Good morrow ladies and gents.
Special thoughts go to E-ve and her family today. And thanks also to those doing their jobs to the best of their abilities.
Spider-Man saved the day in Bangkok on Tuesday, for real. A Thai fire fighter dressed as Spidy to rescue as autistic student from a 3rd floor building ledge. The boy wouldn’t move for the regular fire squad so when the mother mentioned his love of super heroes the real life hero went back to the station to grab his costume. He says he keeps it to help liven up school fire drills. I think he should keep it. Thank you, Spider-Man.
And who says that figure skaters don’t have a little fight in them. Canadian men’s champ Patrick Chan has taken his shots at French champ and former World champion Brian Joubert just days before this year’s championships. Apparently Joubert was a little bit of a poor sport last year after he lost to, now retired, Canadian Jeffery Buttle. He said that Jeff was perfect, but didn’t try to land the tricky quad. He then went on to complain that the scoring system is broken because it doesn’t reward enough points for harder tricks. Chan though doesn’t like it. With both dudes being pretty young we could be in for a long rivalry. Chan is 18 and Joubert is 24 this could be a great rivalry, here’s hoping.
We’re excited to announce that we’ve been invited to write with the ladies and men at www.hotpinkgeek.com
The first post is started and we hope to have it up soon. Go check out the site, it’s on the left side with our other favourites.
The Junos go Sunday night. Anybody excited? Hello? Anybody? I think that it may be more fun to watch Russell Peters do stand-up for a couple of hours with musical performances mixed in. Forget the award show. I will say that I have always wanted to see the Juno Cup hockey game played. This year’s game will be played Friday night at the UBC Thunderbird arena in Vancouver. Tickets are on sale from Ticketmaster for $14.99.
Here’s something that has been bugging me for quite sometime and may end up needing its’ own blog. Tim Horton’s “Roll Up The Rim To Win” is killing the environment. Every day I drink coffee and I know a lot of other people that do the same. Some of us have travel mugs, some of us don’t. But what I do know is that every year during the contest all of us get paper cups that go in the garbage. Here’s hoping that Tim’s comes up with something like a scratch card of roll up card or something that they can use for people that have a mug.
Kudos to Alex Rodriguez for taking the high road and saying that he hopes the other 103 MLB players on the guilty of banned substance use list never are revealed. There is a huge chance to deflect bad publicity by having reporters go after their local team and players. But it looks like A-Rod is going to be a man about things and take it on his billion dollar chin.
And better late than never for Chris Bosh who says he will be a man and support his daughter financially. He says he loves his daughter and respects her mother. Good for you young man.
That’s all for today. Ciao.
