Mars and I won't be on the radio for a week and a bit because the boss has actually given us some time off!

Summer is upon us, and most of us try to take some sort of a getaway during the nice weather.  Whether it's just a weekend away or full blown European vacation travelling can sometimes be frustrating and time consuming.

If your vacation requires dealing with the airlines, here's a few tips on how to make your trip go as smooth as possible.

At some point, we've probably all been royally SCREWED OVER by the airlines.  But here are some things you can do to minimize the chance of it happening to you . . . 

1. DO SOME RESEARCH: Here in Canada, make sure you check out both airlines and see who can offer the better deal and with airlines outside of the country, go to a site like flightstats.com which gives you information about specific airlines and current flights so you can make a better decision when choosing which airline you want to fly.

2. PREPARE FOR THE WORST.  Seriously.  When you're prepared for the absolute worst thing that can happen . . . you'll know what to do next, instead of dwelling on how pissed off you are.  Keep the airlines' numbers on your cell phone, so you can immediately look for alternatives if your flight is screwed up.

3. KNOW WHEN TO FLY.  Here are a couple tips:  Fly in the morning, especially during the summer, because you'll have less of a chance of weather-related delays.  It also increases your chances of getting on another flight if yours is delayed or canceled.

4. PACK LIGHT.  This is pretty obvious, but the risk of losing your bag goes WAY DOWN if you carry it on instead of checking it.

Happy vacationing! 

This is even better than the Wii Pole Dancing game. GUITAR HERO 4!!!! (Yes I'm yelling)

The next edition of the insanely popular "Guitar Hero", "Guitar Hero 4" is supposedly going to come out sometime this fall. Now nothing is formal yet, but according to "Game Informer" magazine (yes I'm a nerd) "Guitar Hero 4" will feature some new songs by the amazing VAN HALEN, the very cool LINKIN PARK, the incredible EAGLES and the super chill SUBLIME!!!

No other bands have been mentioned yet, but word has it that "Guitar Hero 4" will allow you to sing and play different instruments, just like that rival game "Rock Band" with the instuments guitar, bass and drums.

The mag also says that Guitar Hero 4" will have a "custom song creation" feature that will allow you to somehow write your own music and upload it.

There are also rumours that AEROSMITH will be on "Guitar Hero 4", but that may change seeing how Aerosmith landed their own game, "Guitar Hero: Aerosmith" witch drops on June 29th.

Be prepared to lose your husbands and kids to the tv once this beauty hit the shelves! WOO HOO!!!

Remember a week ago when Mars and I were talking about Carmen Electra developing her very own video game that may include full on pole dancing? Well all of my dreams have come true! WOOOO HOOOOO!!!!

It's not quite "Carmen Electra" certified yet, but it's still great news. When Nintendo released the Wii a few years ago, it was billed as the family-friendly alternative to some of the other video game consoles on the market because it supposedly had less violent and overtly sexual games.

Well, the guys over at Nintendo must have decided to rethink their strategy a bit. Officials from Nintendo have announced that they're developing a pole dancing game. The game will come with an interactive stripper pole which users will hook up to their Wii system and . . . dance on, I guess.

According to a spokesman for Nintendo, the point of the game is to, quote, "encourage men and women . . . to improve their pole dancing skills while having fun, toning up and burning calories."

Hey, whatever works for marketing I guess. Now I don't have any children so I'm gonna say, bring it on. it could make for an interesting game night with friends. However for those of you with little ones or teens, would you bring this game home for the kids or keepit strictly 18 plus?

I have a bone to pick with someone in my neighborhood… I have no idea what the heck is going on with this guy’s car that is parked near my bedroom window, for the last week and a half it seems like they have been using their car alarm as their wake up alarm! AT 5 AM!!!!!! What gives! This is the only possible reason I can think of as to why the alarm would constantly go off at 5 am. It’s not a mistake honk… it’s 2 minutes of solid honking every day, and fat chance on falling back to sleep. Thankfully they take the weekends off. (knock on wood)

So here’s the deal, if you live around me and are in dire need of an alarm clock that you can put on your bedside and will stop using your vehicle as one, I will gladly purchase one for you and hand deliver it!

Am I the only one that has experienced this?

It is Mothers Day on Sunday and I'd like to take this time to honour all Moms by letting you know just how much you do, and how much your not getting paid to do it!

