2. Cell phones work almost everywhere, even in the mountains and on top of the Matterhorn.

5. Pharmacies sell maple syrup.

6. A child's name must be on an approved list. Swiss parents do not have the freedom to name a kid "Apple" or "Brian Johnson". Resident foreigners can be exempted from this rule, but you must obtain an official statement from an embassy that attests that the name is acceptable in the other country.

Dave’s Top 7 things that I love & hate equally about the holidays

1. Music – I’m down with SOME Christmas music but since I’m a music superfan, I need a lot more variety. “White Christmas” sounds so much better after it’s been shuffled with some Zero 7.

2. Working – There used to be a time where it was really hard for me to get in the Holiday Spirit and oddly the only time I started to get into it was at work. Some people would decorate their workspaces and be generally a little happier. The flip side of that is that I think it’s insane to expect any REAL productivity from your staff from December 23 to January 2.

3. Food – I love the food during the holidays. From Thanksgiving on it’s basically an eating contest. You haven’t had this kind of food in about a year so you are hungry for it. And if you are lucky like me, you have family and friends who are great cooks (I’m looking at you V & T, Maria & Dad). The trouble comes when I get on the mat for class afterwards. I curse every bite as we do crunches and pushups.

4. Family – Let me start by saying I love my extended family. From Thanksgiving on I am fortunate to see most of my family and in-laws. For the most part, we more than just get along. But as time goes on you start to remember why you all don’t live in the same house anymore. I have this saying “Your parents know what buttons to push because they installed them”

5. Movies – I love the movies that they roll out during the holidays. It’s sort of like the summer except they aren’t blockbusters. Studios know that families are collecting everywhere and a lot of them are going to movies. This is also the starting point for films that studios want to push for Oscar nods. So the chances are good that you will end up seeing something cool or something that actually may be worth while. The problem with the holiday movie season is that boy, they roll out some dreck too.

6. Shopping – I’m a weird guy in a sense that I actually don’t mind going to a mall. Just not during the holidays. I tell myself each year that I’m going to shop exclusively online just to break that promise to myself later. Still, as painful an experience shopping can be this time of year, you still can’t beat that perfect gift for someone you know.

7. Holiday Specials on TV – I consider myself a child of the Rankin/Bass era of Holiday Specials. I’m talking “Santa Claus Is Coming To Town” & “Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer”. I love all that stop-motion, cheaply made animation. I’m also a big fan of “It’s A Wonderful Life”. And I love that they are still just as popular today as they were years ago. What I don’t like is melodrama or what is inevitably another Hallmark holiday special being rolled out.

Brian's Top 7 things to do on David's Birthday:

1. She claims to have “ramblaphobia”: the fear of engaging in conversation with someone who just rambles aimlessly, and yet she continues to call into the show.

2. She said that she’d like to hold a degree in being a movie critic, and we may have to put her to task in our new segment that includes movie reviews. Check in with us next week.

3. She sticks to her guns so much that she hung a jury, but not enough to keep a German officer from stealing her lighter and smokes.

4. She keeps her toilet paper rolls tightly attached to the wall to avoid a possible frivolous lawsuit.

5. She listed this as one of her Top 7 Party Fouls: Being a Republican in College.

6. She thinks the word “cyborg” is really cool.

7. She knows a lot about dogs, and the favorite fact that she taught me is that there are dogs that have been bred to hunt puffins.

Dave’s Top 7 Things David would like for his birthday

1. Chargers win Superbowl

2. New cell phone

3. Someone else to finish the “to do” list at his house

4. Consistently hit at the driving range like he did in Rhode Island

5. Go to a Kings Of Leon show

6. Taekwondo & Hapkido Black Belt

7. A synthesizer or keyboard to hook up to his computer

Brian's Top 7 things to do on David's Birthday:

1. Buy him a drink after the show.

2. Have a special fashion segment just for him

3. Present him with some birthday related data

4. Tell him someone else who has a birthday on the same day as him and include a favorable comparison

5. In the spirit of David’s love of technology, tell him one technological fact relevant to this date or birthdays

6. Celebrate a greener birthday this year by skipping the gifts this year and donate money to David’s favorite charity in his name. I’m just kidding. I think that the rest of the year is for doing something self-less, but the birthday is for giving a gift to the person with the birthday.

