Hey friends it's Oz here for a roaming edition of The Oz Files. Tonight Leah has decided that we are going to talk about if I were to go on a road trip across the United States what 10 places wold I visit? Also what places would I avoid? Well let's dig in to this juicy subject! I would first have to visit San Fransisco, California I love that city. You have to go to Alcatraz take the ferry take the tour it's amazing it's long and it's oh so fab. There is a lot of stuff to do in the bay area but Alcatraz is my first destination. The second place I'd like to visit on this road trip would be the Space needle in Seattle, Washington. I have been to Seattle quite a few times but never been up in the needle that is something I have to do! Let's see here at number three we will drive down to SIN CITY better known as Las Vegas, Nevada. I mean there is a lot to do depending on what you like you might lose a lot of money or maybe you will feel pleasure I don't know that's just up to you! If your strapped on cash you can get a pay day loan no you go to a buffet sooo cheap and the food is sooo epic! As we travel through the United States Of America we find ourselves in Chicago. I would absolutely love to visit Wrigley Field the home of the Chicago Cubs that would be just a dream! that rounds out the fourth destination. Our next destination is going to be Hawaii oh baby the sun the water and the hula skirts! Need I say more? So at number six we land in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. I would so love to get a Philly cheese steak wow. My uncle Rich says they are oh soooooooooooo GOOOD! So that's something I would like to do. At number 7 we land down in New York, New York.

I don't care where I go in Texas I hear everything is bigger in Texas I would like to test that theory! At number nine we land in Sante Fe, New Mexico. I think I would like to visit New Mexico because it's one of those states that don't get a lot of pub. Oz would like to see what this is all about and maybe they have good tacos. Yes Oz loves his tacos soft or hard doesn't matter just let me scarf them down! We finally end our trip at number 10 and we land in beautiful San Diego, California.

Ummm I would also avoid the deep south at all costs just don't do it they will ask you for emergency credits so please oh please avoid the deep south Y'all! I think that about covers the places to avoid. Where would you go people lock in! Well until next time may the Oz always be with you so long!

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!
