I admit it, I really want a Magic Bullet. It all started innocently enough late a couple Saturdays back when Paul and I had been watching some music DVDs and strumming on guitars to find ‘Blind Date‘ on. 30-minutes of retro fun folded into infomercials, and in our tired haze it seemed a great idea to watch. What was unveiled before us was the single greatest infomercial of all time: The Original Magic Bullet, aka the personal versatile counter-top magician. I was so fascinated by this device’s ability to rip through everything from salsa to smoothies it wasn’t until afterwards I found myself asking the important questions: Who are these people? Why is only one of them hung over? Why are they having fettuccine alfredo for breakfast? Where’d the “nasty, stinky garlic” lady come from; is she Mimi’s mother? Let’s be honest, I don’t care; I need an Original Magic Bullet so I can make omelets and breakfast margaritas. The two for $100 deal makes my Christmas shopping hella-easy this year as well.
I shouldn’t allow this post to escape without thanking Cliff for inviting me along last night to the Jays/Twins game on some free ducats he snagged off the Jays website. It wasn’t hard to figure out why tickets were free with approximately 500 people present for the singing of the anthems. Like stealthy ninjas we (Cliff, House, Mike, myself) slowly moved our way to improved seats, at one point groping the foul pole (not a pole!) presumably to say we did. Absolutely nothing of interest took place, an oddity for me and the Jays, but a good time was had by all as we took home the 9-0 victory. A big up yours to Gretzky’s for baiting us with the promise of a Mookie Morris concert only to find out they hadn’t changed the sign since he’d played last week. Apparently both Mookie and Wayne Gretzky are liars.
Speaking of YouTube I need to thank Sionne for this awesome viral video for ‘Tropic Thunder’. If you haven’t seen it yet (the video, not the movie) check it out below the drop-down.

I have the magic bullet. I used to make smoothies with it for breakfast. It’s a PITA to clean.
I was ‘so disappointed’ that I didn’t get to see Mookie Morris from Canadian Idol last night.
Greztky was overrated. Damian Cox is a poor writer. Stephen Harper has some bad commercials. RYan Malcolm isn’t bad with Low Level Flight – have a listen.
Bacon Bacon I requested a freind long time ago, they’ve yet to accept.
Crusty Trucker is no longer on facebook. He was awesome.
Gretzky was definitely overrated. The Harper commercial is good only because of those two Asian girls.
Snider hit his 1st major league homer… I’d say that was something of interest.
Exactly, Rick. Shame on you. But I won’t say anything about that cuz House has imposed a ban on me saying that stuff about a certain someone.
