Viral Video: Friday Roundup

Ooops.

Two blogs in a row talking about the Calgary Flames, this one is unintentional it just happened to pop up on my Twitter feed and I thought I would reflect on it. At the Flames game on Saturday night my boyfriend and I dished about which player we would not like to meet in a fight. We talk about random things all the time, this was not as odd to us as it may seem to you; his answer? Jiri Hudler.

Now, I have no desire to fight anyone. I am as soft as a marshmallow. So my answer was that any of them would beat me. Now, I am not sure the same could be said about basketball. I am pretty bad but Mr. Hudler takes it to a new level in this viral video from NBC Sportsnet. The Lakers and the Flames are both visitingPhilly and have to share the venue, as the 700 level details in this article.

Hockey gear is like second skin to anyone who plays the game, so I am not accepting that his gear made him that much worse than he would have been without it. My favourite part was the high-five, Jiri don’t care… I think he’d even high-five Tom Brady if he was around.

On second thought, I would not want to fight or play anyone in basketball. One v. one, I would get wrecked. I am horrible at both things. Especially when I get laughing, onto the next viral video from the Toronto Zoo; it is adorable.

I am a sucka. I love this panda’s response to the snow. It was the icing on the cake of my Friday. Jenny Fines and I both had a giggle and “awwweeee” moment when this popped up on our screen today.

There you are… two fresh viral videos and one not so fresh video of Tom Brady that is still good for a laugh.

Oh, almost forgot the latest round of Jimmy Kimmel's 'Celebrities Read Mean Tweets', it is not as funny as some of the others but it is still worth a watch! 

Happy Friday!

Jimmy Kimmel Shocks with 'Greetings From Sunny LA'

I’ll take being fully clothed with a little snow around. I feel weirdly bad for these people who really just wanted to wish us the best from warm, sunny LA; mixing bare skin and snow anywhere is a shock to your system wherever you are.

Although, a full vacation from the snow would be nice! This morning I parked in a different spot in Trail and had to dig myself out, get the car to street parking and then change my outfit because I was so snowy. Sometimes I really miss being a kid, decked out in a snow suit; ready for anything winter could bring. I do not miss forcing my body into a snow suit and that weird sweaty phase between getting the layers on and actually being outside.

One last thing I don’t miss about childhood winters, the smell of wet mittens.

There you have it, my thought process in a blog post:

LA-> Late Night TV sketch-> Snowballs -> Vacation-> Winter Worries -> Wishing for Childhood -> Being Thankful to Be an Adult

The circle seems complete.

Jimmy Kimmel's Halloween Candy Challenge

Jimmy Kimmel puts new meaning in the phrase taking candy from a baby… in his annual Halloween prank he has easily convinced the parents who watch his show to mess with their children by telling their kids that they have eaten all of their spoils from Halloween. I love this video; I always tried to maintain my candy stock as a child by giving my parents all the candy I didn't like and then some of their favourites. Every year as soon as we got home we would dump our bags and trade candy until there was only non-name brand candy and Oh Henry bars left. This video has gone viral for good reason today, it is so funny. 

Thank goodness my parents never did this to me!

This Just Made My Day... Thanks Jimmy Kimmel

Some days (like today) you just need something to pick you up. A little midday laugh while you sit at your desk watching the minutes turn into hours of doing the same mundane task.

That’s not what my day is normally like, but today I have felt a little robotic doing the things I normally love. It in large part as to do with eating an ice-cream sandwich with a side of penny candy yesterday for lunch (at 5:30pm) and yes, I am still uppity about that (I am a walking, talking example of why proper nutrition is key to being mentally stable).

Anyways, Jimmy Kimmel is not even close to being my favourite comedian (usually I find my daily conversations with my mother more entertaining than him) and I am still angry that his long-ass interview with Kanye last night bumped my favourite band right now, The Arctic Monkeys, from the live run of his show. But, this sketch of musicians reading hate tweets directed at them from average people made my day, tears were shed over this sketch at my desk; thank you Mr.Kimmel.

Lil Wayne has to be my favourite read, although John Legend, Darius Rucker, Zac Brown Band and the Back Street Boys are also at the top of my list. I would love to see the outtakes from this sketch, most of these musicians really delivered!
