Someone will be selected every Thursday, starting this week. So, Sign up and hopefully, I'll be seeing you.
Happy Birthday today to Vanessa Williams. She's 45. She was the first black Miss America, and the first Miss America to have her crown taken away because it was discovered that she posed nude prior to the Miss America competition (strictly against the rules).
She went on to a very successful singing and acting career, and these days, hardly anyone remembers the first runner-up who became the new Miss American when Williams was dethroned, but almost everyone knows Vanessa. I'm happy to report that Donald Trump, who now owns the Miss U.S.A. Pageant finally broke his silence today and ruled that Miss California, Carrie Prejean can keep her crown. Some photos have popped up of her which were shot before the Miss California Pageant. They're not exactly nude shots, but the liberals went after her after she answered a question during the Miss U.S.A. pageant, in which she said she didn't believe in same-sex marriage, and that marriage should be between a man and a woman. Trump said that although some of the photos were "racy", in general, they are "fine and lovely". I'm not a big Trump fan, but good call on this one. Let's hope Carrie follows in the footsteps of Vanessa Williams.Also, Happy Birthday to the great Yogi Berra. He's 84. Kix Brooks is 53 today.
This is Monica Wood. She's 52. 
This past weekend, in the middle of the night, she knocked on the door of a total stranger in Clearwater, Florida and ask for a cigarette. What makes the story even more bizarre, is that she was completely naked at the time. BayNews9-TV reports that when the deputies arrived a short time later, they found her walking around a mobile home park. By then, she had at least put on a pair of boxer shorts. Apparently, cigarettes have become SO expensive, smokers can't afford clothing anymore. Wood was charged with disorderly conduct.
Enrique Miramontes was 16 when he decided to start making what he hoped would someday be the world's biggest paper ball.
Now, at the age of 22, his big paper ball sits between his couch and his TV. It weighs over 200 pounds and it has it's own website. He has spent 2,015 hours on it, and spent $3,000.00 on masking tape to hold it all together. His girlfriend says she can barely roll it out of the way to clean, and she used to complain, but now she's used to it.
