CBC TV is looking for your stupid human tricks. Their suggestions include: “Can you belch the national anthem? Dazzle onlookers with a hula-hoop? Whistle through your nose? Write the new the Hockey Night in Canada theme?” No, they’re not looking to replace Strombo, it’s for a new TV series called Live at 25:00 (CBC execs love dem numbers). The pilot show is scheduled for June 27 at The Seahorse Tavern (1665 Argyle), 1am, and includes hard-acts-to-follow Christina Martin, David Myles, Erin Costelo and Picnicface. So if you think you’ve got the right wacky stuff, email liveat25@yahoo.ca. If you need any guidance in terms of what not to do, I suggest a quick read of darwinawards.com.