7. Actually play some music during the show, especially The Clash or The Ramones.

6 & 7 are my washer & dryer. I love them, I love the convenience and I can’t even imagine life before them, but the laundry still piles up because I just don’t want to do it and I resent the time it takes …

At number 5 are all the electric kitchen gadgets that make life so much easier, but you have to build an addition to your house to store the stuff that you might use 2 or 3 times a year.

GPS comes in at 4 – on one hand I love GPS units especially because I hate driving in places I’m not familiar with, but I can tell you there have been times when I’ve driven around in circles following the directions from the damn thing as well.

3 is the remote control. I love being able to control everything in my entertainment unit, but just one accidental push of a button and it’s like Humpty Dumpty falling off the wall and I’m losing my mind trying to get it all back together again.

At number 2 is my cell phone charger. I love my cell phone but I hate remembering to charge it and then pack the charger when I go away, even for a few days. I hate that all cell phones don’t use one universal charger, so if I forget mine or I need one in a pinch I can just use someone else’s.

My number 1 love/hate relationship is with my computer … I could NOT live without my computer until something goes wrong …. I also have a saying taped to my monitor at work that reads “A computer lets you make more mistakes faster than any invention in human history - with the possible exceptions of handguns and tequila”.

Vic's Top 7 Stupid Law Suits

1. A man filed a suit against Wendy's because it was negligent in operating an "unreasonably dangerous" toilet paper dispenser. Evidently when he pulled on the toilet paper, the dispenser gave away, causing the cover to open and the oversize rolls of toilet paper to fall, striking and seriously injuring the plaintiff's right hand," the suit said the man has suffered and will continue to suffer bodily injuries requiring medical treatment and related expenses, physical pain and suffering, mental anguish, emotional distress and that the incident has diminished his ability to enjoy life.

2. An "occasional" golfer has sued a golf course for failing to warn about the course's yardage-markers after his ball bounced off one on the 11th hole and struck him in the right eye.

3. A woman who was "distracted by the displays of jewelery and shoes exhibited in the entrance of the store" has sued the store after she tripped over the threshold.

4. After a Tennessee woman gave a cheeseburger to a homeless man outside a restaurant, he shouted, threw the burger at her, and said he just wanted money. She called him an "ungrateful bastard," and he attacked her. She is now suing the restaurant and a neighboring liquor store for providing "an environment to crime."

5. A man and his wife are suing McDonalds after he left his cell phone there and nude pictures of his wife ended up on the internet. They're suing for $3 million for suffering, embarrassment, and the cost of moving to a new home.

6. A California man is suing KFC over a recent popular grilled chicken giveaway. The suit claims the April giveaway was a clever scam to trick customers into spending more money. The giveaway, which was promoted on the Oprah Show evidently generated more demand than KFC could supply. So even though customers who didn't get the free food were given vouchers; the man says that's not good enough. The suit calls the tactic "bait and switch" and said customers incurred "travel costs, paper and printing costs, postage, the money they spent on other food items at KFC when they had intended to redeem the coupon and the loss of the value of the promised meal.

7. The driver of a minivan who was seriously injured when she was struck head-on by a drag-racing teenager doing 81 in a 30 mph zone is being sued by the teenager's passenger, who was also injured. A lawsuit filed in Salem, MA Superior Court suggests that the victim carelessly and negligently failed to avoid the collision with the other vehicle head on.

4. At number four is spork, that wonderful spoon/fork creature that became all the rage with fast food restaurants.

5. My number five is smog, the combination of smoke and fog.

6. At six is motel, a blend of motor and hotel. I also always thought this word was pronounced 'model' when I was younger . and by younger I mean my teens!

The same moon appears three days in succession, but the one that appears on Saturday is the one that receives this name.

Dave's Top 7 things to do to get hit by lightning

1. If you are inside, talk on your land line telephone. The phone lines can conduct lightning strikes.

2. Better yet, sit on the toilet. This way you are sitting right in the path of a direct ground.

3. Stand outside. The very act of being outside during a thunderstorm highly increases your chances of being struck by lightning.

4. Once outside, make sure that you are the highest point. Try the top of hills or rooftops.

5. Once on top of the hill, take refuge under a tree as the tree may be hit and explode.

6. Hold a lightning rod, or stand near one. The electricity goes through the umbrella, golf club, etc. into you

7. Be a man. For reasons unexplained, a 1999 study revealed that 84% of lightning fatalities between 1959 through 1994 were men. Men also accounted for 82% of injuries caused by lightning during the same time span.

