Springing into Spring...

Last night was our Winter season ending party. And it was pretty awesome, if I do say so myself (Kerri)



The theme for the night was Spring into Spring - Luau Style. There were lots of fun decorations and some really great costumes. Some teams, like Bend it Like Beckham, went all out. I am guessing that this is one of the reasons that they took home the Lady Bing shirts. Awesome job guys!



The highlight of the night for me was watching the limbo contest. Participants made their way under a floral hockey stick while trying to not spill their glass of beer. Needless to say a lot of players didn't make it, but those that were victorious were fun to watch. I was just talking to Andrew, and his fav game was the beer-drinking hoola hoop contest. Ryan F. kicked butt on this one. Later we tested for steroids, but found out it was years of training that allowed him to take home the gold.



I wish I had some pictures to post, but we had a professional photographer there last night, so we don't have any pictures yet. Sorry!!



Moving on, one of our GCs, Jana, stopped by the office this afternoon to return some equipment. Some how we got onto the topic of farm animals and eventually poultry. I brought up the topic of the chicken that had it's head chopped off and continued to live for a year and a bit. Nicole and Jana didn't believe me. So I hopped onto the internet and used trusty ol' Google. I could get into more detail, but it gets kinda gross... if you feel like you're up to it, check out the website: http://www.miketheheadlesschicken.org/



Thats all from me today



Peace out!

Miami Vice?

(Stacey will have an update from the weekends Volleyball Tournament tomorrow)

Well I (andrew) was going to post an end of the season re-cap but I have decided to hold off until the Season Ending Party is over.

The season ending party is on Wednesday at 7:00pm at Bugaboo Creek. Click here for more information. Matt (GC) and I will be hosting the event. We have some great stuff planned. We even met up tonight to work on the program. Towards the end we thought, "Hey, what are we going to wear?". We debated this for like 20 minutes. We then realized we had been talking about what to wear for 20 minutes.

One idea that stood out was dressing up like Don Johnson and the other guy from Miami Vice. Not the new version with guns and no plot line but rather the version with the alligator and awesome hair. We thought it would be a good choice but realized that neither of us has suits from the 80's. We decided to go in another direction which might tick off Stacey. What is it you ask, well you need to be there to see.

I was surfing youtube today and found this amazing video. Alanis Morisette hasn't released new music in many years. But, she has been around the media by dating Van Wilder. Well she is going to shoot herself back into the spotlight with this parody video. It pokes fun at the Black Eyed Peas and especially Fergie. Click here to watch. It might not be new music but it's pretty funny or powerful stuff.

Season Ending Party

Hey everyone,

The season is coming to a close and the season ending party is on Wednesday April 4 at Bugaboo Creek. The theme is "spring fun" so make sure to put on your Bermuda shorts and t-shirts. I (Andrew) and our GC Matt will be hosting the event. I got Stacey to give us full creative control of the content so you should expect some pretty funny stuff.

Everyone knows by now that we are American Idol fans. Sanjaya is a contestant who is clearly not as good as the others but remains in the competition. There is even a girl who is starving herself until he is voted off. I posted a link a few days back. Well, she is now 11 days into her fast and will have to go another 6 days. Seriously here, do people not have better things to do than starve themselves over a TV show? Why not do something that benefits others such as shaving your head and raising money for cancer? Just my thoughts.

The top 3 nominees for the Lady Bing Award have been announced. The top 3 nominees are: I Like Sets, Team Discovery Channel, and Bent Like Beckham. Congratulations to all three teams for playing with respect for their opponents. All teams in the CSSC should play like them. The winning team will be announced at the Season Ending Party.

I will discuss some highlights to the season in tomorrows blog post.

It's a Pucking Win!

Kerri here again. I just had to do a short blog about my floor hockey game last night. Our team, the Pucking Allstars, have not won a game all season. All we wanted to win was one game this season, just one... I'm not asking much!



The game remained scoreless for about the first 10 minutes. I have to give kudos to the other team, The Thunder Bolts. They were a lot of fun to play against, and had amazing sportsmanship. After about 15 minutes of play, the scoring opened up. Tomas from our team scored 6 of our 8 goals! Must have been the new stick...Dude, where were you the other 8 games! Maybe things would have been a little different, and we wouldn't have been in LAST PLACE! A shout out also goes to Rob, the team goalie. He has held down the fort all season, but unfortunately a goalie can only do so much without defence!

Anyways, the game ended 8-1 in our favour. I got to thinking after the game, though, that maybe the The Thunder Bolts had heard about our struggle this season and just felt sorry for us and let us win.


