These Are The Things I Think About -- Feb 25th-Mar4th

Gaaa!, running a day late on the Blog post*. Better late then never though, right? Here’s a look at the week that was the last, ummm, 8 days. 

Oscars went last Sunday. If you hadn’t heard this year’s Best Picture was Argo…I admit I don’t follow the movies closely, but I think it’s pretty darn cool a documentary about Toronto’s CFL team could win an Academy Award  ;-P

Also last Sunday, Jimmy Johnson won the Daytona 500. There was a bit of controversy at Daytona this year too. The day before the race, fans were injured following a crash. The scene in the crowd was pretty intense. Missing teeth, torn clothes, blood & vomit stained shirts everywhere, and then the crash happened. 

Black Bear Casino in Minnesota has created a new world record Cheeseburger. It’s huge!, 10ft in diameter, weighing more then 2 thousand pounds...Side order of heart attack? ‘Oh, You Betcha!’   --Said best outloud in your finest Minnesota accent of course!--

Barbara Walters returned to The View today. This following a long hospital stay including a nasty bout with Chickenpox of all diseases. Really, Chicken Pox…Just to be safe, I hope she remembered to get a Polio shot before she checked out. 

Donald Trump is being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. Weird, but, the more I think about it, the more it makes sense. Wrestling is known for it’s loud mouths, ridiculous personalities, and being fake. Yep, that’s pretty much Donald Trump. 

Finally, it seems IKEA is now part of the European horse meat scandal. They say US & Canadian stores haven’t been affected. However, I argue no; I think this is the real story behind the IKEA monkey. He was undercover investigating!…This does explain his snazzy coat, he was just trying to blend in with the Yuppie Toronto crowd      ..Yep, these are the things I think about!

--Oh P.S. *-The reason I’m running a day behind is I was away with people from work. My station & staff won a Rogers CEO Team Award, the first ever for a radio station, and we were flown to Toronto for a big celebration. Honoured for our broadcast coverage of the 2012 ‘Timmins 9’ Forest Fire, here is the excellent video the company showed during the awards ceremony:
