Song Of The Day:Vindaloo By Fat Les
The song was originally written as a parody of football chants, but was adopted as one in its own right and became a cult classic. Much of the song consists of the phrase "nah nah nah" and the word "vindaloo" repeated over and over by a mixed group, occasionally interspersed with lines such as "And we all like vindaloo" and "We're England; we're gonna score one more than you".

When Was The Last Time......
1.) When was the last time you asked a stranger for directions? Probably when we were in Disney world and I was trying to interpret the maps of all the parks.
2.) When is the last time you thought, who would actually pay money to see that movie? Ironically I usually think that every time I see a Disney Flick. I am not usually a fan.
3.) When is the last time you kissed someone's boo-boo? Two days ago Brooke had to get one of braces removed and one of her adult teeth at the front removed to make room due to to crowding. She was a trooper and there was alot of bleeding and swelling. I kissed and cuddled with her all afternoon.
4.) When is the last time someone asked you for fashion advice? I don't think that's ever happened. I am all about comfort and am no fashionista.
5.) When is the last time you put something back on the shelf after reading the nutrition label? Too often.
6.) When is the last time you asked to speak to the store manager so that you could praise an employee? I don't think I have ever done that.
7.) When is the last time you added fresh flowers or other personal touches to your house? Daily
8.) When is the last time you chose, or influenced the name of a pet? It was a dictatorship and Garth was the dictator. The girls and I wanted to give our female dog a sweet, classic name.......instead she got Jedi.

10 Irritating Phrases
A top 10 of irritating expressions has been compiled by researchers at Oxford University.
10 — “It’s not rocket science.”
9 — “24/7″
8 — “Shouldn’t of”........ The correct phrase is “shouldn’t have.”
7 — “It’s a nightmare.”
6 — “Absolutely.”...........It is annoying because the word is being used as an equivalent to yes, such as when you ask someone if they enjoyed something and the response is, “Absolutely!”
5 — “With all due respect”
4 — “At this moment in time”
3 — “I personally”
2 — “Fairly unique”
1 — “At the end of the day”

Review Of The Rosie Live Show
I grew up watching a variety of variety shows such as Sonny & Cher, Donny & Marie, and The Carol Burnett Show. So of course it was only natural that I would be interested in watching the Rosie Live Variety Show that aired last night. I was a little leery and overall I think they lived up to my very low and limited expectations.
During her opening monologue Rosie seemed nervous and awkward at times.
Then came the duet with her and Liza Minnelli.......ugh!! The highlight was the male backup dancers.
I liked her dialogue with Alec Baldwin and hope he did not injure his back when he lifted her up and carried her around.
The appearance with Conan O Brian and the pie in his face was so not funny.
The tap dancing with the kids was cheesy and a good time for a bathroom break.
The next unremarkable act was "The Lumbar Twins."
Jane Krakowski was entertaining and easy on the eye.
The interaction with Clay Aiken was embarassingly dumb.
I appreciated the singing of Neo.
Kathy Griffith impersonating Nancy Grace was lukewarm amusing.
Next up..........I always had a weakness for Harry Connick Jr and they let him sing a little Christmas jingle. Another highlight so far.
Next was a part circus, part rodeo, hula hooping, lassooing act that kept me mesmerized.
I have no idea how to descibe the next little skit except painful. Rosie as a cop is not funny.
The top act went to Alanis Morissette who sounded fabulous and was almost too talented to be on this show. I wished the show ended on this high note but it did not.........
Then came Gloria Estefan who did some unfunny dance number with Rosie and Racheal Ray.
All in all, I have definately outgrown the Variety Show genre of Television.

Song Of The Day: Shake A Tail Feather By Ray Charles
"Shake A Tailfeather" is a song originally recorded in 1963 by the Chicago-based group The Five Du-Tones. A 1967 version by James & Bobby Purify reached #25 on the charts.
This fun song has been covered by many other artists over the years, perhaps most notably by Ray Charles, who performed the song during his scenes in the 1980 film The Blues Brothers.

Song Of The Day: Love Hurts By Incubus
Lead singer, Brandon Boyd recently expressed his thoughts on the song saying,
"It's almost a little bit of a cliché. It is talking about the idea of love and finding love and having it be purity and having it not be tainted by your misperceptions, misconceptions, expectations and transcending the sort of more worldly aspects of the love experience."

