Happy Holidays! I’ve been off the grid a little and taking a break, hence no post last week. Lets get up to speed shall we. Here’s what’s been going on the past few weeks:
As 2012 winds down, many end of year lists are out. Including, the top Googled words of the year. Facebook was number one. Followed by Youtube and then Craigslist in third. My guess these words repeatedly searched by folks who have no idea how to bookmark a web page. Ask your grandkids people!
Story out of New Zealand. A lady there claims she saw a UFO on Christmas Night. Now there is a bunch of speculation. Did she see a alien ship?, was it a military project?, is she crazy?…Silly Kiwis, it was Christmas Night, it was Santa Claus of course!, duh.
Lindsay Lohan has had another meltdown. On the set of Scary Movie 5, she completely trashed her trailer. --Lindsay Lohan and the words “trailer” & “trash” in the same sentence, who knew!-- In her defence, I hear she lost her advent calendar, and we've all seen somebody freak out when that happens!
Movie director Michael Bay is denying reports the script for “Transformers 4” was leaked online. I believe him. Have you seen these movies? It’s obvious there’s never actually been a script for any of them.
The owner of the IKEA monkey appeared in court last week. A sad situation, I hear the real reason for legal fight; they just want the fancy jacket the monkey was wearing back.
3 people have been arrested following an 18 million dollar Maple Syrup heist in Quebec earlier this year. Police are feeling confident about the case, but do admit getting evidence together has been a slow and sticky process...Zing!
A TV network in Ireland is remaking the Classic show Cheers…Wait a minute. A TV show, about a bunch of Irish people, who spend way too much time in a bar. That’s not a Cheers remake, that’s a reality show my friend!
A rare collection of letters and drawings by "Peanuts'' creator
Charles Schulz recently went up for auction. Expected to fetch over 300 thousand dollars, unfortunately no buyer could be found. “Good Grief” said Charlie Brown.
Finally, a now two time winner, Time Magazine has selected US
President Barack Obama its Person of the Year. Unless you are from North Korea of course. In that case, I’m sure Kim Jong Un has been named person of the year…All hail Kim Jong Un
-Gilmore
--Oh P.S. Last Thursday (Dec 20th) long time actor Samuel L Jackson celebrated his 64th birthday. Turns out Samuel L Jackson gets way to excited about his birthday every year, infact he’s been known to freak out just over his birthday cake:

These Are The Things I Think About -- Dec10th-16th
It was a historic night in music Wednesday. The Hurricane Sandy Benefit concert took place. Dozens of artists were involved, and the show was broadcast to an estimated 1 billion people. Tickets for the event were fetching scalpers as much as 60 thousand dollars. Makes me think another benefit show is needed; this one to raise awareness of idiots overpaying for concert tickets.
Wednesday’s concert fell on, and was partially named after date, 12-12-12. For some reason, piles of people, businesses and events made a huge deal out of the date. This included hundreds of Canadians, who chose the day to get married. Proving hundreds of people across the country are really bad at remembering important dates.
Lindsay Lohan owes money on a storage locker so it is being auctioned off. Hmmm, what exactly would you find in a Lindsay Lohan storage locker anyway? My guess, 3 or 4 empty boxes, and a massive pile of cocaine. Either that or her self dignity, maybe that’s where she’s been keeping it!
New census figures show over 176 thousand people in England identify themselves as Jedi Knights. Of course the rest of us identify these people as nerds*
Finally, with the holidays underway a Toronto mall Santa was recently fired for telling a 3 year old boy the Maple Leafs suck. In his defence, Santa can't lie (little joke for you Leafs haters, thank Ryan Crits for that one)…Actually, the truly upsetting part of this story. I hear the man in the Santa costume was Leafs GM Brian Burke.

--Oh P.S. *-I think Homer Simpson nails this one best!

These Are The Things I Think About -- Dec3rd-9th
Well the numbers are in and congratulations to Canadian men. This year we led the world in fundraising for Movember…hats off gents! To all Canadian women; the challenge is on ladies, the bar has been set for Julyna!
The Pope joined twitter this week. His twitter handle is @pontifex, which means “bridge builder” in Latin. Fitting, as this will certainly be a new way for him to reach out to his followers. So far though it’s just been knock-knock jokes.
Basketball fans, word is the New Orleans Hornets will change their name to the Pelicans next year, seriously. A similar story is happening in Hockey. Even with the lockout continuing and no games on, Leafs fans are urging their team to change names to the “Bed Crappers”.
To Europe, McDonald's in France is testing Bagel Burgers of all things. Of course it makes me think of Pulp Fiction. Do you know what they call a Bagel Burger in France?…My guess, Le Bagelle with Cheese.
Playboy’s Hugh Hefner is engaged again. Back with his former fiancé, Playmate Crystal Harris, the wedding is planned for New Year’s Eve. At 86 years old, you gotta wonder if Hef can even make it down the isle, let alone through a wedding night with a 26 year old!…Just sayin’
The world's oldest person died Tuesday. Besse Cooper was 116 years old. Larry King said he was sad to hear the news of her passing, but is excited to be the new #1.
Finally, according to a new survey, 46% of women worry about gaining weight during the coming holidays. Of course you know what this means. 64% of women lied during the survey.
-Gilmore
--Oh P.S. A little weird but true extra one for you. A poisonous cobra recently escaped during a flight from Cario to Kuwait. Fortunately for those on board Samuel L Jackson was also on the plane:
Ha! “Monkey Fighting Snakes”, gotta love those edited for TV lines.

These Are The Things I Think About -- Nov26th-Dec2nd
Just announced Kim Kardashian is the top searched person on Bing. Bing?!….does anybody even use that? Headline should be changed to “3 people searched Kim Kardashian online”. I bet these same 3 people also watch movies on Betamax.
Got a hot date? thinking of renting a limo?, forget it, rent the Popemobile! After 30 years off the road, Pope John Paul II’s old car has got a revamp and is up for rent...the ‘Holy’-cow price of $325 an hour.
Toronto Argonauts won the CFL's 100th Grey Cup, and their celebration parade went this past Monday. The Argos second championship parade in just 8 years, that sulking sound you heard during it was the staff, management, team, and pretty much anyone associated with the Leafs!*
Some good news for the Leafs though, at the moment they're not the top losers in Toronto. These days the honour goes to the city’s mayor, Rob Ford. Due to do a conflict of interest, Mayor Ford was removed from his office this week…As to how they got him out, I’m not sure if they used a forklift, or lured him with a trail of doughnuts.
From my only in Belgium files. Not only are the Flemish known for Waffles & French Fries. Chalk up poor mate selection to them too. A Belgian man just discovered his wife used to be a man. They’d been married for 19 years. You’d think her peeing standing up would have been an indicator.
And finally, a little moment for Larry Hagman. Best known as JR Ewing on ‘Dallas’, Larry died last weekend, he was 81. May he be off causing trouble in the Southfork in the Sky!
-Gilmore
--Oh P.S. *-To add to the frustration for fans, Forbes magazine announced this week the Leafs total franchise value comes in at $1 Billion dollars. Barf!, A billion dollars off our loyalty, and a slap in the face is what we get every season. The Leafs should have to start paying fans just to keep them.

