Pick out a section in the new Cowboys stadium and see what kind of view you would have.  You are even able to use your mouse to look all around.

As you can see, I chose the nosebleed section.

Since my boardgame personality test said I’m most like Scrabble, I thought this would be an appropriate post.

Extreme isn’t a word that you would normally associate with a game of Scrabble but for these daredevils placing themselves on the precipice of danger is the only way to play.

Celebrating the 60th Anniversary of the popular board game these amazing pictures show how it hasn’t lost its appeal.

Here’s a game you might enjoy, it’s harder than it looks:

As the media keeps gushing on about how America has finally adopted tolerance as the great virtue, and that we’re all united now, let’s consider the Brave Catherine Vogt Experiment.

Catherine Vogt, 14, is an Illinois 8th grader, the daughter of a liberal mom and a conservative dad. She wanted to conduct an experiment in political tolerance and diversity of opinion at her school in the liberal suburb of Oak Park.

She noticed that fellow students at Gwendolyn Brooks Middle School overwhelmingly supported Barack Obama for president. His campaign kept preaching “inclusion,” and she decided to see how included she could be.

So just before the election, Catherine consulted with her history teacher, then bravely wore a unique T-shirt to school and recorded the comments of teachers and students in her journal. The T-shirt bore the simple yet quite subversive words drawn with a red marker:

Here’s the last photo of Elivis.

We may not really care what our view is when we use the loo.

But maybe we should – for according to the World Toilet Organisation we spend three years of our lives on the throne.

And that fact was enough to set author Luke Barclay off on a mission to flush out the planet’s best loos with a view.

How many Baptists does it take to change a light bulb?

Change?!?! What do you mean, change?

I was reminded of that joke as I read this article that stated the Baptist General Convention of Texas is deferring action on changing their name.

And to be honest, I don’t think I’ve ever played this game.

You Are Scrabble

You are incredibly clever and witty. You can talk your way out of (and into) situations easily. You are an excellent decision maker. You are good at weighing the options in front of you. You’re the type of person who can make something out of nothing. You are very resourceful. You know a lot of things. Most importantly, you know when people are wrong – even when they won’t admit it.

• NFL on Thursday nights is stupid.
• 30 Rock was great last night, I enjoyed seeing the Night Court cast more than I enjoyed seeing Jennifer Aniston.
• Watching thing in HD sure is interesting.  When I saw Jennifer Aniston raise her arms up in the air once I could see under arm hair stubble.
• I think the original Night Court set was used for this episode.
• Harry Anderson looked aged, Markie Post looked great for her age, and the guy that played Mac looked just about right.
• The John Larroquette reference was funny, but I wish Bull would have made an appearance.
• Mac even said “Court adjourned” at an appropriate moment.  Good times.
• Kenneth has got to be the best supporting character in TV.
• I have to credit my friend Bone for this one.  But you can start calling us Allas since none of our sports teams have an D.
• I haven’t watched ER in years, but Anthony Edwards made me come back for a sentimental visit.
• Eric LaSalle, out of character, even made an appearance.
• Everytime I think of Eric LasSalle, I think of Coming to America and Souuuuuul Glowwww.
• ER started my senior year in high school back in 1994.
• It’s weird coming back and watching a series you haven’t watched in so long, and it’s interesting to see what characters are still around.
• I liked the story line, a flashback,
• Heck, even Kerry Weaver and her cane made an appearance.
• And Robert Romano and his ill-tempered attitude.
• Angela Bassett deserves an Emmy for this episode.
• I got wrapped up in the moment and cried.  I think all of the ER stuff reminded me of my mother who had to be rushed to a trauma unit exactly two years ago, she later died on the 17th.  She was 58.  I also remember how awkward all the after death paperwork and protocol was.
