Norm Rumack has been with THE FAN since its inception in September 1992, but you won't hear him on THE FAN 590 any longer. Stormin' Norm Rumack has been fired as Rogers-owned stations axed four ad reps, Rumack and an unidentified behind-the-scenes employee. Back in the 90s, when I listened
I got an interesting email from Race Coach the other day. He had a couple of neat stories as to how he won prizes from CFNY / Edge 102. Here's his email. I was thinking it might be interesting to blog about prizes people have won at CFNY, err The Edge.
The Hockey Hall of Fame will unveil this year's selections in about an hour, but I have the exclusive. And it gives me great pleasure to announce that a former Maple Leaf is among the four newest members. The four players selected today are Steve Yzerman, Brett Hull, Luc Robitaille
Billy Red Lyons was 77. He was the Canadian wrestling personality who promoted WWF live events throughout Canada from the mid-1980s through early 1990s, with the phrase “don’tcha dare miss it” becoming a signature ending to his promos. I can't tell you how many times I heard him say
Ed McMahon was 86. He was the longtime pitchman and Johnny Carson sidekick whose "Heeeeeeerre's Johnny!" became a part of the vernacular. Without Ed McMahon's "HIYOOOOOOO!", there would be no Hank Kingsley's "Hey now!". For inspiring one of my favourite television characters, I am eternally grateful.
Part of the reason birthdays lose their lustre as we age is the ding we get from the MTO. The MTO, for those of you who don't live in Ontario, is the Ministry of Transportation for Ontario. I just came back from an MTO office $343 poorer. You see, I
I remember an episode of WKRP in Cincinnati where there was a garbage strike in Cincinnati during a hot summer and Dr. Johnny Fever told his listeners to take their garbage down to City Hall. We're being asked not to do that. 24,000 City of Toronto workers are now
The Dark Knight: 9 out of 10. I'm only a year late on this one. It could be worse. I still haven't seen Doctor Zhivago, and that came out before the Leafs last won the cup. Allow me to report stuff you've probably read a thousand times before. Heath Ledger
61 of you entered to win a lithium-ion grass trimmer / edger from Canadian Tire. Each eligible participant was given a number in the order the comment was left. Then, I asked my wife to pick a number between 1 and 61. She picked 52. That made Rob S. the big
Keyboard Cat's been with us for a while now, but I'm still enjoying Keyboard Cat vids on YouTube. Here's a fantastic Keyboard Cat clip with some Helen Hunt after school special followed by a Hall and Oates video. It's surreal, you have to watch this to get it. That got
I just published a list of Dad and Daddy songs for all the dads out there, and now I've filtered my MP3 collection for songs with "father" in the title. Here are Father songs for Father's Day. The Godfather - B.K.S.Child Is Father Of The Man -
I just filtered my MP3 collection for songs with "dad" in the title. After I pruned the list, removing the many Puff Daddy remixes and dupes, I was left with the following list of Dad and Daddy songs for Father's Day. Daddy - BeyoncéDaddy's Getting Married - Bif NakedGo Daddy-O
In my Edgefest 2009 recap, I promised I'd write further about the massive mudslide that grew from the Downsview Park mud yesterday. I've been to six Edgefests and several Molson Park festival-style gigs, and when you've got acres of field, thousands of youngsters and rain, you get mud. And when
Today is Father's Day, which means the kids piled into my bed way too early to give me hugs, cards and presents they made. I've made the super corny statement in the past that every day is Father's Day for me, but it's true. I've been blessed with the two
I just spent 9 hours on my feet in the mud bowl better known as Downsview Park taking in Edgefest 2009. It was a whole lot of fun. Here are some brief thoughts on the bands I saw. The Arkells Hamilton's Arkells were playing when we arrived, so I missed
If you ever find yourself in Petersburg, Kentucky, you've got to check out the Creation Museum. Thanks to the Creation Museum, I just learnt that our Earth is only 6000 years old and man and dinosaurs once coexisted. Although that contradicts absolutely everything science has taught us, it must be
I still swear by my Firefox browser. I use a portable version of Firefox that's self contained, so it can reside on a USB key. Although Chrome is probably a little faster, I'm pretty attached to my Firefox add-ons. The first Release Candidate build of Firefox 3.5, shipping this
I love reading the comments on this site. I wish more of you would comment more often. Don't be shy, create an alias and stick with it and you'll remain anonymous. Do you really think Argie is an Argie and Elvis is an Elvis? Jason, a.k.a. OJ Boy,
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won the 2009 Iranian presidential election with 62.63% of the popular vote. At least, that's what the "official" results show. Mir-Hossein Mousavi will tell you he had 62.63% of the popular vote. Thousands gathered in protest, and the Iranian government responded by restricting all journalists working
I attended the first TFC match in this 2009 Nutrilife Canadian Championship when we beat the Montreal Impact 1-0. Then, things went south and we came into last night's game needing a win by four or more goals to replace the Vancouver Whitecaps atop the final standings. I don't follow
I played softball tonight for the Piranhas. We won 20-4. I've got two games tomorrow night for Raging Storm. I love playing ball in the summertime. I just searched my MP3 collection for songs with the word "ball" in the title. Then, I discarded songs about a formal gathering and
If you haven't yet entered to win the lithium-ion grass trimmer / edger I'm giving away thanks to Canadian Tire, do it! Think of the odds... there are less than 50 entries right now. These are "draft Sidney Crosby" type odds! Click here and leave a comment revealing how you first