These Are The Things I Think About -- Nov19th-25th
Did ya notice the date today, 1 month till Christmas…yeesh!
Went to see the new James Bond movie “Skyfall” Friday. Go see it, it’s awesome! And great news for Bond fans, Daniel Craig has just signed on for 2 more movies. The deal is worth 49 million dollars making him the top earning ‘007’ of all-time. I just hope he invests the cash properly and doesn’t waste it. Remember a Moneypenny saved is a Moneypenny earned….Zing!
A new study confirms primates experience a midlife crises, just like humans do. So, if you see a balding Chimpanzee driving a convertible. Don’t worry, you’re not high. It’s just, that chimp is working through some issues!
Continuing with the high life, Arizona police recently arrested a man for smuggling 425 pounds of marijuana. A drug sniffing dog busted him; the drugs were sealed inside Pinatas. A Pinata filled with weed, wouldn’t that be the best party favour surprise ever.
Finally, after 7 years of marriage, race car driver Danica Patrick has filed for divorce. She says it is an amicable split. However, I hear problems began after she started racing for NASCAR, her career just kept driving their relationship in circles!*
-Gilmore
--Oh P.S. *-Remember my golden rule kids: When a jokes that bad, it doesn’t have to be funny! ;-)

These Are The Things I Think About -- Nov6th-18th
Been a busy few weeks, lets catch up with some highlights…
First things first, Remembrance Day was a week ago. Hope you attended a ceremony, or at the very least observed the 2 minutes of silence at 11 a.m.* ‘Lest We Forget’
One for the ladies, Channing Tatum was named ‘Sexiest Man Alive 2012’ in this week’s release of “People” magazine. Coincidentally I hear he also won again this year for ‘Actor with the Goofiest Name’. Channing Tatum…what the heck is that?!
To medicine, looks like female Viagra is in the works. Instead of a pill, the drug will be drops of liquid taken up the nose. The effects are said to last for 6 hours. Awesome if you are ready for some lovin’, terrible if you accidentally take it instead of nasal spray.
From the music world, INXS announced this week they are splitting up after over 30 years as a band. To which the rest of the world has just collectively said. ‘Reallly, INXS was still together?!’
Yesterday was ‘Unfriend Day’ on facebook. If you missed it, take some time today and get rid of all those people you really don’t like or don't want to associate with. Twilight Fans for example…Seriously, unless you are a teenage girl you have no reason to be a fan of these movies.
In a recent statement Lindsay Lohan said she’s still seeking ‘true love’. For those not familiar with Lindsay Lohan terminology, by seeking she means searching, and true love of course means cocaine...Zing!
Finally, be careful when you make a bet with your kid. A 7 year old boy just got his dad to get him a cat after betting he could get more then 1000 likes regarding the idea on facebook. So far he is up to 110 thousand likes… Crazy Cat lovers on the internet, huh, who knew?!
-Gilmore
--Oh P.S. *-seriously, if you didn’t at least do this shame on you!
P.S.S—Cool news for Led Zeppelin fans. Tomorrow ‘Celebration Day’ the concert DVD of their 2007 reunion in London comes out. Here’s the official release of Black Dog, enjoy!

These Are The Things I Think About -- Oct 29th-Nov05th
November 6th today. It’s US election day, here is a break from its never ending coverage...you're welcome.
Lets have a look at the past week that was Hurricane Sandy hit parts of Canada and a bulk of the US East Coast last Monday night. True story, in the scramble to prepare liquor stores were one of the first places to run out of supplies. Whether it’s was the hurricane or the booze, seems people were set on ending the night with the room spinning.
On a lighter note, we also had Halloween! Here’s some Halloween facts figures, & Trick or Tidbits (punny!) for you:
-Just like Potatoes, Fighting & St. Patricks Day, thank the Irish for Halloween. In the 1840s they brought the custom to North America. Halloween is infact a national holiday in Ireland.
-Great news for the kids. Experts say this year North Americans spent nearly 2 billion dollars on Halloween candy, an average of 44 bucks per house. Life is sweet, (no pun intended this time) these days for Trick or Treaters.
-At 220 calories & 13 grams of fat, turns out Reese’s Peanut Butter cups are the worst candy for you. But oh they are good aren’t they!
-And talking food, get this next to Superbowl Sunday Halloween night is the second busiest night of the year for pizza deliveries. You’ve gotta think delivery drivers have crazy stories come the end of the night
…One more, true fact; During the Civil War, the Pumpkin, at times, was used as a war helmet… Too weird to make up!
-Gilmore
--Oh P.S. We also started the week with a little scary, not in the good Halloween way, news. Word came down George Wendt, aka Norm from Cheers, was in the hospital. George was admitted for chest pains last Sunday. He has since had bypass surgery and is recovering. Here’s hoping he’s doing well…We’re thinking of ya Normy! Here’s some of his Classics:

