Odd Osmonds



When I was a kid, I liked the old Donny and Marie show. And I thought the "I'm a Little Bit Country, I'm a Little Rock and Roll," song was pretty cool. However, when I was a kid, I thought a lot of strange things were cool, like Fonzie t-shirts, white socks that I was able to pull up as far as my knee, this weird guy at school whose mother made him sandwiches made of only white bread, mustard and little bits of cold hot dog.

At any rate, I'm an adult, and I'm not a fan of any of those things, except maybe the Fonz. So I'm not sure why an otherwise sane person would spend $80 on a ticket to see a modern-day Donny and Marie in Las Vegas, weight loss successes or not. I can think of other cool stuff to do in Vegas, but then I'm married, so I can only dream.
