News banter

One thing that annoys me is news anchor banter to fill up the dead air at the end of a broadcast. Actually, I find it funny, especially if you watch it while thinking that the anchors hate eachother, but are forced to be nice on camera.

Anyway, last night, we caught the end of the CBC Edmonton news, and their feel-good story was about some people in Sweeden who made a life-size statue of Jesus out of Lego. At the end of the story, one of the anchors says "I'm sure that Jesus would love it".

I almost fell out of bed laughing....

On that vein, I wasted some time on youtube today watching news bloopers. Here are two of my favourites:

Some random thoughts

Just a quick post with some random things that have been bouncing in my head, but don't warrant a full post each.

1) I like our new iron, but only because it occasionally makes a noise like the smoke monster on Lost.

2) When you let the snowmen in your front yard melt, you don't have to clean up the carrots, but you do have to deal with rabbit poo.

3) How does Swiper the Fox snap his fingers so well while wearing gloves?

4) Dora thinks a funny face is just putting your hands on your cheeks.... lame. But it was enough the make the grumpy old troll (or trumpy old troll in our house) laugh.

P.S. can you guess what we watched at our house tonight?
