Moose FM CFBG 99.5 - Muskoka

It may be just me but I’m sure everyone at the grocery store yesterday was happier, the rosy flush of Canadian pride still fresh on their faces after our incredible performance in Vancouver.  Of course, there were our athletes, each one of them trained to give their best at the Games.  For that we are proud.  Button- busting, walking tall P-R-O-U-D.  But it’s not over yet.  In just 10 short days another influx of world class athletes will converge on Vancouver.  1,350 Paralympians and officials from over 40 countries.   Among them Gravenhurst’s Graeme Murray.  He’ll help power Canada’s sledge hockey team.  GO CANADA GO!!

So this sweater caught my eye in October, I got it for Christmas from my brother and thus began the Olympic bet that I would wear it everyday during the Olympics. So, I present to you the sweater. And also I would like to note the Maple Leaf sprinkled donut I am holding. Well Done Tim Hortons. Could it be you read my prior blog about Game Day Donuts! Yeah, good call Kitch indeed!! I am loving the Olympics by the way. How depressing is television going to be come Sunday when they’re done. Anyway, if you see me around town or at meetings with this massive red Canada sweater - Now you know. Oh and I’ll have my mitts on too, can’t forget those!

Somebody gets it! My birthday is days before Earth Day, so this will be a welcome gift!

Superbowl Sunday is this Sunday. More potato chips will be consumed Sunday than any other day of the year. Superbowl Sunday is second only to Thanksgiving, in terms of the day that the most food is eaten in the U.S. Couch potatoes will be in their glory!!!!
I'm picking the Saints to win...New Orleans deseves it!!! As a team, and for that city that has been through sooo much!!!
The other big stat, outside of the game of course...is the cost of a 30 second commercial. Last year it was 3 million dollars!!! This year, thanks to the economy, 30 seconds of airtime is available for the bargain price of...2.5 million dollars!!! And they won't take everyone's money!!! A few commercials have already been banned from this year's broadcast. One for Godaddy.com...I guess the scantily clad women scared the censors?? But they air the Lingerie bowl as part of the broadcast?!?! Another ad for Mancrunch.com was banned. Deemed too offensive. It's for a gay dating website, but I honestly laughed when I saw it...i love the look on the third guys face!!!! In my mind...the censors need to relax a little. But I'll let you judge for yourself...here they are:
