Tax Time, St Patrick’s Day, Lions & Lambs, Springtime and more. Lots of yearly events hit up March, plus, we had the one offs of 2021. Let’s take a look at the month that was. And, some bad jokes to go with it.
First things first, a few notable birthday’s from the month. Justin Bieber turned 27, yeah he’s that old now, meaning your age must be…oh, wow. Martin Short is now 71, marking the transition from Short to Long in the Tooth. Dean Stockwell, best known to many as Al from Quantum Leap, is now 85. (Random show idea, take Quantum Leap, only Sam has to ruin a life before he jumps...Yes, this is how my brain works!) And, Eddy Grant hit 73. He still heads down to Electric Avenue, these days though it’s for the Blue Hair Specials.
A sad note this month, Walter Gretzky died at the age of 82, after suffering from Parkinson's disease and other health issues. Got me thinking, and I have no doubt, just like my Mike Myers theory, every Canadian was 4 degrees from Walter Gretzky.
Hasbro announced they're going to make Mr. Potato Head gender neutral, and dropping the Mr. from the name. Moving forward you’ll have to check under the peel to find out I suppose.
It was announced by the publisher a handful of Dr Seuss books will no longer be printed, sighting ‘racial undertones’. After this, the pile on has included demands Dr Seuss books be removed from libraries. The ‘Karen in the Hat’ strikes again.
St. Patrick’s Day came and went. All controversy aside, admit it, this was the year we needed to see the glorious St. Patrick’s Day suited Don Cherry on Coach’s Corner. May someone in your St. Pats Zoom call have been dressed as wild.
In Space news, word is construction on the World's first space hotel will begin in 2025. When finished, will have restaurants, cinemas and rooms for up to 400 guests. Two things: If you go to space and then go watch a movie, you’re an idiot. Also, if I go, I am registering as Mr. George Jetson.
Elsewhere, another SpaceX rocket took off, flew around the skies of Texas for a while then made a perfect landing. Then three minutes later, exploded. My solution, Elon Musk simply rebrands them Inspector Gadget Message Rockets!
This month in 1919 the first international air mail was delivered from Vancouver to Seattle, Washington. Wait, Van to Seattle?...not the huge international expanse you’d expect a flight being required for, is it.
With Easter on the way, Cadbury and Goose Island Brewery have teamed for a Cadbury Creme Egg beer. Why?! Biggest question here is, will it actually taste better coming back up then going down. Probably.
Annual reminder time, it was March of 1966 when John Lennon suggested the Beatles were more popular than Jesus. This creating mass protests, and destruction of Beatles records. Funny how everyone remembers this yet forgets when Jesus made the same mistake in 1983 suggesting he was more popular than the last episode of MASH.
Finally, Not wanted, yet, I gotta put them somewhere. Here’s some bad COVID jokes:
Going to China any time soon? They've now made the anal swab COVID test mandatory for all foreigners. Pick your favourite:
…I used to pay extra for something like that
…What’s worse, getting the anal swab, or giving the anal swab?
…‘I’m surrounded by nothing but buttholes at work’, accurate if you’ve got this job
…And we think taking our shoes off at the airport is a pain
