The Biggest Waiter...
Still haven't heard anything on Augusta's Biggest Loser... they said they had to push the notification date into early November.

The Biggest Loser
About 6 weeks ago, I threw my name in the hat for "Augusta's Biggest Loser", a weight-loss competition sponsored by our local NBC affiliate. I should know by Wednesday if I happened to be selected or not. I've never had professional help with weight loss, unless you count a short, parent-mandated flirtation with Weight Watchers in the mid 70's -- when all the W.W. food and drinks tasted like they were produced in conjunction with Jiffy Lube. I'll keep you posted.
Meanwhile, while doing a search for "Biggest Loser", I came across this classic newspaper headline: "'Biggest Loser' audition canceled due to large crowd." I had to laugh at the wording, intentional or not. Apparently they set up a casting call at a Dave & Buster's restaurant in San Diego. 1500 people who needed to be on "The Biggest Loser" showed up. A standard D&B will hold about half that many people, maybe less. Thus, the headline - audition canceled due to large crowd.
