THE OLYMPIC TORCH RELAY

Things kicked off just after 11am at the Legislature and continued through downtown Victoria.  The flame is off and run… uh, walking?

TIME CHANGE WEEKEND

Don’t forget to FALL IT BACK an hour on Saturday night or all your gd clocks will be wrong on Sunday morning.  Hello Darkness!

DANNY: INTERN, TORCHBEARER

Danny kicked off his own “relay” (walk) with his “torch” (flashlight) at Mile Zero this morning - the Olympic “cauldron” (scented candle) was lit outside the Olympic headquarters on Broad St. (Kool studios.)  Go Canada!

ROBIN AND BRIAN’S GETAWAY #1: U2 AND THE BLACK EYED PEAS

With  50,000 people packed into BC Place and a giant spider stage, how could it NOT be a great show?  Our Getaway winner Taelor Barwis said she liked the Black Eyed Peas more than U2.  We told her that one day she’ll tell the kids “I remember old school bands from back in the day like the Black Eyed Peas… I saw them LIVE!”

MOST COMMONLY STOLEN HOTEL ITEM?

We’re staying at the Listel Hotel in Vancouver for Robin & Brian’s Getaway – what’s the #1 thing Robin is most likely to steal from the room?  GUESSES: Towels?  Blow dryer?  Remote Control?  Bible?  ANSWER: Face cloth.  Because you most definitely want to rub something on your face that has previously been rubbed on hundreds of other people’s faces.

HALLOWEEN WEEK: HOT COSTUMES

If you don’t have a costume yet don’t fly into a panic or start pinning junk to your sweater to go as a “yard sale” - try one of these suggestions from Terena at Value Village:

1) Sexy Vampire  2)  Pirate family  3) Band of Superheroes  4) Retro aka 70’s pimp  5) Balloon Boy!

FERGIE OR BUST

Tomorrow morning we’ll have all the highlights from the Black Eyed Peas and U2 at BC Place!  God, I hope someone pees their pants.

HALLOWEEN WEEK: BEST AND WORST CANDY

BEST: Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Mini Coffee Crisp, “Nature” flavour chips  WORST: Raisins, Chiclets, Toothbrush, Apple with razor blades.  UNDECIDED: Molasses Kisses – Brian loves them, Robin hates them.  Don’t lose a tooth.

“SEXTING” – HOT OR COMPLETELY LAME?

Sexting is sexy texting.  It doesn’t mean you have to send people pictures of your junk – you might just want to say something romantic about the other person, or give them a hint as to what you have in mind for later that night.  Is it hot, or a lame way of getting in the mood?  The Kool Morning poll results are in, and it’s HOT.  Robin has experience with this, Brian is unfortunately the slowest texter ever.  Does that qualify as foreplay?