Dave's Top 7 Dog Stories

1. Peanut – When he was much younger, he and Quinn would chase squirrels in the back yard. One time he actually caught one. He waited for me to get home, and like an incredibly proud boy, ran outside then ran back in and plopped the dead squirrel at my feet. They say dogs can’t smile, but he clearly was. He was aching for praise from me which of course I just had to give him.

2. Quinn – Quinn was one of many shelter dogs that I’ve had through the years. As usual, you just don’t know what you’re gonna get or what baggage they have. In Quinn’s case, it was apparent that he wasn’t used to open spaces. The first few weeks he was at the house, whenever I was talking a shower, he would steal my underwear from my pile of clothes and bring them outside. He would then find the exact middle of the yard and sit there until I retrieved my underwear.

3. Odin – The only dog I ever knew was born in the wrong century. Odin couldn’t stand electronic devices. He barked incessantly whenever he heard the microwave timer or printer being used. In fact, you always knew you called my house when I answered the phone “SHUT UP!!.....hello?”

4. Babe – after Vic & Tim put together this lobster feast, everyone was in the kitchen as waited in the livingroom. Babe walked in, looked at me then proceeded to lick up all the melted butter from the table. My only response was to yell-question Vic “Is it okay if Babe eats all this butter?”

5. Newton – I truly believe that Newton was a gang leader in a former life. If he could where a leather jacket and roll up a pack of cigarettes in his sleeve, he would. He was a pretty laid back dog, but pretty willful. The first week we had him home after adopting him, he was recovering from his surgery to make sure there wouldn’t be any more Newtons (a requirement to adopt). The postman came to the house to try and slide the mail through the door and Newton ripped the mail from his hand and tried to shred it all in the livingroom. Most of it was recovered except for one envelope – the vet bill. We were so proud.

6. Bigfoot – We didn’t know the name of this dog, but he would always come around our house when I lived in Newport. He was a big Yellow Lab with the biggest feet we’ve ever seen. He would sometimes spend the night and hang out with Odin all day. We came to find out later that all the tenants in the apartment house we were living at, including the landlord, were all feeding him and letting him stay over in their places too. None of us knew his name and what was funny is that we all named him Bigfoot.

7. Murphy – Murphy was an all white mid sized fluffy dog that we took from another family because it wasn’t working out with her in their house. She wasn’t the fiercest beast in the world, but one day when we were all playing on the street, she was just hanging out watching. A man came by walking his Doberman to try and intimidate us and keep us clear of his yard. We sat still paralyzed with fear when the Doberman made the mistake of going up to sniff my brother. Murphy bolted from the porch and lunged at the dog barking her head off. The Doberman ran away yipping down the street and we all laughed at the man as he chased after his dog.

Top 7 Things tricks that we wish our dogs would do:

1. Stop marking inside

2. Punch other people in the chest/face on command

3. Not punch me in the chest/face

4. Play with a ball/Frisbee/anything

5. Clean up dirt/pee stains/his own hair

6. Take himself out

7. Give himself a bath

Top 7 Music Predictions for 2009

1. Feeling spurned by Robert Plant, the rest of Led Zeppelin kick off their 2009 world tour at the Reading Festival by introducing their new lead singer – actor Morgan Freeman. His narration of “Stairway To Heaven” receives a standing ovation.

2. During the halftime show at this year’s Super Bowl, Bruce Springsteen becomes so inspired by the audience reaction that he decides to recreate one of his legendary live shows – turning the originally scheduled 19 minute show into a marathon three and a half hours. Afterwards, the competing teams decide to just flip a coin to determine who wins.

3. With the resurgence of vinyl album sales, scrambling & misguided record labels decide to reissue their entire CD catalogs remixed with scratches and pops in the background. They are then ripped down into files by college students and posted on P2P servers where they are shared for free.

4. Tired of their squeaky clean image, the Jonas Brothers strong-arm their way to the 2009 lineup of Ozzfest. On the day of their first show, they take the stage following the band System Of A Down and don’t even make it through their first song before they are pelted by water bottles filled with urine.

