    Ok, how about some snowy day trivia?
    Without looking it up, who knows Looney Tunes Yosemite Sam's last name?
    Bonus points for middle name too.

    On this date in 1982, the drill rig Ocean Ranger sank in a freak storm, 166 miles east of St.John's. There were 84 people - 56 Newfoundlanders, 13 mainland Candadians, and 15 Americans aboard, and none survived.

    a terrible way to go.

    Apparently so...I didn't know either.
    The kids were watching an old Looney Tunes this morning and Sam introduced himself as Sam Shultz (prison guard in this episode) and I thought that sounded different than what I had heard before, so I looked it up and it showed Rosenbaum, and they listed the middle name too.
    I'll let it go for a day or so, see if anyone knows it.
