I can just hear the photographer:
“Ok, everyone hold up your stuffed animals. That’s great…wait a minute. You in the front. What the heck is that? I told you to bring a stuffed bear! Now the picture is ruined!”

“Kelly McGillis, best known as Tom Cruise’s girlfriend in 1986’s Top Gun, has revealed to the Internet show Girl Rock! that she is single but no longer searching for a male companion.

Full Story

1984 sure sticks out in my mind as a time when people were censored. What?

In most, if not all, elevators (I guess I haven’t seen an elevator without one of these), there is a button to call the security desk. Typically used in instances where someone is stuck in an elevator, or when someone is creeping you out. But let’s look at what happens when someone gets on an elevator, let’s say the 8th floor, and instead of pressing the button labeled ‘1′, they hit the button with the picture of a phone on it and the intercom starts ringing to the security desk…

Inquiry part 1: Do you – a) press the ‘1′ button and ride the elevator down and politely tell the security folks you pressed the wrong button? or b) jump off the elevator, still on the 8th floor, giggling like a little school girl and wait for another elevator?

Let’s assume you chose option ‘b’ above. Once you get to the 1st floor and exit the elevator, you notice one of the security guards standing in front of the elevator you had pressed the intercom button in…

Inquiry part 2: Do you – a) walk over to the security guard and politely tell him you pressed the wrong button, but were too embarrassed to explain yourself over the intercom? or b) run the opposite way down the hallway, giggling like a little school girl while your fellow coworker, who rode the elevator down with you shouts to the security guard, “IT WAS HER! SHE PRESSED THE INTERCOM BUTTON! SHE’S GETTING AWAY!”
