Hey Leafs Fans!

Come down to Yonge-Dundas Square in Toronto on Thursday, October 9 to celebrate the first game of the Toronto Maple Leafs 2008-09 season. There will be an outdoor, big-screen broadcast of the regular season game between the Leafs and the Detroit Red Wings. A lucky fan (19 years and older) will also have the chance to win Seasons Tickets for the 2009-10 Leafs season in the Smirnoff Ice box at Air Canada Centre. The festivities start at 12 noon, so come by for your chance to win and cheer on the Leafs!

P.S. I just looked at their financial statements and, no surprise, learned that they are making money hand over fist. Moreover, I learned that the majority shareholder is the Pritzker family which is one of the wealthiest in the US. Penny Pritzker is a major fundraising organizer for Obama... the things you learn.

These turds followed me around for over a month trying to get me to sign the release. The one-eyed asshole in my studio gave me a hint at how bad it was going to be. I didn't receive a dime BTW.

I've never seen it; everybody I know has and I haven't heard one good word about it.

So, how much of it was funded by the Government of Canada? :)

Thank you so much for the picture of the gouge in the door. You have no idea how much better you just made my project. :) I've been looking for what seems like ages for a picture of it.

This company has scammed too many of us. Does anyone know how to start a class action law suit against Prima World Wide including Vic Wasyluk and Frank Macri? Perhaps we togethar can get some satisfaction, or at least put them out of business.

Hi all,

It's me, Stu. Before I say anything else, I want you all to know that your kind words and support mean the world to me. I am truly humbled (I know..weird choice of words) and I can't put into words how it feels to know I've made a connection with you all and we've never met! Thank you so very much!

My departure from EZ Rock was a business decision (NOT mine) and I have to respect that. I like Howard and Kim, don't know Rick personally but hear that he's a good man, and, of course, I love and miss Colleen each and every day. I also miss sharing stories with all of you and hope that someday soon we'll re-connect over the air again.

I'm on Facebook (just search 'Stu Jeffries'). Please, drop me a line so we can keep in touch, okay?

Thank you again for your kindness. I'm touched beyond words.

A coworker hates the Blue Jays and the Toronto Maple Leafs. When she is on holidays we intend to teach her a lesson and decorate her cubicle with photos of both teams.

I also want to load an mp3 of the Ok Blue Jays song onto her computer and program it so that it starts playing every time she boots up.

Can someone please send me this mp3?

And are there any Toronto Maple Leafs songs that we could do this with too? If so please send me those mp3 files too.

You can email them to acar69@hotmail.com

These are my favorites characters as well, but I would put Tobias as my # 1. He was is one the most underrated actors of our generation. Then Chris, then Vern, then the rest. This was absolutely my favorite show, and I saw all six years when I was 16. It is a masterpiece. Why did you pick the order of the characters that you did? RSVP.

OPRAH ... from spending several years in Jeremiah Wright's anti-American racist church, listening to sermons like "God Damn America", and giving life time achievement awards to the likes of Louis Farrakhan ... to her newest opportunistic religious beliefs ... who could possibly take Oprah seriously? This woman's ego is soooo big, being a billionaire celebrity isn't enough, she has to start her own religion ... not to mention all the additional money she is going to make selling all those book, tapes, CD's, etc. to her poor followers. Oprah's new power hungry ambitions include efforts to replace traditional America with Obama ... and access to a President she puts into office ... to her efforts at replacing Christianity with a new religion she controls. I think it's time for America to deny Oprah access to our television sets.

Hey, Jim is such a great guy. I can't wait to show this web site to him. He will get a kick out of it. Any questions you want to ask him?

I did this once before and I think I'm going to do it again. Here are recent comments left on this site you may have missed. All of these comments were left within the past week.

I am a huge fan of Roger Rick & Marilyn since I moved to GTA 12 years ago. I think the morning show is very funny and they are very real and personable. I will definitely miss Rick Hodge and wish him all the best. I think it's amazing that they've been a winning combination for 21 or 22 years. I have tried to win Breakfast in Barbados but no luck.

The news about Rick comes just as I am trying to recover from the departure of Marilyn from Cityline. I think that she is excellent at radio and TV.

I was wondering what happened to Lauren on the morning show and I haven't heard Sarah Miller and what happened to the Sound Lounge - Corey Kimm and then Chris Biggs?

So many questions. So little time.

The City of Toronto will sometimes provide a free Water Trailer to events if requested (a trailer with 10 taps providing constant free cold tap water). htotogo@toronto.ca The City has 2 of these but could build more if demand is there for this free service.

~ Mark Cooper, Questioning the One Bottle Policy

Hey Mike, you have now made my life complete!!! I remember when I would only listen to this tape and the tape from `93. You definitely should send me every song from `92 and `93 *if you have them* thnx! You rock my blue jays sox!

~ Jess, The Ballad of Tom Henke

For the circumstances, Miller is doing pretty well. There's no way to cut taxes if you need to fund transit and low income housing on top of policing and infrastructure. You could cut the perks, but it wouldn't be close to substantial in savings. Those perks were supposed to cut the risk of bribery and corruption.

It's the same old story time and time again from people who don't have a clue about what it takes to finance and run an urban municipality.

~ A.R., That's My Bush!