These Are The Things I Think About -- Oct22nd-28th
Leave it to the Scottish. A Scotland Brewery has just created the world's strongest beer. Named ‘Armageddon’, the beer is 65 percent alcohol. Hey, whatever it takes to get you drunk enough to want to eat Haggis right?! A brewery spokesperson states “smelling it is probably enough to put you over the limit!”. And my guess, it’ll light your breath on fire too!…That's a fantastic Halloween trick by the way.
Yes, Halloween is on Wednesday, but the scariest most haunting news is already out. Confirmed, Avril Lavigne has recorded a cover of a Nickelback song. BARF!…Seriously, Shit covering shit into a new version of shit, well, it’s still shit!*. Forget the Scottish Beer, this is the real sign of Armageddon. The tune in question is “How You Remind Me”. How badly I never want to hear this I can’t put into words.
Continuing with musical idiocy. If Courtney Love’s perpetual stupidity doesn’t do it, this will certainly get Kurt Cobain rolling in his grave. CBS is developing a sitcom titled “Smells like Teen Spirit”. OK, 2 problems with this: A. Cobain would probably see this as a money grab and hate the idea. B. That song came out 21 years ago. Doesn’t anyone in show biz have an original idea these days? The show is about an 18 year entrepreneur working out of his parents garage instead going to Harvard. Oh yeah, just what that song is all about…come on! Time to go back to the drawing board CBS.
Finally it’s a been a kind of ‘who cares’ week in technology. Apple unveiled the iPad Mini on Tuesday. Isn’t that just an iPhone?…Not to be outdone Windows 8 launched on Thursday. The latest software from Microsoft, I hear big highlights include newer, faster ways to crash.
-Gilmore
--Oh P.S. *-I guess the video below really spoke to me, ha!
...Awesome news this week. Ricky, Julian & Bubbles are coming back! It’s official, the cast and crew behind the Trailer Park Boys are making a new movie. Filming is expected to start in March. This is gonna be Shit-tastic!

These Are The Things I Think About -- Oct15th-21st
The Walking Dead is on tonight! If you caught the season premiere last weekend, you definitely weren’t the only one. Numbers are in, nearly 11 million people tuned in making it the most-watched cable drama broadcast ever! And, I’ll guess about 10.5 million of the viewers already find Lori annoying again this season…Why can’t the Walkers get her dammit!
Now to a man who may infact be dead inside, Lance Armstrong. Following recent near undisputed evidence he doped during his bicycle racing career, and, inturn, has been lying through his teeth to everyone about it; Lance stepped down as chairman of his Livestrong cancer-fighting charity this week. Nike has also severed all ties with him…Is there anyway this guy can still considered be a role model? I say no.
Continuing in Sports, US swimmer Michael Phelps has been named 'The Fittest Man of All Time' by Men’s Health Magazine. Bruce Lee was second, then Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jack Lalane. Eating a 12,000 (yes, 12-thousand!, you read that right) calorie a day sugar based diet, you gotta think Michael Phelps is probably also the most likely man of all time to get diabetes too!
Quick hit from entertainment. Honey Boo Boo's mom, says her family is like the ‘Lohans’. Not sure which side should be more insulted following that statement. Perhaps it is the rest of us who ought to be. Both those groups of idiots should in no way be household names.
--By the way Lindsay Lohan has agreed to be interviewed by Barbara Walters. I say Barbara opens with this question: What the hell is wrong with you?!... Seriously, as a fellow redhead I think Lindsay should have her ginger card revoked….Boo to you Ms. Lohan, for shame, grow up.
New stats show having an NFL team with a winning record is a significant indicator of increased housing sales and population growth among US cities. Better the record, the better off both economically & socially, your city will be…This of course means, forget the auto industy, Detroit needs to blame the Lions!
And finally a kid in New York City had to be rushed to hospital after swallowing a rubber ducky. He’s ok, but now he squeaks when you poke his belly…Ha!
-Gilmore
--Oh P.S. Don Cherry is in the news.
Some European players with contracts in the KHL have stated they would stay in Europe this season, even if the NHL lockout ends. In response, this was said, 'let them stay there. It will make more room for the players from Quebec and North America. As a supporter and former player I do not care for players who want to stay in Europe. Let them.”. This said by former NHLer Guy Lafleur. It was Don Cherry, in regards to Guy's statement, tweeted this: "Now imagine if I said that? Whoah."…He’s right, isn’t he?!, people would be roasting Don over the coals if he said that, Guy…No big deal.
But here’s where I really get intrigued. Offering advice to NHL players Cherry says “Quit tweeting and talking to the media about how bad Bettman and the owners are..” he adds “Quit ticking them off, why make them more determined." And, once again, he’s right!
…Do you realize what is happening?! Don Cherry, right now, is the voice of reason in the NHL!…There’s some Apocalyptic Food for Thought if there ever was. Yep, this lockout needs to end now. Anyone else see fire in the sky this morning?

Unless you missed it, Skydiver Felix Baumgartner set a record today. He successfully completed the highest & fastest free fall in history. The original plan was to jump on Tuesday, but he had to reschedule due to “wind conditions”. A trip to Taco Bell gone wrong perhaps...
Looks like Big Bird might be this year’s top Halloween costume. This due to Mitt Romney’s comments during the presidential debates. Not one to let us down, I hear Mitt promises an even more inane comment before the election. My guess, a random reference to MR. T….hard not to pity the fools who vote for him anyway.
The American Music Award Nominees came out this week. Any highlights, no. Seriously, outside of 2 nominations, the rest consisted of horrible pop crap, it was a brutal nominees list. Oh American Music Awards, you used to be cool...And music in general, for shame!
A new survey says 20% of women prefer a man with a hairy chest. Incase you need to know ladies, 0% of men prefer a hairy chest on you…a little public service announcement from me to you.
On the flip side, guys, listen up, a new study says women are more attracted to men with red complexions. Start holding your breath; and watch the ladies come running!...You know, to sit you up, cause you fainted, fell, and cracked your head.
In music, Guns N Roses is working on a new CD…So expect that sometime in 2027….Lil’ Chinese Democracy joke for you.
Finally, for the nerds, confirmed, an Angry Birds Star Wars edition is in the works. The game will be out in early November. Now you can be nerdy & waste time all at once…beautiful age we live in isn’t it?!
-Gilmore
--Oh P.S. From the snack world. Do you like Pringles? Well, this is either brilliant, or Pringle blasphemy. Heading toward the holiday season 3 new flavours are coming our way. Pumpkin Pie Spice, White Chocolate Peppermint and Cinnamon & Sugar. Not sure if those are flavours I want in a chip...What do you think? Leave me a comment below!

