Afternoon Drive with Jeff & Carly

So it turns out that 54% of us would re-use a toothbrush after it has fallen on the bathroom floor.  If it didn’t have toothpaste on it and your floors were relatively clean, I could see that, but 9% of men admit to re-using a toothbrush after it has fallen in the toilet.  In the toilet???  If that’s the case, why not just use the toilet brush to scrub your teeth all the time?  It has a bigger handle, a better grip, and certainly offers excellent coverage.  Hard to reach those back molars, though, unless you’re The Joker.  The same survey revealed that half of us are willing to share our toothbrush with a spouse, family member or friend and 5% would even share it with a co-worker.  I wouldn’t share my toothbrush with anyone.  You might say, yeah, but when you kiss someone you’re swapping spit anyway, so what’s the difference?  The difference is that certain things get stuck between people’s teeth and can only be dislodged by a toothbrush or floss.  Ask a dental hygienist and s/he’ll tell you - popcorn kernels are just the beginning…

Okay, so it’s my first blog entry and of course it’s the day after the Springsteen show.  I can’t type at the best of times.  You know it’s bad when the sound of your fingers tapping on the keyboard is pounding in your head.  It should be illegal to schedule a concert on a Monday night.  Actually, it should be illegal to have to work the rest of the week after a Monday night show, especially one the caliber of The Boss.  If you were there, you know what I’m talkin’ ‘bout.  If you weren’t, you’re about to turn Mr. Yuk green with envy and probably make that face, too.  (If you weren’t a child in the 70’s, check out the link to Mr. Yuk – he even has a theme song.)

Bruce opened with Radio Nowhere, which you wouldn’t guess is a new tune because his devout Toronto following knew all the words.  Everyone at the ACC was on their feet the entire time, fists pumping, belting out lyrics, chanting “Brruuuuccce” in between rock’n roll anthems.  Sure, there was new stuff, but lots of classics as well, like Darlington County, Badlands, and Born to Run.  Simply put, Bruce Springsteen rocks!  He’s an engaging entertainer who clearly loves what he does.  Samantha Stevens and I had a most excellent time.

You might have missed Springsteen, but you still have a chance to win his autographed guitar.  The one day draw for members of the Jack Nation is this Thursday (Oct. 18).  Make sure you join the Nation if you haven’t already.  It’s free and you score points for doing something that you’re doing anyway – no, not picking your nose in traffic when you think no one is looking, but listening to great tunes on the radio.
