So you have yet to make your plans for your vacation this summer – how about traveling to Springfield? Illinois? Missouri? Massachusetts? No, it’s the Springfield set in an undetermined state in the United States where the folks are spectacularly orange with a wild variety of hairstyles and colors. I, myself, have never been a Simpsons fan, so I cannot imagine every visiting, but perhaps you might give it a try.
Apparently you will be able to get a Krusty Burger here. But if I would go to Universal Studios Orlando, I think I’d rather try the Butter Beer over at Harry Potter’s place. But if you can’t wait to see Homer and Bart in person (and Dom, I’m talking to you and your British friends that love The Simpsons) then keep an eye out this summer for an opening announcement. See more details at the New York Daily News here: http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv-movies/springfield-theme-park-coming-universal-orlando-article-1.1352915.
But if you prefer to visit a theme park with more intelligent individuals than Homer then you will have to wait a few years to visit the newest theme park in Alabama – Blue Collar Country. This theme park was announced earlier in May as being built by Jeff Foxworthy, Bill 
Engvall and Larry the Cable Guy. Read more - http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/jeff-foxworthy-blue-collar-comics-449084. So in just two to three years you can put on your trucker hat and your jorts and make your way to Alabama for some southern hospitality. Can’t wait, right? I thought so.
Reading the New York Daily News I saw the following article about David Hasselhoff cardboard cutouts being stolen. The cutouts are being used for an advertising campaign for iced coffee at a convenience store chain. Thieves are stealing the paper playboy and apparently some people are even asking to buy the cut-outs. My only thought on this is - why? I don’t believe he’s talented and I certainly wouldn’t want him in my house. And he is definitely aging, no Baywatch hottie there. But wait, I could just stand him up behind a closed window shade and point a light on him to frame a silhouette to scare off burglars.

But just a note to one of my favorite radio teams out there at the BBC – I do find enjoyment from The Hoff when he appears on BBC Radio with Scott Mills. When he leaves the show Scott and his team get an awful lot of use out the things Hasselhoff says and does off the air. Scott Mills Daily is available for download for free on Itunes.
