Random Question of the Day

I saw The Wedding Singer again for the 50th time the other night, and had this question pop up: Would it have hurt Billy Idol's street cred to be flying first class?

My wife and I were discussing one of her cousins' posting something on Facebook regarding an interaction with the Hansons.  Frankly, I had no idea the band was still around -- I'll be sure to pass that along to one of my good friends, who once noted that it was bands like Hanson that destroyed any chance he had at a musical career.  And I had no idea that meeting the Hansons would be considered newsworthy.  Then again, I once bragged about talking with Chris Matthews on a train, so what do I know?

Anyway, the entire exchange triggered a thought.  In the wake of the sad news regarding Bret Michaels, I immediately made a link between Poison and Hanson, which is admittedly difficult to do.  I started wondering which song using the word "bop" in the title is ultimately more annoying: Poison's "Unskinny Bop" or Hanson's "MMMBop."  My wife correctly pointed out another contender for the honor: Cindy Lauper's "She Bop".

This is a question that I'm not sure I can answer.  We could spend hours debating this, and I'm not even sure I could eliminate any of the contenders.  Anyway, I figured Al Gore's Interweb might provide an authoritative opinion on this, so I thought I'd post the question.  I'm hoping one of my three readers will weigh in.

There is one thing of which I am certain -- all three songs are far better than anything ever produced by the Scorpions.

The fall season of TV has started, but I have several more months to wait for the next season of Lost. But I'm wondering -- if Lost ended by having Gilligan (yes, I know Bob Denver is dead, but this is Lost), the Professor and Mary Ann rescue the survivors of Flight 815, would I be disappointed? Or intrigued?

In the Crayola 64 box that I had when growing up, why was there a Burnt Siena and a Raw Siena, but no Siena?
