"I hope he tells us to burn our pants, these things are driving me nuts."

Steve Rodehutskors was 43. He was a CFL offensive lineman who won two Grey Cups with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
If you've been reading this blog for a while, you'll know I've been sort of proud of the fact I've never owned a mobile phone. I was almost given a phone just for blogging about it, but I turned it down. The iPhone piqued my interest, but it's not yet
Here are the highest-grossing horror movies of all-time JawsThe ExorcistThe Sixth SenseHouse of WaxPsycho
He may not be John Tavares, but unlike John Taveres, Jiri Tlusty is a Toronto Maple Leaf in the here and now and last night the teenager scored a pair in his NHL debut. I won't blow your mind with how his stats will look when he finishes his twenty
For the first time in almost six years, we recently became a diaper-free household. Michelle is all about the underwear now and that means no more Huggies or Pampers or whatever on our weekly grocery list. If all goes according to plan, the next time I buy diapers they'll be
Speaking of Repo! The Genetic Opera!, here's the trailer for the film which will hit theatres April 25, 2008. I wonder if HH can score me tix to the premiere. It might be my last best chance to hook up with a heiress to the Hilton millions.
Jiri Tlusty, the only teenager in the Maple Leafs farm system, will make his NHL debut tonight against the Penguins. He was selected in the first round of the 2006 NHL Entry Draft and, other than Justin Pogge, is the only half-decent prospect we have. This fact leads to a
If you Google prima television, an entry I wrote about my Prima telvision nightmare is ranked on the first results page. Click on over, read the entry and the 24 responses and tell me if you'd buy a Prima television. Matt conducted this exact Google search earlier today and then
Humble Howard Glassman and I were just chatting, and he spilt a few more beans about his role in Repo! The Genetic Opera!. Repo! The Genetic Opera! is currently filming here in Toronto and is some sort of a funky horror/musical hybrid. The plot outline on the IMDB page
I don't know Lori, but she seems to have me all figured out. She likes it when I delve into the dusty corners of my 33 year old mind to come up with old shows I remember. That stuff really appeals to Ontarians born in the mid-70s, I've noticed. Lori
On the fifteenth anniversary of our first World Series title, I'm feeling awfully nostalgic. I just shared the story of how I spent that night, and now it's time to share some audio and video from a historic night in Toronto baseball history. First, we must never forget the call
We're still a small group, but we're growing. You can join in if you like. We're running 6k every Tuesday, 10k every Wednesday and a long distance every Sunday that will increase by a km each week. Got that? There will be a quiz. The clinics are good, but I'm
I can't believe it's been fifteen years. I also can't believe I've written 6678 entries but I've never written about that October 24, 1992 night... until now. I prayed at the alter of Blue Jays baseball. I watched or listened to every game, I celebrated the first pennant in 1985
I just got back from Walmart. I was there to buy a kettle, but on my way to the small appliances I passed a wall of Kraft Dinner. I was hit with sticker shot because Walmart now wants $1.16 for a box of regular Kraft Dinner. I previously issued
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. Sarah Polley- Courage Ten days ago I a wrote
I'm actually relieved we salvaged a point at home against the worst team in the conference. That fact tells you all you need to know about this edition of our Toronto Maple Leafs. We're not very good. In our division, we're only ahead of the Sabres who have played three
The 25 Greatest Moments from "The Office" - All the best scenes, from Dwight's Mussolini speech to "green is whorish". I was very pleased to see this great little scene come in at #2.
I have an important message for my Roman Catholic friends, especially my Roman Catholic friends across Latin America. I just got off the phone with Pope Benny, and he told me something I have to share with you all. He says it's okay to use condoms. I realize the official
I've been running since March and I'd like to keep going. There's a Chilly 1/2 Marathon in Burlington on March 2nd I've got my eye on and I'd like to train for that. If you think you may want to join in the training fun and run with me
Everyone's Hero: 5 out of 10. Tonight I was looking for a flick to watch with the kids when I rolled the dice and went with "Everyone's Hero". If you've never heard of it, and I certainly hadn't, it's about a kid who has to get Babe Ruth back his
I've had an interesting relationship with Microsoft. Whenever possible, I've actively seeked Microsoft alternatives, but when it comes to the OS I've always ended up with a version of Windows. I love the spirit of Ubuntu Linux, but I'm still running Windows as my primary operating system. Here's my personal
Brace yourselves fellow Leafs fans, there's word at this hour that Darcy Tucker will be sidelined for an undetermined period of time with a knee injury. In typical Maple Leaf fashion, that's all the information we have right now. We don't know when Tucker hurt the knee, whether it's the
Last Saturday, while I ran with the giraffes, my wife and kids boarded a plane to spend a week at my mother-in-law's boyfriend's son's condo in Scottsdale, Arizona. I picked them up at the airport last night, thus ending 8 days of bachelorhood. Here's a collection of thoughts and observations
This is a neat little clip from Real Time with Bill Maher. What I find fascinating is that there's this group of people out there who believe so strongly that 9/11 was staged they're willing to protest. Of course, there are Holocaust deniers and people who think the moon
