Not only is this trick shot amazing, it’s funny too!

This is the best thing since Chinese Arm Wrestling!

Thanks Deb!

Now we can all say “We knew her when…”

That’s right, Melissa Parrott… my niece… my wife’s twin sister’s daughter… my son’s cousin… has won the Country Music Television’s search for a summer host contest! She received the call yesterday morning at 1:30 am and by 6:30 am she was on a plane to Toronto to begin the exciting summer she has in front of her.

A big thank you to all my many fans (ahem) who took the time to log onto CMT.ca and vote for Melissa. It worked! Now just tune into CMT and enjoy the fruits of your labour…

Congratulations Melissa! Enjoy your summer!

When you are in a bus or on a train, this is how you hang on to ensure that you won’t fall down.

I’m referring to the older gentleman by the door. But you knew that, of course.

Thanks Dave!

We are rolling out a new phone system where I work. Tonight is the big cut over night and one of the vendors made a mistake that caused a level of service to be missing for a few hours. The employee sent us a message apologizing for the mistake.

“I do apologize for any incontinence this may cause your organization.”

Did she mean the opposite of “continuity“, as incontinuity? Or was she just trying to say she hopes she didn’t scare the shit out of us!

My wife and I had the opportunity to go see this show in Saint John, New Brunswick this past Thursday. I lucked in to a couple of free tickets and thought, what the heck, the worst I could do is get my money’s worth, right? Well… were we in for a surprise! What a freakin’ show! Watch the video for a sneak peek.

For those of you reading this from Newfoundland… there’s still time for you. The show will be at Mile One stadium in St. John’s from June 19 through June 28. Check it out… you won’t regret it!

Remember a few weeks ago I told y’all about my niece, Melissa, who applied to CMT’s Casting Call to be the face of Canadian country music for the summer? You do? Great. Well, thanks, I think, mostly to my wife’s obsessive voting every night for hours, Melissa made the cut and is among the final five.

You heard me.

She is in the final five candidates in a national competition to be a television music station host! As impressive as that is, it’s not good enough. We can’t rest until she is the winner. Same deal as before folks. Go to the CMT casting call website and vote for Melissa. And don’t vote just once… vote over and over again. Click that mouse until the fingernail on your index finger falls off. The voting window is from today, June 8, until June 29. There will be a finale show on June 29 at 8 pm Eastern Time Zone featuring all five finalists. The winner will be announced June 30 at 5 pm ET on CMT.

What are you waiting for? Go vote! My wife can’t do this one by herself!
