By junior on May 15, 2009, at 3:47 pm I think the first virtue is to restrain the tongue: he approaches nearest to the Gods, who knows how to be silent, even though he is in the right.

It ain’t a bad plan to keep still occasionally even when you know what you’re talking about.

By junior on August 16, 2008, at 11:03 am Usain Bolt: the guy nearly stumbles coming out of the blocks (dragging his left toe on the first stride), shuts the engine off at about 80m (foregoing a full-power effort for the last 8 strides of what is for him a 42 stride race) and STILL shatters the world record and lays down a 9.69.

By junior on February 18, 2008, at 9:09 pm Dear Lost:
It is with no regret whatsoever that I must inform you that our relationship has come to an end. Now it is time for you to go.
We have been seeing each other – off and on – for about two and a half years now. Oh, I remember well the heady flush […]
By junior on February 13, 2008, at 11:00 pm Spouse and I just finished watching the last two episodes of The Wire (Season 2).
Awesome.
Episode 10 has this one moment, a plot twist that neither of us saw coming in the least until it was happening, and the twist was so sudden and shocking, so enthralling (even though it concerns one of […]
By junior on February 10, 2008, at 6:11 pm It’s been a little busy around here this past week. Spouse and I were away the week before last attending a funeral in Northern Ontario. We got snowed in up there and missed an extra day of work as a result. When we got back to work, a couple of days went by and Spouse […]
By junior on January 17, 2008, at 9:08 pm Can’t stop laughing at a line from Cox Bloc. In a post about a William Houston article suggesting that Hockey Night in Canada ditch the Leafs and televise the Senators instead, Godd Till writes:
Switching out the Leafs also might not go over well with Hockey Night advertisers. The chance to connect with a fanatically […]

At some point, Mike referred to […]
By junior on December 4, 2007, at 10:53 pm Has anyone else noticed a recent trend in the world of television advertising? I know that viewers in different physical locations will see different advertisements, depending upon advertising time sold locally by one’s cable company, but it seems to me that no matter where you are, companies have recently been attempting to beat you into […]
By junior on October 29, 2007, at 12:57 pm As mentioned on the sidebar, one of the sites I occasionally visit – okay, “haunt daily” is defective yeti. Your amiable host at dy is Matthew Baldwin, whose great sense of humour permeates the entire site. He occasionally shares a little bit of his own satirical writing. If you check out the site, be sure […]
