Flashback: Mega Movie - "Mouth Hunt"

I hosted the Mega Movie on the CW Channel 58 for 2 1/2 years and some nights of filming my mouth just wouldn't work right.

Here's a Ken Carr flashback:  An out take from March 2009 when "Mouse Hunt" turned into "Mouth Hunt".

KENjoy.

January 2012 Winter Rain in Tucson

A cool cloudy day with rain in Tucson, Arizona... is an event.

If you are from somewhere else you probably think this is ridiculous.

This is one of the sunniest climates in America.  There are more than 200 days on average each year where clouds cover less than a third of the sky.  That puts Tucson in sixth place overall.  The least cloudy city in America is Yuma, Arizona in case you were wondering.

I put up the occasional photo of rain or clouds because its unusual.  Its mostly sunny, mostly warm compared to most cities.  Today it was 61 and rainy from morning until late afternoon.  Brrrr.

I was driving to work yesterday and a few drops hit my windshield so I grabbed my camera for a photo.  Its not terribly safe to take a picture while driving but I live dangerously.  Ahem.

Flashback: My brand new cooler

Here's a photo of my brother Mike in one of his first apartments in Kansas City.  It was around 1990 I believe.

He moved there to go to school at DeVry and there are several funny elements (to me anyway) about this picture.

He was making a twelve egg omelette.  In this photo he's cutting up potatoes.  Who is this thin and can pack away a twelve egg omelette?!

He's also wearing a t-shirt from a bar called "Caboose".  I believe that was a stolen (ok, discarded) item from his big brother Ken.

Here's the thing that really caught my eye - the cooler on the counter.  I still have it more than twenty years later!

Here's a toast to the chickens... who had to produce all those eggs.


Twelve egg omelettes - all the rage back in the day.

Flashback: Christmas 2003

Here's a photo I found from my days at 93.7 KRQ.  It was a staff photo at the Tucson Mall with Santa in December 2003.

It was then Program Director Steve King's idea for all of us to go to the mall for this photo.

I was the big dork in the back doing a fake ear licking of Polo.

Good times!

Fantasy Bachelor

I overheard a conversation here at Fox 11 and have to share.

A couple of my co-workers participate in "Fantasy Bachelor".

Fantasy Bachelor is kind of like fantasy football.  You draft women contestants when the season starts, there's some sort of point system, and as they're eliminated you lose your players.

I asked to have it explained to me and I don't understand it any more than what I just described.

I can tell you I won't be participating.  I watched one episode of that show a few years ago and I thought it was awful.
