Room 1391: The Kennedy Center Honors

They make me cry.

Also, I wonder if Barbra Streisand knows who Ne-Yo is.

Also, I wonder who designed the actual Kennedy Center Honors medal.

Also, I wonder if George W. Bush hates going to these things.

Also, I wonder if Twyla Tharp could look more embarrassed.

Also, I wonder why they didn't honor The Who and not specifically Roger Daltry and Pete Townsend. Just because the other two are dead doesn't mean they don't also deserve props.

Also, I wonder why they didn't say "The Electric Company" or "Easy Reader" during Morgan Freeman's segment. Instead, they said "children's television show" and showed him playing a vampire bathing in a casket.

Also, I wonder if anyone else left the room during George Jones' part.

Room 946: The World According to Gorp

Gorp aka Trail Mix aka Peanuts, Raisins and M&Ms.

Want to know what Gorp means? It means Good Old Raisins and Peanuts. And I knew that. I don't know why. But the big question is: why no love for the M&Ms? Shouldn't it be Gormp? (Apparently, the M&Ms were added later where they quickly out-shined the other two ingredients which led to massive discarding of raisins and peanuts.)

OK. Just checked Wikipedia. It can also be Granola Oats Raisins and Peanuts or Gobs of Raw Protein. The next big question is: Gorp has a Wikipedia entry? I guess it existed for the sole purpose to verify my claims that it meant Good Old Raisins and Peanuts (or Good Ole Raisins and Peanuts back in Dickensian times). For the record, I didn't write the Wikipedia entry.
