Got Something You Want To Say?

A.D.

Keep your eyes peeled for "Ice Road Truckers"

It's shown here on the History channel, but I think it's Canadian. Well, at least all the people are Canadians.

There's somethying to be said about a reality show that can make stars out of 4 or 5 fat, middle aged, Canadian Truck drivers.

The thing is addictive.

It's already showing here. Geez. But I haven't seen it. It's on at some odd hour of the night, I think.

Mrs A.D.'s comment was "They'll make a TV show about anything nowadays.."


I've just found out that The Iron Chef makes a comeback to Aussie TV after the Olympics :woot: :victory: :dancing:

I don't mind the audition part actually, some of the breakers they reject are amazing.. but the rest bores me.

"Medic!!!"

After that, the fun stuff ends, and it's just dancers dancing.

Yea, it bores my brother, too. I like dancing (tho I'm not that good) so I do enjoy the show because it's an interest of mine. Mind you, I'm not a singer, so I find American Idol boring. I see what you mean. :beaten:


Hmmm... I've never heard about Ice Road Truckers... But then, I don't watch TV.

You watch more TV than anyone I know! You just don't watch local TV.

LOL! Good point... :sweat: :beaten:

^ Is it a wonder I pretty much don't watch broadcast TV or get cable? :bleh:

And to actually pay something like $100/month for that dreck? :shakehead:

It may surprise you, but Sharon Tay has a number of Emmy awards for news reporting... :victory:

That's not surprising; there are probably as many news people who have won local emmys than there are those who haven't.

The yearly list of categories for local news emmys is huge; hang around long enough in the business and you're bound to win eventually.

She does deserve kudos for being over 40 and still active in front of the camera, especially in the meat market that is L.A.

I wonder if she and Hitomi Kuroki bathe in the same fountain of youth?

I wonder if someone has pictures of them bathing. :beaten: :naughty:

I was on lunch getting a tire change...and the technician literally dropped the air gun, and scurried out of the garage...he is from Chicago and never felt an earthquake before.

yeah, my office is about 5 miles from the epicenter. it was a fun ride i tell ya, much better than the Northridge.

I didn't feel anything. :ashamed: I always miss out on all the fun :pout:

That's pretty amazing...they said ppl felt it as far away as Las Vegas. :sweat:

I saw the news on Yahoo and I stopped by to check out the forums to see if you guys were ok. Thank goodness you guys are. :)

RUINED my lunch, which i had just begun to eat. 10 chicken nuggets wasted, covered in ceiling tile pieces and dust. Half of my Barq's spilled all over my keyboard too. I'm not looking forward to cleaning that up tomorrow morning.

RUINED!!!
