Arm's Length Photo of the Week!
This week's photo is one I treasure. It is an arm's length photo of me at Water Country USA- one of the best places on earth. I am actually considering having my wedding reception there someday when I get married. I mean, I just love it there that much!
Take a look at all those people having a whale of a time in the wave pool! That's another thing I love about Water Country USA. That wave pool! Complete fun in the sun!
Little Debbie Zebra Cakes Rule the School!
Question: What are the top selling products?
(On a side note, you really can't beat the Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes. )

McKee Foods Corporation, a privately held, family-run company based in Collegedale, Tennessee, has sold more than 157 billion Little Debbie® snacks since the brand became available in 1960. If you lined up all those snacks, that would cover over 9.9 million miles — enough to circle the Earth almost 400 times! That's also enough snack cakes to stretch to the moon and back more than 41 times!
Little Debbie® snacks have even orbited the earth on the space shuttle, traveling more than 17,500 miles an hour.
Little Debbie® Fudge Brownies were one of Elvis Presley’s favorite snacks.
Little Debbie® Oatmeal Creme Pies had a supporting role in the Disney family adventure Honey, I Shrunk the Kids in 1989.
The Little Debbie® brand is better known than its parent company. In 1960, the company founders O.D. and Ruth McKee decided to create a brand for the products they were selling and chose to name it after one of their grandchildren - four-year-old Debbie. The original image of Debbie used on packaging and advertising was based on a black and white photo of Debbie in her favorite outfit. Atlanta artist, Pearl Mann, did the original color artwork. She made young Debbie look older, around eight or nine. Minor changes were made to the logo in 1987.

Meet Rebecca Dick! Director of Pop Culture and Television!
Director, Television and Pop Culture
http://www.washingtonpost.com/ -- because there's news and stuff. And because I like to do sudoku.
http://www.tvtattle.com/-- because I am obsessed with television.
http://www.ew.com/ -- because I am obsessed with...entertainment.
Yes. If you put scraps of wrapping paper through the shredder, it makes nifty filler for gift bags.
Oh, you have got to be kidding me. I love TONS of TV shows! Can I give you a top 5?! Okay, in no particular order, but as close to an order as I can do: Friday Night Lights, The Office, Brothers and Sisters, Grey's Anatomy, Ugly Betty. WAIT. I need a separate category for reality shows: Survivor, The Amazing Race, America's Next Top Model, Project Runway, and, um...oh, American Idol, of course. I need a life.
Why do you think restaurants put pickles on plates? This is an excellent question, Mayor, and one that I feel I am uniquely qualified to answer, seeing as how I am from Pittsburgh, home of Heinz pickles (don't tell them I don't love ketchup, though...) Did you know that pickles are mentioned in the bible? Also, did you know that pickles are technically a fruit? I think, you know, if it can't be baked into some sort of delicious dessert, it shouldn't be considered a fruit, but no one asked me. Anyway, I'm rambling because I realize that I don't know why they put pickles with sandwiches. But you can find lots of pickle information here: http://www.ilovepickles.org/index.html -- they're located in DC...field trip?
If you had the chance, would you go to Mars (feel free to elaborate)? Um, no, probably not. I've heard it's pretty cold there. Plus I don't like long flights. I mean, I'll go on them to go to, like, Hawaii, but I'd probably pass on Mars. Maybe that's lame or whatever, but, I mean, what is there to do on Mars? Nothing fun, I bet. It's probably like Nebraska or Fredericksburg.
Meet Gary! Music Information Specialist!

Facebook (for scrabulous)
Do you like paper shredders and why?

Action Park - because they have water slides, tubing, and go carts!

Baby Corn Freak Out!
- Baby corn is just immature ears of regular corn
- Baby corn ears are picked by hand immediately when the silks emerge from the ear tips or a few days after.
- Depending on the variety, kernals can be white, yellow, blue or even pink!
- Corn matures quickly, so the harvest must be timed carefully to avoid ending up with normal corn ears.
- Baby corn ears are generally 4.5cm to 10cm in length and 7mm to 17mm in diameter.
- Baby corn is an important crop from Thailand and Taiwan.
- Baby corn is typically eaten whole, cob and all, in contrast to mature corn, whose cob is typically too hard for human consumption.
- It is consumed both raw and cooked.
I thought making this list might convince me that it is safe to eat these baby corn cobs, but I'm still not convinced. Do you know there are actual pamphlets and websites devoted to baby corn? I'm so scared right now. Baby corn frightens me almost as much as capers do.
