It's a Brave New World. And Getting Braver and Newer All The Time

Have you seen this yet?



It's either completely amazing or really creepy depending on the mood I'm in when I watch it. (And yes, I've watched it more than once)

On the other hand, I may never have to fix my real life hair again. Do you think avatars wake up with bed-head?

Friday Flair - Looking Ahead

It's going to be an interesting week for the USA.

A HOLIDAY!

Then SOMEONE is getting a new TV show!! I'm not going to say who, but it's my celebrity bff and I'm so very excited!

Also SOMEONE is getting a new president!

(It says Slide To The Left! Now everybody clap your hands.)

Ok, Ok, fine. Here's my real button for Jan 20th.

And also this one. Very important.

I'm also watching this situation this week.

And this one, too.

Then, toward the end of the week, I'm looking forward to seeing this in my mailbox!

I think that about sums it up. Except for a couple of pieces of advice.

What? No Twizzlers?

This morning on the radio they were discussing a hypothetical Candy Hall of Fame. The idea being to choose the top 8 kinds of candy that were the most classic, most appealing of all time.

It was pretty funny. At one point I thought callers were about to climb through the phone to argue why the Baby Ruth should be included over the Butterfinger.

Here's what they ended up with:
M&Ms
Snickers
Reeses PB Cup
Hershey Bar
Lifesavers
Tootsie Pop
Jelly Bellies
Butterfinger

Among the many runners-up: Kraft Caramels, Pez, Milky Way, 3 Musketeers, Baby Ruth , and TWIZZLERS.

I'm still trying to process the shock. Is there anyone in the universe who would eat a Butterfinger over Twizzlers? And what about caramel? Can you imagine a Candy Hall of Fame with no caramel? I thought not.
We can do a much better job with this. So help me out.

Here's MY Proposed Candy Hall of Fame:

1. Hershey Bar - Is there anything more classic, and with wider appeal?
2. M&M's - they've definitely made their mark. (Although personally I'd prefer the Canadian Smarties.)
3. Snickers - not my favorite, but it's a classic.
4. Reeses Peanut Butter Cup - I mean, come on - there's NO wrong way to eat it. Unless you start in the middle and make a big mess. That would be very wrong.
5. Twizzlers - I'm totally bumping the Lifesavers on this because of the longevity factor. Does anyone under the age of 60 buy Lifesavers anymore?
6. Tootsie Pop - Well, they're still running the SAME commercial from 40 years ago. I think you've got to call that classic.
7. Rolos or Kraft Caramels - I can't decide whether to go pure classic, or throw the chocolate in for wider appeal.
8. Jelly Bellies - I'm not sure these really belong here, but I can't think of anything that deserves the spot more.

These are not all my favorites, but by golly, they're classics. Your turn to chime in - tell me what I missed and what you would bump for it. Tomorrow I'll post the final list.

And if you've been reading for awhile, but never chimed in? This might be a good one. All opinions welcome. Well, all you know, nice opinions.
