For those who wanted to see it...

Here's the photo Lock submitted for that Beautiful People website...



I think the chin thing was a mistake as it's usually reserved for Sears catalogues and grotesquely overweight, slightly comedic, minor celebrities (such as NFL on FOX field analyst Tony Siragusa)

This morning's predictions

Here's a summary of this morning's predictions about ourselves:

1. When will Ali become a mother?

Lock: 2 years.
Chris: 8 years.
Ali: NEVER!

If Chris doesn’t like summer so much, will he move to Alaska?

Ali: *CENSORED*
Lock: the end of the summer.
Chris: Never - but maybe somewhere in Canada with mountains and RDS to watch the Habs games.

Lock, When do you see yourself getting married?

Ali: "first he needs a girlfriend for more than 2 months... so 3 months?"
Chris: 10 months. 1 month to find a girl then - oops - married nine months later.
Lock: hopes to give his mother a Christmas present (in 2009) of a new daughter-in-law (and probably make her a grandmother).

Rooting for Bob

It's at this time that I'd like to direct everyone's attention to a rather famous Bob in the world of Canadian sports. He's currently visiting Sweden on a meeting that is tremendously important to me and my fellow Canadiens fans.

I'm talking about Bob Gainey as he attempts to court Mats Sundin to sign a contract that would have put his name and number 13 on the back of the bleu, blanc et rouge. Of course, the ramifications of this would rock the entire hockey world. Here you would have the all-time Toronto Maple Leafs' leading score suiting up with their longest rivals (though I argue the true rivalry ended in the 70's when Montreal won multiple cups and the Leafs a big goose egg.) It would be the biggest defection in the history of the two teams, which is huge given how moments of Habs-Leafs history have been few and far between since 1967 (outside of Montreal sweeping them during one of their late 70's cup runs.)

The Habs celebrate their 100th anniversary next season and look like they want to make it special. I'm a big fan of their trade for Alex Tanguay and you've gotta think if they lose out on Mats that they'll be pushing for another free agent on Canada Day.

But as an optomistic fan who's poised to be on the winning side of a Sundin deal this is incredibly exciting. It's not often a team has an exclusive chance to court one of the 20 best players in the league, whether he's the captain of your chief "rival" or not. It's a situation that fits both the team and player well, and the instinct of almost any sportswriter you'll find says this is going to happen.

I couldn't be happier if it does.

P.S. Listen tomorrow for your own opportunity to pull a Ray Emery and "Take The Money And Run" as we take more qualifyers for a chance to see the Steve Miller Band and Joe Cocker.

Why so hectic!!!!!!?

Things have been sooo busy around here and at home, I have barely been able to sleep let along blog! I was wondering why things were so busy, it’s not Christmas! It’s not even summer yet (not till Saturday). But I guess with holidays starting, the work loads pile up for everyone just to get that one day off. Ahh who am I kidding, on that one day off that you get it’s up time to catch up by doing that dusting that has been put off, the gardening, the cleaning, maybe hit the gym. Oh I can’t wait for my big day off this Friday. I actually may forgo the cleaning, the gardening and the gym and simply sit on the deck, swim and nap (weather pending).

Lets recap the week...

Chris is off this week, he actually didn’t even tell us what he’s doing for his week off, I’m going to guess he’s playing a lot of Guitar Hero.

Lock was in a strange rugby accident that had him tackled and hurting his neck so bad he went to the hospital and had to take Friday off, although his ruby buddies say he’s a baby (I’m paraphrasing), Chris and I were concerned for him. Seems a little too close to a serious paralysing accident to joke about too much (although we did joke a bit), he is find and will be back to ruby this weekend. Good luck dude, please be careful!

I had Bark Busters back to our house to work with Baxter, he was doing sooo much better with not losing his mind when the door bell ran and jumping on people, but he has figured us out. When my husband & I practice he’s really good but he must sense that it’s just Mike or I at the door because when friends come over he goes bananas. So with Bark Busters there he jumped on them with excitement, his little tail and entire butt shaking he’s so happy to see them…which means we failed, but again within 5 minutes they gave us tips on how to fix it and they worked! Incredible! I can’t say enough good things about Alana & Marco from Bark Busters. They work the entire 1000 Islands and Eastern Ontario area, so if you need help check out their Bark Busters Website give them a call and see what they can do for you, you will be amazed!

The Good, Bad & Whatever from Monday went something like this:

Good
for Ali: We went to the Cubs game!! The roof was open, stadium was fuller than usual, beer was cold, Cubs won! Also went to the cottage for Fathers Day, had an awesome meal that mum made, sat in the sun, went out in the boat for the first time this year!

for Lock: Went and Saw Nikki Payne at YUK YUKs in Ottawa...she is the crazy east cost comedian with a Cleft Palate and lisp she was on last comic standing last year and made it pretty far and is also part of Much Music’s Video on Trial... Hilaaaaarious

Bad
for Ali: Started a freaking diet (last year lost 20lbs but gained it all back, so I’m trying again)

for Lock: Wasn't able to play Rugby Saturday because of my stupid neck...WEAK!!!!!!

Whatever
for Ali: The US Open (whatever cuz there wasn’t a winner yet, they had the play off on Monday and I found it sort of exciting!)

for Lock: Pretty sure the Westin Hotel in Ottawa tripled the price of their hotel rooms when they saw me coming in... based on my 'relaxed attire' Last time I stayed there... $150 for one night... this time... $376????? What????


