I realize it was two days ago, but ever since I saw the guy again I can’t get this damn song out of my head, so…I must ask. Am I the only one (especially among Canadians) who thinks of this fine man whenever Tommy Hunter is pitching? It seems impossible that I could be, but …

A Gold Medal In Security Theatre Foolishness
So…does this seem ridiculous as all getout to anybody else, or am I a man on a dangerously unsecured island here? LONDON — Surface-to-air missiles could be stationed on the rooftops of an apartment block in east London as part of Britain’s air defences for the Olympics, the country’s military confirmed Sunday. Around 700 people …

I Went To A Ball Game And Did Some Other Stuff
Before I say another word, I seriously just watched John Cena beat Brock Lesnar at Extreme Rules. No really, that happened. Don’t ask me *why* it happened, but it happened. I guess I have to allow for the idea that this might be going somewhere and is part of a larger story, but this is …

A Post To Break Up The Sadness And Kinda Sorta Wish A Friend Good Luck
I disappeared for a few days and then came back with two posts full of sadness. Sadness is part of life, but we can’t be sad all the time. So to lighten the mood, here’s a video of Levon Helm being awesome. I would also like to take a moment to wish Ro and her …

Do Not Use Borat For Research
Ya know, in my old story about the blunder in the Croatian national anthem where an opera singer belted out a line about having a penis that was a mountain, I said that if something laughable happens during the singing of the national anthem, we should just laugh it off. Well, in the case of …
More Thoughts On The Leafs And Goaltenders
In my last post, I talked a bit about the Leafs and their goaltender issues. I said I wasn’t quite sure what the problem is, but I think Mike Brophy nailed a good part of it in this piece. It’s partly coaching, but my biggest problem has been with consistency, which I suppose makes it …

Getting Back On Track…?
Would you look at that, I’ve decided to crawl out of my hole and post something! And what a suckass hole it is, I must say. The things that put me into said hole are thankfully getting better, which is great. but as that situation improves, dealing with it has caught up to me in …
When Being A Baby Isn’t Really Being A Baby
Kerry Fraser might be the enemy of Leafs fans everywhere for blowing that call in 1993 and costing the team a trip to the Cup final, but I’ll give credit where it’s due. Guy writes some pretty informative stuff for TSN these days. I just came across this one while catching up on some reading …

I DON’T LIKE THE CUBS!
I don’t have a kid, but if I did or got tasked with buying a present for one, this is totally something I would do.
It’s The Occupy VC Cast
Well, it is here. The Occupy VC Cast, the Occucast, whatever you want to call it, it’s here…and it’s about to occupy about 2 hours of your time. It would be awesome if you found it 99% funny. We divided it into 4 parts. It would have been only 3, but well, ya see, I’m …
