George Carlin - May 12, 1937 - June 22, 2008

George Carlin was my favourite comedian. He's the reason I almost NEVER say "Have a 'nice' day". Here are a few of my favorite bits

Have a Nice Day

Seven Words You Can't say on TV/Radio

Soft Language (sound on this one's bad)

I have many other favourites, but I couldn't find them online.

Bandit and Jon get haircuts... but not me.

I finally brought Bandit in for a grooming. She was getting really shaggy. While she was getting grommed, I convinced Jon that it was time to get a haircut too.

Pics are on my Facebook site here. Don't they look cute now?

TTFN,

I can't believe I got it wrong AGAIN!!!!

I do it every year... I remember Kristen's birthday, just never on the right date.....

I got her a cool present at Art in the Park... so that should compensate (I hope).

Speaking of Art in the Park, there seemed to be a lot less pottery and more jewelry and food stuff this year. Of COURSE it was sweltering hot, but at least it didn't rain during one of the days like it usually does. I ordered some earrings to match the gold celtic-inspired ring form the same guy I got the ring from. They will have 5mm peridots on them. Jon had a good time, although he was not optimistic about that. He was calling it "Fart in the Park".

TTFN,

NO MORE HOCKEY NIGHT IN CANADA THEME!!!

As of the last game of the 2008 Stanley Cup Final, the CBC ended its current license agreement with the 'owners' of the Hockey Night in Canada theme, with no plans to renew it, due to cost issues. I was dumbfounded!!! So, I whipped this email off to the CBC (via their comments form) today.

Today I read with some outrage, that the CBC was not renewing its agreement with the 'owner' of the Hockey Night in Canada theme.

I am sure that the CBC is, or will be, sifting through thousands of letters/emails expressing the same outrage and shock as my own. That theme is as Canadian as hockey itself! Ask a Canadian what would instantly reminds them of Canada, and I can almost guarantee that the Hockey Night in Canada theme is in their top five. Most Canadian can identify it in five notes or less.

The CBC is supposed to be a guardian of those things which make us uniquely Canadian. Don't let yet another piece of our cultural heritage fall by the wayside in the interests in profit margins.

I'm sure the CBC will ignore it...


TTFN,
