OOPS !

So the TSA and Britney Spears caused a bit of a stir the other day when she went through the screening point with a 32 ounce BIG GULP cup in her hand.
Not only was she allowed to continue on with the cup but also the TSA Officer was also filmed BYPASSING her carry on. It never went through the XRAY !
Here is the video link: www.tmz.com/2009/11/03/britney-spears-tsa-security-drink-soda-video/

Click on the PLAY button and you will see the entire screening process.

A TSA official said there was nothing wrong as ICE is NOT A LIQUID ( huh? It isn't?..umm hate to tell you but ice is a LIQUID in a solid state ).

That comment was later retracted.

The same TSA stated Britney had also surrendered a bottle of perfume after the X Ray operator noticed it on the screen. ( how can that be when it is clear that the screener bypasses her carry on and walks away ).

It's Britney, Bitch !

Someone will take a fall for this one because she has no right to any exemption. PERIOD !

As much as I can't stand the paparazzi guys ( I think they are intrusive and annoying ), they deserve kudos for this one.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So a mid management in the Provincial Health Board was fired after allowing the entire Calgary Flames organization and family bypass the lines to get the H1N1 vaccine.
GOOD !
As much as hockey players travel, there is no way that they deserve any special treatment.
Police, Ambulance, Fire .. those guys deserve it first ! Not hockey players.
Amazingly enough, a news reporter actually tried to "justify " the whole thing by saying they have raised millions of dollars for hospitals and such.
So? The Oilers and Eskimoes also do the same amount of charity but they were all told if they want to get the vaccine.. they wait in line like everyone else.

And that's the way it should be !

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am so stoked for this. I am going to be working the GREY CUP game this November 29 in Calgary.
Not only that.. BLUE RODEO is the Half time show.

I have gone to one GREY CUP game a long time ago and it was a great time..although we had the wind in our face and it was minus 15 or so..

Hopefully it won't be that cold..

I love watching the game but now being involved this year is going to be more exciting.

What a night...

What a night last night at the SONIC FM Halloween bash . Talk about a lot of people, a lot of alcohol and what do you get? FIGHTS !

My first fight was with 2 guys who were arguing on how to get home. Before the first punch was thrown, my partner and I got a hold of both of them and seperated them. Then once they cooled down, out the door.. they can argue it outside.

My next fight was a few moments later when 4 teletubbies. yes.. teletubbies got into a scrap. Nothing funnier than seeing 4 drunk guys in teletubby costumes start fighting. It looked hillarious.

The Police were all ready on scene, so they came quick to restrain some of them. Two in handcuffs and led off.

The next guy was dressed in a prisoner's outfit. He got into a fight with someone and was led out in cuffs. Talk about irony at it's finest.

Now the best fight that lasted a whopping 1 second goes to the girl who highkicked a guy right in the face after he grabbed her breasts. He went down like a ton of bricks. Just as he hit the ground, my partner and I were already grabbing her ( no where near the breast area..we did not want to be kicked ), and another fellow who grabbed her but turned away. She and her boyfriend told me about him so I ran after him...and out the door you go !

Now that was all I had seen but there were other fights that night that were nowhere close to what I had seen.

It was a busy night for everyone.


No one got seriously injured and that is a good thing although I do think some of these guys are really feeling the after effects !

It was a lot of fun though. And on a lighter note .. a big thank you go to the female "Vampires" who made my night. One groped my butt, the other kissed me on the cheek ( the one on my face ).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now brace yourself for this one... GLOBAL COOLING !

SHUT UP ! IT"S WINTER.. OF COURSE IT'S COOLING !

What morons. In the Spring the "global experts" come out and blurt out the obvious .. "the earth is warming..here's what you do..." blah blah blah.
And now some "expert" has come out to say "Wait a minute... we're cooling down!".

It's Autumn.. of course it is cooling down.

When will these people shut up once and for all. Follow Rosie O'Donnell .. she has finally shut up, please do the same!

Global Warming, Global Cooling, Climate Change. Sounds like a disaster eh? It isn't. Just the way the world turns !

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So did you forget to set your clocks back an hour? Waste of time isn't ?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Not too much happening this month as far as shows are. There are only 4 shows this month and I wont be able to do any of them.. conflicting a bit with my schedule.

