Lost In Sin!

Hey friends it's Oz here for a wandering edition of The Oz Files. Leah has decided since I do get lost on occasion hasn't happened a lot but wants to know the strangest place I've been lost or the funnies memory of being lost? I have great memories of all my "adventures"! However there is one story that has to be told even though it did happen in VIVA Las Vegas. So I'll set this story up for you all. Went to Vegas for a college newspaper conference while I was going to SFCC and we had a great time. So the group of us that went to Vegas were drinking having a good time and we go to several hotels checking them out. Well Hannah and myself were really hungry so we decided we needed to hit up the buffet at the MGM Grand. We get there we sit down and the dude there is like did you pay and I'm like where do you pay? Dude said way in the back oh I say where i can't see. So the dude thinks I'm paying for both but I"m not so I pay for mine the dude gives us two plates. So Hannah is like should I pay and I tell her no they think I paid for ya or so that's what we thought. So we had a good time eating our butts off and she even had more than I did she went for the big pancakes we had to wait til 10pm for the pancake buffet to open up but she did her thing. I was might impressed I gave her the props she rightly deserved. So now it was game time Hannah gave me that look and asked should we just walk out I said just act casual walk down those stairs calm and I'll follow. So we did just that and Hannah got a free meal so that was great. So we are trying to get back to our hotel which was off the strip but right across from the Hard Rock Hotel. It's pitch black outside and we are walking down the strip hoping that we were going the right way. Hannah and I had some arguments about the whole thing . So were walking down our marry way and I say let's turn this way so we did and she thought it was the wrong way and it wasn't ha so I was right for once when it comes to directions. Then we came to a light and she's like I think we have to go straight and I'm like lets turn and she's like no Oz. So we go her way and we are hoping we are going the right direction and well EVENTUALLY we got to where we wanted that was back at the hotel. Our group was like what took you guys so long and were like ummm Hannah got a free meal at the MGM she was hogging down the food and we kinda got lost getting back! But Hannah Said we were both half right on the directions so we were able to get back to the hotel with very little problems but at the time I was like please GOD find the way back home! So there ya go my story all of it true. Oh Man I almost forgot about this story I'll make short and sweet but this is soo memorable. My mom my friend james and myself were going to Seattle for the weekend to watch the Seattle Marienrs. We got to Olympia we were trying to get to our friends house which was just a little outside of Olympia. Boy those maps sure aren't handy because um we went around the State Captiola like 11 or 12 times I kid you not! I was laughing my ass off my mom wasn't sooo thrilled she was freaiking out. That same night the Seattle Mariners traded away Randy Johnson to Houston as that was announced we just kept going around and around the captiol building oh my goodness cuh a great time. We eventually had to stop at a pay phone and called them and our friends husband drove down and showed us the way. Ha wow what a great time I was in high school at the tiem maybe in middle school but wow what a great adventure. So have you been lost and how did you like it? Well until next time may the Oz always be with you so long!

Destination Spokane Washington USA!

Hey friends it's Oz here for a Spokane Washington edition of The Oz Files. Leah finally came up with a topic after some roadblocks but here we go. The topic is what about Spokane do I most like and what are the main places for visitors to enjoy? I have lived in Spokane most of my life I believe we moved here when I was 1 or 2 years old. Spokane has a lot of great amenities but I will focus on one sole category and go into what makes it so great. The city of Spokane has a lot of great local sports teams. In the winter time you got the Spokane Chieeeeeeeeeefs hockey going on which goes through March or April. Going to a chiefs game is so electric the body checks the fights the scoring and the booing it's all part of what makes going to chiefs so amazing. They play in the Spokane Arena which is home to the Spokane Shock and host several other events. In the fall we got the Spokane Shock which is the A2 league AKA Arena Football 2 league. Think of it as the minor leagues of Arena Football. I've been to one shock game and boy oh boy it was an electric atmosphere. The Shock are also a good fun team to watch they won the whole ball of wax in there first year that was quite a great moment. One of my favorite things to do in Spokane are going to the Spokane Indians games at Avista Stadium. They are the A short season farm team for the Texas Rangers oh that is baseball just in case you have been under a rock. The summers in Spokane are fabulous with the great Indians teams each and every year. To learn more about the Spokane Indians you may want to reference The Oz Scammer blog. The best thing about Spokane for me is none other than the Gonzaga Bulldogs Basketball fever! Some people around here on bandwagon Gonzaga fans Not I haven't missed a game since 1998 and that was before they were any good. That means I had games blasting on the radio. Huge thing in town but those are things I like most about Spokane if I had to choose one so I put it in one category. If your new in town or are visiting Spokane I will give you a few stops to check out. The first place I would have you go is Riverfront Park. There is tons to do feed the ducks, go to the IMAX, go on some rides or have a picnic and much much more. I would catch a show at the IMB definitely a must you will have a great time. Is eating on your mind you can't go wrong with Red Robin downtown then head on over to AMC to catch a movie or two. Lots of stuff to do in Spokane um not really but definitely go bowling! What do you think of Spokane? Well until next time may the Oz always be with you so long!

