The 17th annual CELEBRITY MASCOT GAMES are taking place on July 16th at Stetson University, and July 17th and 18th at Amway Arena in central Florida.

Each year since 1992, mascots from colleges, universities, and professional sports organizations have gotten together to prove, once and for all, who is the best mascot.

Some of the events the mascots have had to compete in the past were the obstacle course, giant bowling, dodgeball and jousting. If you haven’t seen the clips on ESPN SportsCenter, you will this week.

Everyone who uses Twitter knows that Twitter limits all tweets to 140-characters.

That means some people get very creative with their abbreviations and phrasing in order to squeeze every last bit of information into those 140-characters.

But even with that restriction, it is possible to write TWECIPES aka COOKING RECIPES in those 140 characters.

CELEBRITY BLIND ITEMS are those little teases you might see in US or People magazines, or the tabloid section of your favorite local newspaper (such as Page 6 for you New Yorkers).

While they won’t tell you exactly who the gossip is about, the blind item usually gives enough information for the reader to figure out on their own who the gossip-worthy celebrity is.

How To Find Your Lost Wallet

Post author By web gangsta

Find? How about “get it returned”?

A study in England dropped 240 wallets around town to see which wallets would get returned.

The wallets didn’t contain any money or other useful items, just receipts or ticket stubs.

However, there was one key difference in each wallet, which is what the study was all about: DOES THE PHOTO YOU CARRY IN YOUR WALLET INCREASE THE LIKELIHOOD THAT THE WALLET WOULD BE RETURNED?

The answer to that question, apparently, is “yes”.

In 2nd place were the British
3rd place went to Canadians
The French fell to the bottom of the list, mainly due to being perceived as bad tippers and being impolite.
Americans, Italians, and Spanish are the loudest tourists

Improving Disney Shopping, Part 4: Tigger Watch 2011

Post author By web gangsta
Post date July 9, 2009

When Web Watch last wrote on the topic of IMPROVING DISNEY SHOPPING, we noted how Disney merchandising was starting to turn the giant ship around into more favorable shopping options for fans.

And with last month’s news about the NEW WINNIE THE POOH FEATURE FILM BEING RELEASED IN 2011, Web Watch thought that this will be a great time for a case study to see whether Disney really is looking at how to properly merchandise their franchises.

Why a case study, and why “Tigger Watch” instead of “Winnie the Pooh Watch”?
