Happy Halloween......
Remember the old days when.....
there was no such thing as Trick or Treating hours....
apples came with razors....
pennies in your bag wasn't a bad thing...
(just kidding Mom)
and you could never find that house
giving away cold cans of pop.
Boo.

We've got a Wiener!!
Home Run for Mz. Maggie Pollard this week who was in first
in front of all of her blood relatives and an
O'Connor or two.
James Richard "Jim" Leyland was the correct answer.
This former Sox coach brought me much misery last weekend and
I'm not sure I am over it yet.......always liked him though.
But obviously no love lost for a skinny Barry Bonds in the
video above.
Felt bad for him and Detroit and their cast of characters.
This should have been their year for a lot of reasons.....
including Max's.

We've got a Wiener!!!
What's better than winning Trivia Tuesday you ask?
Winning it with several Pollards close on your heels.
The winning title goes to Nancy Jane McNally this week
who pulled in just moments ahead of the field with
Paul Frederic Simon &
Arthur Ira Garfunkel
Above is a scary version of Sound of Silence which was written in
response to the JFK assassination.....
It was released by Simon & Garfunky as an acoustic version
but the album bombed....
they broke up in 1964....
and Simon moved to England.
A producer of the original track added drums,
electric bass and guitars to it
a year later with both Simon & Garfunkster
unaware of this remix.
It hits #1 in January 1966.....
Simon had to move back from England and
reform the duo.
This launched them into super-stardom.
Sometimes a good song needs a little luck.
Sound of Silence is the 18th most recorded
song of the 20th Century
in case you were wondering.

The previous world record was set by a German female team, which consisted of 84 members.