After the game the team headed over to Limericks for some celebratory drinks. We ran into a couple of players from The Thunder Bolts and had a pint with them. It was all good fun, and the perfect way to end the season.

I'm done bragging for today...

Peace out

Craved Globally, Enjoyed Locally

Oh man, what a crazy week. I (Kerri) have to apologize to Ballz in yo Face. I GC'd their game against Sex Panther on Tuesday and I told them I would post their picture on here, and I just haven't had a chance... until today.

Tuesday's game was AWESOME! It was the first time I had GC'd soccer, and these two teams made it SO easy. I didn't have to blow my whistle once! These teams were so eager to play that I went to get a sip of water from the fountain at the half, and by the time I got back, the players were already on the field, ready to go. Other sports I've GC'd, I have to blow my whistle and nearly FORCE the players back on to the court!

The team captain of Ballz in yo Face, Jolene, was not able to play because of a foot injury, but she was still out there cheering on her team. She told me that the team had made it to the final round many times, but just we not able to capture the shirts. But tonight was their night. After a hard fought and scoreless first half, Ballz in yo Face managed to put one in the net. I don't know how, but they got it by Sex Panther's goal who was whippin out all kinds of fancy moves.

Anyways, the game wound down and Ballz in yo Face took home the win. Congrats goes out to both teams for such a well played game. Thanks guys for breaking me into soccer GCing easily!

Now, it's well known around the office that Stacey has a Taco Time addiction. Normally we humor her and go with her once, maybe twice a week. But something extraordinary is happening... it's starting to rub off. Before I started working at the CSSC I could count the number of times I'd eaten at Taco Time on one hand (and even then it was just the Mexi fries... the beef was a little sketchy...) But now all Stacey has to do is look at me at about 11:00am and I know what she's thinking. Taco Taco TACO!

We have to leave the office at about 11:00 in order to beat the lunch rush. The guy who owns the place is always there, just him, his wife and his mother in law. It's funny to watch them work because they bicker like typical couples.

Everyone in the office always has the same things:

Rob: Big Baha Chicken Barrito, 1/2 the sour cream and hot sauce in

Andrew: 3 hard shell tacos

Kerri: taco salad with hot sauce as the dressing

Stacey: Taco Salad, no shell, salsa as the dressing

Nicole: well, we're still working on her... we'll have to wait and see what her meal of choice will be.

Well, that's about enough of our eating habits. It's time for me to go anyways.

Peace out

The other day I (Andrew) was watching Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader and thought "am I?". So I played the online version and found out that "yes, I am smarter than a 5th grader".

If you don't have plans for Saturday night I encourage you to check out Gorilla Theatre at the Loose Moose Theatre. CSSC members with their VIP cards will receive a discount on admission and can purchase a ticket for $8.00. Click here for more info.

Hockey Night at North Glenmore Park

(Please Note: Pictures from Tuesdays Soccer game will be posted tomorrow)

Well last night I (Andrew) was working a couple of games at North Glenmore Park. I really enjoy this facility because Dana, the manager takes really good care of it. Players do not enjoy the smaller nets or small gym but they do enjoy the level of service that this gym provides. I also found out that various teams hold practices on Saturdays. PRACTICES!!! That's crazy talk! I am really impressed to see that our players have such passion for the game.

The first game featured Dundadaas vs. The Olympic Hopefuls. This was a great game with the teams tied at 3-3 with 5 minutes to go. There is a female player on the Olympic Hopefuls who looks like she is going to eat baby when she attacks the ball. It's awesome!! There was one player Dundadaas who made a high stick and looked over at me like a 5 year old kid trying to get out of trouble. He jokingly walked off the court while his teammates laughed.

The second game featured the Grooveservers vs. The Hockey Club. This game was tough as there was some chippiness on both sides. At one point I had to blow the whistle. But the awesome part was that both captains apologized to one another, kicked out some of the rough players and wanted to play on. We continued to play and it turned out good.

Everyone at the office is a pretty big fan of American Idol. I put my support behind Chris Sligh but I have to change it to Sanjaya. This guy cannot sing, period. But he is so funny and enthusiastic. 2 nights ago he made a girl cry. Seriously, a girl cried over a mediocre singer. Can you imagine this girl 20 years from now. She will be forever known as the "girl who cried over that kid on idol who couldn't sing". Click here to watch the clip. Some people are not impressed that Sanjaya has made it this far. This girl has declared a hunger strike.

I am a big fan of 80's and 90's references. In a sense I consider myself old school. Check out this hilarious clip. This guy is definitely old school.
