September Is The Most Common Birthday Month

Gene and Julie — Wed, 16 May 2012 16:15:24 +0000

How common is your birthday? It seems like we’re always interested to see who shares our birthdays, especially which celebrities and famous people through history share the special day with us. The New York Times published a ranking of the most common birthdays between people born between 1973 and 1999.

September dominates the top 10 most common birthdays. September 16th is the most common birthday of all. Mid-September is so popular for birthdays that the first non-September birthday falls at #12, July 8th.

It would be obvious that Leap Day, February 29th is the least common birthday as it only falls on the calendar once every four years. Behind that, Christmas Day, December 25th is the least popular birthday. Christmas Eve is the 4th least common birthday, and Independence Day, July 4th, is the 6th.

Where does your birthday fall in the rankings? Dailyviz.com posted a heat map from the rankings for an at-a-glance view of the most common birthdays in the year.

David Rancken’s Surprising Drop At A Funeral

Gene and Julie — Wed, 16 May 2012 12:40:08 +0000

When David Rancken was nine years old, he was a pallbearer in his grandfather’s funeral. That’s a lot of responsibility for a nine year old, and perhaps too much weight on his young shoulders. Literally. The casket was so heavy that David let go and the casket fell. Is David’s funeral faux pas the truth, or is he today’s Big Fat Liar?

Julie DeHarty was dining at Hooter’s when she needed to visit the ladies’ room. She noticed that there was no toilet paper in her stall, and she was also alone in the restroom. She did have her cell phone with her, so she called the hostess at the restaurant to bring her a fresh roll of toilet paper.

Julie Gates is convinced that Reggie is the world’s smartest dog. He knows he’s not allowed on Gene’s white rug, but every time she turns around, she sees Reggie on the rug with a knowing look in his eyes.

Gene loves Texas. He also loves UT. He loves UT so much that he bought a novelty fake diploma. The problem is that it looks real enough that people believe that he really graduated from UT.

Congrats to Bridgett who identified Gene Gates as the Big Fat Liar! Bridgett won a family 4 pack of tickets to see Hall & Oates at the Allen Event Center on September 10th!

Be sure to join us tomorrow at 7:30am CST for your next chance to play Big Fat Liar! You could win a family 4 pack of tickets to see Hall & Oates at the Allen Event Center on September 10th. Guess the Big Fat Liar at 7:30 to win! Tickets are on-sale now at alleneventcenter.com.

Keep An Eye Out For The Katy Trail Robbers

Gene and Julie — Tue, 15 May 2012 13:19:11 +0000

Two armed men have been terrorizing people jogging the Katy Trail and the surrounding Uptown neighborhoods. Help catch the bad guys and stay safe while you’re out and about.

Police have described the suspects as two African-American men. The first man is between 20-30 years old, 5’8″ to 6’2″ tall, and weights about 150-160 pounds. He is armed with a blue steel semi-automatic handgun. The second suspect is around 20-22 years old, 5’8″ to 5’10″ tall, and about 160 pounds. He might have a gold tooth and moles around his eyes. He is armed with a silver colored semi-automatic handgun. The vehicle they’ve been seen in is a gray or silver four-door sedan, possibly a Chrysler or a Chevy Impala.

These men have been linked to 14 robberies along the Katy Trail and in the surrounding neighborhood in Uptown. They have run up to people with guns drawn, pushed people down, and stolen cell phones and cash. They are extremely dangerous and have attacked at all hours.

Keep yourself safe. Don’t go out by yourself, take a friend or two if you’re running along Katy Trail or out and about in Uptown. Be aware of your surroundings. Report suspicious activity to police.

Gene’s Wild Golf Cart Driving

Gene and Julie — Tue, 15 May 2012 12:45:20 +0000

Gene is afraid that Julie won’t play golf with him again or drive a golf cart at the very least. He was driving a little too fast in a golf cart when he took a corner a little too sharp. Julie went tumbling out of the golf cart and down the hill. It was funny to everyone except Julie. Is Gene’s story the truth, or is he today’s Big Fat Liar?

Julie DeHarty had to take golf lessons because her parents belonged to a country club. She lasted about a week before she was asked to leave. She switched scorecards with the golf pro’s daughter and got caught.

The last time David Rancken played golf, it was so muddy that the bottom of his shoe ripped away. He had to walk the rest of the course with only the shoe top and his sock.

It’s been so long since Julie Gates played golf that the last time she pulled out a club, she found the skeleton of a mouse. It lived, died, and decomposed all in the time between golf games.

Congrats to Travis who identified Julie DeHarty as the Big Fat Liar! Travis won a family 4 pack of tickets to see Hall & Oates at the Allen Event Center on September 10th!

Curious Cat Vs Roomba Vacuum Cleaner

Gene and Julie — Tue, 15 May 2012 11:49:38 +0000

Curiosity doesn’t always kill the cat, sometimes it just gives it a ride around the room. This little cat figured out what the Roomba vacuum is really for, and it’s not for cleaning. It’s a personal conveyance platform for cats. It’s comes complete with a funny little spinning brush that is fun to play with while it tries to pick up dirt.

Kid Wakes Up Drumming To Rock Song

Gene and Julie — Mon, 14 May 2012 14:45:09 +0000

Kids are cute when they’re asleep, and they’re even more priceless when they wake up. One toddler was just snoozing in the backseat on a car ride when the adults in the car decided to document his reaction to waking up to a rock song. The result is adorably awesome!
