Do you know who Chris Angel is? He's the "Mind Freak" magician who has a show on A & E. Normally, I never would have watched this show, but there are some kids I babysat for up until recently who loved the show. I'd show up at their house and they'd subject me to Chris Angel. His show is actually quite entertaining - I just don't really believe people can levitate and stuff like that.
So anyway, I am in the car, commuting to work, and even though I hate them all, I listen to morning radio shows. They're all full of crap, but I don't have a CD player in my car and I can't sit in silence in my car for long. So, I toggle back and forth between all the shows, hoping to find music, or a snippet of some conversation that won't make me want to put my head through the windshield.
This morning, Ryan Seacrest had Chris Angel on his show. After they talked for a while, he said he'd amaze us with something. I'm thinking "yeah right." We had to pick a number (even for women, odd for men), then he went through the numbers 1 - 10, saying a word/phrase "One - precious metal. Two - yarn..." etc etc. So I picked two, which meant my word was yarn. After that, he said some random stuff and you had to pick one. Well, I picked a yellow ball of yarn - and what the f---! He said all the women would think of that and that the men would think of the knife. Of course, mostly women call in to Ryan's show, but everyone that did picked the yellow ball of yarn.
I know there's some explanation out there for it. But sitting in the car, bored out of my mind, I actually was pretty amused and said out loud "oh my god, I just got mind fu---- by Chris Angel."
Pointless story, but I felt like sharing anyway.
