Watch Every Episode of The Simpsons, Ever - I don't mean to go heavy on Simpsons links this morning, but season 19 premieres tonight and you might want to catch up on what you've missed thus far. I nominate this one for best link of 2007.
Simpsons Scenes and their Reference Movies - As a Simpsons fan and movie fan, I love this collection of 66 scenes from The Simpsons beside the movie scene to which they refer. Now someone just needs to add a column for movie name...
Marcel Marceau was 84. He was the world's best-known mime artist who for decades moved audiences around the world without uttering a single word.
Alice Ghostley was 81. She was the Tony Award-winning actress best known on television for playing Esmeralda on "Bewitched" and Bernice on "Designing Women."
"And here I am using my own lungs like a sucker."
I remember in grade five a nerd in gifted offering to copy some of his Commodore 64 games for me to take home. I couldn't believe he could copy the video game onto a floppy disc for me and I'd have the game for free. My first brush with piracy
Despite what Dubya may have heard, Nelson Mandela is still alive. In a speech defending his administration's Iraq policy, Bush said former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's brutality had made it impossible for a unifying leader to emerge and stop the sectarian violence that has engulfed the Middle Eastern nation."I
Remember when I wrote that entry about Crocs? Slate.com linked to it and credited me with coining the term "Croc Conundrum". Soon thereafter, I was getting calls from CBC Radio and was gaining recognition as a Crocs expert. That's still the case. A journalism student at The University of
I was watching last night when Vesa Toskala allowed the first shot he faced to end up in the net. Not long after, another weak shot was in the mesh. Vesa Toskala's Maple Leafs debut was weak, but we must hold our fire. We'll need our ammo for when it

I don't know who or what a Sherri Shepherd is, but I respect her Aristotlean opinion that the earth may be as flat as a pancake. She's as ignorant as Jimmy's crazy friend who says it's wrong to eat meat, but she's entitled to be as loony as she wants
Most people in Ontario who go to the polls will know who they're voting for, or at least which party they're voting for, but how many will be ready for the referendum? Are you ready for the referendum for an electoral system? The Question Which electoral system should Ontario use
It's happening. At this moment $1 USD will buy you $1.0012 CAD. This hasn't happened since November 1976 when I was in diapers.
A web site called Cinema Blend ranked their top 5 grunge albums, and as a product of the grunge outbreak of the early 90s, I read with great interest. I'm not going to analyze their rankings, which includes a rather surprising number one, I'd just like to state how much
I learnt a valuable lesson last night. With my ball game scheduled for 9:30pm, I decided to run hills with the 10k clinic at 6:30pm. We run the 2k loop in High Park and then the steep Spring Road hill five times before running the 2k loop again
Inspired by Mr. T's profound words, we in Raging Storm played one helluva ball game last night. It was do-or-die playoff ball, and we beat RobArts Rage 19-14 to advance to the finals Monday night. I told you this was the best team we ever fielded. With only the S&
I heard someone mention The Barracuda on CFNY this morning. In the mid-90s I used to frequent The Barracuda at 21 Scollard Street near Yonge and Bloor, usually on Thursday nights. As I recall, Monday nights were Phoenix nights and Thursday nights were Barracuda nights. The allure was the fact
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. The Tragically Hip - Pretend World Container was a
I caught a good chunk of the Maple Leafs preseason opener last night against Edmonton. I basically watched until I switched over to Rescue Me at 10 and it wasn't the easy viewin' I'm used to at this point in the season. It was tough to watch, and it's all
I just watched video of University of Florida police officers using an electronic stun gun to subdue Andrew Meyer who was questioning Senator John Kerry at a campus forum. The video is so disturbing I'm sorry I viewed it. Meyer was asking a question, didn't threaten Kerry at all, and
Check out this magic moment from the Mets ~ Braves game. I've never seen this happen and I doubt we'll see it again.
In about 24 hours I'll be preparing for the third game in our best of three slo-pitch semi-final series against RobArts Rage. This is a season I wish could keep going. I think our 2007 campaign, well documented here, is our most fun season to date. I've never liked the
You know that Good Housekeeping seal of approval? I look at HBO as such a seal. If a television show belongs to HBO, I'll give it a good shot because it's highly likely I'm not just going to enjoy the show but I'm going to love it. This year alone
Freddie P just wrote about my Political Apathy entry from last week. In his entry of the same name, he says my entry made him sad. Here's what he wrote. Every day I check in with several blogs and among those I enjoy very much is Toronto Mike.Mike has
More than 8.9 million accounts have been registered with Second Life, the Internet-based virtual world that gained serious steam about a year ago. That means a whole bunch of us are living as avatars in this other "world". I must confess, I have absolutely no interest in Second Life.
