Wayne Gretzky's Rocket Hockey

So, Chrissy and I were talking about our favourite board games and Wayne Gretzky's Rocket Hockey came up in conversation.  Well, a listener named Craig has loaned us his.  Huge tournament coming soon!

Some of the ABS

This is a run down of last year's Christmas party.  I'm sure some of you can relate.

Member Lil' Lulu?  Ace doesn't.  Or maybe he does. 

The Departed 2

I love this movie.

I Train Trivia

Today's question:

The Midway State visit

Nathan from The Midway State sent me a Youtube link of his visit with me at the HOT*103 studios a couple of weeks back:

Dr. Football's weekly NFL picks.

Boom.

Rick Rolling Has Officially Jumped The Shark

Macy's decided to get Rick Astley to sing "Never Gonna Give You Up" on a Thanksgiving Day Parade Float, thus "rick-rolling" everyone watching on the streets and at home.

Let me get this straight, Rick Astley won't show up to the MTV Europe Music Awards to accept an award, but he will show up to lip-sync his one hit on a parade float. in New York City.  All right then.

Father and Son???

I've been told by several people that John Sauder looks like my dad.  So, I want know what you think.  Do we look alike?

The Revolving Restaurant is closing...

It's true. The people that currently own it are not renewing their lease in the new year and the restaurant will shut down... new ownership is entirely possible, but in the meantime, I put out the call for people's favourite Winnipeg restaurants that don't exist anymore... below is a list of some of the more popular answers (including the name of a perplexing eatery that was apparently around in the late 1970's that had talking tables and toilets):

Bonanza
Chuck E. Cheese
Chi Chi's
East Side Mario's
Ponderosa
Mr. Green Jeans
The Kaboose McDonald's on Pembina
Chris Walby's Hogtown
Mr. Steak
Shakey's Pizza
Uncle Willy's
Fuddruckers
Underground Pizza Works (this is the one that had the talking tables and toilets)

The Christmas Orange Eating Contest

Ace came up with the idea of having a Christmas Orange eating contest. We opened the phone lines and each picked one caller to be on our team. Suzie and her son Max are on Chrissy's team and will destroy everyone. They eat Christmas oranges for a living. Not really, but they eat alot of them. Lloyd's team member Dan is working on a video of him getting oranges and we can't find Ace's partner. Ace will lose. It's funny 'cause it was his idea to start the contest. This is Suzie and Max.