GQ 2008: Men of the Year
In the featured issue, DiCaprio posed as a early 1900s boxer, Michael Phelps wears very little as usual, Obama is on the campaign and Jon Hamm poses in a wheat field.
Song Of The Day: Laid By James
This emotionally evocative song features the risqué lyrics "This bed is on fire with passionate love, the neighbors complain about the noises above, but she only comes when she's on top". Because of the lyrics, the music video of the song replaced the infamous line with "she only sings when she's on top" (although Tim Booth clearly lip-syncs the original line, and is accompanied by a subtitle reading "hums", possibly an oblique reference to the edit)

Song Of The Day: The Trees By Rush
One common interpretation of this song is that, it is descriptive of the relationship between Canada and the United States. In this reading, the Oaks represent the U.S.A., the Maples represent Canada, and the "forest" they share represents North America. (Consider that the oak is the most common species of tree in the U.S. (as the maple is in Canada) and that the maple leaf is part of the Canadian flag.)
Peart has been quoted as saying that the lyrics for this song were inspired by a cartoon and that the song has no deep meaning.

The Top 10 Sex Myths
Are men more promiscuous than women? Is semen low-carb? Do Black men have bigger penises? Forget what you’ve heard, we’re about to separate frisky fact from fiction and put some sex myths to bed.
10. Men are more promiscuous than women.
False. Shocking to some women as it may be, a study published in The Journal of Sex Research that was conducted by Terri Fisher, an associate professor of psychology at Ohio State University’s Mansfield campus, and Michele Alexander, an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Maine, suggests that women may be just as promiscuous as men - they’re just not as open and honest about it. According to many surveys, men more often than not report engaging in sex at an earlier age and claim they have more sexual partners than women do. Fisher says, “Women (on the other hand) are more sensitive to social expectations for their sexual behavior and may be less than totally honest when asked about their behavior in some survey conditions.”
9. Women don’t like porn.
False. A 2006 study carried out by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis measured brainwave activity of men and women as they viewed both erotic and non-erotic images and found that the female participant’s responses to pictures of partially clad couples posing seductively were similar to their male counterparts, proving that women like porn pics too.
8. Drinking pineapple juice can make your semen taste better.
True, but there is no guarantee. While semen is considered scientifically neutral as it has a pH of 7.2 to 8.0 and is largely composed of fructose (sugar), many women complain that the taste of it is bitter and salty. This is largely because of what the man eats. Sperm is affected by what you eat, just like all secretions of the body. Many women have reported their man’s semen tasting better when they consume fruits that are high in natural sugars such as pineapple, papaya, cranberry, melons, mangos, apples and grapes, which offset the bitter taste.
7. You can become addicted to web porn.
True, but the risk is low. MensHealth.com reports that “only 1 percent of all people who check out internet porn will become addicted, but adds if you’re sporting a ring, be careful: 38 percent of addicts are married.”
6. Men think about sex every seven seconds.
False. According to the Kinsey Institute, 54 percent of men think about sex every day or several times a day, 43 percent a few times per month or per week and 4 percent less than once a month. On a side note, the Kinsey Institute also reported that 19 percent of women think about sex every day or several times a day, 67 percent a few times per month or a few times per week and 14 percent less than once a month.
5. Men reach their sexual peak at 18 and women reach theirs at 28.
True, to a certain extent. In regards to sexual hormones, a man’s testosterone peaks at age 18 and a woman’s estrogen in her mid to late 20s. “But peak hormones don’t mean peak sexual performance,” says Marc Goldstein, M.D., a professor of reproductive medicine and urology at Cornell University‘s Weill Medical College.
4. Semen is low-carb.
False. Semen is largely composed of fructose (sugar) and enzymes, so sticking to an oral sex-only diet in order to fit into that bikini is probably not a good idea this summer.
3. Most women orgasm through intercourse alone.
False. Sure, the penis is enough to get some girls off, but according to Dr. Elisabeth A. Lloyd, a philosopher of science and professor at Indiana University and author of “The Case of the Female Orgasm: Bias in the Science of Evolution,” only a small percentage of women experience orgasms often or very often during sexual intercourse. Stimulating the clitoris during intercourse greatly increases the chance of orgasm, due to the simple fact that the sole function of the clitoris is to induce sexual pleasure.
2. Black men have bigger penises.
True, according to a study mentioned by iVillage.com contributor Tracey Cox. The study, she says, states not only are Black guys’ penises bigger, but they’re thicker too. The study revealed the following stats: Asian men were smallest, averaging four inches to five and a half inches, Caucasians came next with six inches and the penises of Black men reportedly measured six and a half to eight inches long.
1. Green M&Ms make you horny.
False, unless they do. Then that’s totally awesome.

Did anyone really have any doubts that I was going to be Marilyn? Post your results in the comments.

Song Of The Day: Sometime Around Midnight By The Airborne Toxic Event
This American band from Los Angeles consists of singer and guitarist Mikel Jollett, guitarist and keyboardist Steven Chen, bassist Noah Harmon, drummer Daren Taylor, and keyboardist and violist Anna Bulbrook. The band takes its name from the postmodern novel White Noise, by Don DeLillo, which won the National Book Award in 1985. In the book, a chemical spill from a railcar releases a poisonous cloud, dubbed by the military as an “airborne toxic event.” This serves as a metaphorical device for the novel’s themes of mortality and media consumption, as the protagonist Jack Gladney is forced to confront the prospect of his own death.

