Wilford Brimley wants you to check your blood sugar right now!

Saved By the Bell turned 20 yesterday and we did not even celebrate. Maybe because of how old it made us feel. [Sharapova's Thigh]

Great list of the best player currently wearing each jersey number 0-99. [Rumors and Rants]

I think online petitions are a waste of time, but I can think of no more of a noble cause that getting Pluto its title of "planet" back. If they end up calling it "the angry drunken dwarf planet" that's fine too. [YBNBY]

Tomorrow night is trivia night. Know your Bond Girls, in the biblical sense if possible. [Sporcle]

Former Hurricane, hobo weight-lifting partner, and 11th all-time rusher Edgerrin james may be on his way to signing with Seattle. [PFT]

Ichiro does not want a chick that digs the long ball, um, is this a metaphor? [Sportress of Blogitude]

I heard one of our local radio hosts who is usually talking out of his ass say the Mets have completely given up by trading Billy Wagner. Of course, it was Wagner who announced he was giving up on the Mets and not going to envoke his option in 2010 last year after his elbow injury costs them the playoffs. Knowledge is power folks.

The big boys seem to be on to the Moneyball schemes of small market teams. [SI]

And you thought I wasn't aware of the SBTB photo shoot reunion going on. [Examiner]

I Don't Think You Understand My Feelings On SBTB

Back when I posted the first Saved By The Bell related post on this site, I said anything involving the show would be post-worthy in my mind. Here we have a list here from Four Hoursemen Tattoo that pays homage to the characters that were not the major players, yet still added to the greatness of the show. Enjoy.

Zack Is Back, At Least For One Night

If you have not seen this video yet, where the hell have you been? This clip drips with greatness. I had no idea Mark-Paul would still be willing to do something like this and frankly, I was blown away. I have to give mad props to Jimmy Fallon for trying to make this reunion happen but of course he had to laugh during the 'timeout'. One thing that angers me about this clip is how tame the studio audience is. It is Zach freakin' Morris people and this is the first time in over a decade he has reappeared. The jokes he made were not even appreciated; the Kelly divorce because of Jeff, the huge phone, the talking to the camera, when he says that he grew up in Indiana but then moved to California with his two best friends and his principal.

Whether the reunion happens or not, this clip more than made up for the void of new SBTB content. I still catch an episode every morning on TBS before I head to work.

A final note for you fellow SBTB junkies out there; On Gosselar's show, Raising the Bar on TNT, his co-star is Natalia Cigliuti who played Lindsay Warner on Saved By The Bell: The New Class. Sweet.

Some Saved by the Bell Running Through My Head Last Night

Last night I was channel surfing I came across the ABC News show What Would You Do?. The show immediately reminded me of the Nickelodeon show of the same name hosted by Mark Summers after his legendary run on Double Dare. It was not as good as DD but the Pie Pod they had was memorable. You can watch a video of the pod at work here, but it is one of those grainy off the TV vids that make it look the Zapruder film.

Back to the ABC show, which uses hidden cameras to see how "regular" people would react to uncomfrotable social situaitons, a segment last night featured two actors on a blind date. The woman goes up to go to the bathroom and the man drugs her wine in plain view of other people at the bar. You can see the story and watch the video of it here. Only one woman completely intervenes on behalf of the actress which is kind of a sad commentary on people, but what struck me was this actress seemed familiar. She reminded me of a girl that appeared in a Saved by the Bell episode in which Zack and Slater fight over her. A clip of the epic throwdown is presented for your viewing pleasure below:

First off, how did Slater get punched like that, he is a wrestler. He should have had Zack tapping the floor within ten seconds. The actress whom they were fighting over played the role of Joanna and her name is Shana Furlow. The actress in the ABC show was referred to as Brigitte which I can only assume is her real name but damn if the two do not look a lot alike. As you can see from her imdb page, Shana has not exactly done a ton of work since guest appearing on SBTB which is surprising since it did wonders for Denise Richards and Leah Remini. I tried to scan the credits on the show but they moved so fast I could not catch the actresses full name. I will investigate the matter further today to see if it was just a coincidence or if this was the most ridiculous memory pull from my brain to date. Yes folks, sadly this is how my mind works.
