Wayne Gretzky – Father of the Year or Hypocrite?
Wednesday, November 30th, 2011
Paulina Gretzky, the 23 year old daughter of the Great One and Janet Jones, has shut down her racy twitter account after a chat with her dad.
Now, on one hand I think “Good for you Wayne, you don’t want your daughter to be spank bank material for multitudes of men.”
On the other hand though, didn’t Wayne marry a playboy bunny, and now he doesn’t want his daughter to be oggled? Hypocrite much?
How is a young, attractive girl with no talent and a rich, famous dad supposed to make it in the world? It looks like Paulina is just following the career arc of several Hollywood girls.
Note to Paulina, rather than giving away your sexiness for free on twitter, just go the whole way and make a sex tape. It has propelled Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian to super stardom.
Also Paulina, if you need to hire me as some sort of advisor/film co-star, I am here.

Strangest Grey Cup event ever
Monday, November 28th, 2011
The best moment of Grey Cup weekend (besides the Pilsner at Riderville
) was this bizarre moment from the CFL Alumni luncheon.
Rivals for decades Joe Kapp and Angelo Mosca got into an altercation after Mosca offered flowers to Kapp as a peace offering.
In the 1963 Grey Cup Mosca drilled Lions running back Willie Fleming late and knocked him out of the game. His Tiger Cats went on to win the game.
Apparently before the flowers were offered though, Mosca did refuse to shake Kapp’s hands.
Way to take that sort of hatred to the grave boys (which I don’t think is far away).

Funniest video you will see today
Friday, November 25th, 2011
Maury Povich is a fun show. I love the formula. Somebody has a baby. They are pretty sure one guy is the father. They take a paternity test. They yell at each other. The results are read. The girl either yells at the guy or runs off stage crying.
Well here is a paternity test that breaks the pattern, somewhat.
This guy doesn’t think he is the baby daddy because the kid has light complexion and has blue eyes.
He did some investigating and found on her myspace that she has one white, male friend. So logically he must be the baby daddy.
Only problem is that white friend is Tom, the inventor of myspace who is friends with everyone on myspace.

The Whaddaya App
Thursday, November 24th, 2011
I have certainly been in situations here in Fort McMurray when I have been talking to someone from Newfoundland and I haven’t understood what the hell the person was talking about.
Well perhaps this app is for me. It is called the Whaddaya App. It will translate Newfoundland dialect into commonly understood english.
It costs 99 cents and is available for Iphone and Android.

Why all the hate?
Tuesday, November 22nd, 2011
Last night Sidney Crosby came back and before the game even started the Crosby hate was enormous in the social media world.
I cannot understand why the best hockey player in the world is so reviled by so many in his home country?
Some of the people I saw last night made ridiculous claims like Crosby constantly plays with his head down (I’m sure all those miracle passes that make his linemates better are done with his head down).
Others said he milked his injury.
I have said this previously, but in this day of head injuries it is actually refreshing to see a player waiting until he is absolutely certain there is no risk of long term health issues before he plays again, especially the best player in the NHL that is a tremendous role model for this country’s young hockey players.
Most say they hate Crosby because he is a whiner.
Fair comment I suppose, but I would say he is no more of a whiner than any other superstar in the league (especially Ovechkin). He is also the captain of the team which means he has to talk to the refs more than anybody else. As well the camera is alway on him which means every little thing he does, we are all going to see.
Ask many of the players who played against Gretzky and they will tell you he complained to the officials just as much if not more.
That just got me thinking, was Gretzky so well loved because he played on a Canadian team?
If Crosby played for Edmonton or Calgary or even Toronto would he be given the love I think he deserves in his home country? Perhaps.
Love him or hate him, you have to respect him. There are very few players in the NHL that work as hard. There are several players in the NHL right now that can learn something from his work ethic (Alexander Semin).
I will say this I was in awe at times last night, as where several NHLers (judging by tweets). Even if it was against the Islanders.

Sid the Kid is back
Monday, November 21st, 2011
I am a Pittsburgh Penguins fan, so needless to say the past ten months has been very tough waiting for Sidney Crosby to come back.
I don’t think at this point you can doubt how important he is to the NHL let alone the Penguins.
He was on an unbelievable run last year before his injury and was one of the best defensive forwards as well.
Tonight everyone will be watching and judging Crosby as they always are, this Pens fan hopes he continues to silence his critics, as he always seems to.
This is from a few years ago but not many players in the NHL today have put together a resume like this.

The Dangers of Quotes
Friday, November 18th, 2011
I hate when people constantly use quotes as Facebook statuses or on Twitter.
I feel that those are places to express how you are feeling. How YOU are feeling. Not how someone who you have no connection to whatsoever once felt and now you are piggybacking how they feel.
One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone attributes a quote to “Unknown” or “Anonymous”.
It may seem like nothing, however you have no idea who that person is. It could have been said by an extremely horrible person who had a moment of clarity and accidently said something hilarious or inspirational.
“I woke up last night at 3 a.m., 4 a.m. and 6 a.m., and although I am very nervous I am also extremely excited and happy today.” – Unknown
That quote seems alright right? How about now…
“I woke up last night at 3 a.m., 4 a.m. and 6 a.m., and although I am very nervous I am also extremely excited and happy today.” – Jack the Ripper
How about this one…
“Look down on me, you will see a fool. Look up at me, you will see your lord. Look straight at me, you will see yourself.”- Unknown
How about now…
“Look down on me, you will see a fool. Look up at me, you will see your lord. Look straight at me, you will see yourself.” -Charles Manson
That is my point, how do you know when you put a quote from Unknown as your status it wasn’t just the original publisher of the quote going….”Ummmmm we can’t have a quote from Jack the Ripper or Charles Manson here, let’s just attribute it to Unknown”.
In short, it is alway safer to come up with your own inspirational quotes. Be a leader, not a follower.
