Sorry about the neglect...

Hey everyone, sorry about neglecting you for so long. I have been fighting pneumonia, or however you spell it, for about 3 or 4 weeks and it was rough. At first all I could do was sleep and not eat. I went around 10 days without eating. Literally. It sucked so I am sorry that I have not posted anything.

As you can see from the picture above it snowed last night. Snow on Canadian Thanksgiving. Yup, today is thanksgiving here in Canada. That's right I get two days of turkey and football. Jealous? Yes I know you are. We got dumped on last night, but the sun is out and it should be gone soon. I hope so I need to take the boat out to it's winter resting place. That might be hard to do in snow.

Not only do I get two Thanksgivings this year I get to vote twice. No, I am not voting twice in the US election. It get to vote in the Canadian election on Tuesday. I am geeked. I will of course have pictures for you to see tomorrow. Can't wait to vote against Harper. What a tool. This is the guy if you remember, that would not hug his kid when he dropped him off at school. Total tool.


Theater Ads from hamiltongbp on Vimeo.

FIRST: So lets get back to it. I am still waiting for Tony to let me know when he can talk for the Podcast. I know this Entourage thing is taking a long time, but you know, something this important, you just can't go off half cocked. So since Tony is waiting for the right time to blow us away with his wit and charm I will give you a bit of Tony to tide you over. Back in the day in Bismarck Tony was an active member of my crew to make commercials for KXMB TV. He was very versatile, that is if playing himself makes him versatile. These ads are for a local movie theater. When was the last time you EVER saw a local theater advertise on TV. Yeah, never. It stars Yours Truly, Tony, and the guy you can't see in the shadows is Ross Lytle. Production wizard who now works, I have no idea where he works. Anyway, things to watch for in these ads are my bad acting, my bad hair, and Tony's quote "I don't get it". Enjoy.


NEXT: I went to see the savior of rock and roll the other night. Danko Jones played Regina at the Drink. Now whenever I have a chance to see Danko I do. This guy plays balls out rock and roll as you can see in the photo. If you are not Canadian I imagine you have not heard of him. If you haven't you should check him out. Amazing live. Great on CD. He has 4 records out and they are all good.

If he ever comes to your town, go and see him. This guy will knock your socks off. Really good. He has some cheesy videos that you can watch, but they do not do him justice live. Really.

Also check the dude with the camera phone in the picture. He recorded the whole show on that phone. What kind of memory card does he have? Holy crap. How do you shoot a whole two hours on a phone? I would like a copy of that video.


Okay, NEXT: The Pack have had a few bad weeks. Three in a row to be exact, but they put it back on the rails this last weekend with an ass whuppin of the seachickens. I think the queens could even beat them. Speaking of the queens, they really should thank the refs for their win this last weekend. Man that PI call was brutal. No way in hell that was even close to a PI. The Lions? Wow, you queens are an offensive juggernaut.

Meanwile Number four has 6 touchdowns in one game and a winning record. WTF? I am not really going to get into all that drama again. Really. Again the fine photo on the right was provided by PackerPalace Dot Com.






NEXT I would like to welcome back to the fold a guy who for some reason or another just fell off the face of the earth a while back. James Grandy, of the formerly Minnesota Babe Winkleman Grandy's, is now living in Minot. Which I hear is beautiful this time of year. I found an email to him recently, after searching forever, and he reconnected. Not sure why he dissappeared, maybe he was running from the CIA, or from a crazy rabid fish from one of those swamps in Minnesota. I don't know. I was worried that he had been dumped off the boat by Babe in some out of the way Minnesota swamp for insubordination. Nope, just decided to move to Minot and start his own biz. He has a crazy fishin' and huntin' show on outdoor channel that you can watch. That is the trailer up there. Have a look and let us all know what you think.

Welcome back James. Nice to see you again. Here's to you not going into the witness protection plan again.

Me thinks Me likes. I am a captain of a ship, we have lakes here in Saskatchewan with lots of fish, so you do the math. I think an episode should be shot here in Regina. Make sure you email (grandy@srt.com) the producers to let them know that this is an episode you want to see.




LAST - I will leave you today with this video. It is great. The partner of 'Maverick', you know the one. The one that is not qualified to be VP. Here she is at a Flyers game, again propping up the myth that she is a hockey mom, dropping the puck. She got her ass booed. It is awesome. I love Philly fans. They will boo anyone.

My favorite part is when she is getting the shit booed out of her she just ignores it, like she did every question in the debate, and waves like everyone is cheering. Completely oblivious. Good quality for someone running for VP.



Have a great weekend, and Happy Thanksgiving to you Canadians, Columbus day to all the Americans.
Now GET BACK TO WORK!!!!!

Just a few things...

Okay first things first. Schmenkus' Podcast has raised the ire of the Nordic One. He seems to think that Venckus was running smak at him. Here is what he had to say...

WOW. Schmeckus runs smack at me? I guess I will take that as a honor as the one to take off the hill. And the he has the balls to Rank on Curling. He was good until he went there.

Nordic Man

The Nordic One is huge into curling. In fact I think it is safe to say in Green Bay, the Nordic Man IS curling. Venckus the ball, or should I say rock, is in your house now. What say?

Okay, lets get on with things...

Why does Danny Mac have that look of 'shoot me now' on his face? Well last Friday the Prime Minister was in town. Okay for those of you south of the border, it is like the President George W. Well, except this PM did not steal an election to get his position. He won fair and square. Any way Prime Minister Steven Harper was in town for a very, very, staged photo op. He is giving all the RCMP Cadets money during their training, which is a good thing. It is hard to find anything bad in this announcement. Still I think the PM is a major dork.

He came in, stood around for the cameras and then held a major presser with a room full of Cadets. That is the key to a good presser, fill it with people that there is no way that they will disagree with you. It is easy to get over in a room full of people you are giving stuff to. I don't mean to be all negative on this, but I am not a fan of Harper at all. Too much of a bully for my taste. I think he is more about his image and taking care of his buddies in the oil industry in Alberta than keeping Canada on the straight and narrow. Anyway, I got my video, and got out. Danny Mac was equally as excited.

Okay enough about the guy who is too much of an uptight dork to hug his kid on the first day of school in front of the cameras. Lets move on.

Well this is what I did on Fathers Day. The Monster Energy Drink Canada tour. We drove to Morden Manitoba and worked a Motorcross race. Not a bad gig. I was positioned on a hill jump about two feet from the bikes. I swear I was bumped a few times as the bikes jumped over my head. It was awesome.

The day started a bit crappy because it rained but it cleared up and the races went off without a hitch. I was invited to go on this trip by Matt, of the trip to Billings to get my truck Matt. That is him in the really gay, not that there is anything wrong with that, rain gear and head band. I know Preacher is a big moto guy so he probably knows some of the guys on this tour but I had no idea. It was a good experience and another thing I can say that I worked. Sweet gig.

Well I am still waiting to hear back from the War Hero Tony Mutzenberger to see if he is going to lower himself to do a Podcast so I will let you know how that goes. Until then,
GET BACK TO WORK!!!!!
