During a sadly uninspired Treehouse of Horrors episode of The Simpsons last night, Homer was a green blob eating people. After devouring Dr. Phil he remarked that Dr. Phil tasted exactly like Jeffrey Tambor. That's what I say!

I was just reading about the Curse of Muldoon. The Blackhawks haven't won the Stanley Cup since 1961 and they're blaming Pete Muldoon and a curse he put on the club back in 1927. That's their excuse for having the longest cup-less drought in NHL history. Guess who's #2? The
That was a great game. While most of you settled in for an afternoon of NFL football, I watched the Toronto Argonauts host the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the East Division semifinal. Down 27-17 midway through the fourth quarter, Michael Bishop came off the bench to bring us all the
Did you know there is a municipal election here next week? You've probably seen the signs on lawns and green space throughout the 416. You might even know the names of David Miller's challengers. We're going to the polls next Monday so add that to your Google calendar. Exactly three
Who says we can't win in Buffalo? Last night we spanked the Sabres, becoming the first team to beat them in regulation all season. This game was a pleasure to watch. Mats Sundin was awesome, young Ian White was flying, Jeff O'Neill and Darcy Tucker were scoring, the entire team

I just searched my blog for instances of the word Mitsou and I was shocked there are none. How is it I've never dropped the word "Mitsou" once? Her video for "Bye Bye Mon Cowboy" had me day dreaming as a fourteen year old. It was an instant crush. The
How many 32 year old Torontonians have never been to Chuck E. Cheese? Until today, I was counted amongst those who had never had the privilege. Before you shake your head and wonder how it is I went over three decades without such an experience I should point out that
A History of Violence: 7.5 out of 10. David Cronenberg has pieced together a thought provoking film in "A History of Violence". With great performances by Viggo Mortensen, Maria Bello, William Hurt and Ed Harris, the question of natural born killers and innate violent tendencies is raised with spirit.
I launched the Guest Blog service on November 16, 2003. At the time, this site was hand-coded without any CMS, and comments weren't accepted. A Guest Blog was an easy way to promote a sense of interaction. If you had something to say, you could say it. Now that this
"Marge, it's 3am. Shouldn't you be baking?"
I just submitted a tune for SLS16 consideration. I submitted "Fidelity" from Regina Spektor. I think I've fallen in love with her voice. You can hear "Fidelity" on her MySpace page.
It appears I've been nominated for Best Personal Blog at the Canadian Blog Awards. Actually, I see dozens of nominations, and considering how few Canadians blog, it seems all blogs have been nominated. I was nominated for Best Culture Blog last year. Have I gone from Culture to Personal. Believe
My favourite quotes from The Big Lebowski "Hey! Watch it man, there's a beverage here." - The Dude"Let me explain something to you; I am not Mr. Lebowski. You're Mr. Lebowski. I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me. You know, that or uh, His Dudeness, or uh,
Rats, the winning streak's over. We were badly outplayed last night and I just feel sorry for the suckers who coughed up $10 to watch it on the big screen. Believe it or not, this was Jean-Sebastien Aubin's first loss as a Toronto Maple Leaf. He's now 10-1-3. He played
I just learned my four year old son has a friend named Honour. Hearing that took me back about three decades when I too had a friend named Honour. Honour was one of my three imaginary friends. A few years ago I opened up about Honour, Grrr and Lion, three
When I look back at the early days of MuchMusic, there are certain videos that immediately spring to mind. One such video is for Gowan's "A Criminal Mind". But first, let's review where we've been. Michael Jackson's "Thriller"Godley & Creme's "Cry"Cyndi Lauper's "The Goonies 'R' Good Enough"A-Ha's
William Styron was 81. His 1979 novel "Sophie's Choice" was made into an acclaimed film and he won a Pulitzer Prize for "The Confessions of Nat Turner".
We're a day and ten minutes away from the deadline to submit our bid to host the 2015 World Expo. You've no doubt been hearing and reading about this all week, but do you actually give a damn? I couldn't tell you who hosted any World Expo since '86 when
That's three in a row! Back in September I openly wondered who would score on this team. I predicted we'd get a bunch of goals from the blueline. Until recently, I was very wrong. But now, the blue line is leading the charge thanks to Tomas Kaberle's fifth goal in
NHL on Google Video - This is HUGE. The NHL has announced a multi-year deal to provide NHL video content to Google Video. We'll see where this goes, but the premise is outstanding.
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. Feist - Mushaboom (Postal Service Remix) We've all heard
Anyone is welcome to submit a Guest Blog Entry to torontomike.com. I received the following entry earlier today. Hey the Maple Leafs seem to have picked up speed and are ready to take a crack at the playoffs! It seems to be a lot more exciting than last year
P.W. Botha was 90. He was the apartheid-era president who led South Africa through its worst racial violence and deepest international isolation.
This fall I started watching two new shows. One is "Dexter", a great cable show about a serial killer that stars David from "Six Feet Under". The other is the doomed "Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip", Aaron Sorkin's new series for NBC about the production of an SNL-like show.
