BC Lions and Ryan's Birthday

Ryan was celebrating his b.day this weekend and the boys took him out to the Lions game. BC whooped the Ti-Cats 40-10 and it was a blast!

The Lions sell these horns at the game, but we have been ingeniously using them as horns AND beer bongs. Check out the clip

Also, Russell beer bought the rights to sell beer over Molson and Russell beer sucks, tastes horrible and they charge the same as Canadian was charging. Boo......Russell Beer

New Microsoft Commercial, 2nd Part

The 2nd in the series of MS ads with Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld got aired a few days ago.

Link here MS Ad

This is what I think.
The Mac commercials are horrible. They play down to a petty level where companies dig each other.
Much like the political farce in N. America, I don't need to see companies/individuals try to make themselves feel better by making someone else look bad.

Mac, I think, looks petty and not confident of it's abilities if it has to point out the flaws of other people to make itself look better.

The Mac commercials could easily have been as effective by portraying their ease of use without digging into Vista and MS.

My 2cents.

That said, I'm not quite sure what MS is trying to do with these ads. They are funny, but I haven't seen the larger picture yet, although they are creating buzz which is never a bad thing.

RedBull Soapbox race!

What a great event, the weather was super nice, sun was out and people were having a great time.

They closed off 4th from Yew to Burrard and let people with homemade soapbox race each other down the hill.

I am surprised that no one made a Flintstones-esqe soapbox.

Anyway, here is a clip from one of the race.

RCMP Taser 82 yr old man wielding knife in hospital

Well, I just don't know what to say. You think three people could take out an 82 yr old man wielding a knife...yeesh

Lululemon's April Fool's Joke

The "Mansey"
What a great piece of marketing to draw some laughs, giggles and maybe some retching as well!
As I was walking down 4th Ave on a nice sunny day, I cross the Lululemon store and see this full size poster of a guy with fire crotch in a red one piece and thong back. Definitely caught my eye!

Took some pics of the store displayer, as it is only an April Fools joke.

Google Mansy and you'll find a lot of people blogging about it.

Cheers!

What a cute dog!

We left our dog outside while we checked out a showroom and look what Dekker did because it was raining lightly.
It is good to have him back, he was feeling a little down because his stomach was feeling a little grumbly for awhile.
