These Are The Things I Think About -- Nov 24th-30th

Been a while, let’s get up to speed. 

Bill Cosby, and Jian Gomeshi. Wow did you see this coming?! Bill Cosby alleged rapist. Jian Gomeshi alleged rapist. You can almost hear sweater sales, and Jello Pudding stocks plummeting. As for Jian. As of this week his life has turned into a popular headline out of Florida. “47, unemployed, living with his mother, and facing multiple sexual assault charges”…Actually, upon review, Jian Gomeshi, your life has just become a perfect dating site match for Honey Boo Boo’s Mom…. 

US Thanksgiving is upon us, with Black Friday today. Good news, as of writing this, no deaths reported from the shopping madness. Yet, at least. Hoping for myself and you, when the time comes we say goodbye to this world, it isn’t from being trampled to death at a Walmart. No one needs to go that way. Even People of Walmart. 

On a lighter note, it was a US Thanksgiving miracle last weekend. Competitive eater Joey “The Jaws” Chestnut, won a turkey eating contest. Joey ate over 9 pounds of turkey in 10 minutes; Obliterating the old record of just over 5 pounds in the same amount of time. Could you imagine the EPIC nap he must have had after? That’s a lot of Turkey, and a lot of Tryptophan. By the way Happy Birthday to Joey, he also turned 31 this week. You’ve got to wonder how many pounds of cake he ate in 10 minutes. 

OK, Time to play “Is it alive, or, Is it dead”. You are in a morgue, there’s a body, it’s been there 11 hours, there is no pulse, and no breathing. Is it dead? Turns out, nope. Well not in Poland at least. In Poland, a 91 year old lady woke up in cold storage in the morgue. Her niece, thought she wasn’t breathing, call 911 (or the Poland equivalent) her family doctor declares her dead. She’s put in body bag, sent to the morgue. Mental note, if you go to Poland try to avoid needing a Doctor 

And word this week Creed frontman Scott Stapp is said to be penniless. He's broke. I heard he was spotted standing infront of food bank with Arms Wide Open. :-P

-- Oh P.S. – Everyone is nerding out HUGE over Star Wars trailer that came out today. Looks good, seriously though people, you need to calm down a bit. It’s just 90 seconds of a flick still a year away. Let’s all relax a touch. Here it is if you’ve missed it so far:

These Are The Things I Think About -- Sept 22nd-28th

Taking a look at the Fall TV this week. My 2 cents on new shows. Already wondering how off I will be. Anywho, here we go: 

Gotham: Essentially the lead up to Batman, it’s Pre-Commissioner James Gordon fighting crime in the City of Gotham. This show looks good, let’s just hope it doesn’t get too cheesy or punny with it’s writing. When it comes to Batman on TV you gotta either go dark & edgy, or off the map Adam West era Batman cheesy & punny. Anywhere in-between, forget it. 

Black-ish: Great casting with Anthony Anderson (he’s really due for a big TV hit) and Laurence Fishburne. Trouble is, outside the casting, what does it have? It’s described as the ‘guy trying to keep up the family traditions with everyone/everything changing around him’ usual sitcom fare. If it’s usual sitcom writing, Black-ish will be Done-ish by the end of the season. 

True Detective: Technically not a new show. It’s got an all new story though, and all new cast. This year’s lead roles have been landed by Colin Farrell and Vince Vaughn…Now to wait patiently for the Vince Vaughn scenes where he’s talking a lot, and it’s really fast, and he’s not quite on a topic, but he’s mentioning relevant things, yet he’s not sure if they are relevant, though they could be relevant, so he’s saying them anyway, etc.,etc., etc.* 

How To Get Away With Murder: Again, this one’s got potential. It will all boil down to the writing. The show is about a Law Professor trying to solve a murder. Unless the murder was really interesting, or there is a whole other second story going on, it will be tough to see this storyline running multiple seasons. 

NCIS: New Orleans: The excitement of NCIS in the city of New Orleans. And the Mardi Gras type whackiness ensues…This one stars Scott Bakula, he’s usually pretty good. No Al, or Ziggy, though. I checked for all you Quantum Leap fans. 

