McMurray Musings called it “controlled chaos”. That would suggest that there was a little bit of control.
I called it “classy chaos”. The Sawridge Inn of Fort McMurray was filled with beautifully dressed people going wild to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society, and over $270 000 was raised from the funny-money earning celebrity waiters. They’re still counting, they’re still putting the auction funds and corporate money together, and it looks like 7 figures will be hit!
$7000 of the grand total was raised in the most touching of ways. Meet Fiona Deeney-Paradis who provided the highlight of the night, by offering up her elegantly colored hair for shaving if we could raise 7 grand. And Fort McMurray being Fort McMurray, 15 minutes went by before the money was in hand and Fiona was ready to be shaved. Unbelievable.
Fiona was more than deserving to be named “head waiter” for next year’s festivities, and her grace, poise, and bravery were rivalled only by the sleek and beautiful shape of her head that was revealed. Not many women can rock the bald look, but Fiona not only looks gorgeous, she’s beaming because of it.

MORNING SHOW BONUS CODE: DREAMHOME

And the winner is….Landau Eugene Murphy, Jr.!
Against two dance teams and a band, Landau was the only solo act, and now he gets to keep all the prize money to himself. But does anyone feel that the Silhouettes were a magical act that deserved more?
Even if you are happy with the outcome (or worse yet, you were rooting for one of the two lesser acts), you have to admit the performance with Leann Rimes on last night’s finale was pretty cool.
Hell, even if you hate the show and never watched, you HAVE to see the performance of Leann’s new single along with the creative and awe-inspiring shadowy dancers in the background.
And if anything, watch the video below, and see if you think Leann has had work done…facially or slightly lower. That’s the philosophy behind today’s morning show bonus code at the bottom!

MORNING SHOW BONUS CODE: BIGGERTHANUSUAL

Has everyone got a chance to check out the new opening theme to “Two and a Half Men” featuring Ashton Kutcher and his creepily smug grin lip synching to the “men, men, men, men, men” showtune? It’s on the Country 93.3 facebook page, and it’s just as indifference inducing as you might think.
So, what’s Charlie Sheen’s response? He was too busy “winning” to comment, but the battle lines will be drawn on September 19th as on the same night as “Two and a Half Men”s premiere, Comedy Central unleashes upon us, the Roast of Charlie Sheen. What would you rather see, Mr. Demi Moore try to revive a show from crashing & burning, or a bunch of sharp-witted comedians aiding in the crashing & burning of an addict?
Check out the funny preview for the Roast below, plus a small taste of the action from Seth McFarlane
One word in the first video is NSFW

MORNING SHOW BONUS CODE: WAYOFF

A Fort McMurrayite tweeted this image from a Wood Buffalo dog park yesterday and got more than a few laughs for it. I’ve never seen this sign (I don’t have a dog, maybe that explains it), but I thought sharing a few more funny signs might make your Monday a little more tolerable. Especially when the third picture below could TOTALLY be one found in Fort McMurray these days.

MORNING SHOW BONUS CODE: BUSYBUSYBUSY

I’m not big on the flag-waving, red-white-and-blue, “look at us” attitude that a lot of Americans have nor some of the right-wing country songs that proclaim the US to be the best, supreme, and more kick-ass than any other country…Toby Keith I’m looking at you.
But, 10 years after 9/11, we are all pausing to at least remember, reflect, and honour those that died and where we were when the world stopped turning. 9/11 certainly changed everything.
On today’s show we’ll be sharing stories of where you were when you heard the news, and who the first person you called was. Feel free to tell your story in the comments section below.

MORNING SHOW BONUS CODE: WHEREWEREYOU?

Rolling Stone magazine is a legendary publication that has made & broken careers over the years, as well as being heralded as a socially conscious, respectable magazine. In recent years however, there’s been increasing criticism against Rolling Stone for its inclusion of pop stars with questionable talents on their cover, oh that coveted cover.
Plus, some of the “best of” lists that the magazine has put out have been met with scoffs and raised eyebrows. How can you put out a best of list and please everyone, anyway?
Well, instead of concentrating on the “best” of any genre, now Rolling Stone have maybe taken a safe stance on determining the WORST songs of the 1990s. And oh boy, country music is represented!
Check out the Top 10 list after laughing your ass off at the worst 3 videos below, and let us know in the comments section if you agree with this list of the 10 worst songs!

TOP TEN WORST SONGS
1. Aqua “Barbie Girl
2. Los Del Rio “Macarena”
3. Billy Ray Cyrus “Achy Breaky Heart”
4. Vanilla Ice “Ice Ice Baby”
5. Chumbawamba “Tub Thumping”
6. Hanson “HmmBop”
7. Celine Dion “My Heart Will Go On”
8. Baha Men “Who Let The Dogs Out”

MORNING SHOW BONUS CODE: ACHYBREAKY

Former Newfoundland Premier Danny Williams was in Fort McMurray over the weekend, so we got a chance to sit down and talk about his legacy for Newfoundlanders, his title as “hero”, his thoughts on Jack Layton, his own health, and life after politics…listen for our conversation on McCully In the Morning!
I also challenged Danny to sit down and play some Skee-Ball in the SummersEND midway. I tried to get him to put some royalties on the line, but he wouldn’t budge. See what happens in the video below!
