DISCLAIMER:  Thanks to the poor design of MLB.com's team websites, I thought today was an off-day.  It showed "next game, 7/5" and no game for today, which, I don't know if you know this, but I've been told is kind of a big deal.  I am a-shamed.  Sorry.

I have found myself alone on El 4th de Julio (I guess my main celebration was last night?) and thought I'd try my hand at doing one of those open threads that pass the time in a less painful way than your typical Royals Fan-Hood past-times.  Presumably, not many will participate in this because they would ostensibly have more of a life than I do.

1.  If you could speak one-on-one with any local business owner who does their own radio or TV commercials, who would it be and what would you say to them?

2.  You are stuck on a desert island -- in the ocean.  You are told you can have one meal airlifted to you for a special occasion.  However, it can't have any meat or meat products in it.  What would you order?

3.  Embarrassing--but in retrospect charming--moment from your past.....GO!

4.  Most terrifying brush with NATURE from your past......GO!
