Future Leaf Rick Nash scored late in the first, set up Kristian Huselius’ tying goal in the third and then fired home the shootout winner as the Blue Jackets beat Pogge and the Leafs. Justin Pogge made back-to-back starts for first time in his career, and he played much better
Yesterday's New York Post had a cartoon by Sean Delonas depicting the author of the stimulus bill as a chimp. There's an outcry today, from Rev. Al Sharpton and others. Here's Sharpton's statement. The cartoon in today's New York Post is troubling at best given the historic racist attacks of
This Saturday I'm planning to catch all five movies nominated for Best Picture at Sunday's Academy Awards. It's AMC's Best Picture Showcase and it kicks off with Milk at 10:30 Saturday morning. I'll be at the Yonge & Dundas AMC here in Toronto. You can order tickets now at
Here are recent comments left on this site you may have missed. All of these comments were left in 2009. From the time I was a kid, the place always had a bit of magic: Dream a little ... fill out a blue-inked, white piece of paper ... and ... ummm ... sometimes you
Recently, Freddie P. wrote about Bill Maher's Religulous. Even though we've advanced in leaps and bounds over the past couple of decades, and much of what religion represents has been exposed as a cover for corruption, greed and much too often sexual assault, Religulous is valuable in the sense that
On November 6, Andy Barrie took an indefinite leave of absence from his duties as host of Metro Morning on CBC Radio One. I heard his sign-off as he told us there were serious health issues in his family right now and he needed to leave his post in order
You've probably seen this already, but it's The Trilogy Meter by a cat named Dan Meth. I think it's spot-on, especially The Godfather one.
I share an MP3 from my collection every Wednesday. You have seven days to grab this week's MP3. Please right-click your mouse and select "Save Link As..." or "Save target as..." so you can download it to your PC before playing. Classified - The Maritimes I've never lived in the
A little over a month ago, I suffered a first degree left shoulder separation. It was my first separated shoulder, and I had no idea how the healing process would go. The doctor told me it would take eight weeks to heal and I could start playing sports again whenever
It seems I caught Justin Pogge at Ricoh just in the nick of time. He's now a cab ride away at the ACC where he started for the Leafs last night. Pogge had another rough game, surrendering three goals in the first period. But this time, he gets to stick
Semi-Pro: 5 out of 10. I saw some pretty weak comedies this Family Day long weekend. Semi-Pro was funnier than Be Kind Rewind, but it barely earned a 5 out of 10. People seem to really like Will Ferrell movies, but I'm always left disappointed. Anchorman: The Legend of Ron
I actually feel sorry for the newspaper industry. I don't know about you, but I read almost all of my news now online and I don't pay a cent for any of it. I want it all, I want it instantly and I want it for free. When people Google
The following comment was left by Bugsy Brown on my recent It's Patrick, He Got Life Insurance entry. Does anyone remember the Oil of Olay commercial... on a ski mountain.Guy spots a lady and says.. "Emerson High, 1975. You were in my class.""I was your teacher.""Miss Fitzhenry?
Be Kind Rewind: 3 out of 10. I strongly discourage you all from giving Be Kind Rewind a shot. The premise may intrigue you, and the presence of Jack Black may cause you to believe it can't be all that bad, but I assure you... it is. I honestly couldn't
It's our second ever Family Day today. Sure, it sounds... made up, but I'll take it. Here are songs in my MP3 collection with the word "family" in the title. Family Reunion - Blink-182Ode to My Family - CranberriesThe Proud Family - Destiny's ChildFamily Business - FugeesFamily Business - Kanye
I'm submitting a song for SLS21 consideration. I'm submitting "Ghetto Love" by Spinnerette. This very cool video, directed by Liam Lynch, features Spinnerette's Brody Dalle. Brody Dalle is no stranger to SLS. Two tunes from her previous band, The Distillers, have previously made the grade.
Pittsburgh actually took a 2-1 lead into the third period before Jason Blake went crazy with a couple of nifty goals 19-seconds apart. It was a great period in which we'd score five goals in total. I'm sorry to see the Penguins mired in such a slump. With the Leafs
Tomorrow night's episode of The Simpsons will include the first full, permanent revamp of the show’s opening titles since its premiere in 1989. The show has moved to high definition widescreen broadcasting which made this change necessary. Here's the new opening.
I took both kids down to Ricoh Coliseum this afternoon to watch the Toronto Marlies take on the Grand Rapids Griffins. We won 5-4, extending our winning streak to three games. The more I'm exposed to this Marlies team, the more I like it. Then again, I'm a die-hard Leaf
I had a great entry idea for Valentine's Day. I was going to list the songs in my collection with "love" in the title. That was the plan, until I did the query. My collection has 1191 songs with "love" in the title. That's over 6 GBs of MP3s and
I've never been a fan of this so-called-holiday. Valentine's Day is yet another marketing ploy, a monument to commercialism. For years I fought it, but after 13-years of marriage, I think I've finally figured it out. Just do it. Yes, it's a stupid holiday, and we shouldn't be forced to
The last hockey game was played at Maple Leaf Gardens ten years ago yesterday. I have a lot of great MLG memories, having seen a number of games there during the 80s and 90s. I kept most of my ticket stubs, and here are some of the older style tickets
Horton Hears a Who!: 7 out of 10. We watched this one with the kids tonight, and it was pretty entertaining. In the book, Horton Hears a Who! seems to be about a speck. In the movie, it seems to be about something greater. The movie seems to be about
