Beyond Gate 6; Study Break…

Yo St. John’s,

I was in the middle of procrastination and needed to watch a new youtube video. My friend got me onto this one, and I haven’t been able to stop laughing since…

Beyond Gate 6:O.J. Simpson sentenced

After being known as the most famous person to get away with murder for more than a decade, OJ got sentenced to 15 years in prison today for an armed robbery incident in Las Vegas last year. He must serve at least nine years, and his sentencing today will definately stir up controversy in the public square.

Watch his sentencing here:

Given Michael Vick is already in jail, and according to Mayor Bloomberg, Plaxico is headed there for sure, the NFL may produce the most inmates of any sport in the world.

Hopefully web-cam suicides don’t become the new form of school shootings.

Canadian-Style Thanksgiving: Live Blog

What’s Going on, St. John’s,

First off, Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! I hope wherever you are today, you are enjoying the turkey and pies you’ll be eating today.

Well, I am blogging today from my aunts house on the East Side of Manchester, NH. I figured, since we will all have a different experience today with our families, that today I would keep a running blog of every awkward, stuffing, and alcohol induced moment around the household. That way, you can see how we do it over on the canadian side of the spectrum. So, come along with me on this journey to turkey heaven…
(For the record, if my words get slurred towards the end of this, blame it on the turkey, not the drinks)

Life Back Home: New Hampshire or Bust

Yo Johnnie’s,

It has been a while since I have been at the blog (hope you missed me). Since I’ve been away, I have left the hectic life in the big city and my small dorm room and have now settled in a much larger bedroom within the little city of Manchester, NH. Since its been a while, I figured I would give you a little insight of what it is like to be back home in Manch-Vegas and show you all how life is in New England.

Modern Day Pirates in Somalia

 

 

Pirates have been cruising and hijacking huge tankers off the coast of Somalia in record numbers this months; the count is up to nine! But these pirates aren’t armed with wooden pistols, crooked smiles or trusty parrots perched upon their shoulders; these pirates are poor Somalian men equipped with insane modern weaponry, speedboats, and satellite phones. 

Among the hijacked tankers one is completely surrounded by the U.S. Military mainly because it just happens to carry enough tanks, and artillery to run a small military, and the other, which was on trek to the US from Saudi Arabia, just so happens to carry $ 100 million worth of crude oil

Check out this pretty tricked out illustration brought to you by our friends over at the ultra hip New York Post.

Beyond Gate 6: Entertainment Special

Well aloha,

A few days ago, I posted an alleged picture of Johnny Depp as the Madd Hatter in Tim Burton’s upcoming Alice in Wonderland project. You can read it here. But that film is somewhat far away, so why not take a gander at what’s coming up in the next few months?

One Lucky Man…

Hey St. John’s,

If there is one thing I remember from my childhood, It was staying home to watch my good friend Bob Barker and The Price Is Right. It was the best! The other thing I loved to do was watch people just completely mess up the pricing games and the showcase showdown. I remember screaming at my old boob-tube television until I made myself more sick yelling at the woman from Kentucky bid $84,000 for a trip to Kentucky! Just terrible!

Well, Bob has sadly passed away and has handed over the crown of best game show host to Drew Carey. And, I must admit, I haven’t watched as much as i used to, but I happened to come across this on the internet this morning.

In my mind, this child is a genius!