Song Of The Day: I Don't Care By Fall Out Boy
When asked about his view on this video, Pete Wentz stated, "It's a series of vignettes, and in the end, the joke is: Everyone in the world who is famous is just a WWE character. And some of you are Hulk Hogan, and some of you are The Undertaker, and it's awesome. It's just as great to come out to the boos," Wentz told MTV News on the Los Angeles video set.
The video starts with the band sitting in a room next to other "rock stars", one of which is Gilby Clarke, who say that Fall Out Boy aren't "rock stars". The end of the video reveals the true identity of Gilby.

Weekend Recap
Thursday evening my husband told me to come straight home after work on Friday.He was planning on taking me out for the evening. No kids......just us.
I had a hunch where the secret date was going to take place and I was right.
We went out to dinner and then to the premiere of "Quantum of Solace." I have been hearing mixed reviews but once again, Daniel Craig delivered the type of Bond character I like. I am also enjoying the building rapport between M( Dame Judi Dench) and Bond.
I am not so much a fan of going out to see movies anymore as I prefer watching them in the comfort of own personal home theatre. However for big flicks like this it can be quite energizing to watch the theatre fill up to full capacity and enjoy with a collective audience.
Saturday was a day of leisure. We had discussed the possibility of taking the girls to the Bowmanville Santa Claus Parade but had stipulated that if it was raining we would change plans. Lucky for me, it was raining and I was left to slumber the cold rainy morning away. I awoke to join my family around 9:30. These early 5:00 work mornings are tiring me out. I am very lucky that my family recognizes this and lets me sleep in on weekends. Saturday morning was spent cleaning up the playroom. I mean major overhaul.
Saturday afternoon was spent listening to Christmas Music via Star 102.5, drinking yummy hot chocolate and decorating the house and tree with my girls and their friends.
Saturday evening, I watched, "Good Luck Chuck" and for a girl that is not usually fond of comedies I laughed quite a bit. The scene stealer was Dan Folger.
Sunday, Alley and I went out to the local Dollarama as she wanted to get her sister and father a gift this year. She picked it out all on her own and Did quite well. (No Mom, I did not influence her choice...ha,ha,ha.)
We spent the decorating Gingerbread cookies and watching a cute family flick featuring Abigail Breslin, called "Kit Kittredge: An American Girl ."
Tonight I get to cap off my weekend by going to Toronto for my 2 year MRI. Think of me and wish me well.