Fortune Is It In You!

Hey friends it's oz here for a wheel of fortune edition of The Oz Files. Leah was eating Chinese today I had it last night so this is pretty ironic. She has decided for me to write about fortune cookies what are my thoughts on them and have I gotten any fortunes that have come true? I have sobered up a bit after tonight's festivities. I will start by saying Chinese food is very tasty and satisfying. The fortune cookie sometimes you stare at it and wonder what's inside that cookie? A fortune of course are they bogus yes but it's all fun and games. I was reading through some online threads about fortune cookie quote because I don't remember a fortune cookie quotes and no they haven't come true for me. However I was reading the threads and this girl got a fortune cookie that said you or a close friend of yours will get married next year and she got married and her quote was WOWZAS! There was one that was kind of funny and nutty that said you will lose three pairs of socks next week and that did not happen. My favorite from the thread I was reading was you will be invited to sing karaoke. Now folks let me tell ya that is some magical stuff right there yes siree Bob! I honestly can't tell you any recent fortune cookie quotes because I really don't care. I think the Chinese gymnasts are on steroids. Now what do I really think of fortune cookies? I think they are tasty but tare filled with a lot of crap that people actually thin may happen to them. Think of a fortune cookie as desert with a kick. You get the cookie and you get a meaningless piece of paper that tells you your so called fortune. People I hate to beat this like a dead horse but Ir's all lies and nobody believes this unless your from China so YAO Ming you will be rich one day. Oh wait you already are my bad so I guess that fortune cookie did not work too well! What are your thoughts on this subject? Have you ever had any fortune cookie come true or any weired ones? Well until next time may the Oz always be with you so long!

A Can Of Corn!

Hey friends it's Oz here for a fly ball edition of The Oz Files. Today is once again free write Friday and Chad host of Team Trivia At Morty's on the South Hill Wednesdays at 830 to 1030 come out a great time has come up with a great topic. In baseball when a lazy fly ball is hit and caught it's called a can of corn. Chad wants to know why is it called a can of corn? I have done the proper research and I think you will find it intriguing indeed. So how did the catch phrase can of corn get it's name in big league lights? Well Let's go over some ideas where it may have originated from. Was baseball played in the cornfields of Iowa so when a fly ball was launched into orbit they said that's a can of corn nice and easy. Maybe the phrase can of corn came from farmers at the harvest who in there free time played baseball and said oh that's a can of corn yummy! Word on the street Can Of Corn came from an old wives tale the boys were playing in the back yard and when they saw the ball go into flight they knew it was an easy play and they call hmm just like a can of corn. Those are all great ideas but they are oz stories and I'm glad you enjoyed them as much as the Great Oz! This is the real story behind the Can Of Corn. An easily-caught fly ball. Supposedly comes from a general store clerk reaching up and dropping a can from a high shelf. Frequently used by Chicago White Sox broadcaster Ken "The Hawk" Harrelson. Also, a phrase used in the expression of mild excitement, general agreement or indication from one person to another that completion of said task is in order. What does Oz make of all this a general store clerk reaching up and dropping a can of corn? I think it's quit odd how this came about but so be it the phrase has stuck ever since. That's how it is and that's how it's always gone be you gotta problem with that you got me to deal with! What do you think of the Can Of Corn Origin? Well until next time may the Oz always be with you so long!