5. After the dismal sales of “Chinese Democracy”, Axl spirals into a drug induced black hole and checks himself into rehab. He cleans himself up and releases a crappy acoustic album called “Appetite For Jesus”

6. Angered by the refusal of Danger Mouse to produce their next album, Rivers Cuomo makes mashups of all the songs from Weezer’s “Blue Album” and “Green Album” and creates one of the years best reviewed releases – “The Teal Album”

7. Although Johnny Marr and Morrissey have vehemently denied the rumors, The Smiths will reunite at this years Coachella Festival, kicking off a world tour.

3. Telling me that I can get out once I print this form, and then putting me in a room full of empty toner cartridges that look like they’ll work and a really slow computer that constantly needs to be re-started.

4. Being forced to drive a bus full of little screaming girls that have been told that we’re on the way to the Jonas Brothers concert, and I’m really tired.

3. Blue balls. Ouch! What’s so bad about a happy ending? You could save the dress like Monika.

4. The Wikipedia definition of blue: The modern English word blue comes from the Middle English, bleu or blwe, which came from an Old French word bleu of Germanic origin (Frankish or possibly Old High German blao, "shining"). Bleu replaced Old English blaw. The root of these variations was the Proto-Germanic blæwaz, which was also the root of the Old Norse word bla and the modern Icelandic blár, and the Scandinavian word blå, but it can refer to other colours. A Scots and Scottish English word for "blue-grey" is blae, from the Middle English bla ("dark blue," from the Old English blæd). Ancient Greek lacked a word for colour blue and Homer called the colour of the sea "wine dark", except that the word kyanos (cyan) was used for dark blue enamel.

5. Blue Man Group. What is with those guys? Imagine sitting around with some friends thinking of what you could do to make some money. I know! We could paint ourselves blue and do silly things. Oh Yeah! Where do I sign? They went out with Pentium III commercials.

6. Sara Palin’s Blue suit. It’s the only thing I’ve ever seen her wear. I’m no Mr. Blackwell, but those sharp folded-up collars do nothing for her.

7. The Smurfs. I have always hated the Smurfs. See what in- breeding can do?

6. Jonathan Carroll – He writes wildly imaginative books that force your imagination to kick into high gear.

7. Carl Hiaasen– He’s the creator and king of the “crazy whacked out state of Florida” genre. His books are hilarious and I look forward each new one that comes out. He would be number one on my list if he wrote about the “crazy whacked out state of Rhode Island”.

Dave

1. Contrails – A cirrus-like trail of condensed water vapor produced at high altitudes where extremely cold temperatures freeze water droplets before they can evaporate.

2. Cirrus Clouds - The most common form of high-level clouds are thin and often wispy. Cirrus clouds are usually white and predict fair weather.

3. Lenticular Clouds - Lenticular clouds form on the downwind side of mountains. Air moves up and over a mountain, and at the point where the air goes past the mountaintop the lenticular cloud forms, and then the air evaporates on the side farther away from the mountains.

4. Cirrocumulus Clouds - They are small rounded puffs that usually appear in long rows. If these clouds cover a lot of the sky, it is called a "mackerel sky" because the sky looks like the scales of a fish. Cirrocumulus are usually seen in the winter time and indicate fair, but cold weather.

5. Fair Weather Cumulus Clouds - Have the appearance of floating cotton with a flat base and have a lifetime of 5-40 minutes.

6. Billow Clouds - Look like breaking waves in the ocean. After wind blows up and over a barrier, like a mountain, the air continues flowing through the atmosphere in a pattern that looks like a wave. These clouds form when there is a difference in the wind speed or direction between two wind currents in the atmosphere.

7. Stratocumulus Clouds - These clouds are low, lumpy, and gray. Most form in rows with the rest of the sky visible in between. Precipitation rarely occurs with stratocumulus clouds.

5. Textiles – I have tons of great ideas about clothing and how I can never find what I like. If only knew how to make what I want.

6. Law – so I could be eligible to get a job as commissioner of the NBA. It would also be useful to know more about patent law.

3. I'd like to have a degree in designing and building miniature models for movies. Whenever I see a documentary or one of those "the making of" pieces about a movie, I'm always "I wanna do that!"

4. Urban Planning — Every time I drive down some stretch of road that is nothing but a huge strip mall with traffic lights every 10 feet or wait to get out of some store lot for 20 or 30 minutes because you have to cross traffic, or lay on the horn because my exit is 2 feet from an entrance ramp and nobody ever yields I want to kill the morons that designed it all. Most planning or lack of it is so awful. It certainly explains why people keep crossbows and baseball bats in their cars.

