NEWS TEAM PERK-OFF RESULTS
We personally have a soft spot in the bowels of our heart for Radar the Weather Dog, but the commenters have spoken, and it appears that the nation's perkiest local TV News Team is made up of the wacky dudes 'n' dudettes of the 4Utah team, who, moments after this photo was taken, probably stripped down to nothing but their earpieces. Congratulations, 4Utah! We are pleased to present you with the coveted Perk-Off Trophy, which we will send to you just as soon as judi is done coveting it.

OK, the truth is out - Houston has BOTH Radar the Weather Dog AND the Buzz Lady (http://www.buzzlady.com/) They were on screen together once, and syrup started oozing out of my TV ...

Lovely trophy, but I *still* think it looks like a root vegetable. Either that or a tree branch that lost its bark. (WOOF!)
As for perk, good choice for winner everyone. That bunch exudes sooooo much perk that my computer monitor starts bouncing whenever I go to that URL!

Dave, That's not a news team. It's a Mormon family.
Dad, Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom, Sister-Mom, Brother, Brother, Grand-Brother and Cousin-Brother.

Way to go 4Utah! I've never been so proud of my home state, although that one time when all those people came here to go skiing in '02 was pretty cool too. This is way better, though.
And people are still making those lame Mormon jokes? Seriously?

I have a feeling this will be an ongoing battle.
That is all.

Um, did anyone else notice the winners were kinda in uniforms: all the women in red, the guys in blue etc.?

Why is judi coveting it if she already has possession of it?
Shouldn't she give it to her neighbor first?
Posted by: Christobol | August 05, 2005 at 12:26 PM
George!! I think you're(ny) on to something. Somehow the 4Utah team must have gotten prenotification of this contest and dressed up/perked up accordingly. Brave of them, considering the reputation of this blog... :)
Mighty Thor: Are you kidding? Mormon jokes will never die - just as Catholic/Blonde/Women Driver/*fill in group of your choice* jokes will live on through time immemorial. And lets face it, some of the history/present of mormonism just cries out for joking. Granted, some people joke with malice, but for the most part bloggers here joke tongue-in-cheek and back off if anyone is truly offended. For my part - I'm off to eat my bowl of carrot jello. I'll drop some off for you, Punkin, if you're interested.

OMG! It's 'NewsTeam: The Musical'

So did you guys all hear the one about the Catholic blonde Mormon woman who ran over the group of his or her choice? Heh heh. That was a good one.

10 dudes and 4 dudettes; what a party that must have been! I'll bet some of those dudettes did double-duty.
Posted by: Travis | August 05, 2005 at 12:59 PM
Okay, gotta do it----What did you do to make it thor, Thor?
Posted by: seatazzz | August 05, 2005 at 01:00 PM
Just think, I live in Houston with Radar the weather dog, and I go to school in Utah with the 4Utah team! Life just gets better.
Thor-PS as a blonde Mormon Canadian, I am pretty much a walking punchline.

Oh, wait, this is from Florida. Never mind.

how'd that woman in a pink suit get into the picture? I suppose she claimed she washed her red suit and it faded?
I don't think you can be Catholic and Mormom
Posted by: ceeg22 | August 05, 2005 at 01:43 PM
Things I'd never thought I'd say File:
"I'm Catholic, and I'm not Mormon."
Posted by: sct72 | August 05, 2005 at 01:46 PM
But if you were a Catholic priest and a Morman, maybe you could split the difference and have a wife.

By my best estimate that's about $70,000 worth of orthodontics smiling at us. Not to mention the whitening treatments. Some dentist somewhere is perkier than they are.

We now need a contest for The We'll Do (Almost) Anything for a Smile News Team. Naked Newspersons, being obvious winners, are not eligible.
Oh, what the heck, the "We're High on Life!" 4Utah team might as well step up to the podium and accept their award.

This - http://www.roshweb.net/images/perky.jpg - is the banner I saw on the blog when I came to check the results. I thought Dave and his friend awarded the prize to themselves.
Posted by: Roshan | August 05, 2005 at 05:52 PM
I would love to see Dave actually send the 4Utah team the oosik.
Dave: You've won the perkiness award. Congratulations! Here's a walrus penis!
4Utah freaks: Pervert... SECURITY!!!
Posted by: AllieKat | August 05, 2005 at 11:46 PM
That's the 4Utah news team? I thought Up With People was making a comeback.
