Topic: Weird Wire™
Posted by ohryankelley at 11:29 AM EDTIn the spring of 2008 Dave Carroll and his band Sons of Maxwell were traveling on United Airlines for a one week tour when then noticed their guitars being thrown around the tarmac by United Airlines baggage handlers in Chicago. Since United Airlines took no responsibility in the destruction of Dave's guitar he came up with a creative way to protest United and tell his story, by creating three songs about his complaint and sharing them on YouTube. This is the first of those songs. Does this remind anyone else of the FreeCreditReport.com commercials?

Topic: Best Pets
Posted by ohryankelley at 11:01 AM EDTThis week's Best Pet comes to us from Gamesviller Ditzybrunette of Fitzgerald, GA. Meet the no nonsense, water bowl-squattin' Marzipan! Distinguishing Personality Traits Ditzybrunette says, "This is our 8-year-old Calico, Marzipan J. Kat. Marzipan is not very vocal when she wants attention, but by sitting in the water bowl she certainly expresses her opinion about it being empty. She will watch you walk around the room, never leaving the bowl and giving you dirty looks until you refill it for her. We have two rescue dogs that she does not tolerate any nonsense from. Marzipan will sit on the dining room chairs under the table and whack the dogs on the tail as they go by. These are not small dogs--one is a Golden Lab and the other is a Shepherd/Beagle mix. Seeing as how the chairs are pushed in they cannot get to her to retaliate! Marzipan loves to simply eat, sleep and train her owners."

Topic: Spam Bag
Posted by ohryankelley at 12:37 PM EDTFrom time to time we get a lot of weird requests and spam mail in the GV Members Inbox. We decided the best way to deal with all the spammers isn't to just "Send To Trash" but to share in the fun of openly mocking them with you, the GV community! Today we received a hot tip about some electronics parts from Marc... ______ Good Morning,My name is Joseph Taylor and I am looking for a starter house with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. I am a first time home buyer and I am looking for a house priced around $50,000 to $100,000 in Murrieta, California, but will consider other locations. Do you have any down payment assistance programs in the form of outright grants or low interest loans? Please email me with more information. Sincerely, Joseph ______ Hey Joseph, Thanks for reaching out for advice! Unfortunately, at this time, we're not offering grants or low-interest loans. Although, our recent winners will vouch that you can make some quick dough off us playing our free game shows. Even though Gamesville HQ is quite far from Murrieta, California (2,978 miles to be exact, according to Google Maps), we're nothing if not helpful -- so here's the skinny on your intended destination (based on 5 minutes of internet searching). First, you should know that according to a 2007 estimate, the median income for a household in the city was $78,883, and the median income for a family was $90,930 (thanks Wikipedia). Also, Murrieta ranked as the 44th safest city in the nation and remains the safest city in Riverside County, so you've made a great choice! Very best in your search! - Oh!

Topic: Best Pets
Posted by ohryankelley at 6:15 PM EDTThis week's Best Pets comes to us from Gamesviller Terriiwamoto of Richardson, TX. Meet her colorful couch potato pair, Sammy and Co-Co! Distinguishing Personality Traits Terriiwamoto says, "These are my boys Sammy and Co-Co. They are both lazy bums that can always be found just hanging out all day. These two are best buds and chase each other around for most of the day. They gorge themselves with food and have become typical male couch potatoes. Co-Co is the brown pretty boy; he is good looking and knows it. He's always strutting his stuff in front of the windows and attracting all the neighborhood cats. Sammy is my 'potty mouth' and trouble maker. You can always find him on the toilet trying to drink it dry. When all is said and done at the end of the day they curl up together and talk about what kind of havoc they can cause tomorrow!"
