We all know Ozzy's a prankster. Granted...some of the pranks he's pulled are really sick such as biting the head off of a dove. That's pretty sick but sweet at the same time. Here's Ozzy with a prank that I'd put under the "cute" category. He's at a wax museum and pretends to be apart of the exhibit.
EXPLICIT LANGUAGE WARNING!

I thought this was a really cool piece so I've decided to share it with you. You never think guys like Lars had to look up to anyone because they've always been "the man". Well, he really looked up to Dio who just passed away this past Sunday. Tune in on Saturday for our tribute to Ronnie at 7.
A Letter to Ronnie
Dear Ronnie,
I just got off stage in Zagreb. I was met with the news that you've passed on. I'm kind of in shock, but I wanted you to know that you were one of the main reasons I made it onto that stage to begin with. When I first saw you in Elf, opening for Deep Purple in 1975, I was completely blown away by the power in your voice, your presence on stage, your confidence, and the ease with which you seemed to connect to 6000 Danish people and one starry-eyed 11 year old, most of whom were not familiar with Elf's music. The following year, I was so psyched when I heard the results of you joining forces with my favorite guitar player. You guys sounded so right for each other and I instantly became Rainbow's #1 fan in Denmark. In the fall of 1976, when you played your first show in Copenhagen, I was literally in the front row and the couple of times we made eye contact you made me feel like the most important person in the world. The news that you guys were staying in town on your day off somehow embedded itself in my brain and I made the pilgrimage to the Plaza Hotel to see if I could somehow grab a picture, an autograph, a moment, anything. A few hours later you came out and were so kind and caring... pictures, autographs and a couple minutes of casual banter. I was on top of the world, inspired and ready for anything. Rainbow came to Copenhagen a couple more times over the next few years and each time you guys blew my mind, and for a good three years were my absolute favorite band on this planet. Over the years I've been fortunate enough to run into you a half dozen times or so and each time you were as kind, caring and gracious as you were in 1976 outside the hotel. When we finally got a chance to play together in Austria in 2007, even though I may not have let on, I was literally transformed back to that little snot nosed kid who you met and inspired 31 years earlier and it was such a fucking honor and a dream come true to share a stage with you and the rest of the legends in Heaven and Hell. A couple of weeks ago when I heard that you were not going to be able to make it to the Sonisphere shows that we would be sharing this June, I wanted to call you and let you know that I was thinking of you and wish you well, but I kind of pussied out, thinking the last thing you needed in your recovery was feeling obligated to take a phone call from a Danish drummer/fan boy. I wish I'd made that call. We will miss you immensely on the dates, and we will be thinking of you with great admiration and affection during that run. It seemed so right to have you out on tour with the so-called “Big Four” since you obviously were one of the main reasons that the four bands even exist. Your ears will definitely be burning during those two weeks because all of us will be talking, reminiscing and sharing stories about how knowing you has made our lives that much better.
Ronnie, your voice impacted and empowered me, your music inspired and influenced me, and your kindness touched and moved me. Thank you.
Much love,
Lars

There's always sort of been a rule in sports that everyone follows but no one really knows about. If you get hit in the junk, do not clutch at the jewels. It's just not good for TV. Sami Salo broke this rule in Vancouver's hockey game with Chicago last night but he did have a good reason. He suffered a ruptured testicle from a slapshot.

The relatively new phenomenon of streaking is awesome. I think it's hilarious! The security people at the various sporting events sure don't find it funny and they've been trying to come up with ways to stop it. They sure found a way to stop it in Philadelphia...TASER!

It finally happened. One of the most anticipated reunions in rock took place on April 16th and Soundgarden posted one of the songs on YouTube. Check it out!
The original line-up will be playing later this year at the annual Lollapalooza festival. Who else is hoping these guys do a world tour?!

Mr. Ovechkin is the centre of controversy all over again. Here's why:
Is he a bad guy for spraying the poor little kid or was it all in good fun?
I'm honestly having trouble deciding because I can't stop laughing at the video. It's so funny! Let's face it...the kid didn't get hurt from some snow. I can admit that the incident added a whole lot more to the "hate" factor in this playoff series.

It's really sad. I'm still in the itchy stage and the Devils are down 3-1 in the series to the Philadelphia Flyers. I still have confidence that they can come back but they can make no more mistakes. The quality of my beard is solely on the back of that team!

The week of April 18th-24th is Administrative Professionals Week and April 21st is the biggest day of celebration. It is kind of hard to define what an "administrative professional" is because their duties are so widespread. They do everything! We're going to thank you for all that you do by having a contest specially designed for you.
Wednesday morning at 9:00 AM, Chris will read an exerpt from a cheesy romance novel. As you hear it, type it up with proper punctuation and spelling and send it to cgill@newcap.ca to win yourself a prize.
Good luck and thank you for all your hard work!

Do not leave cookie sheets on the burner!
There's the damage I did. I was stupid (as always) and turned on the wrong burner, the one that had this cookie sheet on it. Smoke was bellowing off of it and it set off my smoke alarm. Thankfully I and nothing else got hurt.

A playoff tradition that I like to take part in is growing a beard until my team gets knocked out of the playoffs. Sometimes you get a pretty good beard going cheering for a team like the New Jersey Devils. As I've gotten older, more rules have been put in place for me. Some workplaces don't like beards, some women don't like the beards and that's my number one problem. Here is my progress so far but it's all subject to change if certain women in my life make me shave.
Notice the chin hair. That's a goatee. Not a full playoff beard. If the Devils make it deep this year, it will fill out the playoff beard. Updates will be posted every week!

Today's a great day to be alive, isn't it? It's an even better day to be a rainy one. We need all the excuses we can get to sit on the couch and watch playoff hockey all night.
I'm a New Jersey Devils fan and I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the first round is going to be a piece of cake. Philadelphia Flyers? Pfft. You better pick them in this pool.
If you love hockey, why not just pick who you think is going to win so you can win some sweet prizes? You can win numerous gift certificates to Game-On Sports and the grand prize is AWESOME. A Bud Light beer fridge stocked with Bud Light. It doesn't get much better than that.
By the way, if you entered for the regular season pool, the same log-in information will work!

I guess Tiger's new strategy to earn the public's respect back is to humiliate himself.
It's certainly a hard-hitting commercial. In case you didn't know, the man lecturing Tiger is his deceased father. Is he humiliating himself with this commercial or is he somehow using his father's inspiration to help him on the course? What do you think?

These guys are always packin' if you know what I mean. It's been proven with Gilbert Arenas going to court after bringing firearms to the arena. Would you really want to pull a prank on one of these guys?
A ball boy for the Denver Nuggets had the guts to! Last week I posted a video of someone buttering a floor but the ball boy actually filled Kenyon Martin's Range Rover with buttered popcorn. I think it's a pretty good one!
Martin sure didn't appreciate it though. Here's what he had to say on the ordeal:
""That ain't no [expletive] joke," Martin said. "I'm going to find out who did it ... put my [expletive] hands on one of y'all. I'm going to put my hands on whoever did it. You better believe that. It's [expletive] personal. You better believe it."
He also threatened that he would skip the playoffs if no one owned up to it. The ball boy ended up admitting he did it to one of the owners of the Denver Nuggets and everything is fine now.
Why is it that hockey is considered such a barbaric sport? It may be on the ice but off of it all the players seem to be pretty good natured. Maybe it's because the sport's dominated by Canadians and we know how to take a joke.

In honour of April Fool's Day, here's one of my favourites! Explicit language warning! He only says what you'd say if the same thing happened to you though...
