Darn that time change weekend thing! The time in my car is off by one hour and I guess it will stay that way for the next 6 months, because I seem to have mis-placed the car manual. Come to think of it, isn’t it kinda odd that a car comes with a ‘manual’? Pg 2: put key in ignition. Pg 3: while in ignition, turn key. Pg 4: if there’s a screeching sound like a thousand hell-cats coming from the engine, you’ve already turned the car on. You don’t have to do it twice.
I can’t find my car scraper, either. Car scrapers are like socks. I think they all end up in the same place. There’s an island that no one has ever stumbled upon, filled with single socks and car scrapers.
I was surfing on the internet the other day and came across a special cruise that’s taking place next February. It’s the Dave Matthews Rock and Roll Cruise. Leaves from Miami, then you spend three days on the ship with Dave Matthews, then you go to a ‘secret’ island in the Bahamas and Dave plays a show on the beach. Sounds pretty cool. For US! For Dave, hmmmm. When you’re on a cruise ship, there’s no escaping. If the fan from hell is also on board, yikes. I can just imagine Dave Matthews trying to grab a shrimp cocktail at midnight. “Hey! Look everyone!! Its Dave Matthews!!! Hey Dave!!! Do you know any Beatles songs?!’ Anything by Chumbawumba?’ Looks like you got too much sun today, Dave! How’s the shrimp, Dave?
I enjoy running into friends that I haven’t seen in ages. But today, I was exiting a pharmacy with a total of 48 rolls of toilet paper under my arms. It was on sale. I heard someone call out ‘Sandy!” and it was an old friend that I hadn’t seen in probably ten years. We made small talk, you know, the usual stuff, what are you up to these days, blah blah do you ever see anyone from school, blah blah blah…but the whole time I was wondering….does this person think I have a rather abnormal amount of toilet paper tucked under my arms? Should I just volunteer the information that there was a fantastic sale on toilet paper? Or would that shift the conversation to a really boring place? Why would someone need 48 rolls of toilet paper? Or did he even notice? What am I supposed to do in this situation? Just before I got myself into a self-induced sweat, my friend simply walked away. Sheesh. Nice talking to you , too.

I'll take an interesting life for $100, Alex
I have to write a 6-line biography about myself. I have no idea what to say. All Bob FM announcers have been asked to give a ‘bio’ about themselves for this website. Hmm. The only thing I can think of, is that when I drive, I have trouble seeing over the steering wheel, yet I’m 5’8”. And I have 6 goldfish in a 130 gallon aquarium, but only one has a name. His name is Todd Chunder. All the other goldfish are Todd Chunder’s friends. There. I’ve done a bio!
It is now officially less than one month to go before the U2 concert. We got the word that U2 was coming w-w-w-ay back in March. I think that this is the longest period of time that I’ve ever looked forward to something. A lot of people plan weddings one or two years in advance, so they know what its like. I’ve never done that. I have been looking forward to U2 in Ottawa for eight months. Sheesh. Quite the build-up. Usually I just look forward to next weekend.
Since Ken Jennings finally got bounced off the show ‘Jeopardy’, after winning a gazillion dollars, I don’t watch the show much anymore. I rarely get past the beginning of the show, when the contestants have to divulge something amusing about their lives. Is it just me, or are Jeopardy contestants really that dull? I just watched Alex Trebek ask a contestant to tell a story about his dogs. Turns out, the guy didn’t have dogs anymore, but he did at one time. Holy crap.
Speaking of Jeopardy, ok, its not the same thing (because its w-a-a-ay more fun).. you gotta join us at World Trivia Night! Friday, Nov 4th, Aberdeen Pavilion, a fundraiser for ‘Champions for Children’. Get your team together, collect some pledges, then get set to answer as many trivia questions as possible, usually the one who shouts the loudest has their answer accepted by the team! We need to fill out our team, ‘Bob’s Big Brain’, details on this website! Or, go to www.worldtrivianight.com! This is the one night when knowing your marsupials may actually come in handy!