We all know that our Moms are priceless, there's no way we could put a value on everything Mom does for us. Well, I've found the price tag and it is extravegent.

When mom cooks a healthy meal for the kids, she's doing the work of a personal chef, a dietitian and a food service worker. In the real world, the salaries of those three jobs combined would total about $105 thousand dollars.

Mom also cleans the house and drives the kids to school but she doesn't get around $19 thousand like a housekeeper, or the $33 thousand salary of a bus driver.

So if mom got paid a full-time salary for all 17 or so jobs she does on a daily basis she'd be worth $800,000!!!!

I know that everyone's got the best Mom on the planet, but I definitely have the best Mom in the Universe! If you'd like, let me know with your comments what makes your Mom the best!

Happy Moms Day!!!   (The pic is just for the ladies, so enjoy...)

Here’s a question for you, have you ever taken some SEXY shots of yourself and forgot about them one your computer? I’m sure the majority of the adult population has at one time played around with a digital camera and saved some images on their computer. Sure you think they’re safe as you’re the only one that uses the computer and you have the best virus scan firewall thing installed… but they’re not if you have to bring in your computer!

This person named William Giffels who works on computers south of the border was fired after admitting to copying naked pictures of a 23-year-old woman named Kaylee Hall. Now Kaylee brought her computer in to be fixed last year, and while William was working on it, he came across some revealing pictures . . . which he then copied to his flash drive. The problem is, he also accidentally copied them to the disc that other employees use to remove viruses from customers' computers . . . and nearly ALL of his coworkers saw the pictures and realized what William had done.

So keep that in mind when bringing in your computer to get fixed.. or just keep a separate copy up in your closet!

It’s Monday and you probably feel like draggin your butt all day right? Normally on a Monday I would say that’s cool to do… but today you shouldn’t! It’s Cinco De Mayo!!! For some odd reason Mars and I tend to celebrate this every year. We bust out the chili pepper decorations, fill the fridge with Mexican beer, crank a ton of Mexican music, bust out a bunch of taco fixin’s and invite over all of our friends to celebrate.

We’re not the only ones celebrating Cinco De Mayo either, in Vancouver there’s a sky diving club that holds a Cinco De Mayo Sky Diving event (hopefully they don’t indulge on tacos before the jump). I’m picturing that they’ll create something in the sky that looks like a massive taco. Wouldn’t that be a site to see!

Are you partaking in Cinco De Mayo?

Every once in a while you hear of some outrageous things up for sale on eBay right? We all remember the infamous grilled cheese sandwich with an image of Mother Mary showing up, the face of Jesus on some chips and I believe Ghandi showed up somewhere too! Check this out, a few weeks back a couple of sisters from Virgina sold a Frosted Flake that was shaped like the state of Illinois on eBay for $1350! Who buys this stuff????

Well today’s weird eBay item is a cashew.. not just any cashew though… one that is in the shape of a phallic object! It’s true, and there’s even some offers on it.

Check it out the auction for yourself

I have a subscription to "Men's Health" magazine and usually every issue, they do some crazy survey. This month? Who women fantasize about!

The magazine just did an online poll where they asked women what guys they fantasized about the most. Here's what they said . . .

12% said they fantasize about a pro athlete.
12% said a co-worker.
19% said a movie star.
24% said an anonymous guy.

And 33% said that the man that appears most often in their most intimate of fantasies is . . . a friend. Sweet.

So what does this mean to us guys with copious amounts of girl "friends" They're thinking about US. Yes that's right. That smokin' hot "friend" of yours who says she thinks of you as a brother is fantasizing about YOU. Sweet.

Mars is my best friend...ha ha ha...busted.

So I got off the phone last night with my best friends and was shocked at the conversation!

First off they’re pregnant! Honestly it was quite the shocker for me as I didn’t think they’d ever settle down. And secondly she brought up the fact that she’s having the weirdest cravings, I’m talking about chalk, mud, coal and some weird concoctions of stuff from the fridge. I thought this was truly outrageous until I surfed the net about this. Apparently it’s not uncommon to have outrageous cravings… even Mars’ friend wanted to eat potting soil! I chatted with a few folk and they said it’s basically an iron deficiency.

If you’re having a baby or know someone who is/has what are some other wild cravings?
