Winter Blows

It was only this weekend it was 90 and humid and now it's 65 and rainy. I really try not to bitch about the weather out here too much because it's normally pretty awesome in the summer but this was a rough transition. It's supposed to be nice again this weekend so no worries but it really feels like winter today.

CBC showed the 200 meter dash live this morning and it won't be on NBC for another several hours of tape delay here on the West Coast. NBC seriously blows - do they not understand they could show stuff more than once. I learned that Olympic level table tennis players make a concoction of glue and chemicals to apply to the paddle called speed glue. Not a big deal except for the fact the stuff is so toxic smelling that a guy went into a coma for 6 DAYS after getting a strong whiff. This article does a far better job of explaining it than I could.

Canadian TV does have hilarious commercials because it's unintentional comedy. The long A's and commercials for Tim Horton's, Bell Canada, but my personal favorite is the submit your own hockey night in Canada theme contests. The long A made me think of the Fonzie statue the was put up in Milwaukee. It generated a parade and a front page article and picture you have to wonder what Milwaukee wants to be known for.

Drew - it's called bags because cornhole sounds stupid. You throw bags.