The Top 10 Craziest Science Stuff You Didn't Know
A chicken can be hypnotized, or put into a trance by holding its head down against the ground, and continuously drawing a line along the ground with a stick or a finger, starting at its beak and extending straight outward in front of the chicken.
If the chicken is hypnotized in this manner, it will remain immobile for somewhere between 15 seconds to 30 minutes, continuing to stare at the line.
You can have an erection once dead
A death erection (sometimes referred to as “angel lust”) is a post-mortem erection which occurs when a male individual dies vertically or face-down – the cadaver remaining in this position. During life, the pumping of blood by the heart ensures a relatively even distribution around the blood vessels of the human body. Once this mechanism has ended, only the force of gravity acts upon the blood. As with any mass, the blood settles at the lowest point of the body and causes edema or swelling to occur; the discoloration caused by this is called lividity.
Sorry, no photo for this one!
Your hand can have a life of it’s own
Alien hand syndrome (or Dr. Strangelove syndrome) is an unusual neurological disorder in which one of the sufferer’s hands seems to take on a life of its own.
AHS is best documented in cases where a person has had the two hemispheres of their brain surgically separated, a procedure sometimes used to relieve the symptoms of extreme cases of epilepsy. It also occurs in some cases after other brain surgery, strokes, or infections. The HAND is after you!
Don’t laugh too much, it can kill you
Fatal hilarity is death as a result of laughter. In the third century B.C. the Greek philosopher Chrysippus died of laughter after seeing a donkey eating figs (hey, it wasn’t THAT funny).
On 24 March 1975 Alex Mitchell, a 50-year-old bricklayer from King’s Lynn, England, literally died laughing while watching an episode of The Goodies. According to his wife, who was a witness, Mitchell was unable to stop laughing whilst watching a sketch in the episode “Kung Fu Kapers” in which Tim Brooke-Taylor, dressed as a kilted Scotsman, used a set of bagpipes to defend himself from a psychopathic black pudding in a demonstration of the Scottish martial art of “Hoots-Toot-ochaye”. After twenty-five minutes of continuous laughter Mitchell finally slumped on the sofa and expired from heart failure. His widow later sent the Goodies a letter thanking them for making Mitchell’s final moments so pleasant.
A weapon could make you Gay
Gay bomb is an informal name for a potential non-lethal chemical weapon, which a U.S. Air Force research laboratory speculated about producing.
In one sentence of the document it was suggested that a strong aphrodisiac could be dropped on enemy troops, ideally one which would also cause “homosexual behaviour”. So that’s how they got Saddam!
It’s true, Men can breastfeed
The phenomenon of male lactation in humans has become more common in recent years due to the use of medications that stimulate a human male’s mammary glands.
Male lactation is most commonly caused by hormonal treatments given to men suffering from prostate cancer. It is also possible for males (and females) to induce lactation through constant massage and simulated ’sucking’ of the nipple over a long period of time (months).
Bart Simpson’s Tomacco ( Half Tomato Half Tobacco) was possible
A tomacco is originally a fictional hybrid fruit that is half tomato and half tobacco, from the 1999 episode “E-I-E-I-(Annoyed Grunt)” of The Simpsons; the method used to create the tomacco in the episode is fictional.
The tomacco became real when it was allegedly produced in 2003. Inspired by The Simpsons, Rob Baur of Lake Oswego, Oregon successfully grafted a tomato plant onto the roots of a tobacco plant, which was possible because both plants come from the same family.
It’s OK to have a third nipple
A supernumerary nipple (also known as a third nipple) is an additional nipple occurring in mammals including humans. Often mistaken for moles, supernumerary nipples are diagnosed at a rate of 2% in females, less in males. The nipples appear along the two vertical “milk lines” which start in the armpit on each side, run down through the typical nipples and end at the groin. They are classified into eight levels of completeness from a simple patch of hair to a milk-bearing breast in miniature.
You can die on the Toilet
There are many toilet-related injuries and some toilet-related deaths throughout history and in urban legends.
In young boys, one of the most common causes of genital injury is when the toilet seat falls down while using the toilet.
George II of Great Britain died on the toilet on 25 October 1760 from an aortic dissection. According to Horace Walpole’s memoirs, King George “rose as usual at six, and drank his chocolate; for all his actions were invariably methodic. A quarter after seven he went into a little closet. His German valet de chambre in waiting heard a noise, and running in, found the King dead on the floor.”
Picking one’s nose and eating it might be healthy
Mucophagy (literally mucus-eating, also referred as picking one’s nose and eating it) is the consumption of the nasal mucus, boogers, and other detritus obtained from nose-picking.
Some research suggests that mucophagy may be a natural and even healthy activity, which exposes the digestive system to bacteria accumulated in the mucus, thereby helping to strengthen the immune system.

Song Of The Day: You Were On My Mind By We Five
This tune was written by Sylvia Tyson of the Canadian folk duo Ian & Sylvia.
Song Of The Day: Sloop John B By The Beach Boys
This tune was originally a traditional West Indies folk song. Apparently the John B. was an old sponger boat whose crew were in the habit of getting notoriously merry whenever they made port. It was wrecked and sunk at Governor's Harbour in Eleuthera, the Bahamas, in about 1900. This song in todays present culture is occasionally the chanted at Football and Cricket grounds, such as Manchester United fans. The song recently caused controversy in Scotland when fans of Glasgow Rangers sang the tune of this song with lyrics relating to the Irish potato famine during a match. Dubbed "The Famine Song" it includes the lyrics "the famine is over why don't you go home."

Remembrance Day
Each November, over thirteen million poppies are worn on the on the jackets, dresses and hats of nearly half the Canadian population. The poppy is the symbol that individuals use to show that they remember those who were killed in the wars and peace keeping operations that Canada has been involved in.
The poem "Flanders Fields" written by Lieutenant-Colonel McCrae speaks to us about the fear of the dead....... that they will be forgotten and that their death will have been in vain. The poppy is an ongoing symbol of Remembrance.
In Flanders Fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe,
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch, be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Weekend Recap
Friday evening after work I did some grocery shopping and lounged around doing nothing too productive. It was wonderful. Saturday, was spent reading my latest bookclub read and then settling down to watch American Gangster. It was a great flick. We watched the extended 3 hour version and I loved every 180 minutes of it.
Saturday night I went out for some fun and frolic to a house party at one of my workmates and this transitioned into a jaunt to the local pub for even more boisterous fun and frolic.
The highlight of my night was when I got asked for some ID by the bouncer. As I shared this story with Garth and the girls today, Brooke humbled me by saying, "someone probably felt sorry for you and called ahead and said there is a blonde lady with an afro coming shortly....make her feel good and check her ID."
Sunday was redemption time and I decided I needed to spend some quality moments with my family. We took the girls ice skating at the local arena and then out for dinner.