HALLOWEEN AND DAYLIGHT SAVINGS

Happy Halloween everyone. Not only is it halloween ( funny how no one seems to mind this tradition at all when they bitch about all the other ones.. could it be because this is not a religious based event?), but it also the 80th Anniversary of the death of Harry Houdini.

If you don't know who Harry Houdini was.. where ya been man? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Houdini .


It is also the time of year where we adjust all our clocks one hour behind.

Can we for once and for all get rid of this ? It was designed to help the farmers during harvest so they had one more hour of daylight ( they actually believed they get an extra hour by adjusting the clock ).

This map shows the world using DST. The blue is countries who use DST, the orange is countries that had DST but no longer use, and red is DST never used:




I personally think it is useless in adjusting clocks. There really is no time difference and even the farmers of Saskatchewan do not use DST. Hmm. The system was designed for farmers and yet they don't use it ! Not in the wheat fields anyway.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


So I am on days off.. well sort of. I work again at some halloween parties this weekend.
I love my part time job. It's fun and pays ok. There is something about live shows that I just love.
It almost makes me wish I had gone into that than doing what I do.
The idea of working behind the scenes and seeing everything that goes on to put on a show is a unique perspective.

Now I am not saying I want to work for U2. That would be an extreme level.. but something smaller would be a good start.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well I think I am going to try to see what I need to do to migrate to the U.S. I do not plan on sticking around too much longer in Edmonton.

I am thinking of somewhere warmer .. somewhere desert like..hmmm let's see... California ? No. Colorado ( the southern point )? No... NEVADA? YES ! Reno? No. Las Vegas? YESSSSSS !

Maybe what I should do is try to flirt with one of those showgirls from a show and convince her to marry a crazy white Canadian. Think that would work? No? Me either.

But the plan is eventually to settle down there. I can handle up to zero degrees in the winter months.. ohhh brr !

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Speaking of Las Vegas. One of the biggest complexes is about to open. A staff of 12,000.. yes. 12,000. have been hired and are all set to open CITY CENTER COMPLEX:




This is one huge complex.When I was there ( about the time this photo was taken ), it was un-real seeing all these cranes.

Here is what it looks like now ( well ..at least in September  2009):



This was a $7.5 BILLION dollar project.

Some of these are hotel rooms as well as private residential condos.. hate to see what the condo fees are for this place !


Anyway that's all I have today. Have a great week end.. and of course

 H A P P Y    H A L L O W E E N !

U2 and more

Ok. Now it's official. U2 will be in Edmonton on June 23, 2010. Tickets on sale this Monday (Nov 2 )at 10am.

The show was really good too from Pasadena. I watched it live.. and no I could not see my sister but she was there.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


What is wrong with airline pilots this week.
On Monday, a Delta Boeing 767 with 182 passengers landed on a taxiway instead of its assigned runway at Atlanta's Hartsfield airport. A taxi way instead of a runway?? Pilots can't tell the damn difference between a narrower taxi way and a runway? Are you kidding me.
Then there were ( key word..were. They were decertified by the F.A.A this week ) the 2 pilots on NorthWest Airlines flight 188 from San Diego to Minneapolis who "got distracted " and overshot the runway.. make that the airport and city by...over 150 miles !!
The pilots claim they were distracted by a laptop computer with the new schedule . ( It is against the F.A.A policy to have a laptop operating while in flight ). It was only when a flight attendant knocked on the cockpit door that the pilots realized they overflew the city.
Huh? You mean they had no idea they were that far off track? Good pilots !






Now for the amazing part. Air Traffic Controllers lost all radio contact for over an hour and the military were only told about it just under an hour after communications were lost.

Haven't they learned a damn thing about airliners losing radio contact? Although there was no warning from the plane, it is irrelevant. The pilots could have been dead and everything appear normal on radar.

They did not hear the calls, they did not see their instruments telling them they were over Minneapolis. They did not see any of the flickering city lights below.

They totally ignored ALL instruments and lost track of time.

They have been let go by the airline as well as De-Certified by the FAA.


The fact is the military SHOULD have been notified immediately and a fighter jet SHOULD have been sent out to investigate .

The fact is this did not happen. The military were told about it but were also told to "stand by".

