Click here for a website that let's you know if you have any money from unclaimed bank balances...

Be warned!  You'll spend lots of time searching for friends and relatives who might have money coming to them.  My wife found two people she knows who have money they didn't even know about.  Unfortunatly I was not one of them.

Have a great weekend and Go Riders! 

The Miss Universe pagent was on this weekend.  For the second year in a row Miss America took a header on the catwalk...

Maybe this is a stupid question, but don't they train you how to walk at "Supermodel school"?  I'm just asking...

Craven's Big Valley Jamboree is in full swing!!! Yee Haw!!

These made me laugh...Here's a list of some of the "worst" Country song titles of all time:

I Hate Every Bone In Your Body Except Mine

I've Been Flushed From The Bathroom Of Your Heart

If My Nose Were Full Of Nickels, I'd Blow It All Over You

She Got The Gold Mine And I Got The Shaft

Velcro Arms, Teflon Heart

You're The Reason Our Kids Are So Ugly

Mama Get The Hammer (There's A Fly On Papa's Head)

Ah ha ha. Those crack me up.

Here's an oldie for ya: "How many country music songwriters does it take to change a lightbulb?"
"Six. One to put in the new bulb, and five to write about how much they miss the old one."

Sorry about that.

Have fun at Craven!

The annual Running Of The Bulls is underway in Pamplona, Spain.  Locals and tourists race through the streets of Pamplona chased by bulls.  Does this sound like a fun vacation to you?

Imagine going all the way to Spain and spending the majority of your holiday in the Pamplona emergency room.  Eight runs are scheduled - so far more than a dozen people have been injured - luckily none gored.  The Bull Run - "fun & exciting" or "terrifying and idiotic"?

Surprisingly the Bull Run did not make an online list of the world's most dangerous sports.   The list includes:

Trampoline - Over 100 thousand Americans are injured every year.  Gravity can be a bitch.

Street Luge -  It's not the 60 mph speed you worry about, it's the oncoming 2 ton truck!

Big Wave Surfing - Cowabunga, dude!  Dude?  Woah, that's gotta hurt, dude.

Basketball - Over half a million injuries in the U.S. last year.  Maybe there'd be less injuries if they quit dribbling all over the court.

Fishing - yes fishing.  In fact over 100 fishing related deaths occur every year making Fishing one of the deadliest sports in the world.  Who knew Bob Izumi was such a daredevil?

The Wil Smith superhero flick "Hancock" is out this weekend.  On Monday we're going to talk about superheroes and their "super powers".

Here's a list of the Top 10 Super Hero Powers...

1) Flying - Anti gravity is where it's at.

2) Invisibility - You would be the world's Hide 'N Seek champ!

3) Super Strength - No need to go to the gym.

4) Telepathy - Be careful, do you really want to know what people think of you?

5) X-Ray Vision - Useful?  Maybe.  Fun?  Definitely!

6) Teleportation - Think of the money you would save on gas!

7) Regeneration - The ability to regrow limbs and other body parts.  The ultimate organ donor.

8) Super Speed - But not in the bedroom, right?

9) Invulnerability - Nothing could hurt you...except the sound of "Opera Lady's" voice.  Ouch.

10) Lazer Eyes - New definition to the phrase "if looks could kill"!

What Super Power would you choose and why?

Canada Day is here!  Be patriotic and flap your flag!  Be proud of "Our home and native land". 

There are so many reasons to love Canada:

Smarties.
The CFL footballs and fields are bigger, and we have one less Down.
Hockey is Canadian.
Basketball is Canadian.

Avril, Alanis, Nickelback, The Guess Who, Neil Young, Tragically Hip, Shania Twain, Barenaked Ladies, Joni Mitchell, Celine Dion...OK, maybe not Celine Dion.
Mr. Dress-up can kick Mr. Rogers ass. 
Maple syrup kicks Mrs. Butterworths ass (...don’t know about Aunt Jemima though).
Tim Horton’s!
We knew plaid was cool far before Seattle caught on.
We invented ski-doos, jet-skis, velcro, zippers, the long distance and short wave radios that save countless lives each year. Oh yeah...and the handles on beer cases big enough to fit your hands with mitts on.
We’ve ALL have frozen our tongues to something metal and lived to tell about it.

What makes you proud to be Canadian?  Don't say Don Cherry.

Lots of people furious with the Elton John/Ticketmaster fiasco.  Over 11 thousand tickets snapped up in 4 minutes with most fans left empty handed.  I don't necessarily have a problem with the way ticketmaster sells tickets.  It is the new millinium after all and we must eventually embrace technology, right?   My problem is with the people who are in it to make a quick buck.  Want Elton tickets?  Go go eBay...scalpers are asking upwards of $1400 a pair.  That makes me sick.  That's almost as disgusting as the Verne Troyer sex tape.  Were you lucky enough to get tickets or did you get shut out like me?  For those who did not get tickets, will you buy them for a stupidly over-inflated price?  Thoughts? 

Two big movies open this weekend...

"Get Smart" with Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway - based on the 60's TV show (which I loved!)...

and the "Love Guru" with the always hilarious Mike Meyers...

Which will be the better movie?  So far the critics are leaning towards "Get Smart".  So am I.  As much as I want to love the "Love Guru", it looks kinda stupid.

I don't know if this will sway your opinion or not but in "Get Smart" you see Anne Hathaway in lingerie while the "Love Guru" features Justin Timberlake in a speedo.  Mike Meyers claims that JT had to be "digitally reduced" to keep the movie kid friendly.  Right.

Which movie do think will make more money?

It was probably the worst kept secret in the city but we are finally able to spill it...Elton John is coming to the Brandt Centre for not one but TWO shows Sept. 16th & 17th!

This is the kind of show only big cities get...so the fact that Sir Elton is coming to Regina is HUGE!  

I mean, this guy is a rock and roll icon.  He has sold over 200 million records, 29 consecutive Top 40 hits, 35 gold and 25 platinum records....I could go on and on about his accomplishments but I really don't have to - after all he's Elton John!

I've seen him once in Saskatoon and it was incredible.  You will literally be singing along with every song.  In Saskatoon it was just him and his piano...the Regina shows will feature Elton backed by a full band.

Tickets go on sale Monday, June 23rd at 10am at all Ticketmaster outlets.  Listen to Z99 to beat the box office this morning.  We'll have more tickets on Friday...more details to come.

Elton John in Regina.  Cool.  Are you pumped about Elton? 

Sheryl Crow is coming to Regina this September.  Several years ago CC & I got to hang with Sheryl...

Before you assume CC has overactive sweat glands, that big stain on the front of his shirt was actually  from somebody's beer.  Sheryl was very cool and is going to be AWESOME at the Brandt Centre this fall.  Tickets on sale Friday 10am on Ticketmaster.  Planet Zed members get to Pre-Buy on Thursday.

Listen in Friday morning at 7am for another major concert announcement and a chance to beat the box office!
