Um, you're not supposed to stand up in that shopping TRIVIA QUIZ!

Today is Frost Your Hair Day, a day for people who have never frosted their hair either to do it or to proclaim yourself a hair chicken.

Today is National Frozen Yogurt Day.

Today is National Cheese Day.

On this day in 1937, grocery chain owner Sylvan Goldman introduced the shopping cart at his Humpty Dumpty store in Oklahoma City. Goldman's first cart involved merely installing wheels and a basket on a folding chair.

On this day in 1967, Davy Jones, Peter Tork, Micky Dolenz, and Mike Nesmith won an Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series for their TV show, "The Monkees."


On this day in 1974, when the Cleveland Indians rallied to a 5-5 tie in the 9th, Cleveland's 10-cent beer night promotion resulted in chaos at the ballpark. More than 30 fans were arrested after a naked fan ran onto the field and picked a fight with Ranger Jeff Boroughs. The Indians forfeited the game and most teams discontinued beer night promotions after that.

Another sports trivia question? Why, yes! What's Magic Johnson's real first name?

Good luck :)

Ervin. or maybe Irvin.

I am bummed that the Monkees video is no longer available. I used to love that show! In fact the first record I ever owned was the Monkees.

Earvin is the answer!

Laine, nice work on that one! And I can still see that YouTube video. Maybe it's only blocked on east coast machines :) So how many records were there in your collection?