They never scrambled a jet the entire time.

The pilots finally respond and land... over an hour late.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

OK. I am getting rightfully tired of these emails claiming BILL GATES will give me money for every email I send out. When will people realize ... THIS IS BULLSHIT !!!

The story is old.. will someone please please stop them.

STOP SENDING ME THIS CRAP !!! IT'S A HOAX !!


DELETE IT !!!

DO NOT FORWARD TO ME OR ANYONE !!

DELETE IT !!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I really like The Jay Leno Show on NBC at 11pm.. kind of different format than when he was with The Tonight Show but I am glad he is doing well in the ratings.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Will someone leave Jon and Kate alone! I am sick of hearing this loser on the news. He is NOT A CELEBRITY ! He is a loser.. like all these other reality people.. except Dog the Bounty Hunter. I won't call him a loser because he is a bulldog...and so is his wife Beth.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Octomom is going to have her own reality show.. so much for claiming you would never exploit your kids for money huh?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Where did Rosie O'Donnell go? I miss that fat loud mouth psycho ! Maybe she has finally realized no one gives a S%^t what she thinks or says.

U2 Live on YOUTUBE

As I start writing this, it's 10 minutes until the band U2 hit the stage in Pasadena California at the ROSE BOWL.
An expected 93000 plus , people will pack into the stadium and another couple of million will log onto YOUTUBE to watch the BIGGEST CONCERT of all time.
The feed was initially going to be available only in Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, South Korea, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States, but this was later changed so that the stream would be available worldwide
.
No other Rock band has EVER done something like this before.. U2 is setting a record that is sure to be entered in the GUINESS book of records.
The show will also be released later next year as a DVD.

The show started with the BLACK EYE PEAS and special guest SLASH as the opening act.

U2 hits the stage at 9 pm L.A time, 10 pm Edmonton time, 1pm Tokyo time, 5am Paris time.

This is a world wide global event not to be missed and if you did , you were either at work or not a U2 fan.

My sister and brother in law are at the Bowl for the show and it should be an amazing atmosphere to be in.


As for the stage.. this is what I found on Google image search.. the stage is huge :




Here are the logistics :
The stage actually weighs in at an incredible 250 tons and rises to over 150 feet in height.
It takes about three to four  days for hundreds of laborers and steel workers to erect this lighting and sound structure that will go over the stage – six cranes and 25 forklifts running all the time. Since there is a relatively short time between shows, U2 is using 3 stages that "leapfrog" across to the next stops. While one is used for the show, the second one is being built and the third is being dismantled at the previous location.

It takes 2 days to dismantle the entire stage and it gets loaded into over 120 trucks ( such great ambassadors about the environment and they use 120 trucks for one stage.. and they have 3 sets of their stage..so 360 trucks )
At each stadium, there are 7 lighting platforms to light up the fabric screens wrapping around the stage.

The stage is now the biggest stage ever used by a rock band..beating out the Rolling Stones stage for their BIGGER BANG tour.. their stage actually fits under this one.

U2 plays Edmonton Commonwealth Stadium on June 23, 2010... although there is no official announcement. Tickets are going to be average
$250, $90-$95 (depending on the market), $55, and $30.

Total cost of the stage was $170 million.

The operating budget is something like $750,000 a day or $32,000 an hour.. that is incredible.

Well as I finish writing this, U2 is still performing.. right now they are singing SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY !

If they do come here, I am sure to attend it.. or work it. Looks like it's a great show.

On a final note:

Happy Birthday Cora ( my sister ) . I hope your day was everything you wanted ( U2 on your birthday is a great present ).

balloon boy hoax. and a busy 3 days

Well this is not surprising whatsoever. Balloon boy's mom confessed the whole thing was a hoax.
Mayumi Heene said she and her husband knew all along that their son Falcon, 6, was not on board the balloon and that the motive for the hoax was to make their family "more marketable for future media interest."
Her husband, Loser.. I mean Richard could also face charges however under the State law, what she swore in the affidavit can not be used against him.
Apparently it took only 2 weeks to build the "UFO" and plan it out. They even instructed their kids to lie to authorities.

This is a family of liars, publicity seeking idiots. The interviews were all scripted..well until the kid blurted out the now famous line..." We did it for the show".

