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”**

--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:
