There will be lots of excitement at the Trocadero, as I will be hosting Movie Monday, with the highly regarded High Fidelity playing. I will be hosting the premiere edition of Wheel of Terrific at 7:30 p.m., your chance to win a variety of prizes for knowing movie trivia, performing charades, or just plain being lucky. It’s going to be completely ludicrous, and quite possibly disastrous. There’s only one way to find out. Be at the Trocadero at 7:30 p.m. tonight.

Today is Kenny Roger’s birthday. His Greatest Hits album was the first record I ever owned (Yes, I was a little redneck, and yes, I’m old enough to have had a record player as a child). Anyways, that inspires our question of the week: What band wrote the song Islands in the Stream, which was made famous by Kenny and Dolly?

After mulling over the details of the case for just under a minute, Johnny Goodtimes changed his mind a few moments ago and decided that JM Karr is innocent. “Yeah, he just wants attention. It wasn’t him. I, possessing an uncanny foresight, can see through his little game. He wants us to think he did it, but I happen to know the human mind a little better than you people, so I know what he’s up to.”

I’ve got an appointment, but I’ll be back to post photos this afternoon. In the meantime, check out today’s Metro. My man Chip Chantry got interviewed. He’ll be appearing with me this Monday at Movie Monday at the Troc, as we act out scenes in some of the greatest movies ever and you have to guess which movies they are. More details forthcoming.

I’ll have results from this week’s quizzo manana, ’cause it’s too nice to not go to the ballgame today (did you think the life of leisure thing was a joke?) But here’s the article that kind of inspired the literature round. Fun article about the original titles of books. It’s where I found out that F. Scott wanted the Great Gatsby to be called Trimalchio in West Egg. Meanwhile, there was a lot of fuss about Indianapolis in terms of Daylights Savings Time. Here’s the thing: After years of not having DST, Indiana just passed a law this year that makes them have it. A few counties are still central standard, but Indianapolis is not one of them. A lot of you missed the Average Homeboy, which means that, apparently, nobody reads this website, since I talk about him all the time. Here is the interview I did with him. You must watch the average homeboy video if you haven’t already. And of course there will be all new questions tonight.

One of my favorite poets would be turning 86 today. He’s one of those guys people tend to either love or hate. But at the very least, I suggest you drink a cheap beer and read a little bit of his stuff today.

…If the Amish want a little bit of claipping (number 2 definition) revenge? Well, tonight would be a great opportunity for them to throw rocks at someone

It’s Wednesday, and you know what that means. Yep, I’ve got Spanish class with my ridiculously hot and tragically married Spanish teacher. So I’ll have to holla back in the afternoon. But here’s a couple of things to tide you over. Dan over at Blinq discovers a poll that reveals that the people of this region are a bunch of idiots. I think these people just polled hipsters and Jerseyites to get these results. And the lovely Ginger, aka beer lass Suzanne, is featured in this week’s Philadelphia Weekly, which discusses her beer club for women. I’m totally gonna crash one of their parties. Hot girls who join a club to drink beer? I checked out the myspace page, and I think I’m in love with about nine of them.
