Ted
You folks remember my car, Ursula, right?
I've blogged about her. MORE. THAN. ONCE.
Well, I don't own Ursula any more. Sadly, she was involved in a little fender bender last month. Some big, evil Hummer backed into her while she was parked. The damage really wasn't major, size-wise, but it just happened to be in a spot which dented both the hood and the fender. I guess body shops don't "bang out" dents anymore because, according to Mr. Hummer's insurance company, the cost to replace the damaged parts was more than Ursula's "blue book" value.
Long story short, I said good-bye to Ursula, cashed a decent-sized check, and we all had a nice Christmas.
Now I'd like you all to meet my new (used) car, TED...
...and here's the fun part!
I didn't just pull Ted's name out of a hat; I named him after someone.
I'd like to see if any of you can GUESS WHO IT IS and WHY I PICKED THAT PERSON.
Heck, I'll even make it a contest of sorts. The "winner" (anyone who sleeps with me is excluded, of course) will get to pick my next blog topic. Don't worry, this is a multiple choice quiz.
Was it...
A)
Ted "Theodore" Logan from Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure/Bogus Journey?
B)
Ted Nugent, the "Motor City Madman"?
C)
Ted Buckland, the sad sack lawyer from Scrubs?
or
D)
Ted McGinley: "Sit-Com Killer"!?
I'll post the answer and the reason when I'm satisfied with the number of guesses I receive (or maybe Monday... I dunno). If more than one commenter picks the correct person, I'll award the "prize" to the reason most closely resembling the truth.
Don't let me down now, folks!

A couple of thoughts...
First: Hanoi Rocks is OBVIOUSLY from Vietnam, helllooooo.
Second: Nice creative editing, very clever and funny. Good luck with the new car.
and Thirdly: My guess would be C: Ted Buckland from Scrubs. If their is a character on TV that resembles a '91 Dodge more than this guy, I haven't seen it.
oh, wait, I'm excluded aren't I... never mind.
I'm going to have to guess, just to prevent rampant gossip.
I'm going to go with Nugent. Because he can't drive 55. Oh, wait, that's Sammy Hagar. Never mind. I'm still going with Nugent. Because he probably can't drive 55 either. And because you just don't strike me as the type to name a car after a guy on Scrubs.
Sorry about Ursula. Long live Ted!
I never realized how hot Ted's thighs were!!!
Anyway my vote is for A
So good to hear from you its been a while!!
and thanks ; )
SXULDV8's comment has me laughing so hard I can't comment on anything else.
I say Ted from Scrubs. You know why? Because Ted is awesome. Ted may look kind've shabby on the outside, but deep down, we all know that he's got many values that make him oh-so lovable. RIGHT? Right.
I choose Ted Buckland.
I vote for Ted Danson. Oops, he's not on the list. Anyway, I guess I'm not eligible anyway because . . . Wait a minute . . .
Ouch. Didn't see that dv8 had already beaten me to the "who-else-sleeps-with-you" joke.
I think it might be named after the lawyer on Scrubs. He might even drive a car like that on Scrubs. . .or I might have made that up, but I think I remember that car on the show.
I go with Ted Logan, since this is 91 and "Bill And Ted's Bogus Journey" came out that same year. That's the best I can come up with!
