TheTeach has tagged me for this meme a while ago. I greatly appreciate this tag for many reasons:
First and foremost because I was tagged by TheTeach and the MEME helped me answering a question that bothered me for a long time. I remembered I´ve played a similar game many moons ago. It was named “SEVEN“. Digging through my archives I found the MEME and a hint… about me and my hair… a while back I couldn´t imagine to get my hair cut short - so why should I do it now??? Oh those pregnancy hormones… =)

Now, with no further ado, back to the game:

Homer: Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try.

Dislaimer: Before you ask yourself:“Where the heck did Sanni get a childhood photo of Matt-Man???” - That poor boy on the left isn´t Matty (as far as I know) - I´m sure Matty would never f… *uhm* hasn´t been so f… *uhm* Well, as far as I know it´s not Matty, just a little eyecatcher for the Dating Game results *wink*

Special thanks to all those who visited my Manic Monday entry, read the post, took time to leave a comment and those who gave the little game a try and placed their wild bets in the comments.

Yes, I´ve had a few dates at the cinema, but I never watched a movie including the word “date” in the title on a date. I confess I myself have seen only 3/9 of the mentioned “date”-movies so far…

Blind Date, 50 First Dates and Hitch - the Datedoctor.

Now, with no further ado, the results:



The first place: The excellent and witty writer Ian has not only been the first person who really read the post - he has also been the first one who gave that dating movie game a try AND he matched all the movie pics and titles correctly! WOO-HOO!

The second place: Vinny over at The Couch is a living jukebox AND a movie dictionary. Vinny matched 6 out of 9 pics and titles!

The third place: The one and only CrAzY Working Mom made it to 4/9 matches!


Honorable Mentions: That´s the consolation prize for the others, like the super-dancer Trav, who found 2 matches (mentioning 2 movies - not too bad, huh?)!

Thanks again for playing, peeps!

And now…

… our moment of Homer J.:


Homer: [drunk] Look, the thing about my family is there’s five of us. Marge, Bart, Girl Bart, the one who doesn’t talk, and the fat guy. How I loathe him.

Actor Heath Ledger was found dead at a Manhattan apartment this afternoon in what appeared to be a possible drug-related death; he was 28. The actor was discovered in one of the SoHo apartment’s bedrooms at 3:31 p.m., when a masseuse arrived for a scheduled appointment and the residence’s housekeeper went to inform the actor of the masseuse’s arrival. He was found unconscious and unresponsive; the New York Times stated that the apartment in question belonged to actress Mary-Kate Olsen, who was not present and was believed to be out of state. An initial police report also cited by the New York Times said that foul play was not suspected and that pills had been found near Ledger’s body.A native of Australia, Ledger shot to fame as a teen heartthrob in 10 Things I Hate About You before graduating to more adult roles, most notably his Oscar-nominated turn in Brokeback Mountain. Engaged at one time to Brokeback co-star Michelle Williams, the two had a daughter but had split in recent months. Earlier this year, Ledger wrapped filming on the Batman film The Dark Knight, in which he played The Joker; the film is currently set for release this summer.

Heath Ledger, who made his way into my list of favorite actors by breaking hearts in “10 Things I Hate About You” and his role “Sir Ulrich von Lichtenstein of Gelderland” in one of my favorite movies of all time, “A Knight´s Tale”, also hit it big with Brokeback Mountain, a role that nabbed him both a Golden Globe and Academy Award nomination. He recently wrapped on “The Dark Knight” as “Joker”, and was headed for “The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus”.

He is survived by his two-year-old daughter Matilda Rose (whom he had with actress and fiancee Michelle Williams). Condolences all around.

You will be deeply missed, Heath. Rest in PEACE!
