Joe Jobs

Have you ever thought about quitting your job and just getting a "Joe Job"? The definition of a JJ is a no-brainer job that you would love to do instead of the work you are doing now.

My work-husband's wife (Mai) says she would love to work at Blockbuster. Just ringin' up people - handing them their movie - then sending them out the door.

My JJ is delivering flowers...who doesn't love getting flowers? You knock on the door, hand someone some beautiful flowers, get the "OMG - they are gorgeous!!!" then leave. And just like that, you've made someone's day...isn't that a great thought? If only it paid $100k a year...

My next secret JJ is this - doing the Bumper Music for the Silvertips Game. If any of you have connections - this would make a great gift for the 7th day of Laurakah this year (mark your calendars 2/7/09).

Here's the changes I would make to the music played at the Tips' games:

1) No more "Kung Fu Fightin'" - that song was stupid when it came out - it's stupid now.
2) No more "Cotton Eye'd Joe" - we live in the freakin' Northwest, not the South...
3) I'm bringin' back the MACARENA...yeah, deal with it.
4) More AC/DC
5) Instead of "Kiss Me" for the Kissing Contest, it's gonna be "I Kissed A Girl" from Katy Perry - I'm turning Comcast Arena into a big ol' lesbian fest. The guys will love it!
6) Funny clips from cartoons - "Zoiks" and "Rah Roh Raggy" are funny fillers when the ref bites it or the other team does something stupid.
7) No more "Put Your Hands Up in the Air"...whoever made that song has made enough damn money for the stupidest song ever written.
8) I would dedicate "Hit the Road, Jack" to the Foghorns at least once every game.
9) I would play the "Head On, Apply Directly to the Forehead" commercial clip when a player gets a sweet check put on them (the other team, of course).
10) I would play more 80's music...we all know it - we all love it.

So, those are my JJ choices - what are yours??

Hockey Weekend Recap!

Hey fans! It's been a while. I didn't realize my readership was jonesin' for some bloggin', so I solemnly promise to post often!

Ok, so I'm having a hockey hangover. Randy and I went to 8 games, a rookie scrimmage and a team scrimmage...the days kinda run together, but let's see what I remember...

Scrimmages:

Seriously, Kyle Beach starting a fight with Jordan Mistelbacher in a scrimmage game? Who does that crap? I'm sure no coach has ever said "Hey, if you get pissed off, knock the crap out of your team mate". Urgh...I REALLY hope he learns to shut up (maybe when he does he can teach me a thing or two???)

Friday Night:

SO good to get the gang back together...KIRO Dave brought an adorable date (his daughter) and everyone (except Hockey Tom who is at a International Doilie Convention in Denmark) and Bill and Tina (who were visiting with family) showed up. It was a good game - nice to see a different team take the ice and play hard, but we lost...although that didn't stop the crew from giving me a ration of crap!

Saturday Night:

Dinner at the Flying Leo for Barb's "Best Becanic Bag" award presentation, but Leo couldn't be bothered to show up...hmmmm...wonder if he was busy hanging out with his BFF Mucha from Portland....but the best part was Albie's toast to me for "Getting Rid of the Foghorns"!!! Let's list the top 3 things that are good about that...

1. No more off-key renditions of the Canadian and US National Anthems.

2. No more random and idiotic remarks about the Section 119 crew.

3. No more looking up the shorts of a fat slob who appearently can't afford underwear!

Wow - was Section 119 in rare form that night or what? Leo and KIRO Dave started heckling the T-Birds goalie (Pickard)...little did they know that Pickard's big brother was in our section...when the period ended, Big Brother came over and told the boys to leave his lil' brother alone - BIG MISTAKE. That only encouraged our group...as if they hadn't chased off enough of my day friends...(BIG shout out to Deb and Deb and Kimmie - LOVED LOVED LOVED hanging out with you guys!!!)

The Tips looked good - and it was nice to score so many goals to shut those damn T-Chicks fans up!!!

Sunday:

The posse was back together - sans Leo, Barb, Albie and the Dickson's...so my buddy James decided it was his turn to give me some crap....

Tips looked awesome but totally fell apart during the 3rd period...totally fell apart.

The good news? Holy Hot Chilliwack Coach, Batman...

I'm SOOO ready for hockey season!!! I'm still trying to get my cub reporter Randy to get me the scoop on why Mistelbacher and Kieffer are gone (how bad does that suck? I have Kieffer's jersey - or should I say "He has MY number"??? Stay tuned for breaking news...

In Summary:

1. Foghorns are gone.
2. Leo is funny without his better half, Tom.
3. Barb rocks - the jury is still out on Albie.
4. Kim and James are the best.
5. KIRO Dave still has the best heckles.
6. Mistelbacher and Kieffer are gone.
7. Kyle Beach looks good but needs to learn to shut up.
8. Chilliwack's Coach is hot.
9. I reconnected with some Sno. County buddies.
10. I had a great weekend!!!