Hey! That's my arm!
I only watched the new Stones video for the song ‘Streets of Love’ about 20 times. We taped it right from the show ‘Days of our Lives’ and I sat there with the remote control and my finger firmly on the ‘pause’ button. Since I snuck my way into Zaphod Beeblebrox for the Stones video shoot back in August, I was quite curious about the final product. I was pretty sure I wasn’t going to actually be in the video, but I thought my fist-pumping may be. So, as I sat on the couch, watching the Streets of Love video frame by frame, inch by inch, I finally saw it. My arm. That was definitely my arm, and my fist. I was pumping it madly during the chorus of the song, and when I put the video on ‘pause’, I got a good look at my arm, sticking up in front of the boys on the stage. Wow. Maybe I should get a casting agent for my arm.
So Madonna has been popping up everywhere lately, promoting her upcoming album ‘Confessions on a Dance Floor’. She even walked in to a college class this week and surprised the students with a lecture about her life. Hmm. She’s been on tv a lot, on talk shows, etc, and every time she’s on tv she doesn’t miss the opportunity to announce that she never lets her kids watch tv because tv is bad. TV is only bad when it involves Bob Saget. Anyway, Madonna wants to help us clean our souls by hearing our confessions, or something like that. If you call the toll-free number 1-888-2confess, you can leave Madonna a list of any sins you’ve committed in the past week. She wants to know. I ate ice cream at 2 in the morning. There. I’ve confessed! Help me, Madonna!
They are draining the canal. If that’s not a sure sign of what’s to come, I don’t know what is. Soon, the skating shacks will be in place. They usually put those in during morning rush hour. I’ve been doing some serious cleaning and came across my never-worn skates recently. I say this every year, but THIS is definitely the year that I am going to go skating on the canal. Problem is, one of my skates has been half-eaten by a mouse. The soft foamy stuff on the inside and most of the tongue of the skate have either been eaten or carried off to make a nice little mouse bed. At least this year I have a legitimate excuse for not going skating. Mouse ate my skate.

its never dull with a Humunga Tongue!
Thank you to one of our wonderful listeners, Nathalie Cox, for sending me the link to a pretty amusing website. Its www.dullmen.com. This website is a tip of the hat to men who are dull, and lovin’ it! Dull men truly embrace their dullness. On this website, you’ll find: 61 pictures of picnic tables. Someone’s lawn mowing diary. Eight pages dedicated to the topic of ‘banning creosote’. And a father’s conversation about ‘rust’ with his son. Check it out for yourself. Not sure if there’s a similar website for dull women. If so, let me know. I’ll post something about one of my favourite topics, ‘zip loc bags’.
Fantastic news for those of us who are fascinated by weather. You know you’re in the club if you watch more than five hours of ‘The Weather Network’ each week, and you know the names of at least three of the Weather Network broadcasters. Anyway, its finally here! The new 2006 Environment Canada Weather Trivia Calendar! Why wait til 2006! Pick it up now and enjoy tidbits of information about weather that will make you a much more interesting person, especially at parties! (see, I told you, there should be a ‘dull women’ website!) I do admit to spending an alarming amount of time staring up into the sky.
I came across something on the internet that could be a great gift (Christmas?) for any dog owner. The website is www.asseenontv.com. The product is called ‘the Humonga Tongue’. It’s a red rubber ball with a giant red rubber tongue attached to it. You give it to your dog, and naturally your dog puts the ball in his/her mouth right away, wags its tail and wants nothing more than to play with this ball forever. The funny part is, while the dog has the ball in his/her mouth, the giant tongue part sticks w-a-a-y out. It looks like your dog has a 12 inch tongue. And the dog doesn’t care if you laugh, he’s having a great time with the ball so he’s not uncomfortable in any way. This makes ‘Humonga Tongue’ a much better product than doggie reindeer antlers, which I think dogs hate. If you ever see a photo of a dog wearing reindeer antlers, they always look really embarrassed.
Fans of ‘Rock Star INXS’…something cool to look forward to! Tara Sloan, one of the contestants on the show, will be in town this Friday. Tara will perform Friday at noon at the LCBO , Rideau at King Edward, a celebration called ‘Whisky Rocks’. Tara will join us in the studio, on ‘the Morning After’ on 939 BOB FM around 7:30 Friday morning. If you have any questions for Tara, send me an e-mail!
Getting tickets to the U2 show in Ottawa seems to be about as hard as, oh, I don’t know, maybe getting tickets to the Superbowl or the 2006 Olympic gold medal hockey game in Torino Italy. I’ve lived in Ottawa my entire life and I’ve never seen this kind of furor over one event! All the more reason to keep listening to 939 BOB FM, because this Friday is U2 Day – all day – 6 to 6 – we give away one pair of U2 tickets an hour. The contest is called ‘Who Do You Want to Take to U2’? and all the details are right here on our website. If you haven’t entered yet, do it right now!
I tested ‘spray on tan’ in a bottle the other day, just on my left arm to see what would happen. Thank you to the listeners who called to warn me that I should thoroughly wash my hands after rubbing the fake tan stuff onto myself. So I did. Hours later, I had quite a nice brownish-orangish left arm! Except the color stops quite abruptly at my wrist, and my left hand is still very white. Good thing its long-sleeve season!