Myth Stoppers today we tackled the myth “Your best golf shots always occur when playing alone”. Lock teed off alone, it sliced right with not a lot of distance, the second time he got someone from the club house to watch and he said it was one of his best shots ever! That myth was stopped…out of the fairway (does that analogy work there?).

So now you’re up to speed, we’ll try not to go so long next time!

Stuck in My Head

OOOOOhhhhhh Show me that Smile... I am still singing the growing pains theme song hahahaha looking forward to tomorrow when I get another one stuck in my head after playing BOBs famous fathers on the Game Zone.

Its been quite the week, have had...
  1. Hockey Night in Canada
  2. Littlest Hobo
  3. Growing Pains

All Stuck in my head...

It is pretty amazing though with me walking the halls singing/ humming/ whistling these songs it doesn't take long for the rest of the peeps in the building to start whistling/ humming/ singing the same songs.

there is a scientific explanation behind all this and its called an ear worm but there is no guarenteed way to get rid of it...

One American Scientist, Professor James Kellaris of the University of Cincinnati said one way that seems to work is listening to the song in its entirety should in turn force it out of your head. Be careful not to try and replace it because you will generally just end up with another ear worm.

Tomorrow more chances to qualify for BOBs Big Daddy + BOb fm road trip #75 to see Bachman/ Cummings at the Molson Amphitheatre in Toronto.

Here at our Blog is the only place you will be able to find when the song your listening out for will be played...

Its a Guess Who song in the 7 am hour

SSSSSHHHHHH don't tell anyone

FREEZIES!!!

Well it has been a while since I have been here on the BLOG and I must apologize first and foremost.

Soooooo much has happened in the last couple weeks that it is really tough to keep track of everything and to keep you up on everything so lets just start with Sunday...

Sunday began for me at South Grenville District High School in Prescott which for the time being is the home field of the Brockville Privateers Rugby Team. We played the Cornwall Crusaders...again and we lost...again but this time it was close!!! which is pretty exciting I feel like this weekends game against Barrhaven will be our big moment to collect our first win!!

It seems as the big interest around me playing Rugby, at least amongst the other members of BOBs Breakfast, are the injuries so here is a brief list of where i was stood on during the game...

  • Left Eye (Elbow)
  • Nose (Knee)**
  • Left Thigh (Stood on Twice)
  • Right Foot (Stomped On)
  • Back (Stood on a few times)

**Worst one... Thought it was broken

You can track the progress of the Brockville Privateers> here

Right after the game it was right home to quickly nurse my wounds before heading off to Toronto With Helen Blackburn + Friends to Check out R.E.M at the Molson Amphitheatre and what an amazing group of people to travel with and I thank them all soooo much for an incredible time.

Modest Mouse opened the show and were followed by a full on two hour set by R.E.M. Amazing to see such an incredible band that have an immense amount of experience. we returned from Toronto around 3 am so I spent my ENTIRE day yesterday sleeping... don't judge hahahah.

And here we are today after a Late Night Tuesday Morning getting set for Myth Stoppers Wednesday... But you will have to wait to find out what we will be stopping or trying to stop tomorrow...

I can tell you that we have BOBs Big Daddy (Fatherhood Showdown) continuing and for BOB fm Road Trip #75 you are listening out for songs by BTO/ The Guess Who/ Burton Cummings...

When you hear one 1 800 495 1037 to Qualify... and I'll let you in on a little secret... Its coming up in the 6am hour tomorrow... but thats just between you and me.

Alright I'm Out, but I will leave you with this... I love Freezies!!!

Top 5 Freezies...

  1. Grape
  2. Cherry
  3. Orange
  4. Peach
  5. Blue...Not really sure what the flavour is

Camp Day (Part Two)

Had a lot of fun at Tim Horton's Camp Day this afternoon. I was placed in front of the drive thru window, and managed to hand people a lot of coffee without spilling a drop. OK, one drop. But it was just that: a drop. I was also peddling Hershey's Kisses, being promoted by the "operator" as a "kiss from Chris from 103.7 BOB FM." Man, when people turned the corner and caught a look of my grill - unaware of the true nature of said kisses - well... let's just say I've never seen people go around a donut/coffee/sandwich shop that fast. Nice of them to still toss the money they owed at the window, though I was hit in the eye with a dime.

Big thanks to the ladies at Timmies who helped me out, though they did talk about the Lock - who was there before me - quite a lot and about how loud he was. As I quipped... Lock's all action. I'm all reaction. I'm not sure what that means but trust me: it made sense.

Tim Horton's Camp Day

Tomorrow the Lock gets to live out his dream - to be around Tim Horton's products for an entire hour. Next on the list for him - bathing in bacon grease. Disgusting to all except him.

Anyhow, all three of us will be at area Timmies burning ourselves with coffee and trying not to drop your donut as we hand them through the drive through window. And, like Michael Jordan once said on the wicked awesome "Pro Stars" cartoon... it's all about helping kids. All the hot beverage money will help send kids who really should go to camp... to camp!

I am absolutely knocked aback by how busy it has to be for Timmies' staffers. Two years ago at my last Camp Day I did more work in an hour than most male models. Wait, they don't do any work; they just stand around, often surrounded by women. Hell, that's less work than what I'm doing right now: Sitting at a computer listening to Sgt. Pepper.

Have a good one, and listen tomorrow as Bob's Breakfast heads to Texas!