Alan Cross and the people who are making decisions at 102.1 the edge are greedy. They are heisting our youth before their eyes and the youth who listen dont even kow it. Since cross's arrival, or lets say within the last 4 years, they play more that twice as many commercials, and they're about as witty as 5 year olds with all the vulgarity of jailbirds....the djs can't even be funny with vulgarity!...fucking losers..the whole fucking station is re-todded!. They look for any way possible to rip off its customers. At edgefest yesterday there was a bout 1 portopottie for 50 people, they were hidden and hard to find as well. The beer section was so small, and you couldnt get in without lining up for 2 hours...a great way to avoid lawsuits!...You couldnt bring in your own umbrella, yet when it rained there was no shelter, you couldnt leave to your car for shelter and re-enter, because there was no re-entry, of course $5 for a small ice cream, the main band was late with no excuse or reason why.....i could go on and on here....Alan Cross, ReTodd, Huble, Booky....You're all fucking greedy, unwitty, and fucking pirates...you are ruining the spirit of this city to fill your own pockets, go fuck your selves, im going to keep traashing your station to everyone I know through this great thing called the internet....assholes!

~ Anonymous, Alan Cross Out As Program Director at Edge 102

Screw Brett. He retired and now he needs to deal with it. You can't go back and forth like this. I hate it when athletes retire and then they really don't retire. So many people with great records come back to tarnish their legacy. Retire with class like Wayne or Ripken. Brett is handling this like a child. Then again most athletes are children.

~ Andrew, Release The Brett

We have the same exact box, which was passed down to me from my cousin, Michael, when my brother and I were young. I now have a daughter, Harriet. We played that music box from the day she was born and it is one of the few things that comfort her, no-fail. We changed the lyrics to accommodate:

My name is Harriet
I've got a chariot
I've got a chariot
Shiny and new
I'm gonna use it
to crush some skulls
That'swhat I'm gonna do

She loves it.

~ Lara, My Name is Michael, I Got a Nickel

Nice post. I chipped in a little for the cause. Make us proud, Mike.

I'm going to try something new this afternoon. Here are recent comments left on this site you may have missed. All of these comments were left within the past week.

I had to play this song for my grade 6 class. We were going to watch a baseball game as a school and no one in my class even heard this song before. Thanks for giving my class the opportunity to hear this song.

~ Ms Allen, OK Blue Jays (Let's Play Ball!)

Okay, why haven't I found your page sooner. Saw Saint Ralph pre-distribution at the Seattle Film Festival and have been trying to find a copy of the movie version of song ever since. If you are still sending these, I would much appreciate a copy.

~ ES Livingston, A Homemade Hallelujah!

rob ford tells it like it is...he might say stupid sh@t some times but he has a good heart and big balls...and mayor Miller is starting to look more and more like the pricipal in that movie Feris Bueller's Day off...what a jerk off

~ jack, My Last Rob Ford Quote

I'm flattered that you would include our tune on Volume 1.

Thanks,

This was weird reading all of these frustrated people's stories regarding Prima. What they say is true. I bought a Prima 30" TV in Jan 2005 for $ 1500.00 from MDG (by the way MDG Computers was useless), since then I have recieved 2 new replacements from Prima and now I am looking for a third replacment in just over 3 years. I have placed 100's of calls into them and to get these results but expect to have to do the same again to get yet another TV replacement, but I dare them not to do so. Its really not about the money any more. I believe the former Employees story above spells the truth about this company. The senior management really doesn't care about the customer.

~ Gordon, My Prima Television Nightmare

I think there were 52-54 episodes. I went to the TVO website and found descriptions of all the episodes and then posted it on Matthew Broszkowski's website forum. I'm also the one that provided him with all the videos :).

On a side note... The show "You can do it" lyrics.

Did you ever dream about the stanley cup and scored the winning goal? You got a 100 hugs from all those lugs while your parents cheered at home. You can do it, yes, yes, Yes your friends can do it. and you can to.

or something like that.

Cheers

I was watching the last season of Gilmore Girls the other night and they made reference to Tokyo Police Club. Here is the script:

ZACK: I was in the frozen foods aisle when I get this call from Graham. You remember Graham.

LANE: From Vapor Rub? Yeah. We saw them play last year at the Mercury Lounge.

ZACK: Yeah, well, great news... They need a new guitarist, and they called me... They're going on a two-month tour this summer, and they want me to join them... and they're totally cool with you and the boys coming along... Just wait. When we're in Philly and D.C., we're going to be opening for Tokyo Police Club.

Just cause I know you would want to know that.......ha,ha.

~ Jill, Tokyo Police Club - Tessellate

I've been listening to Darryl for 28 years now I'm sure, and have always had a desire to see what he sees. I was wondering if there's any possibility that I could co-pilot one of his flights over the GTA, to see how he does what he does so well?

~ Russ King, Russ Holden and Darryl Dahmer

I just had this verse pop into my head out of the blue today. I hadn't thought of it in over 25 years, and even when I was young I didn't know where it originated. I googled it and found this article, and I'm glad you told of the origins. You've solved a mystery for me.

BTW, one other verse I remember goes something like this: My name is Cindy, I found a penny, I found a penny all shiny and new. I'm gonna buy me all sorts of candy, that's what I'm gonna do.

~ michigander, My Name is Michael, I Got a Nickel

Mike, you make Dr. Basrur sound like Winston Churchill during the blitz.

Yeah, she was a calming voice only for people who were completely freaked by the Toronto Sun's pictures of women in facemasks in Beijing.

SARS was and remains an event in Toronto history as overhyped and played by the politicians as the Mississauga Train derailment of 1979.

RIP Dr. Basrur but get a freaking grip on how she calmed us during a "crisis" that existed only in less than one percent of the GTA demographic.
