No kidding? That's too cool.

The other day, I’m sitting in my office when my cell phone rings. While it’s not unusual for me to get a personal call during the work day, this one was from one of my crew who would ordinarily be at work. Immediately I thought, “damn, must be swell and I’m stuck here for the rest of the day.” Since I was in the middle of something, I let it ring thru to voicemail and checked it a few minutes later.

Listening to his message, I could hardly believe my ears. Apparently, he wasn’t at the beach, he was at home and happened to have the game show “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire” on TV while eating his lunch. The surprise came when he said that the game show actually used Riptionary.com as the one-thousand dollar question. Now that’s cool for sure, but what’s even more wicked is the cat on the hot seat actually got the question right.

Since the question was only worth a grand, I'd like to think it’s because Riptionary has somehow gained a following (or at least some awareness) in some circles of mainstream society. Then again, it could have just been dumb luck. Nahh - what are the odds of that?

Either way, to borrow a favorite expression from my good friend Nibblett, and incidentally the the one that called me, “that’s just too cool for words.”
