We Have a Wiener!!!

We have our first Wiener of the New Year!!

Mary Pollard in front of her daughter Maggie

this week by a mere minute with the correct answer...
Emmitt Perry, Jr...aka Tyler "Madea" Perry.

I must have been living under a rock.....

but I had no clue to who he/she was until New Years Eve when we watched

"Madea's Big Happy Family" and although it is not Oscar quality....

I can guarantee you a couple of laughing fits

where you won't be able to suck in enough air to live another day.

-"Hellur!?" Tyler earned 130 million dollars last year topping

Forbes' list of highest paid men entertainers!

-Dad was constantly beating him as a kid....

which led him to change his name from Emmitt to Tyler

when he was 16 years old....to further distance himself from his Dad.

-Molested by a family member as a child...

and found out that his Dad had molested one of his friends.

-Never graduated from High School....but did obtain his GED.

-After watching an Oprah episode about the therapeutic benefits that creative writing had....he started writing and decided that this would be his future.

-Had a small role in a Star Trek film after being invited by director J.J. Abrams.

Think I will delve deeper into the Madea catalog this weekend.

Jim Bakker was this week's stumper.....

and yes he is back at it with his new wife selling crap on the Jim Bakker Show

from a 600 acre ranch in Branson, MO.....

of which he owns "nothing" due to the fact that he STILL owes the IRS a cool $6 million.

He even "looks" like a delusional homeless man!!

If you can find his show on your cable.... you need to check it out.....

reminds me of a SCTV bit.

"There's a sucker born every minute"........

--Grew up in Muskegon, MI

--He was sentenced to 45 years in prison after being convicted on all counts in his wire/mail fraud trial......of which he only served 5 years before being paroled!?!?

--Nelson owned Skydive Chicago in Ottawa, IL.

He was convicted of tax evasion and sentenced to ten years in federal prison for unreported income related to his international drug smuggling operation.

He too only served 5 years and was sprung early for good behavior.

Just in time to be killed in a skydiving accident a few years later.....

(fallllllowing in his brother's footsteps....whats the odds?)
Nelson was captain of the U.S. Olympic Skydiving Team in 1982.

So if you learned anything this week.....

you now know that there is a U.S. Olympic Skydiving Team.

--Heritage USA was a Christian theme and water park that operated from 1978 to 1989. It was the base of his original television show with Tammy Faye

and collected almost $1 million a week in donations!

Attracted 6 million visitors annually and was the top vacation destination only behind Disneyland and Disney World.
