If it doesn't fit, you must TRIVIA QUIZ!

Today is Andy Griffith Day, sponsored by The Andy Griffith Show Rerun Watchers Club, marking the TV show’s debut on October 3, 1960. There are now some 900 local rerun watchers clubs.

Today is Mickey Mouse Club Day, marking debut of the first TV series starring Annette Funicello and Shelley Fabaras on this date in 1955. A later version starred Keri Russell, Christina Aguilera, and Britney Spears.

Today is National Carmel Custard Day. Um, what?

On this day in 1991, a burglar who looted a Newark, New Jersey, home left behind an important clue, his 4-year-old daughter. When police arrived they found the child in the house crying for Daddy. Wow, and it wasn't even "take your child to work" day!

On this day in 1995, the US adjusted to the decision of a Los Angeles jury who found O.J. Simpson not guilty of murdering his ex-wife Nicole Brown and waiter Ronald Goldman. Some 107 million people watched TV news coverage of the verdict. Simpson was later found liable in a civil trial.


Some vocab trivia: what are you afraid of if you suffer from lachanophobia?

Good luck :)

That would be fear of vegetables, bringing to mind the woman on Maury who was afraid of pickles. Literally flipped her shit onstage when he brought out a plate of pickles, it was weird...

Yup, vegetables it is! And also, if I were that pickle lady, I would NOT work in a restaurant!!!

Ok so I'm a few weeks late here, but I just watched the Maury clip on You Tube. That is the most absurd thing I've ever seen in my life. That can't be real, can it? And I agree - very bad decision to be a waitress!