Lavalantula: OK, this isn’t a TV show, however it is headed to your TV. Following the success of Sharknado 1 & 2, the SyFy Network has announced Lavalantula** (the Tarantula that spits Lava, silly) is in the work. Oh and it will star Steve Guttenberg and Micheal Winslow from the Police Academy movies….I’m already filing this in my much coveted “So Bad It’s Good” Folder 

-Gilmore 


-- Oh P.S. *-Yeah this scene. Just switch it out with Cops & Robbers type terminology




P.S.S. -- **-Try making your own SyFy Movie. Take an animal and match it with a natural disaster or something scary… My best, so far, is Quaketapus…. Oh, and Quaketapussy, it would that make a great Bond Girl name in a ‘007’ Porn Parody, just sayin.

These Are The Things I Think About -- Sept 15th-21st

Well it is an historical week to say the least, Scotland’s vote on Independence went on Thursday. It was a close vote, and in the end the majority went to 55% voting to stay with the UK. To celebrate a decision made, I say fire up the bag pipes!..Or grab a cat and squeeze it if that’s easier. Pretty much sounds the same right?!* 

From Scotland to the US. Sarah Palin and her family gave us a good ‘ole dose of ‘Merica, late last week. Word is the Palin family got into a drunken brawl at birthday party in Alaska. Oh classy!...Police do confirm a brawl took place, the Palins were there, and alcohol was a factor. ’Merica!... a slow clap to you Ms. Palin and family. 

What the heck is going on in the NFL?!. A few weeks into the season and seems even more arrests, charges, suspensions, and bans have happened than games. At this rate will there even be enough non-suspended players left to actually have games on Sunday come the end of the season. Yeesh!…And seriously, how does Roger Goodell still have a job? 

To Late Night TV, one from the history books. It was 29 years ago this week the very first ‘Top 10 List’ aired on Letterman. Back in his Late Night with David Letterman** days on NBC. The list: Top 10 Things that Almost Rhyme with Peas. 

And, a little more from NBC, they actually got a Late Night TV programming decision right the first time --A definite rarity for this network!…Tonight Show execs I’m looking at you..several times-- It was confirmed this week Darrell Hammond will return to Saturday Night Live as the shows new announcer. This following the passing of SNL announcer Don Pardo in August. The 40th season of Saturday Night Live, with Darrell behind the mic, airs next weekend. 

-Gilmore 


-- Oh P.S. *-Face it, Bagpipes are one instrument when played well: Amazing…When not played well: Painful 

P.S.S. -- **-here she be, some Letterman from 1985, enjoy:

These Are The Things I Think About -- Sept 1st-7th

Joan Rivers has died. News breaking yesterday afternoon. Whether you are a fan of Joan or not, you have to appreciate her as a comedic pioneer for so many*. She believed in laughter being a best medicine. A few zingers I’ve read, she may have got a kick out of, since the news broke: 
-Joan Rivers died doing something she dearly loved, getting unnecessary surgery 
-Joan had so much plastic surgery they need to recycle her instead of bury her 
Saw those jems on Twitter** 

In music, Metallica are getting into the Guinness Book of World Records. It’s official, Metallica is the only band to perform a concert on all seven continents. On that note All 7 continents have likely now experienced a hissy fit by Lars. 

A big online hack lead to naked and personal photos of celebrities hitting the Internet. Notable names, including Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton, had nude pics stolen through Apple’s Cloud system. Investigating, the company has stated the iCloud itself wasn’t compromised, it was the personal passwords of their iCloud users…Perhaps, though with Apple’s new iPhone 6 coming out next week, always the marketers, let’s not be surprised if a new 'iPorn' feature is boasted as part of their Cloud system. 

Finally, here’s one to chew on. Turns out, Tuesday mornings between 10-noon, is the most likely time you are to receive a Sext message…Let’s think about this. Tuesday from 10-12 you are likely at work. Sooooo, next Tuesday at 11 o’clock when Creepy Bill at works gets a message on his phone, and Creepy Bill then makes an even creepier smile while reading it. You know what happened!! 
Creepy Bill is getting Sext messages at work, right in front of you, just 2 desks over. And, you watched!  You Pervert     ..Enjoy your next therapy session ;-)

-Gilmore 


-- Oh P.S. *- A little sample of Joan, being Joan, on Letterman: 




P.S.S.-- **-Didn’t write those ones, do look for me on twitter though! Find me at work @TimminsQ92, and on my own @GenuineGilmore

These Are The Things I Think About -- June 16th-22nd

First up, a belated Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads out there. You’re your day was great I hope. And to non-Fathers, hope you didn’t get any surprise Father’s Day cards in the mail this year. 

