Not A Lot Goin' On - Corner Gas News - January 2020

What is the statute of limitations on saying happy new year to people? Here we are half way through January and I haven't wished you guys merry new ones. How rude! Is it too late to squeeze one in now?

Maybe there is no limit. I like the idea of sneaking up behind someone in a store whipping a Happy New Year on them whilst they are buying their Easter Eggs. It may be April but it's a new April, which falls in the time frame of a year. Should still count.

"Hey that's a cool witches outfit you got there this Halloween"

"Happy New Year!"

"I think Ian needs his medication again...."

By Popular Demand - Dog River Vice (Season 3, Episode 3) or A Love Letter to Ukraine

You know, watching the world of the internet expand, as it does at roughly three times the speed that your broadband can handle, you would imagine it to be an exciting place to set up shop. You would be right. Now, I know what you are thinking, with all my reader, I am probably talking about how exciting it is seeing all that sweet internet cash I hoover up in sponsorship and advertising. That I am about to wax lyrical about the time I was invited to a red carpet movie premiere and how I saw Madonna scarf up all the free popcorn, burp at some paparazzi and leave, getting married at least three times before she reached the exit. Well you would be wrong!

It's a Wanda Full Life - A Dog River Christmas Story

This year's Christmas parody is based on  "It's A Wonderful Life" starring James Stewart and Donna Reed and directed by Frank Capra. So if you haven't seen it already you better go watch it quick otherwise you will be a bit lost!

George Bailey has been replaced by Wanda Dollard
Mary Hatch has been replaced by Hank Yarbo
Clarence the Angel has been replaced by Davis Quinton
Mr. Gower is replaced by Lacey Burrows

Most of the other characters (and plot) have been cut out due to length issues (aka me being lazy)

With a Little Help From Friends Christmas Special - Vela Update 2020

You know I like to crack wise at the beginning of all my posts right? I'll throw in a few goofy gags to make you either a) spit your hot beverage through your nasal cavities or b) roll your eyeballs - possibly, if I have done my job properly, roll them both in opposite directions to each other. However, when I write these little posts pointing you in the direction of charities and good causes that are in some way linked to Corner Gas, I feel a bit bad doing it.

The Jackass-Cast - Christmas Special

This is it folks. There have been some mammoth battles fought by mighty armies through out history. However, only now has there been such a hard fought contest to find out who is the biggest Corner Gas Fan in the world!

Santa's Little Helper - Christmas Gift Ideas For The Corner Gas Super Fan

Every year it get's harder and harder to think of a unique Christmas gift for all your loved ones. Because of this the Christmas season can become extremely stressful when suddenly inspiration leaves you and even with Amazon Prime there is no way anything you order is going to arrive in time to save you from a dirty look by the missus over the Turkey and/or the Vegitarian/Vegan alternative of such (Corner Gas Fan Corner: Covering All Bases). 

The 100% Officially Unofficial Corner Gas Advent Calendar 2019

HO, HO, WORLD'S BIGGEST HOE!!

Do you see what I did there? I cleverly mashed up this month's theme of Christmas with a well known and popular element of a Corner Gas episode! I know! Genius, right! It's only taken me three years of my traditional month of Christmas posts to think of it...but genius non the less!!

Yes folks, it is that time of year again. Trimming the tree, Turkey with all the trimmings and trimming Grans old lady beard so she doesn't get hairs in the sprouts.

The Corner Gas Episode Guides - Revisited: The Reboot

We are all aware of the current blot on the entertainment landscape commonly known as a reboot. There is such a lack of inspiration in Hollywood and the likes that it feels like all we get fed, for better or worse, is remakes and re-imaginings of all the old classics that we loved when we were younger.

Cooking with Gas (or Electric) - Finding Nanaimo

As we know Corner Gas is a Canadian classic, so here at Fan Corner I like to bring you other great Canadian institutions that should not be missed. This week I would like to introduce the world to the Nanaimo Bar! Let's start with a little background before we get to the nuts and bolts of it...or the nuts and chocolate which would be more accurate.

Not A Lot Goin' On - Corner Gas News - October 2019

It funny where inspiration comes from. I sit here trying to think of a way to start a post and find myself staring into the sky looking to the heavens for a little nugget of gold to wake up my synapses and get the old imagination up out of its bed and doing a thousand reps before a quick jog to the gym.

Then nothing comes and so I go with the first unrelated thing that comes to mind and worry about making it relevant later

I enjoy watching the trails that airplanes leave in the sky. When I see one trail being closely followed by another I wonder if the second plane has a wife chasing her pilot husband in the one ahead because he left his lunch on the kitchen counter again. She is leaning out of the cockpit window, waving a thing wrapped in tin foil at the 747 in front of her, shouting "Steve, it's Marge!! Pull over....PULL OVER!!!"
