Re: Loose Cannon: Trivial Pursuits, Direct Newsline, January 12, 2004

“Trivial Pursuit” was almost too much fun for a Monday morning, but only almost. To my horror, however (because my kids tell me I have a mind like a steel trap…at least for meaningless drivel), I had no idea how to answer 2-4. I guess I’m just not plugged in enough; either that or senility is coming sooner than I’d like. And you forgot my favorite “Real Men of Genius” character, Mr. Way Too Much Cologne Wearer (“everywhere a splish splash”). You can almost smell him over the airwaves, but only almost. Thank God.

In Baltimore, there is a company called Mash’s Hams, but their commercials for low salt cured hams used the line ‘ Throw away the ‘S,’ that stands for salt.”