More proof vinyl is making a comeback. I’ve been saying it for years, --my latest, cassettes too are making a comeback…You hear it here first!!-- and numbers are starting to show it. The latest, Jack White’s new album Lazaretto has sold over 40 thousand vinyl copies since last Tuesday; making it the highest first week vinyl sales for an album since 1991. Adding in digital downloads and CDs also makes Jack’s album debuted at number 1. This is good news. Rock & Roll ain’t dead just yet my friend…I’ll bore you with my whole theory, and reasons why I think rock is set to make a comeback another time. 

Elsewhere in the Rock World, Ozzy Osbourne is adding cartoon voicing, or mumbling at least, to his resume. He’s set to guest voice a character on the cartoon Bubble Guppies. The character’s name is Sid Fishy, and is described as a fish who loves being rotten. Me thinks the Bubble Guppies writers are Sex Pistols fans. 

It’s been some wild news about Tracy Morgan the past few weeks. His tour bus got hit by an 18 wheeler in a nasty accident. His friend and fellow comedian, James McNair, died in the crash. Tracy meanwhile has been in hospital with some serious injuries. Good news, he was upgraded to fair condition this week. Here’s hoping he’s still Bat Shit crazy though, cause that’s what makes Tracy, Tracy. And awesome. 

Unfortunately on the other end of things, I’m sure you heard, this past Sunday radio icon Casey Kasem died, he was 82. Sadly a huge family battle surrounded Casey’s final days. One can only speculate it wil; continue when it comes to sorting out Casey’s final wishes; Which, I hear, can be found hidden in the lyrics of this number 2 song from 1972. Now on to our long distance dedication. (all said in your best Casey Kasem voice of course!...Zoinks!!*) 

Actually a little dedication actually going out to James Gandolfini. It’s hard to believe, though it was a year ago Thursday, James died of a heart attack. James of course best known as Tony Soprano. James Gandolfini, missed by many. 

-Gilmore 


-- Oh P.S. *-Yes Casey Kasem was the voice of Shaggy on Scooby Doo, if you didn’t know

These Are The Things I Think About -- May 5th-11th

First things first, happy Mother’s Day to all the Moms this Sunday. You’ll have a fantastic day I hope. 

Also this Sunday, May Sweeps ends on TV, so expect to see the TV schedules to change soon, as shows struggling in the ratings will be given the boot. One rumoured to be on the chopping block was longtime Law Order spin-off 'SVU', it however has been renewed. Ice-T won’t be going back to rapping for at least another year. 

It was a scary week for fans of Jared Fogle --whoever they would be--, best known as Subway spokesperson Jared. Yeah that guy. Internet rumour was he died. Nope, it was just a hoax, those Subway sandwiches haven’t killed him yet. Jared is alive and living off his sweet sweet Subway money, while you go to work everyday. Such a feel good story, right. 

Some details on this year’s Much Music Video Awards are being announced. Imagine Dragons, and Lorde will perform at this year's show, that’s kinda cool. Most surprising though, I’m sure you agree, Much Music still plays videos?!..If they have awards based on them they must at somepoint, we can only assume. 

To movie news, the working title for the new Star Wars movie is out. It’s called Star Wars: "The Ancient Fear”. Let’s hope this a working title only. Dear Star Wars: Might want to have some folks working on that one, just saying’ 

And word is they are rebooting the Lethal Weapon* franchise with Thor, a.k.a. actor Chris Hemsworth. Really?!! Not sure about you, my thoughts though when it comes to Lethal Weapon becoming yet another Hollywood movie remake**…"I’m getting too old for this shit" 

-Gilmore 

--Oh P.S. *- Here’s the epically 80s trailer for the first Lethal Weapon. I’ve spoken before about a Drinking Game for this movie franchise. You could play the game on this trailer alone! All it’s missing is the saxophone in the background. 
Enjoy:

 


P.S.S.-- **-Found this gem looking for the original trailer. ‘Always Sunny in Philadelphia’ with some epic gold of their own:

 

These Are The Things I Think About -- Apr 28th-May 4th

May is here!...Spring?!, still waiting for it aren’t we. 

