When you type a web address have you ever taken note of the extension past the dot part. Stuff like .com,.org,.ca ?

A Parti Quebecois member is looking to get Quebec a new extension after the dot. He’s proposing a .qc suffix. Meaning most things involving Quebec would be www.(adress here).qc

That got me to thinking. Seeing as the member wants the .gc because he wants the “internet to reflect the reality of Quebec” perhaps we , the CHEZ NATION, should have the internet reflect our reality as well. After all we are a nation!

I’m going to look into the idea over the weekend and perhaps follow this members lead and see if we can get a CHEZ NATION suffix. I’m thinking a .rok , .rock, or .roc would be good… an example would be www.cheznation.rock or www.chez106.rock!

For leaving your comments , even if it’s to agree with a proposed extension, I’ll shoot you a bonus code by the Wednesday.

You have to admit that politics locally and nationally are pretty damn boring. No wonder there’s a low voter turn out everytime there’s an election.

That being said folks from other countries seem to have figured out how to get people at least interested in politics.

Case in point is the above picture. It’s of a former porn star who’s looking to win a “seat” in Rome’s City Hall. She says that when deciding what to put on her poster she thought she’d show off her best “assets” to make a lasting impression!

Based on her background and presentation of the poster I’d vote for her!

Unfortunatly the movie about John Lennons killer will premier in NYC in the next 2 weeks. It stars Jared Leto and Lindsey Lohan so already you know it’s going to suck. Above is the trailer for it. Hoping people won’t help out his killer in the quest to be famous through John’s death. I’m sure there’s nothing he’d like more than to see the movie bring in box office gold!

A lady down in Australia has plead guilty to stabbing her husband to death over a Bruce Springsteen album. Apparently he wouldn’t let her play the Boss anymore and that led to a fatal fight. Her defence when officers showed up to arrest her was ” Well he wouldn’t let me play my Springsteen! What kind of human being doesn’t like Springsteen?”

While this story is sad it brings up a great point…What album would you kill/die for?

With the Vatican’s announcement of the “new” sins I thought we as the Chez Nation should also lay out our own list of “sins” for the rock world. What do you think should be considered a sin in Rock & Roll?

My votes are: Thou shalt not disgrace the guitar gods by air guitaring to their songs (Hendrix, Page, Clapton, Vaughan)

Thou shalt not collaborate with rappers

Thou shalt not lend your songs to country music artists (Tom Cochrane)

for adding to the list under comments I’ll shoot you a bonus code by weeks end worth CHEZ Nation Points!

Along with the record breaking snowfall here’s another I could’ve done without seeing. It’s a man who now can lay claim to having the world longest ear hair. That’s right the stuff that looks like a bad mullet is actually coming out of his ears. It measures a whopping 5.2 inches!

With all of the snow we’ve gotten in the last week or so it’s only natural to feel the winter blues. When you get 50cm over one weekend it’s tough to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Any time I get the winter blues I beat them by doing the most Summer time activity I can think of…drinking and BBQ ing. My neighbors and girlfriend all think I’m nuts. After spending 3 hours shoveling out my walkway and driveway they couldn’t understand why I’d take another hour to shovel out the back yard to BBQ!. The key to winter BBQ ing is having the proper “equipment” (Notice the bottle of wine) Feel free to share your stories on how you beat the winter blues.

Use the code word WINTERBBQ for CHEZ NATION points!

I hear Carp is getting it’s first ever highrise…this apparently is what it’ll look like when it’s all done!

Here’s Keith’s latest. He’s now modeling for Louis Vuitton. Notice the Louis Vuitton guitar case on the bed with him. The girls around the office say it would be worth somewhere around a gagillion dollars.

The slogan to accompany the picture will be..” Some journeys cannot be put into words..3am New York..blues in C minor” whatever that means!

Do you see what a man in Poland does? This is the vacuum that he was allegedly having relations with.

In his defence the guy says he had the hose stuck down his pants to clean them!
