Guess who

Here's a fun game to play while you're driving along listening to NPR (which you totally do right? Of course you do). When they do top-of-the-hour newsbreak, the reporter always says, "From NPR News in Washington, this is [name]."

So! Your goal is to correctly identify the reporter before you hear the name. Hence, me, driving to work today:

Radio: From NPR News in Washington,
Me: KORVA COLEMAN!!!
Radio: this is Korva Coleman.
Me: [celebratory dance]
I thought I had Craig Windham down, too, but I sometimes confuse him with Corey Flintoff.

Fun, right? I know!

Really? I'd think Flintoff would be in my top 3 easiest-to-identify, after Ann Taylor and Carl Kassel.

Still, I always play this game.

I play the same game, and have the same trouble with Flintoff/Windham.

Did your celebratory dance interfere with your control of the automobile?

I don't have any name-recognition of NPR reporters. Alack the day.

Hey! That was privileged off-blog communication.

Or something.
