Desk Objects with John Kyllonen

Am I infatuated with 'Whoopi' Goldberg because she's on the very short and exclusive list of those with an EGOT? No. Do I admire her because she turned that boring church choir into the talk of the town in Sister Act? Also, no (ok fine, yes and no). Do I even know why I'm drawn to and adore her?? Nope! But the beauty of it is that it doesn't matter why, because it's just a scientific fact that Whoopi reigns supreme in my world.

You're probably familiar with the card game Apples to Apples (if not, brush up here). Back before Cards Against Humanity came out, and I thought Apples to Apples was fun, it was well known among the people that I played with that the Whoopi Goldberg card was my "trump card." Basically if it was my turn and someone played the Whoopi Goldberg card, no matter how spot-on or better-matching any other card played was, I was picking the Whoopster.

How did I acquire this card and why is it framed? Now you're asking too many questions. What I will tell you is that every day as I'm pecking away on my keyboard at my desk, I can glance over to my left and see that name that demands respect and admiration: Whoopi Goldberg. And I'll be darned if that isn't worth something.