Each adult could now face 4 felony counts as well as huge fines of up to $500,000 . That does not include restitution for the rescue costs.

Even if the family were to file bankruptcy, the restitution is not cleared.. it will haunt them until it's paid.

What a bunch of losers.. and they knew all along that their kid was not hiding, they sat and watched it all on TV smiling away and thinking this was great !

Not so great now , is it RICHARD ?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


You thought Toronto ( Ontario ) had strange laws or rulings.. try Quebec.
Under their Provincial law it is illegal to answer the phone if you operate a business.( even if it is your own home business ).
And they have "language cops" who call around and enforce that law.
It is also illegal to have any english signage in your store that is prodominate. The english wording can not exceed 10% of the size of the sign.

Also
Under Quebec's controversial language legislation, Bill 101, parents must prove that they, or at least one of their children, have a link to English schooling in Canada before any of their children can attend English language school.
Simply put, if you migrate to Quebec from another country , your kids MUST go to a french school.

A lot of immigrants move to Quebec and shuffle the kids off to Ontario to get some english schooling and then return to Quebec. Then and ONLY then can they go to an english school.

The structure to protect the "French culture" has been killing Quebec moreso than they possibly imagined. Not only did it slow down migration but tourism took a nose dive after the '76 Olympics.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The MOBY concert last night was really good. The crowd of 1400 thoroughly enjoyed the show as well. No security concerns whatsoever.
While I was at the stage left area, the crowd was good..until one person started to take photos with the flash on and started blinding me. When I told her to turn the flash off , she nearly tore my head off.. until I explained the picture will turn out better than with the flash.
One , she'll get better pictures, and two, the flash won't blind me or the band.

I love this part time job.. I hope more shows come up soon too..

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am off to a retirement party ( not mine ) in a few minutes. One of my colleagues is retiring after 16 years here and he will be missed. He is a great man that I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with.
We had some great moments as well.
One of my fondest moments was when we were talking about LETHAL WEAPON 4. There is a moment in the movie where Mel Gibson's character, Martin Riggs, is talking to "Uncle Benny" a ruthless Chinese "businessman".
When asked how the "flied lice" is, Uncle Benny responds that it's FRIED RICE, not flied lice, you plick !( prick ).

Anyway we were talking about that one particular scene and my colleague asked me ( straight faced ) what a plick was. I explained plick is prick... in chinese accent.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once that is all done, I am off to my buddy's birthday party later this afternoon.

These 3 days off have been just busy...busy ..busy. I have had very little time to myself, which is ok but it would have been great to spend some time at home and catch up in cleaning up and laundry ( need a girlfriend ..joke Ha Ha ). Ok.. that was not as funny as it was in my head.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Enjoy the week end. Talk soon

here we go again...

Ok. So my thoughts of the balloon boy in Denver was right. A hoax.. a scam.. a publicity stunt.
This guy ( the father ) is dying for attention and he got it. The story reached world coverage ( as he hoped ) and he is in a lot of trouble for pulling a stunt like that .
Not only criminal charges but now the F.A.A are looking at charging him as well for the costs of the "rescue".
At least his kid was honest in the interview :
" We did it for the show!".
Got to love a kid who knows the truth... on national TV to boot.

I mean let's look at it. The balloon could not hold a child in that compartment , as the father claimed. Aluminum foil and duct tape with a flimsy structure... the kid would have fallen out right away.

He loved the coverage he was getting and is now paying for it.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now this is hillarious:

A guy in Cheyenne Wyoming was arrested the other day for possession of counterfeit currency.
Seems the fella hired a stripper for a private function and rode with her in a cab.
When it was time to pay, the guy gave the cab driver a wad of $50.
The cab driver and the stripper noticed the bills looked odd and were not evenly cut ( clue number 1 ).
Police and Secret Service ( they investigate counterfeit currency crimes ) charged the man.
The guy claimed he printed them off his home printer but was really going to pay with real cash ( sure ya were ! ).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

On another note: Do I really look like a SKYSHUTTLE driver? Two nights in a row now I have been asked what time I plan on leaving, as passengers point to a shuttle bus.
I AM NOT A SHUTTLE DRIVER..NOR DO I LOOK LIKE ONE ! My uniform should really spell it out.

