extinguish, then the world would certainly have frozen to its core and none of us would have risen today. All would end. Instead, the sun is simply hiding as it were behind a grey and snowy sky. Still, this shall pass, and hope will rise anew from the smoldering ashes of winters' cinders. I shivered.

Anyway, so last night the most incredible woman in the world and I had eaten dinner and seated ourselves in front of the idiot box for a little entertainment. We turned on the tube and found a classic American pasttime: Wheel of Fortune. One is startled to realize that after a...ohhhh....six year break from the wheel that in spite of all the new fangled attempts to modernize the show, Vanna is still as hot as you remembered (but now they give her lines) even though you know she has to be fifty or something by now. Also, you are startled by the fact that Pat Sajak's head is absolutely gargantuan--I mean he has the real life proportions of a bobblehead doll. Well, short story made long, we're watching, and there is this lady who is absolutely psychic (or as my dad would say, psychotic), and with two letters guesses "The Lazy Fox Jumped Over the Brown Log" and is right. Well, the puzzle is up and and it reads something like this:

_ _ S H R _ _ _ _ _ I _ _ & S _ I S S _ _ R _ E R

The genius lady mostly correctly gueses out of nowhere "Mushroom Cheese and Swiss Burger, Pat." Never the less, the next guy guesses "G" and can't figure is out, and the guy following him guesses the letter "N," which leaves:

_ _ S H R _ _ _ _ N I _ N & S _ I S S _ _ R G E R

Now, I am no whiz kid, but I followed the genius lady's lead and put together that this was a mushroom onion and swiss burger. So here I am screaming, "Mushroom Onion and Swiss Burger, Pat." Yet this guy looks at the board as if it were something written in swahili. The little buzzer beeps and he gives the board back to the genius lady who immediately solves. The best part was as she cheered, you see him double over and hit himself in the side of the head as punishment for his idiocy (or as my dad says it, idiodicy). It was incredible to watch him snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

May this brighten your day, especially if it is as dark and gloomy as mine.

God save the Cheese.
