You're workning in a sunny Texas market, and you do a story on the Iditarod Race in Alaska just because somebody in your viewing area has a neice who's married to a guy that's from Colorado that's running his dogs in the race.
Sad, but true =)

This could be a fun thread... anybody got anything any lamer? Let's hear it!

Keep Rollin'

"Thats a good story."

I'm sure to be there in the afternoon right after Jellico and his reporter finish interviewing that "somebody".

Maybe, they'll let me nat pack it? Since all the reporters are going off on vacation at once now that the book is over.
