Juniorvanian Armada Augmented¹

With one of these.

Meet "George"

George is a hybrid. I am hoping that means “part car, part robot.”

Transaction closing on Wednesday evening.

To the G8: Boldly Go, Gentlemen!

Every year, the August long weekend is marked by a few of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet in the following fashion: they gather at a cabin on Lake Nipissing to tell lies about the fish they didn’t catch. As an incidental to this purpose, alcohol is consumed.

I have been fortunate enough to join […]

Definition: A Shit Day

It was no big deal; nobody got hurt, or sick, or died today, so it’s not like it was an awful day.

It was, however, a shit day. A day filled with shit. A day in which each and every thing that I did, from the moment I awoke to the thirty-eighth consecutive day of […]

Anton Stralman Traded

Anton Stralman is not now, nor will he ever be, Bobby Orr.

Realistically, Stralman has failed to crack the Leafs lineup over the last two years under either Coach Wilson or Paul Maurice. The Leafs’ defence has been paper thin in this time period. Stralman is not old at 23, but it’s fair to say […]

Someone Stole My Idea, Several Years Before I Had It

Yesterday, Spouse and I were out for a drive in the Big Nickel listening to the local radio (Q92 – they “move more rock than Inco”). Unsurprisingly, after having the radio on for eight minutes, the programming included some Black Sabbath: Iron Man.

Spouse and I were in a bit of a creative mood and […]

A Big Nickel Weekend

Spouse and I are in Sudbury for a few days; I had a meeting to attend here in the Big Nickel on Thursday for work, and she and I have both taken today off to make a long weekend of our drive up so that we can attend a horse show at the barn where […]

Stop the Presses! I Finished a Project!

I Am So Dope.

Since late last week, I’ve been spending a huge amount of time working on a writing project that was due this past Tuesday.

It’s the first time I’ve been commissioned to write something for publication. Naturally, I wanted to make as good an impression as possible, so I promptly missed […]

Portrait of the Artist as a Wrung Man

I have been working all day on a writing project that is due shortly. The “writing process” (by which I mean “staring at the screen wondering what the hell I’ve gottem myself into”) was going painfully slow a bit earlier, so Spouse convinced me to take a break to go into town. We had dry […]

Artist’s Conception

As you may know, an inventory of the benefits accruing to the Canadiens as a result of their recent makeover is being compiled on an ongoing basis. Contributions to the collection continue to be accepted (leave ’em in the comments below, if’n you feel moved to pitch in).

HiR:tb has obtained exclusive photographic evidence of […]

Breaking News: Habs Announce New Logo

HiR:tb’s sources have provided a first look at the Montreal Canadiens’ expected new logo, effective immediately:

Don't know if they're made in trees, but Habs forwards are uncommonly small.