It’s huge days for Star Wars fans. May 4th tomorrow, May the 4th Be With You… Yes, this is a thing. And people get way too wound up for it. By the way, Star Wars nerds, watch out for Monday. May 5th, Revenge of the Fifth. Yes this too is a thing. 

These next two dates on the calendar are very fitting, as the new Star Wars movie cast was announced this week. Confirmed, Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, and Carrie Fisher will be back. So will the original actors behind Chewbacca, C-3PO and R2D2. Even the music will feel familiar. John Williams will be back to compose the score…A suggested running title for the new movie: ‘Return of the Geriatrics’…You know with Luke CanewithWalker. 

FHM magazine are out with their 2014 Sexiest Women list. This year it’s Jennifer Lawrence who tops the list. British actress Michelle Keegan, best known from ‘Coronation Street’ sits at second…Look her up, and you’ll now understand why people watch Coronation Street. 

Tony Danza and the Big Bang Theory will be represented well at the Kentucky Derby this year; The 140th running of the ‘Greatest 2 Minutes in Sports’, as they call it. Horses named Danza and Big Bazinga will be among the field. Post time is 6:24 on Saturday, just in time for NBC to cut away coverage from a NHL playoff game in overtime…Cause yes, yes NBC does do this. 

Finally, over to a network not run by idiots, CBS. Following David Letterman’s recent retirement announcement, another bombshell has dropped. Craig Ferguson has announced he is stepping down as host of the ‘Late Late Show’…Wha?!!

David Letterman touched a little on Craig’s brilliance this week*. And, myself, I have long spoke of the sheer brilliance of a Craig Ferguson monologue**. Now the big question, who will replace Craig?
...One online rumour starting up this past Friday was a push for Norm MacDonald. Personally, and sadly, I don’t see CBS doing this; It’s really too bad, cause Norm MacDonald hosting pretty much anything, is awesome. TV is always better with Norm. Follow the twitter hashtag #LateLateNormNorm to keep up to speed. 

-Gilmore 


--Oh P.S. *-Letterman talking about Craig Ferguson:




P.S.S.-- **-a fitting monologue sample of Craig talking about Dave, the day news broke of Dave’s sex scandal: 



…It will be a massive loss to Late Night TV when these 2 sign off.

These Are The Things I Think About -- Apr 21st–Apr 27th

It was a long weekend last time around, looking back, Captain America made another 200 million over Easter at the box office. On the flip side, the new Johnny Depp movie, umm, didn’t do so well. Transcendence, made about 11 million dollars. Ouch! Probably cost that much just to sign Johnny to do the movie. Those producers are taking a hit, big time. 

Now for this week's, “comic karmic movie producer irony of the week”… OK, working on a better title, anywho: 
Movie Producer, Jerry Bruckheimer says bad timing is delaying the making of Bad Boys 3. Really Jerry?!..It’s not a horrendous script, or just a flat out bad movie idea holding you back?. Movie fans, look into your soul, ask yourself, Do we really need a Bad Boys 3?... And yes I did check, Michael Bay is set to direct it. Again, a Jerry Bruckeimer and Michael Bay helmed Bad Boys 3…Think about it, do we really need this? 

Actual decent news from the movie world, a life-sized bronze statue of late movie critic Roger Ebert has been unveiled. It took place at annual film fest Roger started, Ebertfest. The statue features Ebert sitting between two empty theatre seats, where visitors can sit with him. 2 Thumbs Up to this…By the way, time flies, it was just over a year ago Roger Ebert died following his long battle with cancer, he was 70. 

The Easter weekend also marked International Record Store Day on the Saturday. Some cool stuff came out of this. First up, Jack White made history creating the World's Fastest Released Record. On Record Store Day, immediately after performing 2 songs* at his ‘Third Man Records’ in Nashville, Jack sent the master tapes to be pressed into vinyl. The record was up for sale just 4 hours later. Cool. 

