Survivor Cook Islands Episode 7: “A Closer Look”

Turns out tonights episode of Survivor Cook Islands wasn’t even a true blue episode. For whatever reason the folks over at CBS decided they would be better off running a recaps and never before seen footage episode instead of the usual back stabbing, fish eating, coconut milk drinking, battle to the death.

CBS branded tonights episode as a never before seen footage episode, but mostly recapped the past six episodes, adding in unseen footage here and there. So instead of boring everyone and writing about all the crap you can already find in old survivor recaps, I’ll highlight the unseen footage they decided to air.

Find out what you missed after the jump!

This has to be one of the weirdest stories I have read in a long time. The City of Richmond quite literally wants to get into Firefighters pants.

Apparently Richmonds firefighers are a tad on the neolithic side and have been under some scrutiny as a result of allegations of sexual harassment coming from female firefighters. In the hopes of curbing any sexual harassment allegations, the City of Richmond has decided to waste $16,000 of tax payers money to buy 6 pairs of new boxer-style underwear for all of its firefighters.

How is this going to curb sexual harassment allegations you ask? Why it will make the firehalls more gender neutral of course! Yeah… right. Those must be some pretty fancy boxers to make a firehall gender neutral. I watch Rescue Me, I know what firehalls are like, and no underwear, no matter how fancy, can make that kind of place gender neutral.

“We supply firefighters with various pieces of gear such as gloves, now it’s underwear,” city official Ted Townsend told the Vancouver Sun, saying it was part of the “integration of the sexes in the workplace.”

I’m sorry, but I’m still just not getting it. How the hell are making firefighters wear boxers going to make the firehall any more of less gender neutral? Excuse my stupidity, but I’m just not seeing it.

Firefighters strip off most of their clothes in order to don protective gear when responding to fire alarms, although Townsend said the city is considering buying gear that can be put on over regular uniforms.

Have you ever tried to put any kind of protective gear or suit on over top of regular clothes? It doesn’t work very well and it’s uncomfortable as hell. You always get one pant leg and one shirt arm that rolls up funny and gets super annoying.

Personally, I could think of better things to spend $16,000 of the tax payers money on. To bad Richmond can’t seem to figure that out.

Rumour has it, the anti-christ superstar himself, Mr. Marilyn Manson, has been approached by Fox to play Frank N. Furter in the upcoming remake of the 70’s cult classic, the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

There are two things that came as a big shock to me when I read about this:

I came across this when browing through Defamer and couldn’t help but bust a gut laughing. I sent it around to a bunch of people at work as well and everyone got a kick out of it.

I can’t tell for sure if its a photoshop or the real thing, but its funny either way. The only thing that leads me to suspect photoshop is the slightly wonky “Rapist Search” text under the mugshot, but who knows, that could just be the TV stations formating.

I almost feel sorry for this guy, but not enough to not find it funny. Can you spot the similarities?

Biggest Loser Episode 6

I missed the first bit of Biggest Loser this week because I was talking to my wife, since she’s still in Nebraska, so I didn’t get to take any notes; however, I did watch the show and can give a pretty good point by point break down of what happened off the top of my head. Ream more after the jump.

Cruising eBay can lead a person to stumble across pretty interesting things sometimes. Surfing through blogs can have the same effect, only a lot strong, since they’re not regulated like eBay is. But when you combine the two, that my friends, that is when you come across the best stuff.

I forget which blog it was that I was stumbling through at some point today, but I came across waht has to be the height of redneck fashion and, sadly, I want it!

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the glamerous world of Redneck high fashion. Some people might call it stupid, some people might call it ugly, rednecks, we… um, I mean THEY… they call it recycling.The Redneck man needs a good hat to keep the rain from messin’ with his mullet, and now every redneck has one hell of a decision to make: Coors, Coors Light, Keystone Light, Miller, Miller High Life, Miller Lite or Millwaukee’s Best?

Anyway you look at it, you’re still a redneck and you’re still rocking a sexy beer box cowboy hat. But hey, whenever a hippy gives you a hard time for being to creating to much garbage or polluting the air with your broke ass late 70’s Ford truck that’s more rust than truck, you can smile, point to your hat and speak those two words a redneck would never see himself saying: “I recycle!”

Get your very own redneck beer box cowboy hat @ eBay!

This entertaining little ditty came from a co-worker and I got a real kick out of it, so now I get to share it all with you. This is exactly why you DO NOT mess with grandmas. They’re old, have lots of free time and can be wicked when it comes to revengs, I love it!

Through-out my day at work and at home I spend a whole lot of time reading blogs. There are a lot of blogs that I like, but not a great deal that I’m willing to look at serveral times a day; however, one of the blogs that I am willing to check and do check multiple times a day is the consumerist.

The consumerist is ran by two guys that are snarky, witty and fun. Not only is the blog a good read, the guys that run it are out to save everyone a buck and to spread awareness of crappy business practices that so many of todays business’ like to follow. The talk about little known ways to save money, how to deal with certain companys and how to get the best bang for your buck, they even help out people that have been screwed over by companies by sharing their stories and trying to get the company to fix what they’ve screwed up. If you’ve never checked ou the consumerist, it’s certainly worth a read.

Todays how to save a buck and take advantage of Sprint tip comes compliments of the guys at the consumerist. Enjoy!

This sounds like a nifty HowTo on getting Sprint to give you a few extra bucks off your cellphone bill.

1. Call Sprint - 1-800-877-4646
2. Obey the opening instructions.
3. When the system asks, “How may I help you?,” say “dropped call.” The voice should confirm by saying, “Okay dropped call.”
4. Revel in the extra 50 cents or so Sprint gives you.

50 CENTS? Well, that’s for every time you say, “dropped call” until a rep comes on the phone. WikiHow users report an average savings of $11.00. If you abuse it, however, you get nothing, so spank Sprint with prudence.

A few weeks ago, before Chrys left for Nebraska, we took a trip to Granville Island to get a haircut and look around and we came across a fantastic new booth. We had never seen this booth in particular there before, so we had to stop and check it out, and it turned out that they were selling any and all forms of Bison you could think of.

The couple running the booth are the owners of the Hanson Bison Ranch in Valhalla Centre, Alberta, where they raise herds of these mamoth creatures.

Chrys and I, being big fans of Buffalo meat, had to pick up some Bison and give it a try, so we picked up a 6 pack of Bison hamburger patties, and let me tell you, they are some of the best damn hamburgers I have ever had. Plain and naked or as a cheese burger with all the fixin’s, these patties make for one heck of a burger. While we were there we also sampled the Bison pepperoni, which was to die for.

Since Bison is obviously a bit of a specialty item, the folks from the Hanson Bison Ranch charge a bit more than you would usually pay for the garden variety beef equivalent, but for meat of this quality and flavor, and born and raised naturally in Canada, its well worth the extra cost. Not to mention Bison is incredibly good for you. I never would have guessed it and we were both taken aback by the information, but Bison is such a lean meat that it has a substantially lower fat and calorie content than hamburger and a much higher amount of protein. Believe it or not, Bison meat has even less fat and calories than chicken! I couldn’t believe that a red meat could be so healthy.

One thing is for sure, I’ll certainly be heading back to Granville Island and the Hanson Bison Ranch to pick up some more Bison.

You can find the Hanson Bison Ranch booth in Granville Island next on October 27th, 28th or 29th from 9:00am - 7:00pm. Or you can order some Bison by visiting their website at: www.hansonbisonranch.com