Maybe I should stop going outside at that particular spot.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't know what this guy feeds his 9 week old puppy but last night I was ready to vomit.
This guy has a 9 week old beagle. Really cute little thing. The puppy "dumped" his load all over the blanket in his kennel and the guy was cleaning it up.
He looked like he needed help so I offered to watch his dog while he cleaned up ( I am gagging even as I write this ).
The puppy was playing around all around me on the floor, when the signs started popping up.. where is a good spot. OHHH SHIT !! YUP ! A sudden squat and FIRE IN THE HOLE ! Incredible. And disgusting too.

I have no idea what he feeds the puppy but it can not be good whatever it was.

poor thing.. and then there's me running outside to get fresh air so I don't puke one out.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The Toronto School Board is at it again. First they segregated the black students and formed a school called
l "Africentric Alternate School" and now they want to form another school for boys only.

This is getting ridiculous. First the blacks have their own school, now the ONLY BOYS have their own. What's next are the gays ( can't wait to hear the title for that one ), the Muslims will want their own as well.. and it goes on and on.

Here we are a country that is supposed to be diverse. We have an abundance of multi cultural citizens and are told to be anti racial, anti discriminate , anti this and that.
And here is the Toronto School Board wanting to seperate everybody.

Talk about segregation and the sorts and yet no one is out protesting that this is a form of RACIAL / GENDER discrimination.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pisses me off to think history taught society that seperating boy and girls in schools, as well as blacks and whites was nothing more than unconstitutional and yet here we are creating schools for this group or that group. Makes me sick to think that Rosa Parks and all the other folks fought like hell to be allowed in ANY school they want.
Here are a group of people fighting the State and U.S government to be allowed to attend a school of their choice.
The Supreme Court heard the case and ruled it was unconstitutional to not allow "colored people" the same rights to an education as any other American.
At one point in our racial history, blacks were only allowed to ride in the back of a public bus ( Rosa Parks story ), blacks were not allowed in restaurants.

THE GOVERNMENT OVER RULED ALL OF THIS.

And here we are in Canada.. well Toronto anyway. and they are segregating every one.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

That;s all I have today.. more tomorrow.

Balloon boy . Was it staged?

Yesterday's big media hype was the incident in Denver Colorado where a home made hot air balloon took off from a family home and a 6 yrs old boy "may be " on board.
As the balloon sailed across the counties, many cops, ambulances, paramedics and fire trucks chased the thing.
Clearly in the video you can see there was no basket attached to the thing.. the balloon appeared to be like a UFO shape and had no visual reference .. no window or door.
So how can someone be onboard this thing if there is no door or window.. clearly it was just a balloon.
But they chased it.. for 2 solid hours. Finally reaching the ground, they released the helium inside and looked around for any opening.

No one there.

So where did this 6 yr old boy who was supposed to be inside, go?
No one knew. Until shortly after it was reported the boy was found... safe and sound at home. He hid from his father after he got yelled at in the garage attic.

No one bothered to look for him in the house? They all though he was in the balloon , even though there was no basket attached to it?
Could the father not see that on TV and call and say ..hey wait a minute.. there is no basket on the balloon.. its empty!

No. Instead he watched the whole thing unfold on TV and said nothing.

National Guard were called in to assist. Denver International Airport was closed for the duration causing flight delays.

Emergency crews drove around chasing an empty balloon.

Later on, the kid says on LIVE TV that they did it for a show. What show?

Apparently daddy likes to be on TV as a storm chaser and also appeared on WIFE SWAP ( stupid show anyway ).

So was this all a big stunt to get attention.

I think so.

Think about it for just a minute. You build a balloon and it floats off the ground. You watch on TV and say nothing.
Why would you not say anything? Because... it's great TV !

For two hours , media covered the event live. Not a single person called in to say.. where is the basket? How can this kid see outside?

Not a single person. Now personally, I know nothing of building these things. But what I did realize when watching it that there was no window.. no door.

So how come I ( and probably others ) could see that but no one else did.

This was nothing but a publicity stunt. The kid himself even said.. " We did it for the show" and now the dad is back peddling like crazy saying that it's ludicrous to think that.

