"August the 31st" – Norway got their Scream back.
This day last year Edvard Munch's famous painting “The Scream” was recovered from a raid by Norwegian police. The painting was said to be in a better-than-expected condition… but still screaming.
"August the 24th" – We get some tongue KISSing
On this day in 1949 Israeli born clown rocker Gene Simmons poked his tongue out into a brave new world. How sad that his career went a little like this post KISS.
"August the 18th" – Hey Wang, what went wong?
On this day in 1992 Wang Laboratories closed it doors, which sucks because I’d far rather have a computer named after a penis than a piece of fruit. Wouldn’t you? But it wouldn’t be a small wang, it’d have to be a whopper! Unlike these ninjas.
"August the 10th" – John bags Jesus!
On this day in 1966 John Lennon said that The Beatles had become more popular than Jesus… but still agreed that no one was as cool as The Fonz. Speaking of cool… did you know?
"August the 3rd" – Get LOST, lady!
On this day in 1979 a random sperm bumped into an unsuspecting egg and 26 years later Evangeline Lilley ended up stranded on some island somewhere with a bunch of weird dudes, the skipper & Gilligan…
"July the 27th" – The birth of Uncle f**ken Bully
On this day in 1968 Kiwi actor Cliff Curtis was born. Another great Kiwi talent who was in the right place at the right time… unlike these advertisements.
"July the 20th" – Canada says, “Yay, you’re gay.”
On this day in 2005 Canada became the fourth country in the world to legalize same-sex marriage. Me, I’m still working on a some-sex marriage.
Speaking of men with men, we played Canada in rugby recently. These virals have been going around, and I bloody love them – and I don’t even really like rugby – except for all the showers.
"July the 13th" – Remember Live Aid? Kia Ora, you’re officially old.
The Live Aid benefit concert took place in London and Philadelphia, as well as other venues such as Sydney and Moscow. Only I don’t remember this act being on the bill…
"July the 6th" – She went down… but not in his story.
Today we celebrate Monica Lewinsky turning 31.
Can you believe it? It seems like only yesterday she was crawling around the White House on her hands and knees, and putting everything in her mouth.
They grow up so fast don’t they?
"June the 29th" – Ra Ra Rasputin, please excuse my stutter.
On this day in 1914 Jina Guseva tried to assassinate super monk, Gregor Rasputin by plunging a knife into his abdomen. The dude lived and went on to survive subsequent poisonings, and knifings only to finally be killed by ceiling cat.
