Tim Watley converted to Judaism for the jokes. Jerry knew it, we knew it and Watley knew it. Michael Richards seems to have tried to attempt the same Cosmo Kramer-esque scheme, only he got lazy about it and didn't seal the deal. When it came to light last week that
Why can't we beat the Bruins? It probably has something to do with Tim Thomas who seems to save his best for us. Last night he made 45 saves, the little SOB. The Leafs sure are scoring now that Mats Sundin is back. By my count, that's two goals in
Mikael Tellqvist has been traded to the Phoenix Coyotes for Tyson Nash and a fourth-round draft pick. I've already said farewell to Telly. I did it here and I did it here. When it comes to netminders, three's a crowd. Besides, Nash is someone we really, really needed. You can
Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events: 5 out of 10. I found the entire ordeal to be one 108 minute bore. At times I thought Jim Carrey was mildly entertaining, but for the most part I just wished they had let Billy Connolly be funny.
Apparently there's a network in the States called TV Land. I'm not sure if it's available here in Canada, but I am certain their list of the 100 greatest catchphrases in TV is. In fact, here's all one hundred for ya, in alphabetical order. "Aaay" (Fonzie, "Happy Days")"And that's
Larry Henderson was 89. He was the first regular newsreader on CBC-TV's "The National News".
Many feel Mark McGwire will be punished by Hall of Fame voters for his alleged use of steroids. That may be the case, but even without the question of whether he was clean, I don't think he deserves to get in. I don't think he's Hall of Fame worthy. Yes,
On the day of my birth, Foo-Foo was a gift from my great-grandmother, Mary Whelan. I think every child latches on to one stuffed animal as a toddler. My James has his Tom and I had my Foo-Foo. Other toys came and went through the years, but Foo-Foo remained a
Love. It's sought by all. Nothing is more vital to our emotional well being. Love truly is all you need. If a sweet young couple like Kid Rock and Pamela Anderson can't make it work, what hope is there for the rest of us? Love. Kid Rock and Pamela Anderson
The Departed: 8.5 out of 10. If you exclude family movies and the Toronto International Film Festival, I don't think I've seen a movie in an actual movie theatre since "Kill Bill: Volume 2". Until yesterday, that is. "The Departed" was fantastic. It's everything I hoped it would be.
I like today's editorial cartoon by Patrick Corrigan that appeared in the Toronto Star.
Whenever I update my pictures page, I archive older pictures on that page to a second page. Today, this second page refused to rebuild. I believe I've hit some sort of Movable Type limitation with regards to file size. That second pictures page was getting awfully big. Being the genius
"I was in Toronto when they had a severe outbreak of SARS - you know, Severe Asian Racism Syndrome. I was in the airport and there were these big snowboarder guys and they had white masks around their necks, and as soon as they saw me, they put their masks
I hate being right. My prediction following our 7-1 win over Washington on Friday night was a 2-1 loss to the Bruins. It's been that kind of season. Our best player returns and scores the only goal of the game. I happen to believe we'll make the playoffs, but we're
I hope you got out today because I doubt we'll see a weekend as nice for quite a while. The weather was just perfect, warm enough for the kids and I to go on a great walk through Etienne Brule Park. Here's a photoset of pics taken on a journey.
I play in a couple of different slo-pitch leagues each summer, and one is the RSPA. The president of this league is a nice fellow named Randy Warren who just sent me a note. its Randy from RSPAI just printed a new book - an autobiography of Danny Lewicki, who
I just read a nice little write up about who's using what for RSS. RSS has indeed become a key part of my daily routine. I use the Sage add-on for Firefox to manage my feeds and I check them a few times a day. What irks me now are
""Distracted". Now that's a funny word. Does anyone ever get "tracted"? I'll call the suicide hotline and find out."
This is why I cough up an extra $3 every month to those bastards at Rogers. This was a great game for Leafs fans that reminded me of the first game I watched on LeafsTV. I cheered so often, I lost my voice. The second period was particularly impressive when

"Breakfast With Scot" is a movie starring Tom Cavanaugh and currently filming in the GTA. Did I mention Tom Cavanaugh is playing an ex-Toronto Maple Leaf who just happens to be gay? The NHL and Maple Leafs have blessed the project which means Cavanaugh will be wearing an official Leafs
Anita O'Day was 87. Her sassy renditions of "Honeysuckle Rose," "Sweet Georgia Brown" and other song standards made her one of the most respected jazz vocalists of the 1940s and '50s.
A few things have been banging around in my head and I haven't had a chance to commit the thoughts to blogification, so this is a smorgasbord. 1) Prime Minister Stephen Harper has stated the Quebecois form a nation within Canada. Does that actually mean anything? Considering Quebec is not
I don't watch a lot of television. I watch every Leaf game and any decent flicks that make their way to TMN, but not a lot of television proper. A couple of shows I do watch, "Rescue Me" and "Weeds", concluded their seasons this month leaving me with "Dexter", "Studio
