something new

Here in CT, a radio station does a little "skit" called "loser of the week" where people call in and vote for someone in the news that is considered the loser of the week.. some people call in and nominate the person who cut them off in traffic, some call in for their bosses..lol... but mostly people in the news.... So, I got to thinking ... that is a cool way to learn what is going on in the different places we all live... unfortunately, the news is hardly good these days.. so I was thinking if we found one loser of the week and one winner of the week from our news in our locations, it would be interesting. Anywhoo.. here are mine: LOSER(S) http://www.wfsb.com/news/13762474/detail.html This was all over the news, CNN, MSNBC, and is just awful... they are my losers of the century.

Great idea Becky..

GR is boring. but someone got stabbed nearish my house the other day, so that was bad. good news: it wasnt me.

comment on Kellee's post: bad: you're a dork. good: glad it wasn't you that got stabbed.

I'm near the ghetto. (*singing* the ghettttttttttooooo) just look at all the shopping carts lying around yards in my area. its proof.

also, local traffic seems to be ok, so thats good. http://www.woodtv.com/Global/story.asp?S=5229685
