Graduation
Awards ceremony
Country Music Lyric Game!
I will read two lyrics, and you try to guess which is a real country song and which I made up. This is brought on by the ridiculous songs I hear on country radio stations. I like some country, a few limited songs by Kenny Chesney, Brad Paisley, and even a Garth Brooks tune or two. But seriously, could these lyrics be any more pandering?!

Corrections:
- John said that "less than 1% of the world's population" have thyroid problems leading to weight gain. This is not scientific or accurate. It's an uncommon problem, much less common than overeating and underexercising.
- John also said the wrong plant when talking about cocaine. Cocaine and chocolate are not the same plant. However, they are similar in addictive properties, and one makes you fat while the other makes you thin.

Corrections:
- UMD stands for Universal Media Disc, not Mini Disc like John said.
- Buena Park, CA, where John recorded from this week, is in Orange County, NOT L.A.! This is important when appraising homes (and when Josh and Priscilla want to be from Orange County-LOL). L.A. is about 100 yards away.
We got to over 100 FB group members! Now we want 1,000.
HBO - Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel
Banning sports in P.E. that have "clear-cut winners and losers" - dodgeball, musical chairs, even jumping rope without a rope?! Do kids need to learn to lose? Can good come from a little minor gym class humiliation?

Video Games - patapon 2
People who don't use iTunes? Why? IT'S FREE!
Entertainment - Star Trek, Wolverine, big summer movies out now
Scrubs - over for now, possible spin-offs, Braff's interview about it
Music - Pepper. Slightly Stoopid. Motley Crue's "Dr. Feelgood" album turns 20! I don't like the Crue, but it's strange that an album I remember - from it's release, to videos, to my cousin's cassette copy, is two decades old. By no means a classic though...
Sports
-Penguins playoff vs. Capitals. Crosby vs. Ovechkin, arguably two best players in hockey. Monday night's game they each had a hat trick, only 1 of 7 goals not scored by one of them. Lemieux/Gretzky? Hockey needs this for casual/playoff fans like me to watch regular season games. I'm into it! Pens up 3 games to 2.
-Brett Favre - released from Jets, not ruling out comeback with Vikings, maybe Packers. Working with a trainer... starting to become a sad glory hound. Comebacks like this, Jordan, Deion Sanders taint the legacy a little bit.
-LeBron James gets NBA MVP, led team in pts, rebs, blocks, steals, assists. NBA Playoffs in full swing, baseball a month in and the Pirates are worst in their division, again, as usual. The dark period between NFL seasons is decent this year. Pretty clear that pro football is America's favorite. NASCAR may sell more junk and merch, but few aren't diehards. I'm not anti-racing, but I'll never really watch more than a few laps a year.
-NFL Draft - Steelers picks

Local news in Rochester, NY = Racist.
What does it take to get something certified Organic or All Natural? (FDA.gov doesn't make it very easy to find out). What is trans fat? (Oil that keeps things fresher on shelves). What are the consequences of consuming "diet" or "light" products? (Tests in lab rats show addiction, cancer, but only in ridiculously large amounts. The flawed logic in this argument is stunning)