why everyone should have a personal trainer
Did you happen to catch U2 on the Conan O’Brien show last week? We taped the show (its on too late for me) and just got around to watching it. That in itself is pretty impressive, if I do say so myself, for once I’ve actually watched something within a week of taping it. I still haven’t watched the opening ceremonies of the winter Olympics in Lillehammer, which I believe took place in 1994. But the tape awaits. Anyway, back to U2. I loved watching them on the Conan show because they were so relaxed, they were candid, they showed their sense of humour. Bono works so tirelessly to take care of serious global problems, and the world admires him for it, but it was nice to see him just kick back and have fun and share some laughs with Conan and the band. I loved how Conan dug up some tidbits from the past. With Larry, the Edge, Adam and Bono on Conan’s couch we learned that Bono started in the band as the drummer, but couldn’t quite cut it, then he was the lead guitar player, and that didn’t work out, then he wasn’t in the band at all, he was gently removed and given the role of manager. Then somehow he wormed his way back in, and became U2’s lead singer. Thank goodness for that. U2’s concert in Ottawa, we can actually say, is NEXT MONTH!! In my lifetime I have never seen a concert ticket so hard to come by. But, here at BOB FM, we want to thank all the listeners who signed our petition last winter and brought the band here. We have tons of U2 tickets to give away. All the details, right here on this website.
I’ve hired a personal trainer, his name is George. Having a personal trainer is fantastic. When you have a personal trainer, you use the phrase ‘personal trainer’ in as many conversations as you can in one day. For example, ‘Oh, that’s a nice color of t-shirt, that reminds me of the shoes worn by my personal trainer’. Or, ‘I’ll have a big Mac, fries, and, since I just left my personal trainer, I’ll have a diet Coke’. If you pay someone to be your personal trainer, you can say all these things. And then there’s something about getting in shape, too, but that’s not as big a deal.
My personal trainer is a caber tosser. He wears a skirt and throws telephone poles as far as he can. Can anyone tell me how this chain of events came to be? Did early Scotsmen decide that tossing telephone poles across a river was easier than building a bridge? And why didn’t they wear pants?
I’ve got my Hallowe’en costume all figured out. I know its early, but when inspiration strikes, you just have to go for it. I was watching ‘Arrested Development’ the other night, the show that is so funny but so twisted that its impossible to explain to someone at work the next day. Anyway, on the show, there’s a bit of a recurring theme involving the Blue Man Group. Perfect. I’m going to be a member of the Blue Man Group. Anyone know where I can get some metallic royal blue paint?

