What a Beau-ty!

In my continuing quest to try new things, I picked up some Beau's All Natural beer made just outside Ottawa in Vankleek Hill. I'm no beer expert, but enjoyed it and it went well with the burgers after summer hockey. You won't find Beau's at the beer store, only the LCBO. My kids like it because there's a tractor on the label and call Daddy's newest beer "tractor juice".

Mike Fisher on your wall...

At the 2nd annual Charity for CHEO golf tournament there was a Mike Fisher framed signed jersey in the live auction. I promised the winner that if it got high enough I would throw in a bottle of Stuntman Stu Red Line Merlot, a Sens putter and free plug on Stuntman and the Shark. Local real estate agent Kevin Coady responded, paying $1900! Thanks Kevin and congrats to tournament organizers Spencer and Lisa Warren for selling out in only their 2nd year.

Mini Wheats, not so mini price

My kids love cereal. One of their favorites is Mini-Wheats and ever since Shreddies came up with their marketing genius of turning it around to a diamond shape, others have been trying to come up with something similar. Mini-Wheats has introduced "Little Bites" which are half the size. Cool idea and my kids ask for it every morning. Fine, you like the "Little Bites" and even though I try and convince them they're eating the same thing as the regular size, I still get "Daddy you're silly". What I don't understand is why Kellogg's charges the same price as the regular size when you're getting 95 grams less.

Update - This was the price at Metro, while Loblaws and Walmart were selling at $3.99

My new fav song...

Take Dexys Midnight Runners and add in LL Cool J and you get this:

Chill dude....

For years we've been putting limes in Corona (not sure why, I've heard 10 different reasons) and all of a sudden lime flavoured beer is the latest fad. At a recent golf tourney this was the most popular beer in the cart that day. I snapped this with my Blackberry to share with you. Please don't lick your screen, I know it looks good.

Great Big TREAT for breakfast...

Great Big Sea dropped by Stuntman and the Shark this morning which was really cool because many bands don't like to get up for early interviews. Two members of GBS (Allan Doyle, Bob Hallett) talked about their new album "Safe Upon The Shore" and what fans can expect when they hit the stage tonight at Bluesfest. You might want to ride the red rocket or take a cab to this show, as Allan said this morning "Our fans like to be refreshed during our shows".

Best part of this comes at the end with the old guy, but you need to watch the whole thing. It's worth it.

Heyyyy, so I hear you have a pool....

Plus 30 all week makes me wish I had saved up for a pool.

Sadly this is all I can afford...

Golf and Bob Barker...

The next time you're at a golf tournament or just enjoying a day away from the office, you can now order a bottle of Stuntman Stu Red Line Merlot at the Canadian Golf and Country Club. Two dollars from each bottle goes to the Ottawa Senators foundation.

While we're on the subject of golf, remember the Bob Barker scene from Happy Gilmore? If you do, and want to see what happened behind the scenes, then watch the clip below:

Zero to sixty in.....

One of my favorite events is the Ottawa Ferrari Festival (June18-20) and you're invited to come see cars perform in the demonstration zone on Carling/Preston Saturday at 2pm. Bring your camera and watch these cars go from 0-60 in seconds! The best part, it's free to but you have to listen to my commentary on site.

Here's a video I made from last year's demo zone:

Ottawa at Home, then GQ...

Since People magazine keeps snubbing me from their sexiest man alive cover, I have to thank Ottawa at Home magazine. No, they didn't want my looks, but featured the "Stuntman Stu Red Line Merlot" in their latest issue. For details on how to have it at your next event, click on the wine bottle on the left hand side of my blog.

Vuvu this...

If you didn't know what a Vuvuzela was before last Friday, that's ok...neither did we.

Here's Stuntman and the Shark producer Hammer showing off his blowing skills with his new Vuvuzela.

Our picks for the World Cup:

Stuntman: Italy
Sandy: Brazil

Hammer: England

OPA!

The 25th annual Ottawa Gold Plate dinner, held at the Hellenic community centre was a huge success! Thank you "Tannis" for sponsoring the Stuntman Stu Red Line Merlot. Because of their generosity, all 600 guests went home with a bottle that night.

Want to get Stuntman Stu Red Line Merlot at your next event? Email Stuntman@939bobfm.com $2 from each bottle goes to the Ottawa Senators Foundation.

Goaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal.......

The arrival of the World Cup has my wife has busy downloading all of her favorite soccer stars half naked in underwear ads. The response from her friends on Facebook has been sickening. You women are so shallow. So for you ladies who need your fix, on the left you will see some soccer stars, and yours truly on the right. To me, there's no difference.

Enjoy..

I suspect my blog may crash after the millions of hits from this post.

What's your favorite line?

30 years ago Caddyshack hit the big screen. Before you play in any golf tournament this summer, take 5 minutes and watch the best lines from the movie (put together by the Huffington Post).

Brownie GOOD, Husband bad...

Before they knock down Lansdowne Park (who am I kidding..we'll still be debating the issue in 50 years) you have to get down to the Farmer's Market held every Sunday and try a brownie.

There's tons of local vendors and while I haven't had a chance yet to sample from all of them, one got my attention.

Dolcibakeshop offers up Gluten free baked goods and while I don't have to worry about this dietary restriction many do, and finding foods made a certain way can be an issue. To be honest, when I shared the brownie with my son I was unaware of the way it was made, because it tasted so good. When I got home I raved about it to my wife who then asked for her piece. Needless to say, I received a husband FAIL that day, and will head back this Sunday for another piece (for the record, I did bring back a mini lemon loaf from Dolci and she loved it).

French Immersion 101....

Saw this on my drive home today. Have to give the guy credit, cause there was no way someone in Toronto would pick up on this.

Stu's note: If you skipped French class in high school you won't find this funny.

Doesn't get any better than this...

This week's forecast...

Which means more of this...and speaking of which, Mr. Ice Cream truck please find a new song. "Do your ears hang low" on a continuous loop gets a little annoying.