And best yet following Record Store Day, vinyl is making a comeback. I’ve been telling you this for years, and the numbers are finally showing it in a significant way. 2 years ago 1-in-20 of us had bought a vinyl album in the past 12 months. As of this past year, the number is up to 1-in-10 of us…By the way, in addition to vinyl, cassettes are making a comeback too. Mark my words on this one. 

And some “Top” lists were announced this week. Here’s some highlights: 
Time Magazine set Robin Wright, from House of Cards, at the top of their '100 Most Influential People in the World' list. People Magazine has named 12 years a Slave star Lupita Nyong'o this year’s ‘World’s Most Beautiful Woman’. And GQ came out with it’s list of the 'Funniest People Alive', a Redhead topped the list. No, not me, it was Louis C.K. though. Hats off to Louis!

-Gilmore 


--Oh P.S. *-Jack performed a cover of Elvis Presley's Power of My Love, it was the B side. And, this tune Lazaretto. It’ll be the title track on his next album. Enjoy:

These Are The Things I Think About -- Apr 14th–Apr 20th

Easter Long weekend is up ahead, you’ve got some excellent plans with friends and family I hope. To send you into the weekend in style, here’s a look at what’s been going on this week: 

You, yes you, have a chance to land a starring role in a movie! Well OK, it’s a terrible movie, but still. Producers of ‘Sharkando 2: The Second One’ are trying to crowd fund money online to film an epic bonus scene; This bonus scene described as quote “Chainsaws and Sharks”…classy right?! And, sweetening the pot, they will guarantee you a role in the movie with a $5000 donation. The part I look forward to most. Your acting being better than the actual paid actors in the movie….Tara Ried, I’m looking at you. 

Over on TV, the final season of Mad Men started up this past Sunday. The show's creator has come out explaining it will be broken into 2 disinct halves. The first 6 episodes will focus on the characters trying to attain material things. Then a hiatus. When the show returns, the final episodes will show what the characters do once they have the material things they want. Oh and I’m guessing drinking. Tonnes and tonnes of excessive drinking…All season long. 

It was a scary week for AC/DC fans, rumours were swirling the band might retire. The stories were Malcolm Young suffered a stroke, and the band was set to spit up rather than continuing without him. Well, an official statement from the band has been released. The group confirmed Malcolm has been sick, adding though he is recouping, and AC/DC is not breaking up. Excellent. So it’s official, Let There Be Rock..for years and years to come. 

Exciting news if you're a fan of The Goonies, the movie is getting a sequel. This has been confirmed, and to get you more revved up, the director plans to bring back the original cast. 26 years on, you’ll remember Josh Brolin, Corey Feldman and Sean Astin were part of the original cast. And this has to be extra exciting for Corey Feldman, and his one fan. He could likely use the work….On a more serious note anything else he does has to be better than his singing career*. It’s as bad as the acting in Sharknado. 

And some Easter food for thought to leave you with. Apparently 76% of us eat the ears off a Chocolate Easter Bunny first. Pay attention this weekend and see if you do…Happy Easter you deranged, mutilating, psychopath. 

-Gilmore 


 --Oh P.S.  *-I'm a fan of stuff that is so bad its good…this, this on the other end, is so bad it’s terrible:

These Are The Things I Think About -- Apr 6th-13th

Huge Late Night TV news. Ladies & Gentlemen welcome Colbertterman (copyright Gilmore) It’s official Stephen Colbert will replace David Letterman to become host of the Late Show on CBS. Hey NBC, you taking notes?!, see, this is how you make a Late Night TV decision right the first time. 

 Rock & Roll Hall of fame inductions went Thursday night. Word is Courtney Love joined Dave Grohl & Krist Novoselic on stage when Nirvana was inducted. Didn’t see that one coming; she was sober and everything, wow! Then again you can’t believe everything you hear, it is Courtney Love after all. Either way, I'm betting Dave Grohl, after having to hug her, took a bath in hand sanitizer and burned his clothes when he got home*. 

The FXX network has purchased the rights to air reruns of The Simpsons. Not messing around, they will be re-running all of them…in a row. Yep, all 522 Simpsons episodes will be shown back-to-back-to-back at the end of August. Better start working on that butt groove on couch. As for how much FXX paid for the Simpsons rights, I hear it’ was a lot of D’oh… Boo! (sorry I couldn't resist)

Sad news from the Comics world. They are killing off Archie. Archie Comics says he will die saving a friend in the upcoming July issue of “Life with Archie”. Silly comic writers, you can’t kill a Ginger. Our one advantage of having no soul.