These Are The Things I Think About -- Oct1st-8th
First things first, Happy Thanksgiving! Hope you've had a great one. Here's what happened in the world this week:
A sign of good economic news perhaps? After falling 3 straight years, new numbers say beer drinking among North Americans is up! Considering we’re heading into a hockey lockout I say this is the time we need to bear down and show our gusto. Let’s keep up the good work everybody, keep drinking!…Mmmm beer…
More nudie photos from the Royal Family came out this week. Good news, we dodged a bullet, they aren’t of the Queen. Instead, more naked photos of Kate Middleton. Last time it was topless, this time around bottomless.
From my only in India file, doctors there recently removed a 4-pound hairball from a 19 year-old girl. She had the hairball because of a strange habit of eating hair and chalk at school. I hear her reasoning for doing it, “…still tasted better then Indian food”
For the 13th year in a row, Coca-Cola is the world’s Top Brand. I’ll guess one of the most sugary too! The rest of the top 5 are computer companies Apple IBM, Google & Microsoft.
Talking Microsoft…(classy segue time!)…Scientists now confirm American men are smaller then Canadian men when it comes to the size of their “man parts”. Just so you know ladies, the average Canadian man measures almost ½ and inches larger then the average American man…Bonus points Canadian men also know how to do it in a canoe, or a snow suit!
Finally some food for thought, a Philadelphia strip club is being sued after a man’s bladder was ruptured during a lap dance. Oh, that can’t be good…The stripper landed on him so hard he’s also suffered nerve damage in his back. My only question, exactly how big was this stripper?! Philadelphia size maybe…they do like their cheese steaks!
-Gilmore
--Oh P.S. Friday was Global James Bond Day, this in celebration of the 50th anniversary of 007's. Friday’s date in 1962 the first Bond, Dr. No starring Sean Connery was released in theatres.
Here’s the debut of Bond, his first scene his first line:

These Are The Things I Think About -- Sept24th-30th
A new list is out ranking the Happiest countries across the globe. Canada has tied with Sweden for number 2, just Denmark edged higher to take top spot. Obviously this ranking was done before the NHL lockout, many Canadians are pretty cranky about it these days.
In Sports, NFL and the NFL Referees have reached a deal to end their lockout (make notes NHL!). And Vegas will probably be the most thankful. Oddsmakers say the bad call by the replacement refs last Monday in the Packers VS Seahawks game, affected as much as $150 million dollars in bets.
A Kanye West sex tape is being shopped around. Apparently it’s 40 minutes long, I hear the whole time Kanye repeatedly interrupts saying “I’m gonna let you finish” ruining the moment for the girl.
The State Fair of Texas starts is now underway. Now legendary for its deep fried food ideas, last year it was all about deep fried bubble gum. This year’s highlights will be Deep fried Jumbalaya & Fried Bacon Cinnamon Rolls…Texas sized Heart Attacks sold separately.
It’s been a big week on TV as many shows made their season or series debuts. Always a significant week for TV debuts, notables over the years include Gilligan’s Island in 1964, and in ’62 the Beverly Hill Billies. I hear it was also the original title for The Kardashians back when their abomination of a show debuted.
A new tip to investigators lead police to the driveway of a suburban home in Detroit Thursday. What did they think might be buried under the driveway?..Jimmy Hoffa. Turns out it’s “most likely” not him. Hmm, maybe it’s Amelia Earhart, or D.B. Cooper, or one of those escaped Alcatraz prisoner guys.
Finally, Canada’s Walk of Fame held their annual induction ceremony this past weekend. Those honoured include Randy Bachman (he turned 69 this week too), in a cool posthumous honour, Phil Hartman best known from Saturday Night Live & News Radio was inducted. And, on the 40th Anniversary week of the historic series, the entire Team Canada from the ‘72 Canada Russia Summit Series. Good Stuff!
-Gilmore
--Oh P.S. This Tuesday marked a sad day in Rock & Roll history. The day Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham died. Just 32 at the time of his death. Here’s a small tribute:
John Henry “Bonzo” Bonham May 31st 1948-Sept 25th 1980
Here's the full concert, you're welcome:

These Are The Things I Think About -- Sept17th-23rd
Music news to get us going, a new study finds more than twice as many music albums are downloaded illegally VS legally. The study, of course was done by Captain Obvious Incorporated.
Bill Clinton’s former intern, Monica Lewinsky is back in the news. Story is she’s been offered $12 million dollars to write her memoir. Just an offer at the moment; like her experiences with Bill, I hear getting the book deal done could turn into a real sticky situation….Zing!
A movie about the life of Anna Nicole Smith is in the works. Both Christina Hendricks & Jenny McCarthy* are in the running for the title role. Producers say it’ll come down to a final important audition. I hear they’ll need to make out with a 90 year old Texas Billionaire.
The iPhone 5 came out Friday. People camped out as long as a week to get one, and pre-ordered phones are selling for as high as $1600 dollars. Just so you know, these individuals all need to get a life...Jesus people, it’s a phone, not a cancer cure, get over it! Bet you’re the same folks who at one point have paid hundreds for a ‘Tickle Me Elmo'...Do you even know where yours is now?
Finally, a Fifty Shades of Grey inspired Chicken cookbook is coming out. This has ‘wrong’ written all over it. Seriously, those 50 Shades books are nothing but poorly written BSDM girl porn. So what exactly will these recipes have us doing to a chicken before it goes in the oven?..Just sayin’!
-Gilmore
--Oh P.S. *-In addition to Anna I am a fan of both these ladies (Jenny my all time fave).
Let me know who you think best fits the role, drop me a comment below!

These Are The Things I Think About -- Sept 10th-16th
Secretly taken topless photos of Kate Middleton were published this week. First, Harry, then Prince Philip, now Kate. Do any of the Royal Family ever keep their clothes on?...Crossing my fingers the Queen does.
The iPhone 5 has been revealed. Thinner, with a bigger screen…..And umm, that’s about it. Worst part, you can now consider the iPhone 4s you just spent hundreds on kinda worthless…A slow clap for you Apple fans.
Restaurant chain Red Robin Burgers have just began selling Oktoberfest Beer Milkshakes. I hear the company wanted to combine people’s love for Ice Cream, Beer, and Wicked next day Sh*&ts!*
Elvis Presley’s personal Bible has sold at an auction. The King’s Bible fetched 94 thousand dollars. Scoring that much, you gotta think the auction house said a big “Thank you, thank you very much” to the purchaser ;-P
Mike Tyson says his next career goal is to quote ‘sing and dance in musicals'. Really?!...I hear people are already lining up to have Mike bite their ears off first!
And finally this might just be the ultimate low blow. Teachers are striking in Chicago. Out protesting, some have been holding signs reading: "Mayor Emanuel Likes Nickelback''….Oh that’s harsh, very harsh…and pretty damn funny! Well played Chicago teachers, well played.
-Gilmore
--Oh P.S. *-Yeah this kind of Wicked Sh*&ting!

