And you couldn't be more wrong. Well, I suppose you could be. You got the "tri- = 3" angle right. But that's about all. Sun shining on a dog's ass and all.

Incidentally, it's "triphthong", folks. "Tripthong" is what I've suffered from the morning after a particularly successful date.

Eww, it's "Beauty."

Ding, but why the "Eww"?

And thanks for the spelling error catch.  It just wouldn't be a proper post if I didn't have at least one glaring typo ;-)

Here's our early front-runner for...

Line...of...the day!

See if you know this one:
Earplay, Tales of Wrongovia, and Safari Solitare were rotating segments on what 1980s cable show?
A: Cartoon Express
B: Night Flight
C: Pinwheel
D: Braingames

You'd think I'd know this... actually, no, but I should know this.  All four of those are a bit fuzzier than they should be in my mind, but trying to get my memory working, I think, more likely than not, that the answer is D, Braingames.

For some reason those sound very familiar, but in that unearhted, repressed memory sorta way.  Based on that, I will go with the only program I remember watching way back when and say C: Pinwheel.

I was emphasizing the "eww" in "bewwty."  Deww yeww see now?

D: Braingames  (I didn't know it was shown on cable; I thought it was solely videocassette)

Braingames airs periodically very early in the morning on one of the many HBO channels.

Frank and Dale are correct, it was Braingames.  BTW, Dale, HBO produced and aired six episodes, five regular editions and a "best of", from 1984-85.  I didn't know about the videocassette, but some of the segments were shown on USA's Calliope in the early 90s.

Must be very periodically, given the HBO channels I've got on DirecTV.  Pretty good selection of movies, though.

This, my friend, is a perfect illustration of the fine line between "trivia nobody but a GS geek would know" and "trivia that nobody, INCLUDING a GS geek, would give a damn about."

C.  IIRC, his full "name" was 555 95472 and everyone called him 5 for short... and he had two sisters named 3 and 4. :-)

See, I thought he was "seven" because he was the seventh kid in a big family. So I think we've concluded it's a good question.

Well, my guess was going to be 867 5309, they called her 5 for short, and her Nickname was Jenny. So C, 5
