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!

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:
