The Q92 Morning Crew

Everyday, about half way through the Q Morning Show, Mel checks her horoscope.

EVERYDAY. Like clockwork.

Now, if she did it in silence, that would be okay. But anyone who knows Mel, knows she doesn’t do anything in silence. So she reads me HER lame horoscope, and I have to pretend I care. Then, she reads me MY horoscope. Again, I don’t care.

Truth is, my opinion on horoscopes is simple, they’re total BS. To think that we can predict what’s going to happen in our lives today based on when we were born is ridiculous. Not to mention that “Melissa’s horoscope” is the same horoscope that everyone born in the same 1 month span is reading.

The argument from some avid horoscope readers is always this: “But sometimes it totally comes true!” Sure it does, because it’s so general, sometimes it’s gonna “come true”. An example of a lame horoscope: “Today you feel tired, but don’t let it show, something good is about to happen.” Of course you’re tired, it’s Monday. And just because you didn’t hit a red light this morning doesn’t mean your lame prediction came true.

Horoscopes are dumb, keep ‘em to yourself Mel.

Classic toys, like classic rock, never seems to go out of style. This morning we told you the stories behind our favourites, like Mr. Potato, Play-Doh, and the Slinky. They’re simple, cheap, and, best of all, they don’t need batteries! They sure don’t make ‘em like they used to….

Here’s another one that’s stuck around - Etch-A-Sketch. Click here and you can draw online! And when you’re done, there’s nothing to put away.

As heard on the Q Morning Crew…

It’s called the WINE RACK . . . and it’s basically a bra that you can fill up with wine . . . for those occasions when it just isn’t cool to be getting drunk. (–Like at church or your daughter’s piano recital.)

The bra is made of polyurethane . . . and it has a bladder which is able to hold an entire bottle of wine. It also has a hose and nozzle which ladies can discreetly sip from when no one is looking.

And to make a good thing even better, the wine rack serves the double purpose of increasing the wearer’s chest size by up to TWO FULL cup sizes.

The only catch is that the more you drink, the smaller your chest gets. (But the more you drink, the easier you get. . . which makes up for your decreasing chest size.)

GUYS!

There’s something for you too: The Beer Belly.

What a night for 300 Club Q Rock Stars last night at the Dante Club with Q92’s Super Bowl Party. Thanks to Budweiser, Bigguy’s Jerseys and Sportswear, Pepsi and the Dante Club for helping throw a great party.

What a game it was too! A huge upset as the Giants keep the Patriots from finishing their perfect season. But enough about that…

Show me the Super Bowl commercials! At $2.7 million per 30 second spot, here they are:

And one of MY favourites:

This morning we were talking about people that stay in a hotel room and leave with more than they came with.

According to TripAdvisor, 22% of people ADMIT to stealing. How many don’t admit? It’s also estimated that hotel room theft costs the North American hotel industry over 100 million dollars annually.

Now to be fair, I’ve been guilty of snatching up the soap after I’ve used it. But that’s used soap, the hotel would have just thrown it out anyway right? I’m saving the environment!

But some people go much further as Carmen from the Days Inn Timmins told us this morning. She says that guests taking towels and even batteries from the remote and smoke alarm are a regular occurrence! I can’t believe someone would ever take the battery out of a smoke alarm. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Are you really that hard up for a 9V? I mean honestly, what do you own that even takes a 9V? Besides your own smoke alarm…

Who says only kids have fun?

Check out these rockin’ seniors….I think someone spiked their tea.

When asked about their religious beliefs, some Canadians penciled in Jediism in the latest Canadian Census.

It’s no joke.

Star Wars fans are joining together - light sabres and all - to share in the values expressed in the George Lucas films.

We talked to John the Jedi from Texas this morning - he’s a believer in The Force. I didn’t know what to expect when we called him up. And you know what…I was pretty impressed. John was a really sweet guy, not an odd bird at all.

…And just for fun…have you seen this one? The poor kid in this video has been teased online quite a bit. Maybe more than ‘a bit’…it’s been viewed more than 4 million times!

A 16 year old guy from Australia threw a party while his parents were away on vacation. Nothing strange about that, right?

…Until things got out of hand…dun dun dunnnnnnnn….

Here’s the whole hilarious story.

It’s kind of like the People’s Choice Awards of Wings, but without celebrities and acceptance speeches. Actually, it’s just like THIS YEAR’S People’s Choice Awards. I’m sure Queen Latifah enjoys a wing or two every now and then. Thanks to our Club Q Rockstar’s votes, here are the 9 best places to order a pound of wings in the north according to you. Just in time for the weekend. Mmm…

Top 9 Wings In Timmins (and area):

1. Casey’s Bar and Grill
2. Mickey J’s Big House
3. Nikki’s Sports Gallery
4. East Side Mario’s
5. Jake’s Bar and Grill (South Porcupine)
6. Moneta Hotel
7. Stop 610 (Connaught)
8. Olindo’s Pizza (Iroquois Falls)

And how do you like ‘em?

• 27% of Rock Stars said “With A Beer”. We think that goes without saying.
• 2nd place was a tie for “Medium” and “Hot” with an honourable mention going to “Honey Garlic”.

Have you seen her new show on CBC? Wednesday nights at 8:30. 

In the National Post, Timmins’ own Natalie Brown writes about her transition from the North to stardom. See? Shania Twain isn’t the only celebrity to come from this city.