5. I'd love to have a degree in book reviewing .What a great job — reading and either praising or beating the crap out of some really bad read.

6. Archeology — I really love how archeologist come up with these theories to explain how ancient people and animals lived and then make the evidence support it. The shape of this never before uncovered ankle bone of T-Rex indicates that T-Rex was a great dancer. That would be great! That and getting paid to play in the dirt — yeah!

Vic (filling in for Dave)

1. This is something that Mom has always told us and still does today and I’m not sure if its more her wish for us than advice … but she always tells us to stay close to each other and hold family close. “You’ll never be alone when your family is close.” This one I do try to live by. Plus I’m hoping Thomas and Megan will support us out of guilt if not love.

2. Another one that might seem cliché but was true was this … study hard and get a good education. She always wanted us to be able to take care of ourselves.

3. Take care of yourself first seems kind of trite but it’s actually some of the best advice she’s given to all of us.

4. This one is kind of strange … Mom always told use we should learn to type. (Am I dating myself here?). And actually it was more than advice because she made us go to summer school and take typing!

5. Be happy … I guess all mom’s give that advice to their kids, but it does mean a lot.

6. Another one that I always took to heart was “Never marry a man who doesn’t treat his mother with respect”.

7. Mom always said “If you can’t say something nice … don’t say anything at all”. I’ve tried but I have to say, I haven’t always succeeded.

3. Upgrading my work machine from a 286 to a 386. Went from 16 bit to 32 bit processor. Also year’s later, going from 128 to 256 MG in memory. People actually thought that we had more machine than we could use.

4. The Movie “TRON”. It had the first real computer graphics I’d seen and it was about being inside a video game. I’m happy to announce that Pixar is filming “TRON, The Next Chapter” with the writers from the TV show Lost.

5. Working on mainframes – VAX 8600, 8800 (now the DEC Alpha) and getting the first look at the CRAY when it came out.

4. They'll freaking give these things away to anyone!

5. Isn't it great how we can celebrate ourselves so publicly?

6. I would like to thank my lovely wife for all her love and support

(Top 7 Excuses heard during by others to avoid helping your friends move--based on actual observations)

1. A shipping company came this evening (during the show) to pick up my truck and ship it to California

2. One of my college roommates got so hammered the night before, and was so hung over, she could not do anything.

3. In college, get your roommates to move your stuff because you did not make it back to school yet

4. The guy showed up at the after party and explained that his back hurts and he could not have helped (he then proceeds to dance).

5. “I am going out of town because my mother’s friend’s dog is under the weather”

6. “This is the last time I am going to help you move…”

7. “I need to go home to put the grass clippings at the curb because I don’t like the smell…”

Dave
(Top 7 Things You Need to Do to Move)

1. Call DirecTv and let them know where you want your new dish

2. Call your ISP and have them hook you up (w/Fios if possible) BEFORE you move in.

3. Stock your bathrooms first, then one room to act as command central. Unpack your bedroom then the other rooms as you have time.

4. Move largest things into rooms first (furniture, etc). Then boxes & smaller stuff.

5. Pack the truck so that the heavy stuff is there when you open the door. Don’t leave it for last in the back of the truck.

6. Anything that can go in a box should. Don’t resort to moving “arm loads” of stuff at a time.

7. If you are moving in winter, make sure the heat works, AC in summer

1. There is nothing special about celebrating Valentine's as it is expected (marginalized value to significant other)

4. Don't want to set the bar too high

5. Flowers cost double

6. A long line at the KFC

7. Either way, you are going to make your girlfriend or wife angry

Dave

1. It’s really for new couples or people hoping to be couples. I don’t expect to pick a day of the year for you to list the reasons you think we’re still together after 10, 20 , 30 years. But since we do have it, just to have balance in the universe, shouldn’t we also have Senitnelav Day? A day where we pause and figure out if we should split up? Would you wait to get to a special calendar day to divorce someone? No! Then why should you have to expect to profess your love one a special day?

2. After a few weeks, dead roses don’t make you feel like you’re loved more.

3. The inequity of it all. Guys must shell out big bucks on seasonally priced traditional items and are lucky to get a card in return.

4. It’s always on the 14th, not always on a weekend which complicates planning

5. Assumes that you can only show how much you love someone on this one day
