We already knew Lynn Johnston was freezing the For Better or For Worse characters' ages next fall, but we now have more details. The strip isn't actually being retired, there will be new material that would include revisiting storylines from the past and expanding on them. Everyone will stop aging,
Reports are blaming this loss on a trip the Hurricanes took to the Hockey Hall of Fame. Apparently, after watching a video of their Stanley Cup win, they were highly motivated and ready to play like champions once more. I'm blaming this loss on the fact we're not a great
I get a lot of visits from people Googling wedding playlists. I'm number one for that search and apparently engaged couples everywhere are looking for an ideal mix of music. The entry that's got me so highly ranked is 100 Wedding Songs which features the tunes I picked for my
It's official. Mark McGwire only received 23.5% support from eligible members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. That's far short of the 75% he required to enter the Hall of Fame. Of course, I already announced McGwire wasn't Cooperstown bound back in November, so don't sound so surprised.
They recently added a new ring to the Stanley Cup for the Carolina Hurricanes and future cup winners, and that meant they had to remove a ring to make room. The ring they just removed included the Leafs' championship wins of 1942, 1945, 1947, 1948, 1949 and 1951. That's right,
Iwao Takamoto was 81. His creation of Scooby-Doo, the cowardly dog with an adventurous heart, captivated audiences and endured for generations.
It was a strange day for news. First there was that gas-like odour spooking residents of New York City. Then there were bird deaths in Austin that had the police shutting down ten blocks downtown. Then, there was that package in Miami that gave the area its second terrorism scare
My brother Ryan just sent me the following email and asked me to share it with you all. During the Christmas Season I met with my two brothers and had Mike burn a disc full of some nice tunes. I have always been a big Music/Sports Fan. But over
I just wrote about wrapping up season eight of The Simpsons on DVD. Since I mentioned it, I thought I'd reveal my Simpsons DVD watching routine. When a new season enters the home, I watch each episode twice. I watch it once with James and Michelle the way it was
When season eight of The Simpsons originally aired, I remember being amused but realizing that the glory days were long gone. I was still watching but I was looking back to the first five seasons wishing some things had never changed. I just finished season eight on DVD and I
10 kick ass opening credit sequences - This guy put together a pretty good collection of the best credit sequences you can find in film today. Many of my favourites made the list, including this credit sequence from Fight Club.
A trend has developed. Whenever we annihilate an opponent, we lose the next game. To be more specific, we are now 0-4 following games in which we won by more than four goals. How's that for riding momentum? The kids are alright, but alright doesn't earn you a berth in
I just submitted a tune for SLS17 consideration. I submitted "Fallen Leaves" from Billy Talent. My brother Steve and I recently had a Billy Talent debate. He's tired of their sound and not digging them anymore while I'm still feeling it. "Fallen Leaves", for example, is another catchy rocker that
Movie Spider - Don't tell anyone, k?
In case you missed this Ales Hemsky goal to tie things up between the Oilers and Stars the other night, take a look at this. It's unbelievable. Somehow Patrik Stefan missed an empty netter and remarkably the Oil got the puck up ice where Hemsky made a wicked move with
The first concert I ever attended was Chalk Circle at the Ontario Place Forum. I couldn't tell you the year, but I'm guessing it was 1986 or 1987. The Ontario Place Forum was pretty cool at the time for two reasons. They had a revolving stage and admission was free
Reading the Globe this morning, I stumbled across a little bit about Zyzzyx Road. I'm still having difficulty believing what I've read. Zyzzyx Road is a $2-million vigilante thriller starring Katherine Heigl and Tom Sizemore that grossed a grand total of $30 at the box office in 2006. It ran
"Marge, I agree with you - in theory. In theory, Communism works. In theory."

Checking out this weeks flyers I see Kraft Dinner is now 2/94¢ at Wal*Mart. Even my alma matter Price Chopper has them two for a dollar. This is a far cry from the 97¢ a box I've been seeing for the past few years. When I was in
Canada won its third straight gold medal at the world junior championship with a 4-2 win over Russia on Friday in Leksand, Sweden. Canada got goals from Andrew Cogliano, Bryan Little, Jonathan Toews and Brad Marchand to overcome the Russians. Not only is this our third gold in a row,
We haven't scored that many goals in a game since 1998. Alex Steen had a good month last night notching a hat trick and adding a couple of assists in a game that makes me feel great about shelling out a few bucks a month for LeafsTV. Like you, I'm
It's 11° right now in Toronto. Are you kidding me? With the sun beaming down, I just enjoyed a warm walk. I can't believe this is January. Tomorrow, it might get even warmer. Here's a photo I just snapped of picnic tables in Queen's Park. It's springtime folks. Get out
The older I get, the more I find myself listening to Neil Young. I first really got into Neil Young in 1989 when "Rockin' in the Free World" broke on Q107. Prior to that, I was only familiar with Neil Young's classic hits like "Heart of Gold", "Ohio" and "Old
Earl Reibel was 76. He made headlines in 1955 when he bested then Detroit Red Wings teammate Gordie Howe in scoring.