Attention fans of naked women, “Playboy” is reprinting its debut 1953 edition. All in celebration of the magazine’s 60th anniversary, the coming collectors edition will be an exact replica of the original; including Marilyn Monroe, and a Sherlock Holmes story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. '50s doctor recommended high tar cigarettes sold separately. 

It’s a big weekend ahead on TV. Stock up your liquor cabinet so you can play along, Mad Men returns Sunday for it’s final season. The MTV Movie Awards also go Sunday. Conan O’Brien is the host. Unless Jay Leno somehow sneaks his way in there. Good thing it’s MTV, and not the NBC movie awards...just sayin'

-Gilmore 


--Oh P.S. *-Yeah, Dave Grohl, post hug with Courtney Love, this is how I picture it:



 P.S.S.-- Trying something new out, behold "The Friday/Weekly Rundown" essentially a video version of my blog entries. It's perfect for you too lazy to read. Check it out:

These Are The Things I Think About -- Mar 31st-Apr 6th

First things first on behalf of the weather, April Fools!! That has to be the only explanation right?! Ridiculous… 

Of course April Fool's Day was Tuesday, lots of folks thought a prank got pulled on them early though. “How I Met Your Mother” aired it’s series finale Monday night. It got huge ratings, and, a pile of fans upset long the way. If you missed it. The Mother dies. Yep…Some fans are really unhappy with it, and an online petition is out demanding producers re-write and re-shoot the final episode. Yeah, like that’s going to happen, come on. Besides, turns out one fan has already redone the finale*. 

Saturday is the 20th anniversary of Kurt Cobain’s death, his body found 20 years ago this coming Tuesday if you are keeping score at home. Well just in time here’s your latest Nirvana news, Courtney Love is in the early stages of turning Kurt Cobain’s life story into a Broadway musical. Ok then. Says she’ll do the project if they can quote ‘get the right people involved’…I’d argue more importantly might be having her NOT involved, not sayin’, I’m just sayin’…Or you know, just don’t do it in the first place. 

The Duff Man is back! It’s an old school re-teaming for Guns N’ Roses. Following a tweet by Duff McKagan --on Tuesday, and people thought it was an April Fool's prank-- it is now confirmed, Duff will join Guns N Roses for it’s upcoming South American tour. He’s subbing in for Tommy Stinson who is on sebatical from GnR to play with the Replacements.

Some legitimate April Fools news. CBS did a cool prank. Drew Carey and Craig Ferguson switched jobs for the day. Craig hosted the Price is Right, Drew helmed the Late Late Show. 

Which brings us to sad news from Late Night TV. On Thursday, David Letterman announced he’s retiring from the Late Show in 2015. Now in his 32nd year behind the desk, Letterman is the longest serving late night talk show host in TV history. Dave you will be missed. Top 10 reasons Dave Letterman will be missed: #10-1 ‘cause Letterman’s awesome'. 

And touching back to the Price is Right, a strange but true story. Police and the bomb squad were called to "Come On Down" to Bob Barker’s house last weekend. A suspicious package arrived in the mail. Turns out it was medicine, all is good. 
With that saying good bye; And remember help control the pet population. Have your pet spayed or neutered.

--Oh P.S. *-Here's the fan made recut of the How I Met Your Mother finale:


The Story of Ted and Tracy (HIMYM Finale Recut) from HIMYMFinaleEdit on Vimeo.

These Are The Things I Think About -- March 17th-30th

Lots has happened since last time, St. Patrick’s Day came and went*. Of course we also had the annual 'Scottish St. Patrick’s Day' celebration to follow. Left over Green Beer, Cabbage and Corned Beef doesn’t come any cheaper then it does March 18th...party on Angus! 

Music news, Metallica & The Black Keys have come out with new tunes**. Also, Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders is working on a new album, featuring collaborations with Neil Young, and, John McEnroe…Wait what?!, John McEnroe, the former Tennis Player?, Yep. Apparently he plays guitar now. OK then.

