Summer jobs….

Friday, April 25th, 2008

Remember when this time of year meant it was ‘time to start looking for work’?  Ahhh, the summer job….what did you do as a student? 

I did landscaping at a golf course in Burlington for 2 of the years I was in college…..I also cleaned houses….guilty confession…I cleaned a woman’s toilet with her toothbrush….once.  She was such an uppity snippy Beeotch to myself and the ladies I worked with.  Be nice to the hired help;) 

 How about an ‘Awesome Summer Job’?  I’m compiling a list for tomorrow’s tv show.  The Jack Nation Countdown runs Saturday afternoon at 4pm.  How about ‘beer taste tester’?  ‘Ice cream quality control’?  What would your ‘awesome summer job’ be?

*Traveling motorcycle tv show? ( I know a girl…nudge;)

*Bikini Inspector

*Roller Coaster tester

*Personal Shopper

*Bee Keeper (seriously, someone, somewhere wants to do this)

What would you choose to do, given carte blanche?

Use ’summerjob’ for some extra points:)

Thanks for stopping by,

Sam

……..if you missed the countdown this weekend the bonus code was rollercoaster.  The bonus code for the tv version was priest.  The Metal Masters tour is coming to the Ampitheatre August 13th….on the bill, Judas Priest, Motorhead, Testament and Heaven and Hell.  The priest bonus code is worth points, but, also is an entry for tix to see that show….AND….soon, we’ll have tix for the Jack presents of ‘Cruefest’….Motley Crue, Papa Roach, Buckcherry, Trapt and Sixx AM are all on the bill.  That will be a wicked day.  The date of that show is August 28th. 

I hope you had a terrific weekend.  Two second Tuesdays are back this week…..wait till you hear who you can see and where….it’s the best one so far……

Meet Keiko! Now THIS is a ride….

More of your rides….look at her go……

anissa5.JPGHey Sam,

I listen to you every day and had taken note that you ride.  For the longest time I pondered what type of bike you ride and decided to visit your blog to see.  I thought “she’s gotta ride a sport bike of some sort.”  And so, my suspicions were confirmed.  To ride a Gixxer (sorry - can’t tell the displacement from the pic), you must be a woman who loves speed and cornering.  So my question to you:  Have you ever taken it to the track?  Or, have you considered taking it to the track?

There are several women from Ontario and Quebec who race in the Women’s Cup Challenge - a motorcycle roadracing series that only us gals compete in.  It would be awesome for you to come out and visit us this year.  Who knows?  You may (hopefully) get the itch to join us. :)

For more information, the official website for the WCC is www.womenscup.ca.  Here is a pic of me last year on my SV650.

And btw, I love listening to your show.  You really are the best DJ on 925 JACK FM!

Have a good one,

Anissa

Brampton, ON

 Thanks for your email, Anissa.  That’s a cool shot….

I have done track days in the past and loved it.  I’d suggest it anyone who likes to ride….

History was made over the weekend.  Danica Patrick won her first IndyCar race yesterday at the Indy Japan 300…..wicked….she’s 26, hot, smart and outrunnin’ the boys….Anissa, I think the two of you may have lots to chat about given the opportunity.

 Use ‘fast’ for some extra Jack Nation points.  Thanks for stopping by!….and codes from this past weekend….’tourbus’ and ‘royals’.  The first is from the Jack Nation Countdown heard on the radio.  The second code is from the television version of the countdown….Saturdays at 4pm on City TV

megs-bus.jpg Hi Samantha,

Thought you’d get a kick out of my favorite thing to drive in the summer months. It’s my 1968 Bluebird schoolbus R/V. It looks a little like a bus from Tiajuana Mexico at the moment but I’m forever hopeful that it will receive a new paintjob in the near future. The inside has beds, seats, a table, stove, sink, cupboards and closets. I often think I will try to write in to some of those make-over TV shows to get my bus PIMPED -OUT but until then I’ll be happy in my hippie bus.

Megan Phillips

Hey Megan, thanks…..and, if the ttc go on strike, you may get a call;)

 Enjoy the beautiful weather this weekend…..

If you missed the Friday afternoon code, it was ‘twisttop’.  That code is good until midnight tonight.

 Thanks for stopping by!

Top 5 movie or tv cars….

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

images.jpgIf you had your choice of any vehicle used in a movie or television show…..which one would it be?  The General Lee?  Remember the Jeep Daisy Duke drove?  How about the Starsky and Hutch Torino….how about the gas mileage on that beast nowadays?  What car would you like to own?……at least for the weekend:)

Use ‘batmobile’ to score some extra points.

Thanks for stopping by!

Back to your rides….

Back to your rides……and the nice weather it seems…..I’ve officially ‘broken up’ with Environment Canada and am now dating The Weather Network.  They seem to have a forecast I’m more interested in believing:)

The picture above is Matt’s jeep….I think Matt’s part of that club of Jeep owner who like to say, “it’s a jeep thing, you wouldn’t understand”…..thanks for your pic, Matt.  If the forecast (my bf’s forecast) is correct, you’ll be losing the top and the doors this weekend….here’s hoping:)

Use the word ‘jeep’ as a bonus code for some extra points.

 Good luck with Two Second Tuesday, don’t forget to enter your answer before midnight tonight.

Thanks for stopping by!

We’re continuing to post pics of your ’sweet rides’….thanks for all the email and pics….this is Neil and his wife Elaine.  Here’s the email that accompanied the pic.  Thanks, Neil.

Samantha:I emailed you about a ride. My Harley babe and I got married and sailed off to the reception on our Harley Davidsons. Post picture if you want of Biker Neil & Harley Babe ‘Elaine’. Incidentally we met on line as I saw her on her bike and fell in love instantly.Cheers…Neil

The link above is the one I reference in the Jack Nation Countdown….it’s  REM with their appearance on Sesame Street.  It’s pretty funny.  They’re singing ‘Furry, Happy Monsters’ to their ‘Shiny, Happy People’ hit. I’ll post the extra bonus codes on here from both countdowns a little later today.  

 Wow, what an annoying font this is……:)

We’re out on location this morning at Lowe’s in Brampton.  370 Kennedy Road South is the location we’re at. Lowe’s are having ’spring celebrations’ at all of their stores.  Hope to see you if you have a chance.   Thanks for stopping by!Samantha

Check out Cheryl’s car…..sweet…..I wanted a ‘68 Charger forever……I think it had a little more to do with Bo and Luke Duke than it did with the hemi…..I didn’t learn about Mopar and their hemi’s till later in life:)  Here’s Cheryl’s email:

Hi Sam
Great show.
Our favorite summer ride is our ‘69 Charger SE and we’ve had her for over
