• The People’s Court: Clay on Trial for Acting Like a Fool

  Feb 6th 2012

  By: Clayton Imoo

  Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury: you have an extremely important decision to make.  Your task is simply to determine whether or not the defendant, Mr. Clayton Imoo of the Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministry (OYYAM), is guilty with “acting like a fool in the presence of Archbishop Michael Miller.”

  You will be presented with five different exhibits of varying degrees of humour, embarrassment, and ridiculousness.  Listen carefully to each one.  Try to picture each scenario as it played out.  And most importantly, remain objective.

  Now Mr. Imoo (referred to as “Clay” going forward) will say that the proof is in the pudding: the OYYAM continues to do good work, his staff is well-liked and well-respected, and he still has a job.  And he may argue that he just plays some of these encounters up just to have fun; or that some of them were caused by him being in the wrong place at the wrong time.  Whether you believe him or not will be at the heart of your decision.

  Let’s begin shall we?  For the purposes of this case, Archbishop Michael will be respectfully referred to as “ABM” to help out the person typing on that weird typewriter machine in the courtroom.  Does that thing even work?

• CCC – Clay’s Canucks Commentary for January 29, 2012: The Last Shall be First (All-Star Edition)

  The NHL held its annual All-Star game this past weekend in Ottawa, with Team Chara defeating Team Alfredsson (with 3 Canucks) by a score of 12-9.

  The All-Star festivities kicked off with the Draft on Thursday night in which San Jose Sharks forward Logan Couture was selected 38^th overall…or last.  While some people dismissed it as no big deal, in this CCC I argue that it is indeed a big deal to be picked last, even if it’s from a pool of 40 elite NHL players.

  Through it all, Couture handled it with dignity and class and we can all look forward to many great years ahead from him.

  Also, I will likely leave you yearning for more Marie Hui and less of me as I start this CCC off with my rendition of Vanessa Williams’ “Save the Best for Last”.

• CCC – Clay’s Canucks Commentary for January 22, 2012: Proposed New Canucks Superskills Events

  I took my family to the annual Vancouver Canucks Superskills event at Rogers Arena and was generally entertained by all of the events: puck control relay, fastest skater, shooting accuracy, hardest shot, and breakaway challenge (footage included in video).

  As I was watching however, I started to think of ways the Canucks could keep this event fresh and it dawned on me that they could add a bunch of new events.

  Imagine contests for Hardest Hipcheck, Shot Blocking, Spitting, and Best Hairdo…the possibilities are endless.

  See what a few of my friends and family members proposed…along with their predictions as to who might win.

  Feel free to add your own suggestions in the comments!

• 10 Things You Don’t Want to Hear Your Dentist Say

  Jan 19th 2012

  By: Clayton Imoo

  Today I went to the dentist for the 6th time in the last 8 months.  In that time I’ve had a root canal, a crown put on, a few fillings and a routine check-up.  Slightly embarrassed at the amount of work he’s done in my mouth, I remarked to my dentist that I’ll be glad not to have to come back for a whole six months.  He mentioned that I’m actually not doing too badly considering I had gone close to 20 years without a check-up (sad but true).

  In light of these experiences, I now present to you 10 Things You Don’t Want to Hear Your Dentist Say:

   

  1. “I hope you have a good dental plan.”
  2. “What do you mean those are your permanent teeth?”
  3. “Wow, look at all that blood.”  My dentist actually said this to me today after my gums started bleeding when he was showing me proper brushing technique.  He must have been going tough on me to prove his point.
  4. “Give me a second while I figure out how to stop the bleeding.”
  5. “Just a warning, I’ll probably end up cutting your lip or tongue.”  He said this to me too after I told him that in 2 of my last 3 visits, he cross-checked me in my mouth causing me to bleed.  He claims that I just have sensitive tissue.
  6. “How does it feel to be my first patient since I was reinstated?”
  7. “You’re going to end up looking like rapper Lil John by the time I’m done.”  This is more applicable to my son Sean who was 8 caps in his teeth.  And I’d be freaked out if my dentist knew who Lil John is.
  8. “I hope your Tooth Fairy has a second job.”
  9. “Drink more Pepsi.”  My dentist actually said this to me after I told him that I have drastically cut back on pop.  I guess he wants more business.
  10. “Ooops!”