These Are The Things I Think About -- Sept 3rd-9th
Starting in daytime TV, The Price Is Right should hang their heads in shame. Taping their 40th anniversary show Tuesday, Bob Barker was not invited to participate. Booo!… I say, to help control the idiot population The Price Is Right’s decision makers should now be the ones get spade or neutered…
It was another big week in US Politics as the Democratic National Convention was on. Former President Bill Clinton delivered a rousing speech pushing Americans to re-elect Barack Obama. I hear his original plan was to pull a Clint Eastwood*; of course Bill Clinton would've had his conversation with a Stripper Pole.
McDonald's will open their first vegetarian restaurant in India next year. A Vegetarian McDonald’s huh?…I don’t know what the big deal is, it’s not like they’ll need to change any menu ingredients….MMmmm Salt & Corn Byproduct
Police in Florida are searching for two men, who tried to rob a psychic of $500. Really?!, you’d think the psychic would have seen that coming… just sayin’ :-P
The NFL season got into full swing this weekend. There’s lots of questions surrounding it. How will Peyton Manning and the Broncos do? Colts, can they turn things around without him....And most importantly how will analysts still fit the name Brett Favre into each and every conversation.
Finally, in Pennsylvania, a man was recently arrested for shoplifting meat. Police report he fled the store after stuffing $68 worth down the front of his pants…I hear the man claimed he had a hot date, and was just hoping to impress.

These Are The Things I Think About -- Aug 27th-Sept 3rd
Well let’s start with the Super Mega Happy News! If you missed it, breaking news Thursday afternoon, Jersey Shore has been cancelled. The coming season will be its last. I feel smarter already....less greasy too.
Just in time too, a burger joint in the US is now selling the “Snooki” Burger. I hear just like her, the burger is shrivelled from sitting under a heat lamp, kinda smelly…and no self respecting man will eat it
Have you started Eastwooding* yet? It’s the latest term coined following Clint Eastwood’s speech at the Republican National Convention. I actually have a copy of his speech, originally, he was going to go all Dirty Harry on them…His final message “Go ahead, vote my way!”
A couple notable birthdays to pass along from this week. Timmins’ own Shania Twain turned 47. Turns out she shares her Birthday with funnyman/fellow musician Jack Black, he turned 43. I smell duet! Who wouldn’t want to hear Shania Twain on a Tenacious D album?!…Just sayin’…
It would be the greatest album of all time…Or at least a tribute to it....Ha!
In sports. Looks like the NHL is gonna screw its fans, again. A Lockout is looming. If we do get an NHL season there'll be lots of Hockey Night in Canada to watch though. Celebrating their 60th season, HNIC will host 101 regular season games featuring Canadian teams. I crunched the numbers HNIC will give us 25 chances to watch the Leafs lose this year.
Finally the latest issue of the “National Enquirer” features an interview with a former male pilot claiming a 6-year relationship with John Travolta. The pilot adds, Travolta infact had multiple male partners at the time …The Creepiest part, I hear he called them his “Sweat Hogs”**
-Gilmore
--Oh P.S. *-Eastwooding: the act of posting online photos of yourself talking to an empty chair….Yep, this is the world we live in kids.
**-Don’t know the reference? You are too young for your own good. You need to revisit a little thing called classic 70s TV.
P.S.S.-- I’m sure you heard Jerry Nelson, the voice of the Count on "Sesame Street" has passed away. Jerry was “Seven, Seven, Seventy Eight, Years old”…AH! AH! AH! AH-wful news isn’t…
Kids of all ages everywhere will miss the count, and Adults of all ages will get a chuckle out of this:

These Are The Things I Think About -- Aug 20th-26th
Big news the start of the week, word movie director Tony Scott committed
suicide. Story is he was working on the Top Gun sequel at the time of his
death…Which, of course, begs the question, just how bad is the script for Top
Gun 2?! …What, too soon?…or, not soon
enough, perhaps
Here's something suicide inducing: Chad Kroeger of Nickelback* & Avril Lavigne are getting married. I personally cannot stop laughing. These 2 clowns are perfect for each other**.
Forbes is out with its Top 10 Most Powerful Celebrity Women list. No
real surprise Oprah sits in the top spot. And, proving what is wrong with the
world, Lady Gaga is the current number 2…Hey good for Lady Gaga, but definitely
bad for the rest of us.
IKEA annonced this week they are planning to build an entire new
district to the city of Hamburg, Germany. It will feature IKEA apartments,
stores, and office buildings…I hear all of it will be put together with an
Allen key, and easily convert into bookshelves.
Kim Kardashian recently purchased a 100 thousand dollar toilet. Guess
she needed something appropriate to store her talent in...-ZING!
And it was a tough week for the Armstrongs. First Lance
announced he was dropping his fight against doping charges. Then, first man on
the Moon, Neil passed. I sure hope Stretch is still doing ok....
-Gilmore
--Oh P.S. *-NB is hands down the worst band in the world. Just thought I'd reiterate, as this can never be pointed out too often.
**-For a look at some of the funniest online comments about the pair visit my work Blog HERE. If you've got a good one to add, lemme know!

These Are The Things I Think About -- July 30th-Aug19th
Been busy on vacation (excellent time off thanks), etc., so we’ll catch up with a few weeks in one. Here we go…
Well it’s not so Grrrreat! days for Tony the Tiger. A thief recently stole a truck carrying 24 thousand dollars worth of Frosted Flakes. Cops have no leads, but I hear security around Milk trucks & Spoon factories have been increased.
Police in South Carolina recently arrested a man for breaking into a home. Cops found him naked with a computer mouse jammed up his butt. Charged with resisting arrest, assault, and indecent exposure; I sure hope Police are also making him buy the homeowner a new mouse!
Ever made a bad deal? Get taken in a scam and lost your shirt? You still make better business decisions then Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. The company’s stock hit less then 20 bucks a share this week. Mark has personally lost over 7 Billion dollars. OUCH!… Look for the new “Give Mark Zuckerberg a Hug” icon next time you login into your Facebook account.
It’s changing of the guard on the Price is Right. The show is adding a male model to help present the show cases, & prizes. I’m coining it now, we’re going from Barkers Beautys to Drews Dudes…. Copyright Gilmore…
Lindsay (L)Hohan has been banned from several Mexican hotels. Jeez! How f’ed up do you have to be to get banned from ANYTHING in Mexico. Lindsay if you are reading this, it’s time to start cleaning up your act sweetheart.
Just so you know, former Chicago Bull Dennis Rodman is writing a children's book. I hear Chapters include basketball, tattoos and you, and Dennis’ tips on how to wear a wedding dress,
And finally, confirmed, Mel Gibson has ruled out starring in another “Lethal Weapon*” movie. Guess he’s getting too old for that shit… HA!
-Gilmore ...Drop me a comment if you've got a good rule to add!
--Oh P.S. *--Working on remembering all my "Lethal Weapon" drinking game rules, hope to post them soon. A few examples:
Everytime Murtaugh says “Riggs”:
take a drink –yeah, you might get hammered on this rule alone!
Someone says “I’m getting too Old for this Shit”: Finish your drink
A saxophone plays: take a drink
3 Stooges reference: take 3
drinks
...Drop me a comment if you've got a good rule to add!

