Tidbits 6/19

Just wanted to share some 'useless information' I calculated last night...
There are over 2700 news, chart and tour posts here on CDD. If all these posts were layed end to end, it'd stretch over 54 km or 33.5 miles. WOW!!

• Charlotte.com - Sports article about tonight's hockey game includes Clay's name - See Item #6
• MSNBC - article concerning the gay allegations.
• NY Newsday (being syndicated): article about celebrity activism mentions Clay's UNICEF role. "Celebrity activism is not new. UNICEF, the United Nations Children's Fund, seized on the idea of in the 1950s when entertainer Danny Kaye became its first globe-trotting ambassador, speaking out on children's issues. Since then, it has used scores of stars, from "American Idol" runner-up Clay Aiken, who visited Indonesia and Uganda last year, to Farrow, who spent a week in Darfur this month."
• Antimusic -- random Clay mention (negative)
• Good Clay mention on UPN's Daily Buzz. Thanks to the CB's fancynails4 for this recap: "One of the personalities on The Daily Buzz (UPN 6-9 am M-F) reported on Ruben being 'awarded' $2 mil from his ex-manager for embezzlement. "Now he has enough money to sue Clay Aiken for stealing his career." They showed the pic of Clay and Ruben taken during AI2 where Ruben is sitting down and Clay has his left arm on Ruben's shoulder."
  

• Lordy Lordy Lordy reflects on July memories (2004 A Capitol Fourth)
• Something That Really Happened blogs about Indonesia Idol's Clay wannabe who sang Invisible (we posted this in a Tidbits post a few days ago)
• Thanks to ClayKat for linking to our blog regularly. She posts about Clay's NHL game appearance last week and whether he'll show up for tonight's NHL Stanley Cup finals, to be held at the RBC Center in Raleigh.
• Cute post about "Cloomate etiquettes" from Taking A Moment. (I hope Jemrock doesn't mind me posting some of it here)

  One of the unique hallmarks of the Clay Aiken fandom is a phenomenon which occurs every few months, much like the Northern Lights or the changing of the seasons or of Clay's haircolor. This is what happens: Sarge The Bus Driver comes out of retirement and runs the tour bus through the neighborhood car wash and makes sure Raleigh's gate is securely in place to keep Clay away from the driver's seat. Clay drags his little wheely suitcase and laptop backpack onto the tour bus, stocks the bus pantry with grape jelly, Bi-Lo peanut butter cookies and Grey Goose Vodka (haha just kidding), and hits the road for his national solo tour. By "national" I mean "not Canada and not West Tennessee". And by "solo" I mean accompanied by Mary, Jerome, Nick, Faye, Kristy, Amanda, Amber, JohnD, Steeeve, Angela, Quiana, Chamberlain, that other dude dancer whose name I can't remember but I think he did the ironing, too, Allison from the Christmas Vignettes, Brianne, The Dancing Siblings, Allison Glock, Roger, Clive, Fran, SweaterGirl, BlondeBroadwayGirl, BikiniGirl, the band, the roadies, the sound crew, the lighting crew, and the OFC Claymate of the Day.
  
  And when that happens, all the Clay fans around the country scramble for hotel rooms and make plans to sleep with other Clay fans they met on the internet.
  
  Today I'd like to discuss some etiquette guidelines everyone should keep in mind while sleeping with someone you don't really know.
