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!
