Monday, December 24th, 2007

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my blog.  It’s a little light today, simply because it’s the 24th of December and really f’n early as I type this:)  I’m off and out of town for a few days….back on the 31st and in for Chalmers….whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukah or just time with the family, I hope you have a special few days…particularly if you are not looking forward to the holidays.  It can be a sucky time of year if you have lost or are missing someone, so to you….I wish you comfort. 

 The Jack Nation Countdown is running throughout the holidays.  It’s kind of a year in review show…I say ‘kind of’ because all the cool changes here at Jack didn’t really begin until this past September….so, musically it’s not totally representative of new rock for 2007…..there’s a lot there that you’ll recognize, but, some cool stuff too….a little extra Zeppelin, some Johnny Cash….it’s good.  If you don’t have a chance to hear it, the bonus code is ‘2007′.  It’s good until after the New Year. 

As of January 7th our 9-2-5 pay songs will be worth $1000.00 each…nice eh?  All you need to is be a Jack Nation Member to get entered.  Nice and simple.  All the deets will be on the front page of our website shortly….Tuesday January 8th is a ‘Ticket Blowout’ for Ozzy tickets, so, another reason to join….

Happy Holidays to you and yours.

See ya on the radio…..

Creepy website…..not ours:)…..try the link….

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

http://www.subservientchicken.com/

What a creepy website….not sure what made me think of it this morning…..I wonder how long it took these guys to record all of the moves you can suggest to the chicken……I wondered for a time if it was real….but, how, if there’s lots of people visiting the site…..creepy.  Imagine if that was your job….eeeek…..

 Here’s a shot at some Jack Nation Points…..who am I?

My name is Terrence (yes, I spell it like that)….I can play a mean bass guitar if needed…..I’ll be the host of a new television show in 2008…..it’s an old show turned new…..I have ripped more shirts than anyone you’ll ever know…..enter my name….the one the world knows me as without any spaces for 100 Jack Nation points.  The code is good until midnight……yellow and red are two colours associated with me…..my daughter is a singer she sings lots of anthems at sporting events……..

Next week, with all the holidays on, there will be no 9-2-5 pay songs or 1000 point Jack Nation Bonus codes.  All of that will resume in the New Year…..and it’ll be a little more fun because cash will be your reward for the 9-2-5 pay songs…..

Thanks for stopping by.

See ya on the radio……

It’s Only Tuesday…..

Tuesday, December 18th, 2007

One week today, those of us who celebrate Christmas will cleaning up the mess from Santa’s stop…..one week.  Wow.  It feels like Thursday or something to me….just a long week I suppose with Christmas parties, family obligations and all that….bring on the time off!! 

How’s the Christmas shopping going?  I still have a couple items to buy…..just about there.  Yesterday, in a flash of brilliance, I decided Sherway Gardens would be a great place to hit on a Monday afternoon…..thinking, ‘it won’t be busy’….so did the rest of Etobicoke apparently:)  After a couple hours of cruising the mall, a beer was in order…..shopping can be tiring…..back downtown to Fionn MacCool’s on the Esplanade.  What a nice, cozy pub….

 Ready for some trivia again? 
She’s one of America’s favorite stars and had one of Hollywood’s longest careers. She was a major movie star from the 30s to the 70s, and appeared on television for more than 50 years….she’s appeared on the cover of tv guide a zillion times (okay, an exaggeration)….this is a quote of hers…”A man who correctly guesses a woman’s age may be smart, but he’s not very bright”. 

Figure it out, enter her full name, first and last, no spaces for 100 Jack Nation Points.

 See ya on the radio…..

Eggnog for breakfast???

Monday, December 17th, 2007

Eggnog…..go enter that into the bonus code section of the site….that’s the bonus code from the countdown.  I wasn’t able to access this particular blog site thing-a-ma-jig this weekend, so I’ll keep that code active until midnight tonight:)

Who am I?

Friday, December 14th, 2007

My birthday…..November 21st 1942

I’ve won Academy Awards

I look as good today as the first time you saw me on tv

I live with a very famous feline I am a male

I have a speech impediment

I’m as popular as the Tasmanian Devil…..

Who am I?  Enter my full name without spaces as a bonus code for 100 Jack Nation Points and the knowledge that you had the answer and Jeff Brown didn’t;)

Our office ‘Holiday Gathering’ is this Saturday night.  Should be a gong show….as soon as all the management leaves.  That’s when things usually get silly.  I’ll take a camera and see what shakes….literally…. 

The Jack Nation Countdown runs three times over the weekend…Saturday morning at 8, Saturday night at 10pm and Sunday evening at 6pm.  There’s a 1000 point bonus code during the countdown.  I’ll post it on here over the weekend at some point, so check back…..I’ll also provide more clues about the trivia listed above it you can’t figure it out.

 Have a great weekend!  Stay safe with that big storm system on the way.

See ya on the radio….

jackgirls.JPGsistas2.jpgHere’s a couple pics from the Casey’s Rocktail party before the Bon Jovi Show one week ago.  The first one is me with Joanne and Carly….the second is me with my little sista….There are a bunch of others in the gallery section of this site.  My apologies for not updating this blog sooner than today.  Life has been a wee bit busy, and odd….Jeff Chalmers was ill Monday and Tuesday, which put me in for him…..he’s better thankfully.  His whole family had the flu….sounds like they could’ve done a commercial for the flu shot….

My bonus code is worth 100 points today.  I feel bad for not having posted the Ozzy bonus codes on Tuesday, so, I’m not going to make you work for this code today…..tomorrow will be waaaay tougher though, so, stop by:)

 Your code is ‘carly’.

 See ya on the radio……

Ode to O2….

Monday, December 10th, 2007

How great would it be to see the Led Zeppelin reunion show that’s happening tonight?  Over the next day or so we’ll see and hear lots about the band and HOPEFULLY confirm some tour rumours. 

 Okay, you can google these lyrics if you want to score points, but, try it without googling first.  Figure out the song title and get 100 Jack Nation Points.  Enter it as a bonus code…without any spaces.

 Well I just got into town today
To find my girl who’s gone away
She took the Greyhound at the General Store
I searched myself I searched the town
When I finally did sit down
I find myself no wiser than before

I know you know that song….if you heard the first couple notes, you would completely get it….we’ll talk with all some of our Jack Nation Zeppelin winners tomorrow and see how the show and the afterpary went…..I’m excited for them:)

Tomorrow, we’re having another Ozzy ticket blow out.  We’ll start at 9 and run it through until 6 pm.  A pair of tickets every hour!Good luck….

See ya on the radio….
