Licensed “energy drinks” at Bulk Barn

Every Friday night we get “Friday Night Treats”. The kids look forward to it every week. We usually end up going to the Bulk Barn. The other day we were there, and I noticed the following drinks in the cooler:

In case you can’t tell, there is Flaming Moe’s (from the Simpsons), Power Up (with Super Mario), and Romulan Ale (from Star Trek). My first thought was, “Wow, how can those be legit?” I looked on the cans, and they all have copyright or trademark information on them

I checked out the Boston America web site, and they have lots of different energy drinks that have licensed characters on the can. I guess they are legit. The only thing that kind of bothers me is that some of the cans would appeal to kids.

Andre Agassi making the rounds

In the last week, I’ve listened to Andre Agassi on three different talk shows. They have all overlapped (of course), but all three were worth listening to. If you’ve got the time (I listen on a lunch-time walk), here are the links:

• 60 Minutes – Andre Agassi’s Extraordinary Journey
• Prime Time Sports – aired Friday, November 13, 2009 (view it here, listen to it here)
• Fresh Air – A Tennis Star Who Hates Tennis?

Walken Family Reunion

I haven’t seen a lot of movies with Christopher Walken, but you gotta love the way he talks. This Saturday Night Live skit is very funny!
