Africa, the greatest country in South America?

I love Family Feud! Making fun of people's bad answers is one of my favorite past times, petty I know, but I just don't care. Look, people say very stupid things and it's awesome. For example, one guy responded "Cupid" when asked to name a word that begins with "Q" or this one... "Name a word that starts with 'heavy'" and a guy responded, "Heavy D" Yes, Heavy D the rapper. I know I slip and say stupid thing too, but not like this next one...

Today was the greatest answer of all time. The question was "Name a country in South America." A lady rang the buzzer and said, "Africa!" She then looked disappointed when it wasn't a correct answer. What???? When I took a class on the History of African Art my teacher joked about how often people think Africa is a country. I do not think, however, she could have ever dreamed that someone would say Africa was a county in South America. Ha ha ha!

Okay, I can't help myself. Here's one more for the road. The question: "Name something you lug to the beach." The lady's answer: "The sun."

I love Family Feud! I love it, I love it, I love it! *that was a SNL reference.

My old blog has been resurrected!

That's right! For all the fans of my old blog The Zombie Spotlight....it's come back from the dead! I decided to restart it because it's so awesome. In reality I think I was the only one that thought it was funny, but that's a good enough reason for me! I won't be posting on it all the time, just when I feel like it. Feel free to follow it, read old posts, laugh, cry, call an old friend, make peace with an enemy and listen to some world music. THE ZOMBIE SPOTLIGHT IS BACK...BOO-YAH!!!!

Cover Me - Easy

I completely forgot I was doing a feature on my blog called "Cover Me" where I share covers of songs that I think are interesting. Well, let's get back to it! This one is about the song Easy by The Commodores, which was written by Lionel Richie. Have you heard the cover by Faith No More? It's so good! I thought this would be a fun one to discuss. Faith No More was an extremely influential band back in the day that mastered experimental metal. During their 1992 tour for Angel Dust (which I happen to see) they started playing a cover of Easy. Eventually they recorded Easy and released it as a B-side. The result was so bizarre because it wasn't bizarre. They didn't create some weird metal version, but instead a very accurate rendition of the original Commodores version. Mike Patton's voice is awesome and I think it took a lot of people by surprise. Now-a-days tons of people like myself are big Mike Patton fans and know just how amazing his vocal range is because of bands like Mr. Bungle and Fantomas. The video for Easy cracks me up because it's so dated. Oh the early 90s...how I don't miss you!

Zombie Charlie Sheen, Sexy Freddy Krueger & a Cute Bunny

I love Halloween so much! Here was Team Wimmer's 2009 Halloween costumes...REPRESENT!


Cordelia: Insanely cute Bunny! Can you believe this is my daughter? I love her!


Maria: Making fun of sorority girl style "sexy angel, devil, nurse, etc." thought it would be funny to dress up as Sexy Freddy Krueger! Ha ha!


Me: Zombie Charlie Sheen...boo-yah! I nailed it. This is one of my all-time favorites and that's saying a lot because in the past I've been things like "Ghost of the Titanic" and "the death of Disco"!


Later the night turned into me wearing the Freddy glove as Zombie Charlie Sheen and saying hello to Cordelia. Poor girl. You can't choose your parents!
