It's been a while since I've thrown something in the Kids Say the Darndest Things pot. Here's an exchange James and I shared last night. James: Daddy, what's 100 + 100? Daddy: 200! James: Nope... it's 2000. Daddy: 100 + 100 is 200. James: Actually, you're wrong. It's 2000. Daddy: Who told
I loved the first two seasons of The Ren and Stimpy show that aired on MuchMusic back in the early 90s. I used to record the episodes and watch them over and over and over again. Space Madness, Ren's Toothache, Rubber Nipple Salesman and Sven Hoek were classics from Canadian
Buffalo won last night, just to give ABO a little sliver of hope. After they win the next two I'll start to believe again. Let me know, k? As for this ridiculous chatter about Ottawa being Canada's team, that's the biggest load of bologna I've heard in quite some time.
In case you're new to the party, I'm on a quest to come up with a definitive list of the 100 best Canadian tunes of all-time. To make our lives easier, I've created a new category to collect these entries. I've also made another minor adjustment. I'm now pulling ten
I'm submitting a new song for SLS17 consideration. I'm submitting "Icky Thump" from The White Stripes. It's such a funky track you've got to give this a couple of listens before you judge it. This is some fan made vid, but it's all about the audio anyway.

Last Tuesday, I went out after my run to celebrate the conclusion of my Learn to Run clinic. At about 11pm that night, I decided to record the West coast feed of American Idol to watch when I had an hour of chill time. That's right kids, I own something
I was in the money until some point last night when Holmstrom put his third point of the night on the board for Detroit and my little brother Steve caught me. It wasn't going to be much money, Ryan's taking home the big cheque, but it's still a tank of
I'm on a quest to come up with a definitive list of the 100 best Canadian tunes of all-time. Every couple of days I'm dumping ten great Canadian songs and inviting you to suggest Canadian classics in the comments. On July 1, I'll unveil the top 100. Here's the first
It all started with an email from Jim. Canada Day is coming up fast. I have never heard of a radio station collecting votes for the best Canadian songs of all time. And of course most of them would be restricted by their own formats (e.g. The Edge doesn't
I'm submitting a new song for SLS17 consideration. I'm submitting the Arctic Monkey's "Brianstorm". It's a cool track. Here's the vid so you can hear for yourself.
Jerry Falwell was 73. He was the leader of the religious right who battled in the political arena against abortion and homosexuality. He was also a evil bigot who preached hateful things and uttered disgusting phrases like this gem: "AIDS is not just God's punishment for homosexuals; it is God's
This past week, I've had an internal debate about which event would be more upsetting: an NBA championship for Vince Carter's Nets or a Stanley Cup championship for the Ottawa Senators. These are two events that I'm passionately rooting against, but if I had to pick my poison, I'd rather
Raging Storm, listen up. This is Cito talking. We pulled more than a few boners last night. The fact we were tied in the bottom of the last inning is rather flattering. We have met the enemy, and the enemy is us. We're the only team that's going to beat
With ABO down 3 games to 0, I've come up with a great new outlook that will make us all happy here in Leafsland. Let the babies have their bottle. For the rest of the story, visit http://www.torontomike.com/2007hockeypool.html.
I took this photo at the Dundas Street Grill on Saturday during a Mother's Day brunch for Taryn. This is my new favourite picture in the entire world. Damn, this picture is killing me. It's my Kryptonite. If you ever need to calm me down, show me this and I'll
I recently wrote about the lack of action thus far in the final season of The Sopranos. I was giving episodes titles like "Tony Plays Monopoly" and "Tony Goes Fishing", because not much more happened. I'm happy to report that something finally happened last night. There's only a few episodes
Stranger Than Fiction: 5.5 out of 10. It's quite possible this movie went right over my head. It wouldn't be the first time I didn't get a movie others have raved about. Throughout this film, I kept thinking about the similar but far superior "Adaptation," and wished I was
Ryan, I humbly apologize for the delay in updating this site. I experienced server issues this morning that threw Toronto Mike off course. Yes, you're still winning, you're going to win by a mile and you're very handsome. For the rest of the story, visit http://www.torontomike.com/2007hockeypool.

I caught my first game of this tournament this afternoon, and we looked great. We beat Finland 4-2 to win our third gold at the event in the past five years. With Finland clawing back with a couple of goals in the third, Rick Nash scored a fantastic goal on
I ran Biovail's "The Hazel" 5K yesterday, my first race of any kind since primary school. It was the first notch in my marathon belt as I seek to transform an out of shape me into an in shape dude who can finish a marathon. It was a blast. I
Quick, name the people who would drop everything to do whatever they could to help you if you needed them. That's a short list. Now name the people who love you unconditionally and always will. That's an even shorter list. Moms rule. Here's my mom during the Elyse Keaton years.
