It has been a week of strange weather for parts of the country. Here in Charleston, we’ve gotten a good dousing of rain to the point that walking outside is like walking through swamplands.
For my friends up around Washington, DC, there was a blizzard, and I just heard last night that my old station in Richmond is dealing with …

My home state of South Carolina is known as the Palmetto State. But besides nicknames, states have a long list of things they claim as their own, from trees to flowers to drinks to dog breeds.
These little details are the subject of this week’s edition.

In light of the end of Conan O’Brien’s reign on The Tonight Show, this week’s edition of the Saturday Six is puts you in that hot seat behind the desk. Okay, not necessarily on The Tonight Show…that’s up to you as well!

This week’s edition of the Saturday Six is fresh out of the oven, and that’s a good thing because it’s all about food. And also some dining-related pitfalls.
If the questions leave you feeling a little hungry, don’t blame me!

Welcome to the 300th edition of the Saturday Six.
It’s hard to believe that there have been 300 consecutive weeks of six random questions. This week’s set is a little different. They all involve a common theme: that a stranger approaches you with a mysterious box. He opens the box to reveal a single red push-button and …

This Saturday, there’ll be something of a milestone for the weekly Saturday Six: I’ll be hosting the 300th weekly edition.
That translates into a little more than 5.75 years of questions. I’m sure that if you did a careful search through all 299 editions, you’d find that I probably asked the same question more than once. I try …

We’ve survived two Friday holidays in a row, and I wish we could continue the tradition: this four-hour workweek is not a bad thing at all.
But before we hit our first five-day week of the year, it’s time to play the Saturday Six.

Now that Christmas is over, I hope that you got everything you wanted. If not, I hope you got enough cash to buy what you want!

With Christmas now less than a week away — how is that even possible? — I figured now would be a good time to ask a set of questions about one of the most familiar symbols of the season: the Christmas tree!

My dad sometimes talks too much. When he gets going, you almost have a Vaudeville-style hook to “pull” him out of the room!  Once in a while, my mom will actually do this herself.
Sometimes, I get that way, so there are times while I’m talking to someone that I actually become overly-conscious about it, and I tend to clam …

This week’s edition of the Saturday Six is all about foreign languages.  Although from the opening lines, you might have guessed that already!

By now, I hope your Thanksgiving food coma is wearing off and you’re up for answering a set of six questions. This time, we’re talking about the technology you love to hate: your cell phone.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great weekend!

Here’s a toast to the 293rd edition of the Saturday Six and this week the subject is alcoholic beverages. Not that I expect anyone to get tipsy while they’re answering questions, but I do hope you have fun!
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great weekend!

Having a stressful week? Oh, the stress meter’s off the scale here at Patrick’s Place, so I thought I’d make de-stressing a topic for this week. It might even make its way to tomorrow’s quiz, too.

In this week’s Saturday Six, I posed the following question:
There’s only one day of the week that Halloween hasn’t fallen on since this blog began. What day of the week would you guess that is?
For those who weren’t motivated to look it up, I wanted to be sure to post the answer.
The very first edition of the Saturday Six …

Though I’m sure I’ve asked Halloween-themed Saturday Six questions before, this is the first time since this blog began that Halloween actually fell on a Saturday. So I couldn’t possibly ignore the holiday this time around!

Here’s a new set of Saturday Six questions that might just make you hungry!
It’s all about ethnic food, of any variety. My most unusual recent experience with ethnic food was with my close friends Archie and Rebekah in California. During my last visit there, along with Archie’s brother Sam, we had dinner in a very nice Thai restaurant …
