This weeks theme is Spike
A Few Years ago I used to watch a cable channel a lot. It had Star Trek NG and CSI marathons on Friday night. Since I was a happily married woman at the time, I was content to sit and watch CSI repeats on Friday nights.
I can't remember what the name of the channel was but at some point they decided to change the name to SPIKE TV. OK, I guess it was a guys channel, they did show wrestling on it occasionally. What I thought of when they said Spike, was spiking the football or Vlad the Impaler.
Well someone out there in Famous land with a ego the size of Texas decide to sue the channel for the use of his name. I think his mind must have been warped to think his name had anything to do with a mans channel. Eventually he dropped his lawsuit and the name change went off as planned.
So if I was to use this line of thinking...after all I am famous too, I have a blog.....I think I will send a cease and desist order to Minute Rice. The name just sounds too close to Last Minute Lyn.
I think I will leave Loretta Lynn out of it since she uses two n's.
I will think of this incident from now on every time I hear the word Spike.
I've been told I'm opinionated..So this is my opinion.

LOL! Very original.
Haha! This was a very good post. Gotta love your opinion!
whew... sure glad you aren't suing loretta lynn honey...
smiles, bee
I remember when they became Spike TV! Opinionated is a good thing.
Great post - thanks a lot for introducing SPIKE TV
(*psst* they do not broadcast in Germany... LOL)
I, too, remember the Spike TV fracas, and you're right -- what an ego to think that as an "entertainer" you have the rights to sole usage of a word. This was a great post!
Thanks for participating in

*LOL* That was a great post. Opinions are good. They're like buttholes, everybody's got one. heh heh
Great post, Lyn. I never even thought of Spike TV, though I do occasionally watch something on it... like Star Trek TNG.
I've posted a Manic Monday too.

That's cute! You know for half a minute, I thought about Spike TV, too, but since it was a "man's" station, I hadn't ever watched it. I didn't know why they changed names. Interesting. Thanks for stopping by my MM.
*chuckling*
No 'Spike TV' in Iowa....yet.....
Happy Monday to you!!
great - spike tv - very uniquie use of this week's word:)
Didn't Spike TV used to be TNT? I totally never got the name change! But I suppose us gals have Oxygen and WE. Let 'em have Spike TV.
That is a great inspiration!! :-)
What? You mean this isn't Loretta Lynn's blog? ;)
EXCELLENT!! I always thought the name of that channel was so overly "oh it's all guy"
and leave Ms. LOretta out of this *grin*
Nice post
