America’s funnyman, Bob Hope, turned 100 today. Hope according to his daughter Linda was a kid more than a parent and to all those who know him, he’s an ad-libbing, wise-cracking man who has entertained millions throughout his life time. His earliest of beginnings were in Vaudeville in the 1920s which eventually led to his own radio show and various television appearances. To Hope, television was “vaudeville in a box” and garnered him guest spots on The Tonight Show and the Golden Girls.

Who is up for a game of Monopoly? America’s favorite board game, where you control land and mortgage options. Not to mention trying to sucker someone into not buying Boardwalk or Parkplace so you can gain financial superiority. It’s a game granted, but a game that provides lots of entertainment and casual bitterment.
If you’re bored of just plain Monopoly, you might be able to find a special custom-flavored version in these various forms: (which, by the way actually exist)
Townopoly: Monopoly tailored specifically for landmarks for your area.
Religionoply: This is where religion and Monopoly clash to form a spiritually-fun time.

Pie in a Jar is a entreprenuer internet-powered business where anyone can purchase for a “mere” $19.95 a Pie in a Jar. According to the site’s owner, he said this concept was originally conceived by an old Gypsy woman who he found one night while taking a shortcut through Graven’s Pet Semetary.
Not really the story that is displayed on the site, but hey, I tried to add some sort of suspense and interest to how it was conceptualized. In reality, it was an old woman who suggested the idea of how ingenious it would be to sell an entire pie in a jar. I don’t believe she considered the Internet as it’s starting grounds but probably a more down home setting like alongside the road in one of those misshapen lemonade-type stands.

“So you think you can write a better A-Team episode than those crazy writers did, do you? Well, let’s start the process with some baby steps.” It’s an A-Team Mad Lib, sucka.
Speaking of Madlibs, the other day I purchased a 3-pack from the store. I didn’t even know that they were still being made. Madlibs were a fun pasttime that I can remember sharing with my cousins and family. Although, I remember the urgency to complete the ‘lib coupled with the confusion as to what an adjective was. “What’s an adjective?”, they would exclaim. “A describing word, you fool.”
