Geez, Canada, like you really needed to encourage him. Let's see what Don Cherry has to say during Hockey Night.

I'm not sure why you'd want Jenny's phone number when you could buy Tommy Tutone's career for 10 bucks. Still, if you are the lucky winner of the number, you'd better get yourself a good answering machine to ward off all those curious callers.

Help wanted
Anyone in L.A. looking for a job? Maybe you'll like this one.

Gotta thank JD (happy 30th, BTW) for this article. I guess if he wanted to get back in the business, he could be an evil conductor, maybe have the inevitable roll of subway tokens as his secret weapon.

One bright spot to working the night shift is that there'll be nights (like tonight) where I'll get to see my favorite anchor muppet do the news. What's more fascinating is that Richard Quest either jars people in the middle of the night (when his regular show airs in the U.S.) or first thing in the morning (since his show is during European breakfast hour). Either way, you'd be scared to go to sleep since he'll find a way to infiltrate your REM cycles.

Here's your fantasy football
OK, so I only know of one person who watched the Lingerie Bowl, but somehow that's enough to form a league. That would mean L.A. would have no teams in the NFL, but entries in the Arena and Lingerie Leagues. At least they should have plenty of choices for players. I'd be interested to see who comes out for the Chicago team, though. And maybe we'll actually get nipples this time, especially if they're playing outside in Chicago or New York.

Further proof that anyone can be famous for little to no reason at all.

Dunk you very much
OK, so LeBron James won't be in the slam dunk contest. But what the hell is this guy doing there? This could have some humor value to it.

Embarrassment of niches
I'm both scared and intrigued that my cable digital music service now has blocks of '90s music on the Showcase channel. While each decade has plenty of disparate music that only shares a common timeframe, the '90s may have gone to the greatest extremes, especially among its biggest hits. And since radio got so specialized by the '90s, it's even more jarring to hear all these things at one. Within the time I was listening, I got some "superstar" artists of the decade (Pearl Jam, Nirvana, TLC, Notorious B.I.G, Mariah Carey), stuff stuck in the '90s but not bad (Fastball, Duncan Shiek, Savage Garden), and stuff from the early part of the '90s that you can hardly believe was part of the same decade (Londonbeat, Tara Kemp, Mr. Big, that Meat Loaf song). It will make for a freaky boxed set in a few years when Rhino decides to put one out: hmm, Ace of Base next to Soundgarden next to Whitney Houston next to Smashing Pumpkins next to Tupac.
But I leave it up to all of you. If you had to put together a CD that best covers the entire scope of popular/influential music '90s, what would be on it?
