You've got to make it scary."

The Rock sings?

Dwayne Johnson--aka The Rock--shows off his tenor tonsils on Kelly Clarskson's afternoon chat show. Think of it as a talking dog moment.
And it only lasts two minutes.

I can't believe I heard that
I stumbled across an hour
of CBC Radio bloopers,
featuring Gzowski, Frum,
Farr, Maitland, McLean
and several hapless
news readers and announcers.
An episode of Rewind,
Michael Enright's dig
thru the CBC archives,
it's pretty amusing.

World Series?
"For the first time since 1950, shortly after Jackie Robinson broke the MLB color barrier in 1947, not a single U.S.-born Black player is projected to play in this World Series. Black players made up 7.2% of this year's MLB opening day rosters — the lowest percentage in at least 30 years."

If you've never really seen a stunning display of the Northern Lights, check out the show at the 30 minute mark of the latest Lost Lakes trip.
If you want to see how Jonathan Kelly gets to that camp site on Lake Nipigon--the sixth Great Lake--his trip video runs about an hour.
The image and editing smarts of so many Canuck wilderness trip vets is astonishing.
Kevin Nealon takes a walk with Paul Rudd
Paul Rudd--"The Sexiest Man Alive"--exposes his p-touch fetish and fanny pack.
After two years' absence, Kevin Nealon's oddball random hikes return to Youtube.
Watch out for rabid chipmunks.
And the Container Store.

The Radio Show
Network:
Broadcast Run:
1983 to 1992
Jack Farr, aka Captain Radio, as host. As described by the CBC Radio Guide, “a wildly unpredictable program…portions of which its studiedly bombastic host insists are currently being pirated by a prestigious New York-based show.” Interviews with experts from politics, music, movies and sports made up the program.
Regular contributors included Danny Finkelman, Bill Casselman, Mary Ambrose and John Robertson. The program began Apr. 23, 1983 and ran until June 27, 1992. Producer, Jim Millican. Aired from 2 until 5 pm every Saturday on the network.
