You’ve heard of Mad Cow, and that’s no fun.

But what about Drunk Cow?

Some cattle ranchers in British Columbia’s Okanagan region are taking the concept of steak and red wine a bit further by putting red wine into the cattle feed. Kelowna’s Sezmu Meats, led by Janice Ravndahl, who came up with the idea, says the meat tastes better and the fat tastes like candy, according to a report from CBC.ca.

Canadian food inspectors have checked it out and, even though they have some concerns, they haven’t shut the operation down.

From CBC.ca:

The idea of giving wine to cattle came to Ravndahl late last year during a TV food program that featured beer-swilling pigs. As the Okanagan is one of Canada’s premier wine regions, getting local beef on the bottle seemed like a good plan.

Ravndahl said she started with one young cow who took to the bottle immediately, quickly earning the epithet Wino.

“It definitely changes their personalities. They moo a lot more with each other. They get really chatty,” she said.

Something tells me the ranch’s inventory is going to grow pretty quickly.

As promised, the creator of “Bones,” which celebrated its 100th episode last week with a real bombshell, is our Canadian of the Week.

Back in 2005, Hanson, who was born in California but moved to Canada as a child and graduated from the University of Toronto before getting an MFA from the University of British Columbia, dared to bring a forensic crime drama to Fox, of all places. Who would’ve believed that despite not necessarily pulling in the numbers of those forensics-by-numbers shows on CBS, he took Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz and crew, and created the most personal and fun forensics show of the bunch.

Winding down to the end of its fifth season, with a sixth already ordered from Fox, “Bones” boasts one of the most loyal audiences in television. Despite scheduling changes that have seen the show air on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, throughout its run, viewership has remained consistent and even grown a bit since the premiere, without wavering.

Then came last week’s 100th episode, written by Hanson and directed by Boreanaz, in which a trip down memory lane revealed that Bones and Booth actually kissed when they first met and worked their first case together. So, it turns out the “will they or won’t they?” question is answered with a resounding: They already did!

Still, they decided to keep things professional at the time, and the new information brings the sexual tension to a new level, and that should be entertaining for at least a few more years to come.

In case you missed it, or just feel like watching it again, here’s the 100th episode of “Bones”:

One of Canadian of the Week’s favorite new blogs is Ghouls on Film (ghoulsonfilm.net), where the horror movie genre is written about women, by women, and for women. You could maybe say it’s like Lifetime, but maybe Deadtime, if you know what I mean…

Anyway, the site is beginning a series of tributes to some classic scream queens and it just so happens they’ve started with Vancouver’s own Yvonne De Carlo.

As it turns out, she wasn’t always Lily Munster. In fact, the show only ran for two seasons (followed by two movies), and the 1940s and ’50s were considered the prolific period in the life of the actress who was once dubbed “the world’s most beautiful woman.”

Yesterday, we reported that Vancouver was among the least affordable cities in the world to live in, today we find out there might be a good reason why that’s the case.

British Columbia’s coastal jewel was among the 10 most beautiful cities in the world, according to a list from Forbes Traveler.

Vancouver was the only Canadian berg to make the list, which was led by Cambridge, England, and Tokyo. Also included were Paris, Sydney, Florence and Venice. Three U.S. cities made the list: Chicago, New York and San Francisco.

Here’s what Forbes had to say about Vancouver, which is just days from having the world’s eyes cast upon it for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games:

“While Paris is hailed for its man-made design and structures, Vancouver is noted for its natural beauty. In this coastal city open air is abundant — from the green west-end campus of the University of British Columbia to the enormous Stanley Park just outside downtown. In addition, both the snowcapped Coast Mountains and the Pacific Ocean provide a beautiful backdrop, and the city’s diverse cultures and foods offer a resounding finishing touch.”

It’s true. Vancouver is one of the most beautiful cities I’ve visited, and the food is fantastic.

An 11-year-old British Columbia boy is calling his Golden Retriever his guardian angel after the dog saved him from a would-be cougar attack while he was gathering firewood in his backyard.

The dog, ironically named Angel, reportedly began acting strangely and followed the boy to and from his woodshed before suddenly running toward the boy and jumping into the path of a cougar that was charging toward him.

The dog fought the cougar for a few minutes while the boy went inside and his mother called 911. A nearby mountie came to the house and shot the cougar, saving the dog, which suffered minor injuries throughout the ordeal.

“I feel very, very lucky. If it wasn’t for my dog, I don’t think I would be here,” the Boston Bar, B.C., boy told the CBC. “She was my best friend, but now she’s more than a best friend — she’s like my guardian now.”

A Canadian guy who got punched in the face by rapper Kid Cudi at a concert in Vancouver over the weekend says he isn’t going to press charges — he just wants to meet Kid Cudi.

In what almost certainly would have been the beginning of a drawn-out legal proceeding, Kid Cudi jumped into the crowd when a wallet was thrown on stage twice while he performed. The rapper found the guy who tossed the wallet the second time and punched him in the face.

And now, the rest of the story.

Canadian Michael Sharpe, who received the punch in the face, tells TMZ he caught the wallet when Kid Cudi threw it back into the crowd after the first time it was tossed on stage. Sharpe caught and threw it back.

Why? Because it didn’t belong to him.

The second throw prompted the rapper to jump into the crowd and mayhem ensued, but Sharpe says he has no hard feelings.

“I’m not upset, I’m not going to be that person,” Sharpe told TMZ. “I just want to meet him and be like ‘I’m the guy you punched.’ I’m not going to press charges.”

Below is the YouTube video of the incident:

Daniel Powter might have had a bad day, but it made for a good decade.

Billboard named Powter’s “Bad Day” as the one-hit wonder of the decade, topping Terror Squad’s “Lean Back” and Crazy Town’s “Butterfly,” among others.

The 38-year-old Vernon, B.C., native had a smash hit with “Bad Day,” which topped the charts all over the place and made him the first solo Canadian male artist to top Billboard’s Hot 100 since Bryan Adams did it in 1995. It was also Billboard’s Single of the Year in 2006.

Billboard describes a one-hit wonder as an act whose second hit did not reach the top 25. For this list, they only included acts from 2000 to 2007, since someone from last year might just be taking a break, according to the AP.

Any fan of “American Idol” is already humming the sad-but-uplifting tune, which was played over the montage each week when singers were voted off during the show’s fifth season.