Really? Then how come you never called the authorities and told them they were chasing an empty balloon? How come you did not search your house thoroughly when you realized your son was missing? You ASSUMED he was on board..

Again.. daddy loves publicity. He thinks its great to be on TV and getting attention. I think this was one of those cases where he set it up and went with it.

Talk about wasting tax payers money ! It literally costs tens of thousands of dollars to have all these people chasing / finding a "lost" kid. Wasting many hours when they could have been doing something else that was more urgent.

I don't care. But one look at this balloon and you can see no basket:









NO BASKET .

Was it all a hoax? A ploy to gain attention.

I think so.

ohh good...more idiots

Have I told you how much I love idiots? I do. They entertain me to no end.
Case #1: An Air Canada flight was diverted to Kelowna Airport after a male passenger stole beer from the beverage cart. Seems like this fellow helped himself as the cart went by and when confronted by the flight attendant, the male denied doing anything. The pilot landed and had the Mounties meet the plane and remove him. IDIOT ! A $6 beer will now cost you a lot more.. and a criminal record ! LOSER !

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Last night I worked at the JET concert at the Edmonton Event Center. After the show, this girl and her boyfriend come up and shows me a "CREW PASS" card. She wanted to go backstage, which was denied because I knew she was not crew. She got the pass from a guy who was working the show, apparently telling her " Come backstage later".. which is not true because only a few can actually go backstage.
Now here comes the idiot: Her boyfriend starts telling me that I am just a contracted worker and I know nothing and it's up to the band... I explained ( again ) that crew passes do not entitle ANYONE to go backstage and even IF they were, only ONE person could go... not two.

As he babbled on and on, my supervisor arrived and told them the same thing.
Still don't get it ! ( no surprise ) Why start berating someone when things do not go their way.? Does that really make them feel better ? Do they think we will change our policies and say " OH.. I am sorry.. ok go ahead!"? The stupid thing is.. there is a reason why there is SECURITY to begin with.

Besides... I knew instantly she was not crew. Not many "CREW " staff have souvenirs in their hands and have that look in their eyes.

( by the way... a huge KUDOS goes to my neighbor. When I got home last night after the show, I found a container of her famous Turkey soup by my door. She makes this awesome soup and every year, she gives me a container of it .. really good too ).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IDIOT #2 : As sad as it is that someone died, but how many people have to realize that when they ride an ATV , a HELMUT is a GREAT IDEA !
Macho man died yesterday when his ATV flipped as he tried to climb a hill too steep. The ATV flipped over , throwing the driver off . He hit his head on a rock and died on scene.

IDIOT !

Guess it just is not cool to wear a helmut... but does save your life. Had he worn a helmut, he would be alive to tell about it.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Now the biggest idiot there ever has to be was a contestant on HELL'S KITCHEN Season 6.
Bear in mind the prize for this is Executive Chef at AROXI restaurant in Whistler BC ( average pay about $250 thousand ).
Here was a golden opportunity to not only shine in cooking skills but also personality.
This guy had none. He blew off the prize off the bat from the beginning.
In episode one he brought up his signature dish. When Chef Ramsay pointed out the Brussel sprouts were rock hard, he offered one to taste.. the guy asks for a fork ( he thinks using fingers is being " an animal, and I aint no animal " ).
When it came to elimination, Chef Ramsay asks the guy to name two people and why:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COhkEpZmTUI   ( part 1 )
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQ5tWNtptLo&feature=related  ( part 2 ).

Talk about IDIOT ! How can someone do/ say/ act that way and think they still have a chance to win.

I would not hire this guy for nothing.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Like I said.. I got to love these idiots.. that way life is more entertaining.

UGH!

If you have GOOGLE EARTH installed on your computer, I am sure you have seen those little red "360" circles. When you click on it, it brings you down to street level and then opens a window to show you a 360 degree view of that particular area.
GOOGLE EARTH has just released some Canadian city shots and now some "experts" ( here we go again ) are concerned that thieves may use it to examine closely someone's house. These experts are basically blaming GOOGLE Earth of providing " invasive home intrusion ".

What are these "experts " talking about?  What do they think B&E thieves do before this? They scoped out the areas by walking by, driving by and other means.

