The Singing Debut of Another Mick….

Chief Mick Mayers (FirehouseZen.com) of nowhere near Philadelphia and I are engaged in a battle over the next four games of the Stanley Cup Final Series.  Game 1 is tonight as the Western Conference champion Chicago Blackhawks allow the “come-from-behind” Philadelphia Flyers stay in a locker room for a few hours tonight at the United Center.

Mick is a tad delusional.  He has yet to realize that he has been suckered into a bet he cannot win.

When the victorious Blackhawks emerge kissing the Lord Stanley’s Cup and the Philadelphia Flyers are left licking their wounds, Mick will have to post a video of himself singing one of two songs:  either the horrific fight song “Here Come The Hawks” or The Fratelli’s “Chelsea’s Dagger”.  He will have plenty of time learning the words of the latter as it’s played after each home goal at the Madhouse on Madison.

In order to successfully sucker him into even considering such a task, the beleaguered Mayers has requested I sing Sir Elton’s “Philadelphia Freedom” on video.  Even though the chances are slim, the thought of recording such a video is quite unappealing.  Don’t visualize here, folks.

Also, the loser shall buy the winner an official 9/11 Commemorative Coin for the winner and suffer a year’s worth of humiliation and yuck-yucks.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy….

360 Burn Around the Fire Web

Stuff Worth Your Time

FireGeezer describes one department’s ongoing aggravation with two almost-new rigs constantly out of service in his post Sick Ambulances in Connecticut. Imagine both of your two front-line ambuli are rarely available. Turns out they are not alone; several problems are popping up all across the northeast, prompting a class-action suit against Ford.

There are some illuminating blogs out there regarding blogs.

1. You can really get an informed insight into the sources of your blogs by finding out where the authors are coming from. ChiefReasonArt.com offers his “blogging principles” in his post The Art of Blogging.

2. If you missed it before, The Fire Critic addresses the right and responsibility bloggers have at his post Keeping Up With the Joneses: “…It is up to us to bring our issues to the forefront. We need to stand up for what is right and demand what we deserve.”

3. Mick Mayers at FirehouseZen.com shines light on efforts to get people to engage effectively with each other- rather than solely with emotion- in his post, Science is Your Friend.

Finally, some exciting news from the fire/EMS blogosphere: FireDaily.com will be teaming up with several of the top bloggers you’ve been enjoying for years in a new collaboration. The result will be more of the same excellent content made even easier to find. We’ll have details shortly, but please, pardon our dust as update and improve our site in the next week or so.

Stay Stoked!
