Thanks a bunch for trying to ruin my day of baseball yesterday. You ultimately failed, but nice try. All was fine in the afternoon. The weather was beautiful, the birds were singing, the drinks were cold, the sounds of children playing echoed through the sunny afternoon air, and my portable radio and I were enjoying …

A Friendly Suggestion For The Folks On The Radio End Of The Home Run Derby
I’ve got a novel idea for you guys. Instead of cutting away and interviewing people every 30 seconds, how’s about oh, I dunno, actually calling the fucking home run derby? Seriously, this radio broadcast is god awful to the point where I might be forced to switch to the TV coverage, and we all know …

Some Weird Ads For Ya
It’s time once again for an episode of what the hell is up with these commercials? This one took us a while to put together, and it has less in it. There’s been this ad campaign pushing Ontario as the place to be. I think it started when we moved into this apartment, because I …
My Interview
Well, on Friday I mentioned I was getting interviewed on CFRU. Here is the result. You can also go to the Royal City Rag website and click on past shows and listen via the little flash player thingy. But since it is encoded as opaque, us screenreader-users can’t click the buttons, so she was kind …
I’m Getting Interviewed On The Radio!

Ernie Harwell, Dead At 92
It was just announced on the Blue Jays game that Ernie Harwell has died at 92. I wrotean entryabout him and what he meant to me last year when he announced that he was suffering from cancer, so I’ll let that say my piece. But there’s already a nice tribute article posted on the USA …
Jesse And Gene Are Back!
Well, they’re back for a few days, anyhow. They’re going to be on Newstalk 1010 CFRB in Toronto tonight, thursday and Friday doing the 7 to 10 PM shift, which is generally the Ryan Doyle Show. They say they’ll be raising money for Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children while they’re there, which is pretty cool. …
More Ads That Make Us Think Too Much
It’s been a while since we’ve written one of these. But we thought we’d compiled enough commercials or slogans to do another one. We saw a commercial for something called “Juicy Juice immunity.” Juicy juice? It’s juice. Shouldn’t it be juicy? If not, it wouldn’t be…juice, would it? I know it’s a product for kids, …
My Access Recognition Awards Radio Ad
I gotta say woohoo, or maybe it’s wheay! You be the judge. We just got some server space from a pretty cool place called BlindFileSharing.com. I just uploaded a file there that just happens to be me doing a radio ad for those Access recognition awards I was talking about before. So if you want …