There is no way ANYONE can use GOOGLE EARTH to explore residential areas to target homes. They still need to physically go there. They target their crimes based on what they see in person. Besides just because a house looks good to rob, no one knows if they have a dog or an alarm system.

I love how these "experts" claim things they have no clue about. Remember last year when gasoline was over a dollar a liter and these "experts" claimed "We will never see gas lower than a dollar a liter". What is it now? 85 cents or something. Isn't that less than a dollar. Experts? SHUT UP !

Now I particularly like GOOGLE EARTH because if there is a destination you would love to visit, it gives you an idea of what it looks like. If you like what you see, you book it.

HELL'S KITCHEN Season 6 wrapped up last night with a 2 hour finale . The winner , David Levey , will be the executive chef at AROXI restaurant in Whistler ,B.C for a year. His next challenge is to face the bustle of the Winter Games that will be there starting Feb 12, 2010.
I had a notion this guy was going to win it based on his determination. He broke his wrist at the start of the competition and prevailed through tough challenges. During one dinner service, he even out did his male counterparts. .. with one arm in a cast ! Pretty impressive.

I love watching the show. The amount of abuse they take from Chef Ramsay is extraordinary. He yells at them constantly, he insults them ( my favorite line " Come on you stupid fat cow... move your ass, yeah?" ).

Now personally, I am not a bad cook but I would not want him around . I don't think I would be able to take it from him.

I am off to my other job in a few hours. Tonight a band by the name of JET is performing at the EEC . I will be there doing security for the show . I think I have 2 more events to do this month. I really like the job. Wish it was more full time than part time but oh well.. little extra cash never hurt.

An Ontario ( but of course ) truck driver was fined recently $305 for... smoking in his own rig. The truck driver was pulled over and given a ticket when he spotted smoking in his rig. Under the Provincial Law it is illegal to smoke in any "enclosed work area". This includes ..trucks ! However most provincial laws against smoking in public places also state there must be another person present.
So.. this truck driver ,who owns his own rig, works alone. He has no one in his employ.
Fair? No. I don't think so. If he had someone else with him, no problem. I can see that. But the guy was alone. Under Ontario law, it states : "
the inside of any place, building, structure or vehicle that is part of the employee's workplace". This includes trucks..
RIDICULOUS ! Who is he endangering? No one but himself.

Mind you.. most laws state that even if it is a home business and you have at least one employee, no smoking rule applies.

I hate these stupid laws. Street hockey is another one of those dumb laws that prohibits kids from playing it. Why? What is the crime here?  I don't get it. What is the social impact on playing street hockey?

Did you know it was illegal to fart in a public elevator in Ft Worth Texas? It's true. One fart could cost you $200.

Dragging a dead horse down YONGE Str. in Toronto will also net you a ticket.

Think those are hillarious... the following are transcripts of some 911 calls... must be related to the fine folks who made up these goofy laws:

Dispatcher: 9-1-1 What's the nature of your emergency?

Caller: My wife is pregnant and her contractions are only two minutes apart

Dispatcher: Is this her first child?

Caller: No, you idiot! This is her husband!


A woman in Aloha, Oregon, called 911 because she thought a deputy who had just visited her house on a complaint was good-looking. After her neighbors reported a noise complaint, two sheriff's deputies knocked on Lorna Jeanne Dudash's door. One of them caught her eye. When they left, Dudash dialed 9-1-1 in a desperate attempt to get the deputy she described to dispatchers as “a cutie pie” to return.

She said that she didn't have an emergency; she just wanted the dispatcher to “throw the cute police back her way”. The “cute” deputy returned, and, once he determined there was no legitimate emergency, he arrested Dudash for misusing 9-1-1. She now faces a fine of up to several thousand dollars and up to a year in jail.


Angered that her local McDonald's was out of Chicken McNuggets, a Florida woman called 911 three times to report the fast food "emergency." Latreasa Goodman, 27, called police to complain that a cashier would not give her a refund. When cops responded to the restaurant, Goodman told them, "This is an emergency. If I had known they didn't have McNuggets, I wouldn't have given my money, and now she wants to give me a McDouble, but I don't want one." She was arrested and the Police pressed charges for misusing the 911 system.


Just shows ya , folks.... you're not so dumb after all.


Have a great day!
