TIDBITS GETS FIRED UP ABOUT

NATIONAL BOSS DAYby Stanley Drummond

Bosses are people, too. (Really!) And every year on October 16, America pays tribute to them.• Actually, National Boss Day was created in

1958 by an Illinois secretary named Patricia Haroski. She chose October 16 because it was her father’s birthday. Her father also happened to be her boss at the time. Nevertheless, she felt that bosses in general were underappreciated, and registered the date with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as an official observance.

• Interestingly enough, a 2005 survey done by an international human resources consulting firm revealed that the majority of employees would not trade places with their boss. The primary reason given was the change that would result between them and their co-workers. They could no longer ignore or laugh at any slackers in their department; they’d be responsible for any poor performers.

• Hallmark started selling Boss Day cards in 1979. While they don’t reveal actual sales figures, they do disclose that the “holiday” is poised to break into the list of top 10 card-send-ing events within the next few years.

There was resurgence in popularity ofTelemarkskiinginthe1960swhenmorepeoplerecognizedtheexercisebenefitsofthesport.

•Telemarking is an old snow sport but have youever seen a “Snurfer?” Itwas thepredecessor tothe snowboard. Sherman Poppen of Muskegon, Michigan came up with the fun invention for his daughtersin1965.HereceivedaTrannyAwardin1995forlifetimeachievementinthesnowboardingindustry.

• In the late 1970s and early 80s, Jake BurtonCarpenter and Dimitrije Milovich are credited with catapulting snowboarding to the extremely popular sportthatitistoday.Fewerthan10%ofU.S.skiresorts allowed snowboarding in1983.By1997,few resorts excluded it. Now accepted worldwide, itisthefastestgrowingwintersportintheU.S.andCanada.

The Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe, Vermont was opened in 1950 by the family made known by the movie and musical, The Sound of Music. The von Trapp family fl ed Austria to escape the Nazis. When they found the beautiful mountains of Stowe they knew they had found their new home. The 2400 acre (971 ha) resort is home to the fi rst cross-country ski center in the U.S. and has wonderful groomed and back-country trails.

Question: What is the difference between a municipal bond and a ski bum?

Answer: A municipal bond will eventually mature and make money! (A little background information for readers who’ve never been skiing: Ski bums are the people, mostly male, who want to ski all winter and don’t have much money to pay for their habit!)

In the 1920s, Elmer Letterman was an insurance salesman in New York City. He reserved a table for four at the Four Seasons Hotel five days a week. He would call a friend, client, or prospect and ask who they would like to meet. He would arrange a luncheon for no more than three guests. His plan was to help friends, clients and prospects develop contacts that would enhance their careers. He carried no brochure. He carried no rate book. He sold no insurance. If anyone asked him about insurance, his comment was always the say: “My partners will give you a call.” Because of this process, Elmer became a millionaire. With this Miracle, you are frustrating tradition.

The Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe, Vermont was opened in 1950 by the family made known by the movie and musical, The Sound of Music. The von Trapp family fl ed Austria to escape the Nazis. When they found the beautiful mountains of Stowe they knew they had found their new home. The 2400 acre (971 ha) resort is home to the fi rst cross-country ski center in the U.S. and has wonderful groomed and back-country trails.

Question: What is the difference between a municipal bond and a ski bum?

Answer: A municipal bond will eventually mature and make money! (A little background information for readers who’ve never been skiing: Ski bums are the people, mostly male, who want to ski all winter and don’t have much money to pay for their habit!)

In the 1920s, Elmer Letterman was an insurance salesman in New York City. He reserved a table for four at the Four Seasons Hotel five days a week. He would call a friend, client, or prospect and ask who they would like to meet. He would arrange a luncheon for no more than three guests. His plan was to help friends, clients and prospects develop contacts that would enhance their careers. He carried no brochure. He carried no rate book. He sold no insurance. If anyone asked him about insurance, his comment was always the say: “My partners will give you a call.” Because of this process, Elmer became a millionaire. With this Miracle, you are frustrating tradition.

THE LETTERMAN LUNCH

1540 East 2nd Street 307-265-7296

By Samantha Weaver

• It was American political scientist, economist, psychologist and professor Herbert Simon who made the following sage observation: “What information consumes is rather obvious: It consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention, and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it.”

• Those who study such things claim that the act of licking a stamp burns one-tenth of a calorie. • The shortest song in the world is “You Suffer,” recorded in 1986 by the British band Napalm Death. It lasts precisely 1.316 seconds. • Stanley Mason was an inventor who really got around, in a manner of speaking. In

addition to coming with the idea for the granola bar, he also created the squeezable ketchup bottle, the disposable diaper, heated pizza boxes and the dental floss dispenser.

• There are more Polish people living in Chicago than in any city on Earth except for Warsaw, Poland’s capital.

• You might be surprised to learn that the most dangerous profession in the country -- in terms of the percentage of people holding that profession who have been killed -- isn’t firefighter or police officer, it’s president of the United States. A total of 9 percent of our presidents have been assassinated.

• Studiers of statistics say that in any random group of 23 people, the chances that at least two of them share a birthday is more than 50 percent. • In the Commonwealth of Virginia, a statute contained within what’s known as the Code of 1930 prohibits bribery or corruption by anyone other than a political candidate. ***Thought for the Day: “I think the biggest mistake most people make when they pick their first job is they don’t worry enough about whether they’ll love the work, and they worry more about whether it’s good experience.” -- Steve Ballmer

PICKS OF THE WEEK

“Doctor Who: The Complete Spe-cials” (The Next Doctor/Planet of the Dead/The Waters of Mars/The End of Time Parts 1 and 2) -- This five-disc set contains the final four episodes of David Tennant’s ten-ure as the eccentric, time-traveling hero, The Doctor. Not only do you get the episodes, but there’s also a ton of extras: All the “Doctor Who Confidential” episodes (contain-ing behind-the-scenes footage and interviews), the musical special “Doctor Who at the Proms,” deleted scenes, David Tennant’s Video Dia-

ries, audio commentaries and the panel discussion at last year’s Com-ic-Con. This is a boxed set every fan should own.

“Zombieland” -- If you liked “Shaun of the Dead,” then you’ll love “Zom-bieland.” Woody Harrelson stars in this high-octane comedy as Talla-hassee, one of the few human sur-vivors of a zombie apocalypse who is hell-bent on finding every sur-viving Twinkie in the country. For his cross-country trek he teams up with a nerdy dude (Jesse Eisenberg) and two hot sisters (Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin) as they battle hordes of zombies on their way to the West Coast. I’m usually not a big fan of zombie flicks or Woody Harrelson, but “Zombieland” was surprisingly enjoyable. Man, was this a fun movie.

WORTH A LOOK

“Ong Bak 2: The Beginning” -- Tony Jaa is unquestionably the best mar-tial-arts movie star of this genera-tion. He doesn’t use CGI or stunt doubles, and his fight scenes fea-

ture some of the most bone-crush-ingly intense action captured on film. Sadly, this long-awaited se-quel to 2003’s “Ong Bak: The Thai Warrior” is something of a letdown. Yes, the fights are well-choreo-graphed and thrilling to watch, but the pace of the film just draaaags, the acting is pretty bad even for a martial-arts film, and the cliffhang-er ending is just plain lame.

Some people who survive very well in the snow and cold of winter are the Inuit, also known as Eskimos. (Eskimo is actually considered a derogatory term to them.) The Inuit invented igloos or “snow houses’ centuries ago, mainly for use while hunting.
