Really want to ride the zamboni. #thatcode<\/em> We’re guessing Craig must be a Sharks fan, given his adventure in the Caribbean last summer.\r\n\r\nJosh Robert Thompson<\/strong> mentioned on his Twitter account that he’d like to be the new voice of the AFLAC duck:\u00c2\u00a0 Operation: Replace the AFLAC duck is underway!
