NPR is laughing at me RIGHT NOW

[false_maria]

The, shall we say, unusual demographics of the audience of My Little Pony:Friendship is Magic have reached the attention of NPR. Or, more specifically, reached Wait Wait Don't Tell me's 'Bluff the Listener' game. I can't find a way to link directly to the segment in question, but if you click on the 'Listen to the Full Show' link for June 18th and then skip to the segment entitled 'Bluff the Listener'--that's the one. :D: And may God have mercy on our souls.

But, hey, it's always fun to immediately know the right answer to an obscure trivia question, right? :D? And about that--that listener chose option 2 with an awful lot of confidence. I'm just sayin'.

"I know, uh, SOME PEOPLE who would watch something weird like that... yeah...."

That was great! And I wish I lived in a basement, the weather extremes where I live are a bummer.

I believe I'm convinced that guy didn't have to guess at the answer to that question any more than I did. :D And seriously, a basement has that thermal mass going for it. It's been hitting over 100 here some days, and if you live on the top floor, you end up right where all the heat rises to.
