Odds and ends.



That one guy said "I almost died out there." Then some other guy said "pretend it ain't like a 50 foot drop". I would not do this not even for lots of money. I really grown accustom to this living thing. Though when they sat on the deck that would be fun.

Ok, so this one is in German but it is still cool.





And lastly a moment of silence please for the Hockey Night in Canada theme song.

Ok, that was long enough. So work on the street is that as of last nights Red Wings win over the Penguins we here in Canada will no longer be hearing that theme song of Canada. The one we all know and love and brings a flood of child hood memories when we here it.

Word has it that CBC is not renewing there license to use the song. It had till now cost the company about $500 each use. You may thing that sounds like a lot but just think that one ad during that game has that covered and they still would make money. So it really is not that much. Though I bet the lady, Dolores Claman, who wrote the song back in 1968 does not see that much of the money. Copyright Music & Visuals probably got the bulk of it.

No word yet from CBC but I think it has to do with the lawsuit that Dolores filed agant them in late 2004, that is still unsettedled. I guess we will see what song they will use next year soon enough.
