Left Behind Friday August 24th
1- Cops putting Support our Troops on cruisers - The police are going to put those ribbons in support of our troops on their cars. While I think the whole magnetic ribbon thing is overdone it’s a good cause and supporting our troops doesn’t mean supporting a war. Anyone who puts their life on the line for their job has my support.
2- Movies opening this weekend - The line up includes a new Mr Bean Movie and the Sam Jackson movie Champ. I didn’t talk about them because who really cares. Both movies will suck. Now next week will be worth going to..Rob Zombies version of Halloween opens!
3- Brain May finishes doctorate - He finally handed it in on astrophysics! It’s not really news until he says now that that’s over he’s going to make music again.
4- Kiss Army is back - They’ve started it up again! For a fee online you can be a card carrying member of the Kiss army. Reason I didn’t talk about it..I didn’t play Kiss and I really dislike Gene Simmons
5- Spin Rage - Apparently this is a new word used in health clubs by people who use stationary bikes. The person who’s on the bike gets upset when they’re asked to get their arses off the bike and starts a fight. Reason I didn’t talk about it- Funny story but I want the video first!
6- City Picking up syringes - A guy in Ottawa is having problem with drug users leaving there syringes around his neighborhood. He’s been picking them up so that kids don’t prick themselves on them. He’s asked the city to pick them up to which they’ve replied NO! I didn’t get to this because it’s a pretty heavy topic to be talking about headed into your weekend…wouldn’t you rather hear our intern rock army leader Tiffany talk about how she “sucks up a storm”
7- Dress for Success in the Sun - Normally these articles don’t interest me because I think their full of $hit. Because I’ve been asked to shed my “dirtbag” image for tomorrows live on location broadcast from Scotiabank Place (10am-2pm) it caught my eye. After reading the thing it made no mention of how stylish a white fadora with a nice sportcoat outfitted with skulls looked so i still think articles like that are BS.
I’m off to intro Trooper at Super Ex..hope to see you out…if not hopefully tomorrow at Scotiabank Place!

RE #1 - I am totally behind anyone who puts their neck on the line too. But I’m not convinced that the mission is a going to succeed, and the government has conveniently juxtaposed “Support the Troops” with “Support the Mission”. I don’t think a lot of people really know the difference, and I don’t think that publically funded municipal vehicles should be promoting the Federal gov’ts position on the Afghan mission.
I mean, does anyone NOT Support the Troops (that is, hates them and thinks that they as individuals are bad)?? I think nearly everyone admires the idea of a person who risks their life to save or improve the lives of others…it’s one of the defining qualities of the Hero! So why do we need stickers everywhere to reaffirm this?
If so…some new ones are in order. “Love Cute Puppies!”
“Hate Axe Murderers!” “Support Nice People!”
