I’m a couple of days late seeing this, but it’s just so bizarre that I couldn’t leave it alone. Two 73-year old retirees from the Canadian Football League rekindled their rivalry with an on-stage brawl.

You’ve got to see this video. It was shot by two crews of the International Space Station earlier this year and shows several stunning shots of the Aurora Borealis. Amazing.

Served with today’s alter ego, we get a little insight into the mind of a barista from former Starbucks employee, Meg. She writes: “My name is Meg (easy enough to spell), but someone at Starbucks decided to write my name the cool way, apparently, and spelled it like this. As a former Starbucks employee, I kind of enjoy the creativity of the double-g.  When the write-the-customer’s-name-on-their-cup initiative began, my coworkers and I decided to designate names for willing customers to avoid misspellings of our own.  This led to us serving drinks to ‘Brad Pitt,’ ‘Bart Simpson’ and ‘Rainbow Brite,’ just to name a few.”

I spotted this on the Facebook page of country music station 95.9 in Windsor. It was posted by a woman named Rebecca, who wrote: “I haven’t been to McDonalds in a while… apparently I should go back, they’ve made their menu more appealing.”

There’s winning the raffle at the company holiday party…and then there’s receiving a phone call from your colleagues, saying you won $2 million. That’s exactly what happened to Barry Deley, a Vancouver sports anchor at Global BC, who was shopping for groceries when his on-air colleagues called to say he’d won a $2 million charity lottery.

Samson Pessah is barely old enough to understand what NY1 is about. But thanks to his mom, the two-year-old Brooklyn boy had my favorite Halloween costume of 2011.

Last year, the crew of The Addams Family set me up as Gomez Addams. This year, the new Broadway production of Bonnie and Clyde has set me up as Clyde Barrow. I was at Saint Laurie Merchant Tailors on Friday for my costume fitting.

Maybe I’ll get used to it. But “Dreamliner” sounds silly. Now that the Boeing 787 is in regular service, let’s just call it that.

Today’s Alter Ego comes from Jennifer, who was puzzled not only by the spelling of her name also by the emoticon her cup received: “No idea why I got the frownie face either….I was in a great mood and was very pleasant to barista.”
