@Haphazard, I have the following questions about Mike "the Situation" Sorrentino, who was apparently just ousted from Dancing With the Stars (a show I've never seen and thus a cultural trend I've opted out of, along with Jersey Shore, Glee, American Idol, The Hills, and various programs about desperate and/or real housewives):
1. Is he the Situation or are his abs the Situation? I once heard two people debate this point and found it oddly fascinating.
2. Do his friends call him Situation? Situaish? The?
3. How do we -- you, me, America -- get back the time we've spent thinking about this guy?
What familiar saying with seven words has seven consonants in a row? The answer is a common saying, in ordinary English. Sometimes it's expressed in nine words rather than seven, but it's the same saying. And either way, in one spot it has seven consecutive consonants. What saying is it?
Last week: Name something in seven letters that most people keep in their homes. Take the first, third, fourth and seventh letters and rearrange them. The result will be a four-letter word naming something that the seven-letter thing is commonly used for. What is it?
Highlight for answer: Aspirin, pain
Two weeks ago: The name of what character, familiar to everyone, contains each of the five vowels (A, E, I, O and U) exactly once? The answer consists of two words — eight letters in the first word, four letters in the second.
Highlight for answer: Question mark
Three weeks ago: Name a well-known person from the 20th century who held an important position. Take the first and last letters of this person's last name, change each of them to the next letter of the alphabet, and you'll get the last name of another famous person who held the same position sometime after the first one. Who is it?
Greatest leadoff man of all time and Rickey Henderson

A friend of mine produced this hilarious look at a sad era in American history. After lighting up Broadway and playing live on HBO, it's now out on DVD. Click the image to get yourself a copy. You'll love it.

I can honestly say that even spending months trapped in a mine would not compel me to watch "Jersey Shore."
And FREE, too!
The miners got free, or the television was?
Oh, sorry-- Unclear Prose. tsk.
I was responding to your 'i.e., now they're Americans.' A bit in the spirit of celebration.....

If I knew who/what The Situation was, I could probably answer your question. In this case, ignorance is indeed bliss.