Fast Food Oh The Agony!

Hey friends it's Oz here for a tasty edition of The Oz Files! Leah has decided to make this a fast food debate. The topic fast food is it amazing or amazingly disgusting what is my opinion? So the debate has been raging for decades on this exact same issue. Where does the Oz stand on this issue? We will find out I may not have a stance I may take both sides and come up with a middle ground we will see. We in America are known for our food and to be more specific the fast food variety. We as a people of this great nation are always on the go and sometimes you have to stop somewhere to get a bite to eat. We don't have time to sit down and eat somewhere so what's the next best option? That's right fast food is where it's at and people really enjoy it. Some people eat out more than half the time in a given week. There are a lot of different choices to pick from. You got McDonald's, Burger King, Arby's, Jack In The Box,Taco Time, Taco Bell,Subway,Quiznos,Bruchi's and so much more. With that being said there are some choices that are good like Subway and Taco Time for the most part pretty healthy. You have the burger joints and let me tell ya they are tasty but healthy um not so much but still people do enjoy them and they are definitely a booming business. To sum it up for the case for fastood being amazing is your in a hurry and you gotta eat on the go why not do a little fast food? I wouldn't do it all the time but once in awhile is good in moderation. The case for fast food to be amazingly disgusting. Fast Food is known to be the leading cause of Obesity in the United States well I don't know but that's my story and I'm sticking to it. A few years back in Spokane Jack In The Box had to close down for a few days because there was an E coli outbreak that swept the city and everyone was in an uproar. After a few days all was well and now Jack In The Box hasn't lost a step even though there service is quite slow downtown but on division quit solid! Another reason fast food could be amazingly disgusting is that it costs you money if you keep going and going like the energizer bunny! Don't get me wrong fast food is good food but you might go broke if you keep at it. Summing up the case against fast food is it costs you where it really hurts and most importantly for the most part fast food isn't healthy for you. Where does the Oz stand on this whole heated debate? I'll tell ya where I stand and that is on the fence. You heard it here folks the Oz is on the fence and this is why. I believe that fast food is good in moderation and would be bad if you went out constantly. So in my case I do the fast food thing like twice a week which is pretty good. I do the Subway thing on Sunday after church love that tuna. Fridays go to the Rocket Bakery for a tuna sandwitch with Ice tea and other stuff. So all in all it's good and bad but whatever you choose do it with care for your body and your wallet. Milk it does a body good! What is your stance on the fast food debate? Well until next time may the Oz always be with you so long!

They Call Me Survivor Man!

Hey friends it's Oz here for a reality check edition of The Oz Files. Today Leah has decided that since I'm like into the big reality shows that the topic is if I could be on any reality show what would it be and why? Now since I am one hell of a singer American Idol always comes to mind but no that wouldn't be my #1 choice but definitely a close second. How about dancing with the stars? Um not so much I dance like a white boy so I guess enough said on that subject. Maybe I would love to be on The Amazing Race love that show but unfortunately I wouldn't be able to keep up but tune into CBS Sundays at 8pm be there or be square. I think when it all boils down to it I would like to be on none other than Survivor! I haven't missed any episodes since season 1 same with American Idol! I think that meeting complete strangers and trying to co-exist with them for 39 days would be something I would be digging. The sole purpose of the game outwit outplay outlast be the sole survivor and be handed that one million dollar tax free check on the early show the next day. Jeff Probst the host is pretty kick ass. I think the alliances that are made and broken and then blindsides are quite amazing. The hidden immunity idols make the game that much intriguing. Some people make there own idols and hide and people think ti's real and they play it at tribal and get burned! It's a funny show and really damn popular they do two shows a year! The challenges are great immunity challenges and rewards. Some people have one SUV's and cars and some are just amazing rewards to go on or receive. Survivor is dangerous lots of people have had to go home because of serious life threatening injures happens at least once a year. Last year happened twice it was quite a sad day in survivor land! Also it's a good life experience and you get to be on TV in front of millions. Well this is my choice and I would like to meet Ryan Seacrest amazing! Anyways these are my thoughts on this whole topic! What reality show would you be on and why? Well until next time may the Oz always be with you so long!
