Miley Cyrus put on a great performance with Robin Thicke last night at the MTV awards.  She had such class and dignity out there.  I think she is on the road back to becoming a very respectable act that all parents should allow their kids to go see.  Sarcasm just dripped off of that last "e" if you look closely.

Story:  So I thought originally that my Ipod Classic had died.  I take into the Apple Store at Conostoga Mall.  Here's the conversation.

Me:  Can you have a look at my Ipod?  It's not powering whatsoever.
Dude:  Did you make an appointment with a genius?
Me:  An Apple Genius?  No, I didn't know that was required.
Dude:  Yes, you are supposed to see an Apple Genius.
Me:  Ok, can I make an appointment?
Dude:  You must call in.
Me:  I am right here, can't I just make an appointment now?
Dude:  Let me have a quick look at it.
(He attempts to reset it, which I had done one thousand times.)
Dude:  Drive is dead, you could get a refurbished one for $139.99.
Me:  Okay sounds good can I do that?
Dude:  You must make an appointment.
Me:  To purchase an Ipod?   I have the money right here, can't I just buy it?
Dude:  You need an appointment.
 
D Smith almost had an aneurysm.  I had to wander around the mall for a while to figure out what just happened.  It ended with some New York Fries and some ice cream.  This prevented the tears from flowing.

Have you ever seen a city so fired up for baseball? And have every hope and dream crushed by under achieving ball players, and a Manager that seems like he cares more about his pulled pork poutine more than his ball team.  Oh shucks John Gibbons, maybe you should put on some overalls, put some hay in your mouth and walk out to the hillside to have a look at the demolition derby off in the distance.

Lays had that contest of coming up with your own chip flavours.  Grilled Cheese with ketchup I think is the best.  There is a maple moose chip.  As you would expect it's terrible.

Currently reading a fantastic book called the Humans which is about an alien that comes down and possesses a body of a scientist that creates something that shouldn't have been created yet.  The alien has absolutely no knowledge about humans.  It's pretty humorous some of the situations that he gets in.

Top 3 things that lost their flavour very quickly.

3 - Borat
2 - Bud Light (wassssup commmercials)
1 - Big League Chew

I had somebody say wassssupp to me recently.  They realized what they did was wrong, and quickly apologized.  This is the proper course of action for using this line.

Had a customer comment on a song that was on my Ipod at the store recently.  He wanted to know what the song was and if he could buy it from us.  I went into how the band started, and all the albums they had out, and that I had seen them live just recently.  He had to reiterate that he just wanted to know the song and if he could get the album.  Junip - In the Line of Fire was the song.  Oh it just made my day.

I would have a very hard time dealing with a bird flying into my home.  I think that it would just have me moving out and living somewhere else.

Improv seems very difficult to me.  Had a dream last night that I was attempting it, and it was still difficult for me even though I controlled everyone's reactions.

Wearing a mask out and about will always put people on their toes being around you.

Fan Expo was this past weekend.  Rob Ford arm wrestled Hulk Hogan and won.  He then proclaimed that he owned Toronto.  The Hulkster should have ripped Rob Ford's arm out of his socket and beat him in the head with it.

NSYNC performed last night at the MTV Video Awards.  No real opinion on that, just thought that the female demographic that reads my blog would want to know about this.  It's right in their wheelhouse.

Let's have a poll.  Which big band that I remember from my teens will be the next to hit the Casino Circuit?  Weezer was my choice, but they just recently started on it.

Do you know what people in the customer service industry love?  For people to snap their fingers or whistle at them when they need help.  Really makes them want to help you out.  You will get the best possible customer service with this approach.  I wish I  had a bag of popcorn every time that this happened so I could just throw it off of their forehead.

One of the best headlines that I have ever seen in a National Enquirer.  "Man runs for Mayor of his town against himself."  He had two heads.
