Children's Book Has an Inappropriate Title? ("Tonight Show")

Children’s Book Has an Inappropriate Title? (“Tonight Show”)

Random Thoughts…

  • I gave “Spartan Ultimate Team Challenge” a shot last night and thought it had potential. I just wish they wouldn’t cut into the actual event with their personality packages. It takes you out of the moment.
  • Note to James Corden: Doesn’t Sting need a ride to work?
  • Does anyone know the end to the joke Tyrion started Sunday on “Game of Thrones”? If so, forward to me on Twitter: @gordonholmes

Random Thoughts…