These Are The Things I Think About -- July 23rd–29th
Well the Olympics have started. Just to prove the British hate us, The Spice Girls will reunite to perform together during the Closing Ceremonies. You’ve been warned.
By the way an interesting Olympic side story comes from Jamaica. Jamaica, always a good source for Olympic side stories. The Bobsled team in Calgary, for example. Well this time it’s a cool musical connection. Cedella Marley, the daughter of music legend Bob Marley; she has designed all of Jamaica’s 2012 Olympics wear. No word if the team plans to smoke theirs after the games
Moving on from the Olympics a huge, “King Size” if you will, annual event is on this weekend here in Canada. The “Collingwood Elvis Festival”. Collingwood will be an absolute Zoo this weekend, but you gotta think it’ll be a great weekend to work in the service industry. Think about it, with all those Elvi? Elvises?…Umm impersonators there, no matter how bad a job you do, you are pretty much guaranteed to hear a “Thank you, Thank you very much” when you are done ;-)
Heading toward the Republican National Convention, a strip club in Florida is hiring a Sarah Palin look-a-like. “I can see Russia from my Stripper Pole” (in your best Tina Fey doing Sarah Palin voice, of course). Infact, the club recently spent a million dollars in renovations, and expects business to quadruple during the convention. Guess we know how low on the list political issues actually are during these conventions.
To show bizz, in a new poll of ‘Stars Who Have Grown Old Gracefully’ Helen Mirren has been chosen number 1. Helen turned 67 Thursday by the way. Following her are Dame Judi Dench & Meryl Streep. Lindsay Lohan was on the list too, till someone realized she is 26, not 86…. Lindsay Lohan, more proof drugs are bad kids!
And finally, Kim Kardashian says she wants to be a Bond girl. A quote from her “That would be the ultimate.” A quote from the rest of the world --We will disown the James Bond franchise if Kim Kardashian becomes a Bond girl!!-- Don’t do it!…..Only thing Kim Karsadhian has in common with James Bond is her IQ…. Double O Seven!
-Gilmore
--Oh P.S. Every now and then you come across a story deserving of a slow clap. This one comes from Wawa. Good ole Wawa, its more then just a goose statue! A man there recently shot himself in the head trying to kill a mouse. He managed to do this by whacking the mouse with the butt end of a rifle. The gun was loaded, it went off. The bullet grazed his forehead. Oh yes, a slow clap to you sir indeed, well done… Idiot
Police have charged him with careless use of a firearm. No word if they also issued him a ticket for stupidity.
By the way an interesting Olympic side story comes from Jamaica. Jamaica, always a good source for Olympic side stories. The Bobsled team in Calgary, for example. Well this time it’s a cool musical connection. Cedella Marley, the daughter of music legend Bob Marley; she has designed all of Jamaica’s 2012 Olympics wear.

Moving on from the Olympics a huge, “King Size” if you will, annual event is on this weekend here in Canada. The “Collingwood Elvis Festival”. Collingwood will be an absolute Zoo this weekend, but you gotta think it’ll be a great weekend to work in the service industry. Think about it, with all those Elvi? Elvises?…Umm impersonators there, no matter how bad a job you do, you are pretty much guaranteed to hear a “Thank you, Thank you very much” when you are done ;-)
Heading toward the Republican National Convention, a strip club in Florida is hiring a Sarah Palin look-a-like. “I can see Russia from my Stripper Pole” (in your best Tina Fey doing Sarah Palin voice, of course). Infact, the club recently spent a million dollars in renovations, and expects business to quadruple during the convention. Guess we know how low on the list political issues actually are during these conventions.
To show bizz, in a new poll of ‘Stars Who Have Grown Old Gracefully’ Helen Mirren has been chosen number 1. Helen turned 67 Thursday by the way. Following her are Dame Judi Dench & Meryl Streep. Lindsay Lohan was on the list too, till someone realized she is 26, not 86…. Lindsay Lohan, more proof drugs are bad kids!
And finally, Kim Kardashian says she wants to be a Bond girl. A quote from her “That would be the ultimate.” A quote from the rest of the world --We will disown the James Bond franchise if Kim Kardashian becomes a Bond girl!!-- Don’t do it!…..Only thing Kim Karsadhian has in common with James Bond is her IQ…. Double O Seven!

--Oh P.S. Every now and then you come across a story deserving of a slow clap. This one comes from Wawa. Good ole Wawa, its more then just a goose statue! A man there recently shot himself in the head trying to kill a mouse. He managed to do this by whacking the mouse with the butt end of a rifle. The gun was loaded, it went off. The bullet grazed his forehead. Oh yes, a slow clap to you sir indeed, well done… Idiot
Police have charged him with careless use of a firearm. No word if they also issued him a ticket for stupidity.

These Are The Things I Think About -- July15th-22nd
Yeah, yeah, yeah, a day late. Hey, I'm a busy man. Lets get to it then...
Olympics start Friday, and it seems the bedroom is where all the records might get shattered. 150 thousand condoms are being handed out to Athletes. 15 each. Except to Speed Walkers of course. Lets face it, they won't need them anyway ;-P
It was Moon Day this past Thursday, marking Neil Armstrong becoming the first to walk on the Moon in 1969. True fact, original plans were for Buzz Aldrin to take the first historic step, but he pissed off people at NASA, so no dice. There’s a lesson in there kids.
A new survey says women spend 91 hours a year applying make-up. Thing is ladies, a little make up goes a long way. Guys everywhere spend about the same time each year wishing some of you would wipe all that crap off your face.
Continuing with ladies we head down under. Concern is adult escorts in New Zealand keep damaging traffic signs. How? Using street signs as stripper poles, escorts are often bending, if not breaking them. My only question. Exactly how large of individual are these escorts?! Takes a big person to snap a stop sign post in half, just sayin’…
In sports, long time New Jersey Devil captain Scott Stevens just got a new job. Scott has been named an assistant coach with the team. Word is out to coaching staff around the league, keep your heads up walking to and from the dressing rooms!
And finally just so you know, The Church of Scientology may start its own cable channel. Oh this is not going to end well!

