Wow, what a long weekend!
Is it wrong to feel so much joy while a dead bird is roasting in the oven? Love Thanksgiving because thanks to my lifelong failures in the kitchen, I have been regulated to watching sports on the couch and stuffing my face, with some clean up duty afterwards.
Seems like a sweet deal to me!
It was during this time of hardship I was watching the first game for the NEW Winnipeg Jets (please wear the retro jerseys once in awhile huh?). Great opening, emotional too with the Kenny Chesney ‘Who You’d Be Today’ accompanied video tribute to Rick Pypien who passed away this past summer.
The Jets are back, and to be honest they should have never left because some hardcore hockey fans live in Winter-peg! Sadly none were around during the second intermission while Hockey Night in Canada’s Ron MacLean was interviewing Jets legend Dale Hawerchuk on live television.
If they were, the loser behind Dale would have NEVER gotten away with putting two fingers behind Dale’s head. What, he thought this was funny?
It’s sad enough that folks think it’s funny to smile and wave at the camera for their friends to get a laugh while the rest of the country thinks they’re a moron, but this blatant disrespect to one of the greatest stars to ever lace up their skates was proof that sometimes cousins marry. You wouldn’t see somebody do that to Guy Lafleur in Montreal, or Darryl Sittler in Toronto would you?
Thankfully, my respect for Ron MacLean grew on this day as he politely stopped Dale mid-sentence to remind this ‘fan’ who Dale was and what he represented so show a little respect!
GREAT move from Ron and I hope that loser ended up sitting in a plate of nachos once the third period got underway.

A little commotion at my local grocery store this week!
At the very back of the store, a ruckus could be heard clearly from the front.
It turns out a very irate customer was being escorted out and made sure she wasn’t going to go quietly.
So what went down?
This idiot was not happy with something and figured raising her voice while berating and embarassing the young girl behind the counter was the way to go. There was nothing the girl could do to retaliate because she’s been told to never talk back to a customer.
So this ‘lady’ had free reign to bully her, that was until somebody had enough.
A customer in the same lineup proceeded to throw down the gauntlet and see how she would do with a partner who talked back.
Not too well I’m afraid!
The loudmouth was told to leave with every insult being matched tit for tat by the next person in line. Adding fuel to the fire was that by now, EVERYBODY in the store was watching and now laughing at her.
It boggles my mind how some people feel they can demean somebody like that. Got a problem? Explain your situation like a grown up!
Trust me, nobody in the working world is being told to not help a customer who’s polite!
Plus, you never know who’s in the lineup behind you!

Seriously? THIS is someone’s house?!?!
