‘Rick on Whatever’-Tuesday 12/4/12

Tidbit Tuesday ! !

Providing you the information you need to sound informed today.

Fleetwood Mac was supposed to reunite this year and tour-but Stevie Nicks shot down that idea. But now she’s onboard for a reunion tour to start next spring. 34 dates were announced yesterday-St Louis was NOT one of them. This is-however-a very good chance more dates will be added.

Congratulations to Silver Dollar City. Their Old Time Christmas light display has made the list of the top lights displays in the entire nation. If you don’t mind making the trip down to Branson-you can enjoy the 4 million lights used in the display.

Yahoo has released its search data for 2012. The Top 5 searches for the year. #5 Kate Middleton-#4 Kate Upton-#3 Kim Kardashian-#2 iPhone 5-and the top search for 2012-the election.

If you love cookies-but feel guilty when you eat them-here’s great news. Today is National Cookie Day. You have a valid excuse to delight in some cookies today. And some Cookie Day Trivia-the English word ‘cookie’ is derived from the Dutch word ‘koekje’-which means little cake.

Britain’s royal family is expanding with approval from the Queen.  It was announced Monday that the former Kate Middleton-wife to Prince William-is carrying the royal baby who will be born third in line to the throne. Queen Elizabeth the 2nd and members of both families were “delighted” with the news of Catherine’s pregnancy.

Howard Stern will be back for another round of “America’s Got Talent.”  He signed on for a 2nd season-joining host Nick Cannon whose return was announced last week. Stern’s fellow judge Howie Mandel is expected to return for the 8th season but Sharon Osbourne is out after a feud with NBC over the summer. 

I’m Rick on Whatever–and The Whatever Word of the Day is–COOKIE.
