If my Facebook is to be believed (and I think it is!) today is the birthday of our fearless leader and good friend Boo Radley.

Happy Birthday Boo! It’s been a great few years working with you sir, and I hope all of your birthday wishes come true!

I won’t give away the gentleman’s age, lest I ruin the mystique. Instead I’ll share the above photo with you, one of the rare brief sightings of a Boo Radley in the wild. No one really knows what he looks like. Catching a glimpse is about as rare as the Sasquatch..

Boo – are you the Sasquatch? 😉

I think I’ve been spending way too much money on Steam’s splendid series of  game offers lately. Today Steam has a hot deal on Defense Grid: The Awakening for only $5 USD. I’ve never played this game before but skimming through the reviews it’s clearly well worth the 5 bucks.

This game actually reminds me of the Tower Defense Game which we have in SmartCanucks’ Arcade section. I’ve been holding the high score on there for over a year now and I challenge anyone to break it 😛

1. Glass of Water
2. 42
3. Clocks

Marks Work Wearhouse Canada is having its Ladies Night on Thursday, May 7th , 2009 from 5pm until closing. Get 20% off everything store-wide including regular and sale priced items. No minimum purchase necessary. Discount not applicable to the purchase of Gift Cards, and cannot be used at www.marks.com online. Some stores open until 11pm so check your local store hours.

This Marks Work Wearhouse Canada Ladies Night deal may seem a bit boring. However I did some coupon digging and I think that we can spicen this deal up a lot if we can combine it with the current Marks Work Wearhouse Canada coupon. Mark’s has a coupon that offers:

• $10 off $50+
• $20 off $100+
• $30 off $150+

On the Ladies Night event page it does not say that you can’t combine it with coupons. However the coupon does say that it can’t be combined with any other offers. So my guess is that using the coupon will be a hit or miss. If however you can use the coupon too then this is definitely a hot deal!

So here are the 2 offers:

Thanks bella40 for posting this Arby’s Canada freebie in Canadian Freebies & Samples.

Today only, Wednesday May 6, 2009  celebrate national beverage day with a free Iced Fruitea from Arby’s Canada. They want you to say that cheesy “I’m parched, FruiTea Me” quote and present the printable coupon to get your free Iced Fruitea. It says that this freebie is valid at participating locations listed in the email. When I click on Store Location I think almost all Canadian Arby’s branches are listed. But double check and maybe even give your local Arbys a call before before making the trip.

For the month of May the Caption Challenge is going to go a little thematic. Maybe it’s just my excitement over the new Star Trek movie or maybe it’s just that I’ve always got my head in the clouds, but for the next few weeks we’re going to try and keep our eyes on the stars. Don’t worry if you’re not too astronautically inclined, we’ll try to keep the pictures fun for everyone.

This week features some earth folks from the early days of the space race. What they’re doing, I haven’t the slightest idea. But I’m sure your witty captions can figure it out!

I don’t know why anyone would still want to buy a Nintendo Wii but if for some reason you do, here’s a decent deal on Nintendo Wii consoles at Future Shop. The Nintendo Wii Console is on sale this week at Future Shop for $249.99 (regular price $279.99). That’s $30 in savings and the first time ever that Future Shop has Nintendo Wii consoles on sale. You can choose to pick up the Nintendo Wii in-store and avoid paying for shipping.

I was looking for a picture to use for this post when I came across the different coloured Nintendo Wiis. I had seen this picture when the Wii was first announced a few years ago. I wonder what happened to that colour idea? Did Nintendo just give up on it? Please don’t tell me they’re still planning to release them because at this point it feels like they need a whole new console that has better online multi-player capabilities and graphics.
