Bucket List - Sports Edition

Here's a short list of my bucket list revolving around sports...

1. A Stanley Cup Game. Preferably involving the Edmonton Oilers or another Canadian team, however for the sake of the bucket list, I'd take any team.

Side Note - The 3 teams that I'd least like to see are the Maple Leafs, Philadelphia Flyers and whatever team that fucking shit face Chris Pronger is playing for.

2. A World Series Game. I've only ever been to one game in Arizona, which included a home run from the D-Backs SP Brian Anderson, and seeing as this is second only to hockey as my favourite sport it's a must on the list.

3. An Olympic Event. The odds of getting duckets to my favourite event in either games are pretty slim so just being at an Olympic Event would be an amazing experience.

4. PGA Major Tournament. I would fucking love to be at any of the 4 Majors on a Sunday, is there really any need to explain further?

5. Participate in the WSOP. Now I'm not saying that I think there's a solid chance to win. It'd be quite the opposite probably, but to sit in on the prelims and give it a shot would be something to remember. All that I need now is just the 10 G's to buy in, any donations?

6. A Tennessee Titans game. Despite the shit show of a season that's on hand right now, I still stand by the team. I'd even stand by Kerry Collins but only to berate him and make him realize just how shitty he really is. An even better scenario? Having the team back in Houston (where they should've always stayed) and see them play as the Oilers.

Bucket list accomplishments to date:
Watching Gretzky (and other Oiler Alumn) play at the Heritage Classic & Superbowl XVII

I Heart Sticker Book

I was going through some off my old shit last night and found these gems froms my childhood. The "Hockey 87'" was my favourite of the two. Mainly because the book had Grant Fuhr, the greatest goalie ever, on the cover. Why the hell don't they sell these anymore? Half of the excitement was opening the sticker packet, which I remember getting a whole box for Christmas one year.

                                            

As Seen On TV

Now I get it that most, if not all, infomercials are fucking pointless and the production value makes recreated Star Wars fight bearable to watch. Well good reader, I have here quite possibly the worst infomercial ever aired. After watching it last night, I woke up this morning still laughing my ass off thinking about these prats who honestly believe there are people who would buy this "Patch". I present to you the Potty Patch. I particularly love the part where the lady complains about her dog not liking to go outside all the while the dog can't take it's eyes off of the fucking patio door.

What's The App?!

The two most popular phones used today are the blackberry and the iPhone. I myself run with the iPhone crowd and don't plan on leaving anytime soon. One of my favourite capabilities with the iPhone are the applications (or "apps") that users can download through iTunes. These Apps come in a variety of categories including business, games, utilities, sports, weather, travel, social networking and more. Some are free and others cost money, some are extremely practical and others completely useless, some can kill hours and others get you bored after a few minutes. Here's a short list of some apps that I use daily and you should consider if your an iPhone person looking for something interesting.



Twitterrific (Free): For those in the Twitter-verse this app lets you post tweets, reply to friends, read other posts and a few other minor features. You can upgrade to Twitterrific Premium for $3.99 rather than the free version. I can tell you though that the ads aren't in the way whatsoever so why pay?

Bump (Free): If your with a fellow iPhone-er and need their contact info, just connect to the same wi-fi and bump fists. The bumping of the fists is all kinds of stupid but it's pretty cool and saves some time entering the info traditionally.

Trapster (Free): once you set the notifications up in the app then you'll be notified when your coming up to a speed trap, speed camera, check stop and common hiding spots for the po-po. The app does roam so be careful depending on the data package you have.

Drinking Lite (Free): If you feel like playing some drinking games then add this app. The "Lite" version, or as my cheap-ass likes to refer to it "Free", has 25 drinking games to choose from. Everything from classics like Asshole and Beer Pong to newer games like ABC's of Sex and Mexican Quarters will give you hours of fun or until you fall flat on your ass.

Shazam (Free): A classic, if your listening to a song and don't know or can't recall the artist/song title just open the app and hold your phone close the speaker. Chances are pretty good that you'll tag the song and up pops the artist, album name and song name in Shazam. There are even options to watch the video on YouTube if one exists and purchase through iTunes.

Golf Card ($7.99): Golf Card can locate and display information on the course your playing based on your current location. It'll give you the course layout, distance, contact info, directions and when your playing your round it'll act as a GPS and scorecard for up to 4 people. Pretty sweet if you hit the links often enough.

Sportacular (Free): Rather than go online to TSN, ESPN or (god forbid) Sportsnet, use this app for the scores and stats on every game in every league at every level.

Scratch (Free): For those basement DJ's and scratchaholics this app is good at killing some time. Pretty self-explanatory, just choose the beat and scratch away.
