Resignation

On a more serious note, now that the moustache contest is over, I will return to trying to write about some more serious issues here.
I don't know what however.
Things are going to change a whole lot in my world in the next few weeks. I handed in my letter of resignation from NewsTalk on Friday.
It was the first time I had to do that too, but it couldn't have gone any better. I ended up yapping with the boss about hockey cards for half an hour.
But he says good luck, and if he can help out in any way he'd be happy to. So I couldn't ask for much more from them.
I decided it was just not getting any better here, and I really want to be back in Sunny Alberta. I gave it a good shot here, and I got some of that ever-important experience in.
So I should be fine with this, and I Will shake things up a bit and send everything into chaos.
I can't wait, and I am ready to have a beer with my old friends.
Very exciting.

Finals in Moustache-O-Rama 2007


Well, alas, the moustache is gone.
I was starting to enjoy it actually, with nice thick handlebars. But when it came time to go down for the final judging on Superbowl Sunday, I decided it was a moustache contest and I should leave nothing but the hair on the upper lip.
Oh my, what a terrible look. But it was fun for an afternoon, and I was told by the judges my decision to rid myself of the hadles cost me the win.
So I didn't have the best or the worst. There were awards for that too.
But we had some fun doing it, and I hope they can pick it up again next year.
Here's what I looked like when I went to the final. I'll link to the pics on the rick site when it's up.

Super Sunday

We are only a few days away from the final judging, and if I were betting, I think I'd take the $40 prize and the trophy home for the moustache contest. If you care to see the contestants you can go to the photo gallery on the follwing site - www.rock102rocks.com and check 'em out.
And to be totally honest, it can't come soon enough. The moustache prickles my nose and I can catch it out of the corner of my eye when I am eating and it just is creepy.
But the competition isn't exactly looking stellar either.
There will be pics of us with the Bud Girl judges at the Super Bowl party, so I'll be sure to put them up here on Sunday. Until then, all there is left to do is keep growing.

On another note, the Oilers seem to be heating up. We are about an hour away from a big battle against Vancouver. A win would go a long way right now I'd say.
So if all goes well, those alien baby twins on the 'Nucks will both come down with the flu and the Oilers can walk all over the Canucks. I can't think of a team I like less that Vancouver either for some reason.
You'd think it would be the Battle of Alberta, but there's just something about Van I don't like.
But I know you have better things to do than read this so off I go.
