Speaking of game shows, LB's audition is tomorrow. We should tell her trivia, so she will be ready.

Trivia? Venezuela is probably the only country in the world which is named after a city in another country (Venice in Italy). Probably, because there is some dispute as to whether the name of Syria comes from Assyria or whether it derives from the city of Ṣūr (Tyre) which is currently in Lebanon.

Has anyone here linked Farrah Fawcett's appearance on the Dating Game? Swoon.

I hold absolutely no brief for Polanski, who ought to be in jail, but I don't think he actually murdered anybody.

There was a funny Jon Hamm on a 90s dating show recently. But 1996 looks just like 2014 so who can really say.

Specifically, the past is one of those countries where you want to go for vacation because the drinks are cheaper and the locals seem so much friendlier. But then you realize the level of exploitation behind all that.

Just to note another great quote from the linked piece: "I was jealous and I killed her, in a way," Çalınak said.

I now have a certain Cole Porter tune going through my head.

I've seen the one where Jennifer Granholm was on the dating game. She later became governor of Michigan.

Gah, that link in 14 is excruciatingly awkward. I guess I'm not really the target audience for dating shows.

Would this be the moment to say that in the food market here you can get Beaver Pie? Wild Beaver Pie in fact; none of that factory farming nonsense.

Happy Mothers Day where applicable. Remember to uphold tradition by spending the day with your children so dad can play Minecraft.

Or, alternatively:

She had it coming
She had it coming
She only had herself to blame,
If you'd have been there,
If you'd have seen it,
I bet you you would have done the same.