The Cute Team Is On Top!
I’m not sure how long it will last, but at this moment I am leading in the office NHL pool. I didn’t make my picks. I trusted that role to JR, and our producer ‘Hammer’. All I really cared about was that Ottawa Senators’ Mike Fisher was on my team, and that I had no Toronto Maple Leafs. The criteria for the rest of the players, was that they were cute. JR and Matt filled out my roster, I have 12 guys from all over the NHL, and I currently lead the pool. My pool-mates? John Rodenburg, of Bob FM and the Team 1200 Sports Radio, the biggest sports fanatic I know. Team 1200 afternoon host and former NHLer Gary Galley. Sens play by play guy Dean Brown. Sens color guy Gordie Wilson. 67’s and Sens play by play guy Dave Schreiber. Team 1200 morning guy Steve Warne. Team 1200 sports guy Al Jakubec. A Channel news & sports guy Dave Gross. And Bruce Garrioch, aka ‘Boo Boo’, sports columnist for the Ottawa Sun and frequent guest on the Team 1200 sports radio. And my team of cute guys is on top of the NHL pool. Like I said, it probably won’t last. But right now, I am enjoying the sweet taste of victory! When’s the next game?!!!!

Its Thanksgiving time! Can’t wait for the big turkey dinner. I have friends who are vegetarian, and they can’t wait for the big torfurkey dinner. Its tofu but they shape it exactly like a turkey, it even tastes like turkey. But the only thing they haven’t quite worked out with the torfurkey, is that it jiggles.
Whether you’re having turkey or torfurkey, enjoy your long weekend! And remember all that you have to be thankful for. Like being first in the office hockey pool.

INXS AND PRE-SALE MADNESS
This just in! The upcoming tour dates have been announced for the brand new INXS – featuring Canada’s own JD Fortune stepping in as the new lead singer….and….guess what? Ottawa’s not on the tour. The ‘Switched On’ Tour starts January 18th in Vancouver, then INXS do a bunch of shows in the U.S., then they are back in Canada on February 7th, Massey Hall in Toronto. Considering the fact that Canada supported the Rock Star INXS tv show more than any other country, including the U.S, I think that INXS should play every city in Canada. Just like those Corner Gas people.
I found out about the INXS tour by going on the INXS website, www.inxs.com, and surprise, surprise! INXS has jumped on the ‘pre-sale’ ‘fan club’ bandwagon, or as I like to call it, the ‘pre-pay for nothing’ club. More and more bands are doing this! On the INXS website, for the low price of $24.95 U.S., you’ll get information about the band before anyone else, and you can get concert tickets before anyone else. Does this drive you nuts? Can’t we just all be equal? Last week, when the Aerosmith show was announced, the ticket sale information came out something like this: As of Wednesday, American Express card holders could buy their Aerosmith tickets. As of Thursday, Corel Centre members could buy their Aerosmith tickets. As of Friday, me and you could finally buy our Aerosmith tickets. Oh well, at least we know that everyone in section 330, row Z refuses to buy into pre-sale ‘pay for nothing’ exclusive-fansite-members-only offers. We’re rebels!! Rebels with lousy seats, but still rebels.
This time of year is fantastic for anyone who loves taking pictures. With the trees starting to turn orange and red, I take my camera with me wherever I go. You never know when you’re driving along and right at a certain moment, the sunset meets a lone crimson maple tree and ‘click’! You’ve captured the moment forever. Except you’ve also captured the gas station next to the tree, with the price of gas at $1.19.
I came across this website, called ‘SaveMyAss.com’. Its directed at guys who tend to forget their wives’ birthday, Valentines Day, anniversary etc. ‘SaveMyAss.com’ will send your wife flowers on all special occasions, AND, they will also surprise her 6 times a year with ‘just because’ flowers, for no reason at all. You simply give them your billing information, and you can write all the little notes that go with the flowers in advance, one entire year’s worth. For guys, it means they never have to think about buying their spouse flowers. For women, they get the flowers 10 times a year from a company called ‘SaveMyAss.com’. I’m not so keen on this myself. I think I’d be more impressed by a squished donut that my husband actually picked up for me for a surprise, than a big beautiful bouquet of roses from the SaveMyAss company. But I’d love to hear what you think!
