Happy Holiday

Just wanted to take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy holiday tomorrow.

You do know that tomorrow is a national holdiay, right?

Okay, so it's not an official holiday...but it should be.

Tomorrow, shortly after noon eastern standard time, the 2009 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament will begin.

That's right...

It's March Madness!

I love this time of year, and I love the fact that so many of the people I love love this time of year too!

Anyway, happy holiday!

If you need me tomorrow or Friday, I will be at home, soaking it all in...

Growing Pains-Growing Up

I saw the movie Fireproof a few weeks ago (which was very good, by the way) and saw actor Kirk Cameron.  It reminded me of one of my favorite shows growing up--Growing Pains.  I was doing some searching online about Kirk a few minutes ago, and I came across a cast reunion interview on Larry King Live.  The second segment of the show was the most interesting.  If you feel so inclined, you can watch it here.  The interesting part is right at the beginning.  When the video begins, Larry has just asked Kirk what he has been up to since the show ended.  Kirk's response (and Larry's subsequent response to Kirk's response) is rather interesting.  (If you really have some time on your hands, keep watching until they start talking about the show in China.)

Sit back and have yourself a Poke

I was thinking the other day.

After I finished doing that, something occurred to me.  In these days of economic turmoil, it is not all that unusual of an occurrence for two big name companies to merge into one.  Take Sirius Satellite Radio and XM Satellite Radio or Northwest Airlines and Delta Airlines as cases in point.  Wouldn't it be unique if they merged the companies' names as well?  You know, like Sirium Satellite Radio or Northwelta Airlines?  With that in mind, I spent the next few minutes (I won't tell how many) coming up with some unusual combinations (You can add your own in the comments section, if you have a good one):

GooHoo (Google and Yahoo, I also like Yoogle)
My Face (MySpace and Facebook)
Poke (Pepsi and Coke)
Tar-Mart (Target and Wal-Mart, I also like Wal-et)
Puggies (Pampers and Huggies, I also like Hampers)
Pickr (Picasa and Flickr, Flicasa just didn't sound right)
Paudi (Porsche and Audi)
TGI Tuesday's (I'm gonna let you guess on that one--could call it Ruby Friday's)
Hotwitz (Hotwire and Orbitz)
Cony (Canon and Sony)

Oh well, maybe one day things will get interesting...
