FAILING MISERABLY AT THE VH1 "WORLD SERIES OF POPULAR CULTURE"

Our team (Big Fun) didn't make it past the first round (the written test) at the Orlando try-outs for the VH1 "World Series of Pop Culture."

I personally did not know Shakira's name was Arabic for "graceful" something or other.

We did get to spend the rest of our evening galivanting through Unviversal Studios' many genre-specific and ethnic-based nightclubs: the Latino club, the reggae club, the Irish pub. I half-expected to stumble on a tavern playing all Greek music and, next, a Japanese massage parlor. Where were the bagpipes? Scottish people party. I'm not going to be sated until every nationality is represented at Universal.