Some excellent TV news, American Idol continues it’s flush down the toilet! In it’s, what, 400th season? (certainly seems this long!), the show is epically tanking in the ratings. Cross the fingers, this might finally, rightfully, get pulled off of TV. And, seriously barring Kelly Clarkson, and Carrie Underwood, in it’s endless run of seasons has this show produced good winners?...No 

More TV hits, Answer: This weekend, Question: When is the 50th Anniversary of Jeopardy?!. History nugget, Jeopardy started on daytime TV in 1964 before moving to evenings, Alex Trebek has been host now for 30 years. 

With April Fools Day coming up, here’s a cool one from CBS. Drew Carey & Craig Ferguson will switch jobs for the day. Craig will host the Price is Right, Drew helming the Late Late Show. Both should be worth a tune in. 

Baseball season is starting up, the Blue Jays home opener is next Friday; Wonder if they’ll be serving these: The ‘World’s Largest Hot Dog’ has been created at a county fair in Florida. It’s final weigh-in was 125.5 pounds. Forget the propane you’d need to BBQ a hot dog this size, instead wonder how much it would cost to buy one at an actual Jays game…Don’t worry, it’s cool if you want to use a calculator. 

Finally some food for thought. A big deal in the US, and relatively a “who gives a s&*t deal” in Canada, the annual NCAA Mens College Basketball tournament “March Madness” is on. Fact: Vasectomy rates go up huge across the US each year during March Madness. Guys need a day or two to rest their tender bits after the surgery, it’s full days of basketball to watch, hence the increase…Still, there’s just some weird Freudian thing going on there if you ask me. Guys get vasectomy surgery, then go home to watch balls getting slammed all day...just don’t seem right.

-Gilmore

--Oh P.S. *-Yeah missed posting for St. Patrick's Day, and thus didn't get out this timeless gem:   How do you know the Irish drink too much? Shillelagh, Leprechaun, and Siob(h)an are all correct spellings.  :-P     
Poached it from myself. For more terrible jokes from last year go HERE

These Are The Things I Think About -- March 10th-16th

Happy 2014!! Hey what can I say it’s been a while*. Back to blogging and aiming to get back to my regular posting. Let’s get at it, Here’s what’s happened the past week or so: 

Question: A sweaty, messy struggle with bankruptcy at the end. Answer: What was Arthur Chu’s final appearance on "Jeopardy!". Arthur’s run on the show came to an end on Thursday; and it was a controversial run, Arthur won 12 games in a row playing the odds in his question choices to take the other contestants out. Like it or hate it, he did good, taking home almost 300 thousand dollars. 

Awesome news Sharknado fans! A release date is confirmed. Sharknado 2: The Second One, will premiere July 31st. Mark that on the calendar and set the PVR to the SyFy channel…Will there be another epic chainsaw scene?!...let's hope so! 

Story is Mr. T has a secret son named Alexander Taylor, and, he is suing dear old dad for over 5 million bucks for abandoning him as a child. Mr. T has a son. Wonder if they ever call him Master T?…Also, if he thinks his father is a fool for abandoning him, does he pity him too? Yep, These Are The Things I Think About 

Rumour is a sex tape of former “Tonight Show” host Johnny Carson is being shopped around Hollywood. The tape made sometime in the 70s. Not sure who would want to own this movie, though I do hear Jay Leno is lobbying hard to star in a remake. 

More between the sheets entertainment news. Channel Zero based out of Toronto is getting in trouble with the CRTC for not airing enough Canadian content, which includes their 3 Adult channels. So expect to see a lot more Rick Mercer & Anne Murray in the porn you watch (there's a mental image you didn't expect to ever have, You're Welcome)…My suggestions for more “Canadian” porn programming is to take from existing staples. Example: 'Hockey Night in Canada', gets pornified in 'Horny Night in Canada', and 'This Hour has 22 Minutes', get the XXX version 'This Porno has 22 Midgets' -Gold! 

Some musical heads up for you. Word is Metallica is going to release a new song this weekend. Keep your eyes and ears peeled for that. And. The Headstones are making a new album! Fact: You can never go wrong with more Headstones. Once again they are going to fund it through Pledge Music, get involved HERE

Finally, St. Patrick’s Day is coming up on Monday. Throw something green in the wash this weekend. Rest up your liver. And don’t forget to add Shillelagh polish to your shopping list!
