EEEEEEEP WHOLE NEW WORLD SNIPPET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I almost don’t recognize David here. SO. VERY. SERIOUS.
Is that an actual FURROW in his brow?
What could he possibly be talking about so earnestly?
Place your best bets here*:

*Yes, I do know what he’s actually talking about but if I need to specify “I’m just kidding,” I will drop by and personally deliver multiple noogies.
Many of you non-Canadians may be puzzled right now. “They celebrate Thanksgiving way up there??” you say.
“And they have the nerve to do it this weekend… BEFORE Halloween?”
“And so far away from Christmas?? Who the heck do those Northern wackos think they are???”
(I’ve bugged your phones so I know you’ve been muttering exactly that.)
Well, let me fill you in on our version of Thanksgiving. No, we didn’t have pilgrims in funny hats like the Yanks, but we have our own special history of this holiday.
It all started on a cold October night back in 1867, the year of Confederation … but also the year the official Royal Fur Trapper gave thanks for bagging an extra large beaver, which he promptly sold for two double-double coffees from Tim Hortons (yes, they’ve been around that long… but the drive-thru was for canoes only). He immortalized his catch on our nickel. For real.
Ever since that fateful night, Canadians from coast to coast to coast celebrate this weekend by gathering together for a traditional meal of roasted polar bear with a side order of moose antler jelly. Which we eat off the blade of a maple-smoked hockey stick. (Lacrosse stick, if you’re from Nova Scotia.)
It’s a time of reflection. Of giving thanks. For living in a land where love means ALWAYS having to say your sorry. A place where people look out for one another. Which is easy because there are so few of us. A place where surviving brutal winters hasn’t made us hard-hearted but soft headed.
All these things and more are remembered this weekend.
I am grateful for so many things, but wanted to say a special “merci” to all of you who drop by this twisted place, and to Mr. David Archuleta for, well, you know.
Clearly this was about who to bring to the premiere. 🙂 Nice he decided to bring his mom.
I’m sorry but this Shay guy terrifies me, lol.

Think he was hiding for this bit? lol
I think this is my fave… musicians unite!
oh, and this! 🙂
and these!
interesting selfie there, David, lol
“Talented & friendly @davidarchie is a class. He sings #Glorious in #meetthemormons 10/10/14”
It’s official… everyone wants to hug David! 🙂
“Gail Halvorsen sees David Archuleta and immediately gives him a hug. We love these guys! Gail you might recall is the Candybomber, and was also featured in the Mormon Tabernacle Choir’s Christmas Concert in 2012, and last year published his children’s book ‘Christmas From Heaven.'”
David shopping for his premier outfit? 🙂
aaaaaand
excuse the lingo, but I LOL’d at this:
UPDATE:
@DAVIDARCHIE SUPAHSTAH!!!! GLORIOUS UP TO 1 MILLION+ VIEWS!!!
Confession: The first word that popped into my head when I saw this was “fanboy” hahaha.
Seriously though, I just got to hear “When the Son of Man Comes Again” thanks to a most generous, thoughtful, ninja person … (you know who you are and you ROCK!!!!). And yes, of course I will be buying & gifting it like crazy when it eventually, someday is available in my igloo neighbourhood.
Sooooooo.
I admit, it did not grab me in the beginning but as the song builds at the bridge and beyond and he takes off with it as only David can. Wow. Over time, I actually think I’m going to like it even more than Glorious. Why? Because it’s HIS song, you know?
So him, from beginning to end.
Kind of cheesy and predictable at first. Plodding along. Lulling you into a sense of complacency and eye-rolling and then BAM! Seat belts click. Gears shift. Throttle engages.
“Wait, this wasn’t quite the yawn-fest I thought it was going to be… whoa, did not expect him to… Ohmyheck what was THAT??? Now it’s over?? What do you mean it’s over???? *replays*”
But who cares what I think. What do YOU guys think??
p.s.
I played it for my hubs and, no word of a lie, this is what he said, “He should contact his fans pretty soon and tell them what his plan is” hahahahahaha
p.p.s.
And it’s charting! (The idea of David climbing the country charts is blowing my mind right now! 🙂 )

UPDATE!
From: Daniel N Erica Souza: “Dinner with David Archuleta. What a class act.” — at The Roof Restaurant
Sadly, that quote in the caption left out the best part of the story, as unearthed by our intrepid SAz reporters (who interned at TMzed… the Canadian version)… Here’s the rest:
David Archuleta, what a class act.
There was a birthday at his table and as soon as David started to lead the singing of the Happy Birthday song, a hush fell over the room. Eyes glazed over and jello was left jiggling on spoons as his angelic siren song filled the air like a cooling breeze on a blistering day. Spellbound. We were spellbound.
It was so magical, so ethereal that the actual temperature rose in the room. Menus were waved as fans, jackets were peeled off and foreheads were dabbed with lace handkerchiefs. And then another miraculous thing happened.
A sudden eclipse of the sun. Complete darkness for a fraction of a second. Time stood still and everything glided in slow motion as Mr. Archuleta stretched his hand toward his neck. One woman was heard to gasp, “Can this REALLY be happening???” And as God as my witness, yes it was.
His lithe fingers grasped his collar and before gaping mouths and wide eyes he did the impossible. He unclasped his top button.
Was that the MoTab choir I heard singing?
I fought back tears not wanting to miss this momentous occasion.
A thunderous roar erupted in the dining room as people leapt to their feet, cheering and stomping the floor. Tables shook. Glasses tipped over. And yet only the hint of a smile drifted across Mr. Archuleta’s face. His gaze downcast as his famous dimple made the briefest appearance.
A class act, indeed.
As you can see in this video, comedian Tim Allen was on Jimmy Kimmel last night extolling the virtues of one David James Archuleta. (pronounced “Ark-U-letta,” we have been wrong all this time!)
Tim is a crafty one. He pretended that his five-year-old daughter liked D.’s music.
Ha! Tim, we are ON to you.
Here’s the real scoop unearthed by our crack investigative team here at SAz*.
Exhibit A
Tim not only voted for David on Idol, he also… well, check this out:
Exhibit B
Voice-decoding software** reveals that “He’s got a great voice” is code for “I stream Archie Radio throughout my 6,432 room Hollywood mega-mansion.” Am I right, my friends?
Exhibit C
Photos leaked by Edward Snowdon reveal the following:
Tim’s Tumblr:
The inside of Tim’s Home Improvement Dressing Room:
.
His favourite T-shirt:
.
And the cozy room he built just to watch the Glorious video:
Tim, no need to hide behind your daughter. We get you.
Let’s all watch this together again, shall we? *group hug*
p.s.
This is hiLARous!
My faves:
“The overwhelming urge to put your hand on his mouth and say, “NO DAVID. YOU’RE GLORIOUS.”
Wondering how you can let him know that if he can’t find where he belongs, he can always stay at your place.
Wondering if it’s the Spirit or David that’s causing a swelling in your bosom.
A sudden, unexpected desire to see “Meet the Mormons”. #whut
Feeling certain that the piece David was called to play is the hot piece.”
HAHAHAHAHAHA
p.p.s.
BREAKING HAIR-PROGRESS NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
