Let’s not make a scene.

Matthew has a discussion going on about “the scene you hate” in the movies; you know, the one that’s technically inaccurate, or logically inconsistent, or logistically impossible, or some combination of all of these.

There were already over 130 comments when I checked earlier this morning (! – apparently this sort of thing strikes a […]

What I’ve been doing today instead of posting here.

Things are busy at work, and aside from three glorious hours in front of the Patriots/Steelers games last night (I had the game recorded on the DVR, enabling me to charge through all the commercials) the weekend was indeed full of merry-making, festivicating and celebratizing. I was looking forward to sitting down and writing a […]

Keep dancing or you’ll fall off.

Things are crazy busy for me at work right now (like, Unabomber crazy, not just regular crazy), and added on top of all that earning-a-living stuff are some social obligations. Now, Spouse and I are not exactly society page material, but it so happens that this holiday season we have been invited to three Christmas […]

Tom Freakin’ Kurvers, huh?

Damien Cox has written a bit on his blog today, complimentary to his story in today’s Star about “chopping from the top” of Leaf’s management. The essence of the story and blog companion piece is that the Leafs need to hold everyone in management – coach, general manager and team president/C.E.O./mondo fromaggio Richard Peddie – […]

#1 with a Bullet.

There’s been a late breaking (but impressive) bid for a 2007 Darwin award:

Two guys in Florida were fooling around with a loaded 9mm handgun, chucking it back and forth to one another. In doing so, the gun accidentally (though highly predictably) dischaged, with the result that one fellow shot himself in the hand – […]

Coupe Grey 2007

I can’t let the 2007 CFL season pass on without commenting on the upcoming Grey Cup game – next Sunday in Toronto at the Don’t-Call-Me-Skydome-Anymore Rogers Centre.

Obviously, as a Ticats season ticket holder, I would prefer that the Hamiltonians would be present and oski-ing our collective wee wee. It was fairly obvious, however, following […]

Fries and Lord Vader

Eddie Izzard- Death Star Canteen

From my friend (and Taiwanese Heroes in Rehab correspondent) April: the majesty that is Jeff Vader.

On Entertainment.

Favourite moment from the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair Horse Show, this past Friday afternoon: A demonstration of fox hunting was being given in the Ricoh Coliseum before an audience of perhaps seven thousand somewhat bemused spectators in attendance to watch show jumping competitions. The fox hunting demonstration involved several horses ridden by the various guys […]

November 1st has arrived, and with the coming of November is the Royal Winter Fair. Spouse and I are in the Big Smoke to take in the agricultural and equine fesitivites. This is my first time staying in the City as a guest for any protracted length of time since I left in 1998. It […]

About the Chaise Planes

This article is about a guy who emulated possibly the greatest aviation pioneer of them all, Lawnchair Larry.

Buried in the article is a little gem that suggests I have some research to do the next time spouse abandons me (and the wireless notebook) in front of a football game on the TV:

Couch, […]