--Oh P.S. David Hasselhoff turned 60 this past week. Which leads us to this:
--This is the video equivalent of a car crash, you can’t look away--

These Are The Things I Think About -- July9th-15th
Friday the 13th came and went, hope all was good for you.
Its official, Steven Tyler & Jennifer Lopez are done with American Idol. Crossing my fingers for a Randy Jackson exit. Come on dawg, you know you want out. It’s been 10 years; Seacrest is happy to be 'Wooderson' from Dazed & Confused, but do you wanna be that Randy?, the old guy still hanging out at high school? …Just sayin’
Police in Michigan had to ask a woman to remove a wooden penis from her yard this week. But here’s the thing about this story. She received the carved wooden penis from her stepfather, as a house-warming gift. What isn’t wrong with that sentence?!!…This is a Springer episode waiting to happen. “Here’s a carved wooden penis I made for you, step daughter”…Creepy!
Another sign of serious problems in the world. Forbes released their 'Highest-Paid Celebrities Under 30' list. Here is your Top 3. Taylor Swift ($57 million), Justin Bieber ($55 million), Rihanna ($53 million)…Wrong, wrong and wrong!
The etch a sketch turned 52 this week. I had more on this story but accidentally shook what I was writing it on... :-P
In entertainment, following "Magic Mike" Channing Tatum needs to earn back some guy points. Here’s how he might: Playing the ultimate bad ass. Story is Channing (seriously buddy get a real name) is up for the role of Evil Knievel* in a movie about the Stuntman’s life. Ok, Step one, grow some chest hair & drop the dance moves! Step 2, make it authentic, suffer 433 broken bones. Yep, that is why Evil Knievel was an ultimate bad ass!
And it’s wonderful times for oral health. Dentists in Chile have developed a new chemical to make teeth cavity proof. They call it 'Keep 32'. It could be on the market within a year and a half. Guess what the rest of the world is getting England for Christmas next year.
-Gilmore
--Oh P.S. A little video extra for you. McDonald’s has revealed its Special Sauce recipe. It’s funny because myself and everyone I’ve spoken too are surprised it isn’t just mayo left out in the sun. Here it is:
P.S.S-- *Useless Gilmore fact. Evil Knievel & Myself share the same birthday.

These Are The Things I Think About -- July3rd-8th
Well if it is Monday and you are reading this,
congratulations your computer isn’t hacked. In the US the FBI are shutting down
servers Monday in attempts to get rid of an internet virus. Internet service around
the world could be affected. Keep an eye out for that! Yes the start of the
work week could turn into a real mess.
If the internet does go down you won’t get to check
out the new facebook feature. Facebook has added same-sex marriage icons.
Congratulation gay folk, you now too can annoy the hell out of everyone with
your ongoing relationship updates….Anderson Cooper*, you’re first.
If facebook adds a self-sex icon, watch for multiple postings from Shades of Grey readers…...and teenage boys.
If facebook adds a self-sex icon, watch for multiple postings from Shades of Grey readers…...and teenage boys.
Classy segue, perhaps the first icon to promote
self-sex, the Bikini celebrated its 66th anniversary this week! And,
in what is arguably one of the best marketing lines ever, the Bikini was
originally described as “4 triangles of nothing”…brilliant! Its not too late to award the inventor of the
Bikini the nobel prize…What other clothing item has brought this much joy the
world?!…I'm just sayin’…
From the 'Only In
America' files. Fourth of July celebrations were on in the US this past
Wednesday. One of the many annual traditions is the Coney Island Hot Dog Eating
Competition. This year Joey “the Jaws” Chestnut ate 68 hot dogs in 10
minutes to win his 6th straight
champion title. I crunched the numbers. In 10 minutes Joey consumed over
21,000 calories! The average adult is supposed to consume around 2
thousand calories a day, in total. So, Joey ate more then 10 times the daily
input in 10 minutes…Does this mean 10 times the output his next trip to the
bathroom?….He’s gonna need a stack of Toilet Paper rolls, an Encyclopedia. And probably a
plunger.
Finally, Tim Horton’s across the country will be
offering free wifi at their locations. Check your email in the drive thru. This
free wifi will most likely make every Tim Horton’s even busier…like we needed
that. I just hope they’ll have some sort of filter to block out the porn sites.
The only Double Double I wanna experience at a Tim Horton’s the coffee kind.
-Gilmore
--Oh P.S. The world of science gave us big news this
week. Researchers at the Hardon Collider in Europe have discovered a boson.
This evidence is a big step in the discovery of a theorized particle called the
Higgs Boson. If found the Higgs Boson could lead to
answering many questions about the universe, physics and more. It’s cool stuff,
however pretty complicated. Check out this video for a, comic book style, easy
to understand explanation:
Since I’m showing
videos. Long time actor Andy Griffith passed away Monday. Best known as Matlock
and Sheriff Andy Taylor. Did you know, the theme song to The Andy Griffith Show
had words. Andy sang them. Here it is:
P.S.S-- *Yeah, Anderson Cooper
came out stating he is gay this week. If you are going to stop watching him
because of this, or think less of him as a news journalist, I have news update
for you, you are an ignorant fool… Oh, and feel free to never read my blog
again.

These Are The Things I Think About -- June25th-July2nd
First off Happy Canada Day Weekend! Hope you had an excellent one.
Not only was it Canada’s 145th birthday. On Thursday, the Birthday song had it’s Birthday. “Happy Birthday to You” was written by a Kentucky teacher in 1859. Happy 153rd “Happy Birthday”…There’s your useless fact of the day…. And perhaps a slightly painful overuse of the word Birthday*
Our American neighbours celebrate their Independence Day on Wednesday. If you watched any news last week you most likely heard The US Supreme Court voted to uphold Obamacare. The essentials of this, every American is required to have health insurance. Its estimated 4 million people absolutely refuse to. Fighting to NOT have health insurance, only in America!
Continuing with celebrations, next time you are out partying, mix those drinks a little lighter. A new test reveals each liter of Coca-Cola & Pepsi respectively contain .001% alcohol. Yeah, true.....I hear spit comes in at .003%
In entertainment, word is Simon Cowell interested in doing a Canadian version of the “The X Factor”. I already have a suggestion: they change it to The “Eh” Factor. Guaranteed at some point a judge will note “Hey that was pretty good Eh!” to one of the performers anyway; so why not just get that whole re-brand done from the start. Just sayin’...
Finally a little more Canadiana. He’s since returned home and is recovering, but it was Double Jeopardy for Alex Trebek last week. Alex was back in hospital after suffering a second heart attack in just a few months....And yes bad pun intended
-Gilmore
--Oh P.S. For the ladies, who instantly clicked when they read “Fifty Shades of Grey”, gotta talk about that, I guess. First, calm down…Seriously, you women are going way too crazy over these lady porn books! Secondly, if you hadn’t heard, the story is being made into a movie. And third, just so you know, the husband of the Fifty Shades of Grey author has written a book. His is called Crusher....Yeesh the things I do for my readers :-P
P.S.S.-- For the rest of us non lady porn obsessed folks.
It was announced this week Comedy Central is going to roast Roseanne this August. Very cool, although I had a somber moment as I instantly thought of late comedian Greg Giraldo, like his other roast appearances, he would have been awesome for this one. Need proof. Watch any of the roasts featuring him…particularly the roast of Larry the Cable Guy. It including the line at 1:05*…classic!
*-- To over use the word again, Gary Busey had a birthday on Friday, that “horse faced lunatic” is 68.

