Rice Krispie balls

At 101.3 The BOUNCE we have this thing called “The 12 Days of Christmas”. Everyone signs up and brings a treat for the staff. Last year, I (Amber) brought Rice Krispie treats but accidentally forgot to put the butter in. That resulted in a cement-type product for which people mock me to this day. Just because you could lift the entire glass tray with the knife inserted in the treats doesn’t make it a fail.

Okay, maybe it does.

But I’ve redeemed myself!! I bought those festive red and green Rice Krispies and used tonnes of marshmallows and butter. I’ve also shaped them into festive “Christmas balls” which I believe better conveys the Christmas spirit than the traditional square. Wouldn’t you agree?

Pain in the butt takes an extra nasty turn.

This is why you shouldn’t be the first person to pass out at a party.

A 19-year old in China woke up with a serious pain in his backside a couple of days ago.

He went to the hospital but doctors were puzzled. Then he rolled over and the channel flipped on the TV. An X-Ray was immediately ordered and they found a remote control in his butt.

The boy will be fine but the remote control is a write off.

Some good news on a Friday.

If you know someone battling cancer, here’s a story that will give you some hope!!

ETHAN ZOHN . . . the winner of the third season of “Survivor” . . . is doing well in his battle cancer. He recently found out there are no longer any active cancer cells in his body. Ethan was diagnosed with Stage Two Hodgkin’s disease in May.

He says, quote, “If I walked in off the street today, they would think I’m cancer free. This is the best possible news I could have gotten at this stage of my journey.” Ethan will undergo a stem-cell procedure to try to keep the cancer from coming back.

FAIL!

Failblog.com has released its top 3 FAILS of the year!

-A Bolivian newscast aired footage of the plane crash from the TV show “Lost” when talking about an actual Air France plane crash.

-the Balloon Boy hoax with the Heene family

Not the most festive Christmas meal!

Not to subscribe to species-ism, but this just screams wrong!

A restaurant in Chicago is serving this:

Made of this:

Reindeer hot dogs…..no, no, no!

This is a bad sign.

Thanks to Lainey from laineygossip.com for pointing this out.

You know it’s a bad sign when Tara Reid, one of the biggest celebrity trainwrecks of all time, is looking better than Lindsay Lohan. 

BOUNCE Winter Break

If you’re looking for the perfect Christmas present – how about The BOUNCE Winter Break???   This is going to be an amazing show going down next Saturday night!

Snooping Christmas presents

Frankie Hollywood is aghast at these statistics:

20% of adults will sneak a peek at their gifts before Christmas.

Women (21%) sneak more than men (15%).

Why do women snoop?

Well, Jordan and I believe it’s because we don’t want to be disappointed on Christmas morning and if you don’t like the gifts you have time to drop a few choice hints to get what you really want.  Is that evil?  420-1013!

A woman called in saying she used to snoop and then when her parents accused her she blamed the cat.  Well, she might have a point. 

MB SCOPES for Fri, Dec 11th, 2009

 

SAGITTARIUS

Don’t wait for others to entertain you. Have a party. You’re a natural!

 CAPRICORN

Your down-to-earth practicality comes in handy today, as your people are all over the map when it comes to getting anything done. You most certainly have to organize the troops quickly.

 AQUARIUS

This is a bumpy path you’re on. Don’t worry if you trip from time to time.  The good news is that things are sure to work out for you — in a while.

 PISCES

Be a little more spontaneous today. You don’t have to know your destination. Make up the route as you go along.

ARIES

People’s meanings are unclear lately. Don’t state an opinion until you understand, otherwise you might find yourself in some hot water.

 TAURUS

You’re committed to at least one major relationship — it’s in your nature. Now is the best time to build it up and make sure that it has real lasting potential. If not, you’ve got some serious work to do!

GEMINI

You’re sure there’s more at play than what you can see right in front of you, but you’re not sure where to start looking. It’s best to focus on what you do know and then step outside that box.

 CANCER

Though you’re pretty sure of yourself, you still need to check your facts, chat with all your trusted advisers, add everything up and then do what your gut says is right.

 LEO

You’re feeling a little bit trapped today — but you just need to break out of your own head! It may take longer than you like, but sometimes it s all you can do to see beyond your own stress.

VIRGO

Nobody gets it right the first time. Try, try, and try again. It’s the only way to succeed.

 LIBRA

You and your family may be ready for a major purchase — even if you think you can’t afford it! Now is a good time to look for deals or just go for whatever it is that you know deep down you really need.

 SCORPIO

The mountain is tall, but once you’ve climbed it, you can see the whole world.

 THAT’S WHAT ‘S GOING ON IN YOU WORLD TODAY, ON YOUR MORNING BOUNCE HOROSCOPE!
