23 SEP 03: QUESTION TIME

I have no answers for today's questions. Maybe you do. I'm merely asking them....

+ In the BellSouth commercials where everything in town is cut in half, why does the dog have four legs? Shouldn't it only have two?

+ Why does WRBL need three anchors for its new hour of news at 5:00 p.m.? Most networks can get by with one or two. Is this a sign of weakening bodies in this part of the country?

+ Why wasn't Kinnett Stadium's name changed after the dairy was sold a few years ago? Couldn't the school district charge a fee for "Parmalat Stadium" and make extra money?

+ Do stores such as Winn-Dixie and CVS realize their "customer card" programs with big discounts unwittingly fulfill the "mark of the beast" prophecy of the book of Revelation - or at least bring it awfully close?

(If you're like I was Monday, and you don't realize until you're inside Winn-Dixie that you left your customer card at home, don't you feel like the biggest idiot in town?)

+ Why are Phenix City Central football games televised on TV-16 by tape-delay, while Shaw High School games aren't? Hasn't Shaw had the better overall record in recent years?

+ Who is Sidney Simons, and why does he have a boulevard named after him? Shouldn't there be signs along streets like this, explaining who the people are?

+ Why is Jim Foster giving away albums of what he calls "cowboy music" these days during his morning gospel show on WMLF-AM? Couldn't this reasonably be called backsliding?

+ Why is NASCAR having a second weekend of races at Talladega before having its weekend in Kansas City? Do they want blowing leaves covering the drivers' windshields?

+ If WRBL is so thrilled to have Rozelle back on the air, why are her "classic" shows appearing at 6:00 on Sunday mornings - when hardly anybody is up to watch them?