These Are The Things I Think About -- June18th-24th
Lets start with a cool info nugget I read this week. Looking at how the online world has changed our day to day lives, here's something to consider. Thanks to the Internet, we have gone from 6 degrees of separation to 3.74 degrees. We are now just over people 3 away from anyone on the planet! And just a touch past Pi for all you math lovers.....If, you've got a friend, with a friend, who knows Jenny McCarthy hook me up!
The Octomom's porno video was released this
week….Biggest movie opening since The Avengers. --Think about the last line for
a moment--…Stole that joke from Conan O’Brien*…send your letters to him.
More with the Octoloser, she is now
endorsing a loan company called Octoloan. Their interest rates are
as high as 600%. Also 600%, the amount the entire world is confident this lady
needs to F.O.A.D…. hint: final three words are Off And Die… figure it out.
Moving on, An Angry Birds theme
park is going to open in China. Where, I'm predicting, you will ironically play Angry Birds on
your phone while you wait in line for the rides.
Jim Carrey has pulled out
of the Dumb and Dumber sequel. Guess he thought the idea was dumb… or
dumber-er-er then when he first considered it.
Twitter went down for a while on
Thursday. It was chaos as Twitterers couldn’t Tweet that Twittier Twasn’t
Tweeting. Or something like that.
This will make you feel old. Cyndi Lauper
celebrated her birthday Friday. I woulda never guessed, Cyndi is 59! When asked what
girls her age want for their birthday…Cyndi, of course replied, girls just
wanna have fun :-P
From our "terribly bad" joke files: The new Batman
movie, Dark Knight Rises opens soon. Tickets are already being scalped for 150
dollars. Wonder if they scalp them for 75 on cheap nights?… Hey, I warned ya it
was bad.
And finally a psychologist in the UK crunched some
numbers; According to him Wednesday (June 20th) was to be the
‘Happiest Day Of the Year’. I hope it came true for you. And, back to that
first story. You hook me up with Jenny McCarthy, you’ll make it the happiest
day of the year for this guy, no matter what the date on the calendar!
-Gilmore
--Oh P.S.
Sad P.S. this time as I need to revisit this photo.
There's me, and 3 brilliant people from work. (Steph, Stefano & Josh) Seriously, I love this photo cause it is proof I knew these 3 before their talents made them huge! The one on the end is Josh
Hoffman. (read more about Josh HERE, go to the bottom) Today was his last day
at work, and in Timmins, as he’s headed west to B.C. for a new job. Always a
fan, he is one of my favourite people to listen to on the air, he’s a hell of a guy too. Best of Luck to Him!
P.S.S-- *-That awesome joke was passed along from
non other then Josh Hoffman!

These Are The Things I Think About -- June11th-17th
Well I’m sure you caught it Friday night. Nik Wallenda
crossed Niagara Falls on a tightrope. Sure it was a big deal, but the guy is a 7th generation Carnie, been doing it all his life, of course he thought he could
make it. Lets get over it and move on. Tight rope with a 7th
generation Carnie Monkey chasing him, then I’d be interested.
Today is Father’s day. Also known as “please don’t
let there be a card in the mail” day for single guys everywhere. But you know
it’s good to be a dad, as spending is up for them this year! last minute gift idea, if money is no object, you really wanna spoil him, I say fill up his car. OK, half a tank, you’re not that rich.
Then listen to his story about how gas used to be 20 cents a gallon……I smell father-child
bonding experience!
Talking kids. From today’s awesome file, a company
in Spain has designed a bed that makes itself.
What kid wouldn’t want that?!….Go make your bed. Done mom, bring on the
Cheerios!
In music, this one ain’t right. Rihanna, she
has now sold more singles in the UK than The Rolling Stones. Notable yes, but
come back when you’ve done more drugs then Keith Richards, then I’ll be
impressed.
Just as wrong….No wait, wronger. Naked photos of Jersey Shore’s Snookie
have surfaced online. Her publicist has confirmed it. Anyone else feel like
canceling their internet service today?
In fashion, Australian scientists
have taken edible undies to the next level. They’ve created a new line of
underwear made from red wine. They put a bacteria in the wine which turns it
into a cotton-like substance. My question, Why? I like my wine in a glass, not
covering my…. Zing.... yeah, bad zing :-P
And finally, next time you are
buying steaks or hamburgers for barbecuing stock up! Number Crunchers are
predicting the price of beef is set to jump big time… Yeah heard it here first
kids!
-Gilmore
--Oh P.S. Certainly couldn’t
mention this week without including the fact the L.A. Kings won the Stanley
Cup! They become the first 8th seed* to win the Stanley
Cup. It's the Kings' first Championship in franchise history. I’ll let Jonathan Quick
explain how great this team really is:
* yeah,
remember when everyone was saying 1st seed Vancouver was going to destroy them in the first round?!… I didn’t… Suck it ‘Nucks fans… hahaha!
P.S.S.--
And one for the Goodfellas fans. Henry
Hill, the man Ray Liotta played and whose life story inspired the movie, has
passed away. He was 69. Ray Liotta paid tribute to Henry this week saying quote
''I only met him a few short times so I can't say I knew him but, I do know he
lived a complicated life. 'My heart goes out to his family and may he finally
rest in peace.'' And I’ll pay a little tribute to Ray Liotta’s awesome
performance in his role as Henry here:
