Alright, Threedonia! You are all smarter than me, so I thought I’d ask for some help. The below passage from Luke was the Gospel reading at Catholic churches around the wide, wide world this week. I’ve heard it plenty of times, but on this hearing I noted two things I had not noticed before. I [...] das ist Nummerwang! O.K., it’s almost New Year’s Eve. You get to plan a party. A dinner party. Which living and/or historical figures would you choose to ring in 2010 with? And, to make it extra tricky you cannot choose Jesus H. Christ nor any of the original apostles. Share on Facebook Because my weekend includes not only a get together with Nia-Malika Henderson over at Poliltico’s offices in D.C., but a chance to schmooze with this guy. Share on Facebook Can anyone tell me the political beliefs of ANY of the NFL owners — including the views of multiple members of the various ownership groups? Beyond that when have the personal political views of ANY potential owner of a professional sports franchise of any professional sport been a litmus test for ownership??? Don’t [...] A colleague in my office was discussing his new phone, which he has dubbed “The Jesus Phone”, because – he explained – it does everything, up to and including being able to call God. Which led me to observe that God had better things to do than take my colleague’s calls. And, progressing further down [...] Excerpt from a speech. Can you guess who the speaker was? But that was not our plan. We wanted additional work for our unemployed and the use of the volume of their increased production to increase every man’s share in consumption. Wages are not based on production; production itself [...] Over at her blog, Shredded Cheddar (and that’s a great blog name, by the way), threedonia regular Enbrethiliel has “tagged” me with some internet meme thingamajig. I’ve never done one of these before, and I refuse to participate in the “send it immediately to 7 of your closest friends or your harline will recede and you [...] Quiz time… the dame on the left is a gimme, the middle one a little more arcane…. Share on Facebook So I saw Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds” for the first time yesterday. What the hell was that about?! Share on Facebook I have always felt kinda bad for Delaware. As John Powers observed in “The Last Catholic in America” (aka: the story of my childhood), the best way to get noticed is to be the engine or the caboose. Everything else? Nobody cares. Delaware finishes next to last to Rhode Island in the US Land Area [...] I have a student taking my exam who has the following image on his T-shirt. I may offer an “A” to him in exchange for it. Where is it from and what is it? Share on Facebook We have a commenter, Mac, who apparently supports President Obama and the direction he’s been leading the country. Or, at least Mac seems to not like former President Bush (“W,” not “H”). Mac has asked us to debate him. When asked to choose a topic for debate Mac has been silent, so, to help him [...] What the heck is “Watchmen?” I’m serious. I honestly have no idea and I want to know. I mean, I know it’s some kind of movie that’s coming out soon, and it has something to do with comic books, but I don’t have the foggiest notion what it is beyond that. Share on Facebook I’m blogging on the couch with one of the Firefly mongrels and she wants to know what your favorite breed of canine is and why? Share on Facebook Since the site’s all abuzz about Birthdays today how about a Birthday related quiz? What was your favorite Birthday gift? Why? Update: Apparently there seems to be some confusion about what is meant here based on some erroneous replies in the comments. Please note the word “was.” Not “is,” not “would be,” “was.” What was your favorite [...] Thanks to that last-minute Stillers TD, TRO wins the Threedonia Super Bowl Pool! Interesting choice. TRO is more of a semi-regular, regular. Good comments for sure, but I’ll be interested to see what sort of video (he? she? no clue) asks for. This assumes that TRO blows through to claim his/her prize. Looking through the by-laws, [...] It’s nearly SuperSunday! Who will win the Big Game? What will the final score be? Who will be the MVP? Share on Facebook It’s the game show everyone is playing, “Numberwang,” from “That Mitchell and Webb Look” And here it is in German for our Deutsch Sprecheners…
Share on Facebook Why do I use the above image for the Quiz Time! category? Do you know where it comes from? As always, no Googling. Share on Facebook If you could live anywhere in the United States, where would you live (you can play too, thud)? Assume you would have the means to earn an adequate living there, etc., but purely based on landscape, climate, geography, local culture, etc…, what’s your ideal, U.S. city? Share on Facebook What the devil does this mean?!?! and cause never was the reason for the evening, or the Tropic of Sir Galahad… Share on Facebook Who wrote the following words? The answer is below the fold. “When history looks back to this era it should recognize this generation as one which cared about human beings enough to halt the practice of war, to provide a decent living for every family, and to fulfill its responsibility to its children from the [...] Why 96 tears? Why not 94, or 97? Nothing in the song rhymes with six. Can you even count tears? I’ve seen people shed 1 tear, but once you’re past one it’s a question of duration, not quantity, isn’t it? Why 96?

My brother’s drive-by blogging this morning in the comments section of this old post got me to wondering what our pron-star names would be in these parts. (Bro dubbed himself “Lance Girth”, which is wishful thinking is oh-so-many ways). So I found one of those pron-star name generator thingys and went to work. [...] Now that we have a name for Floyd’s home please help us codify some of the other features of the Threedonia.com landscape. What should we name Outlaw’s Ford Mustang? Chuck’s toaster? Eric’s mustache? Share on Facebook O.K. now, Mr. Trivia, tell me where this related cultural reference is from: Card says, ‘Moops!’ (All Threedonia.com readers are welcome to play along, but NO googling!) Share on Facebook Toast as inspirational metaphor: Let us not settle for dry bread. Let us all aim for buttered toast. Words to work by. Brought to you by toast.

Please help me. I know one of Colin Powell’s reasons for dumping McCain was McCain’s V.P. pick; everyone says Biden is a foreign policy genius. Yet on page 307 of the daily paper I keep reading bizarr-o, kooky quotes from [...] Use the comments to tell the vast, Threedonia readership what McCain needs to do in the next four weeks to win?
