These Are The Things I Think About -- Apr29th-May5th

It’s May baby…NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs are here!* 

The new Bill & Hillary Clinton National Airport was dedicated Friday, in Little Rock, Arkansas. Bill Clinton I hear is super excited, having an airport named after him, he’s thinking Mile High Club trips will be that much easier. 

Food for thought, slight pun intended, for your coming summer plans. If you are visiting Alberta in July don’t forget to pack heart attack medicine. Calgary Stampede planners have announced the new food items set to debut in the Midway this year. Including, this absolute heart stopper: Deep Fried Philly Cheesesteak Rollups…I think my cholesterol went up just writing that sentence. 

A huge week in Sports, NBA centre Jason Collins, came out as gay. Following the announcement he says the support he's received has been “incredible”. Really, I thought he would have described it as “fabulous”.

Here’s an interesting tip. Research says swearing infront of someone is a good way to strengthen your relationships with friends, family, co workers and other people you know…So in that case. Thanks for reading, Fuckers! 

Clint Eastwood and his wife should perhaps do some swearing at each other. Sad news, his wife recently started seeing a therapist to deal with depression & anxiety their relationship is causing her. Worst part, I hear she is dealing with a lot of jealous feelings too, as Clint spends all his time talking to that damn chair instead of her. 

Here’s your proof there is something wrong with the world. “Two-and-a-Half Men” has been renewed for an 11th season. Wow, how the hell has this terrible show been on this long?! Remember MASH, the beloved, critically acclaimed show; its final episode set a television ratings record. It ran for 11 seasons. There my friend, is some comparative TV food for thought for ya.

--Oh P.S. *-Go Leafs Go!! I’ve said it many a time before and I’m saying it again. I love the opening montages CBC does before games, especially during the Playoffs. This is the opener from the Leafs first game against Boston. It’s awesome: (Happy Pat Burns at 2:15 just has to make you smile!) 

 

P.S.S.--Since we are talking hockey, in addition to the Toronto Maple Leafs triumphant return to the second season!, here’s my Top 5 things to look forward to during the Playoffs: 
#5- CBC HNIC opening montages  (seriously, I love these things!) 
#4- John Tortorella post game press conferences…They are magical aren't they
#3- Montreal fans rioting, win or lose 
#2- Horrendous US sportscasters showing highlights (I’ve never seen “Iced Haackey” or cheered for a “Samuel Cup” win before, Americans apparently do) 
#1- Gary Bettman getting booed when he presents the Stanley Cup!
