Today's entry on Paved mentioned the Chapters store on Bloor near Runnymede. I remember the local controversy when that Chapters was being built because it was assuming the location held by the much beloved Runnymede Theatre. Just thinking about the old Runnymede Theatre brings back a tonne of memories. Growing
Anyone is welcome to submit a Guest Blog Entry to torontomike.com. I received the following entry earlier today. Barry Bonds equalled Babe Ruth's record for home runs today - but who really cares. His accomplishment is shroudedBarry is also an AHOLE towards fans & the media which is why
Team America: World Police: 7.5 out of 10. It's funny, but I've never really taken to "South Park". I've probably only seen a few complete episodes in my life and I've never felt compelled to ensure I see more. I find this funny because I absolutely loved "South Park:
Us hockey fans have a conflict this afternoon. At 1:00 pm TSN is airing Carolina vs. Buffalo. That's a no-brainer, they have to air the NHL playoffs live, but they have the rights to the IIHF Semifinal between Canada and Sweden at the same time. They plan to air
Even if I hated Pearl Jam's music, I'd love the band. You can't deny the fact these guys get what it means to be a fan better than any other rock outfit on the planet. There was the free download of World Wide Suicide, the high quality DRM-free official bootlegs,
At this point in the season, so much is about momentum. Edmonton rolled right into round three and took game on from the Ducks who had quite a bit of time off. I really like the Oil in this series. Yes, I now call them the Oil. Oilers is so
"Hey, what's the big deal about going to some building every Sunday? I mean, isn't God everywhere?"
The title of this entry is a little deceiving. It wasn't I but Zanta who received a front page post on MetaFilter earlier today. The second link of this FPP is to a Flickr search for Zanta and the first picture you see (as of this moment) was taken by
10 Things I Hate About Commandments - Imagine "The Ten Commandments" as a teen comedy. Now, imagine the trailer. This is damn funny, I swear.

If you believe this article on SI.com, Ricky Williams could very well be a Toronto Argonaut as soon as Monday. Apparently, the Miami Dolphins are set to give the suspended running back permission to sign a one-year deal with the Argos on the understanding that he would be released
It's been raining all week. It rained yesterday, it rained today and it will rain tomorrow. As seen on Breakfast Television, I've already covered the "rain" songs in my collection. Tonight I'm checking out "thunder" songs. Thunderstruck - AC~DCThundering Hearts - John MellencampThunder Road - Bruce SpringsteenThunder Kiss '65
I just remembered that there's more to providing music for a wedding than assembling a list of 100 appropriate but cool tunes. I've actually got to burn these tunes on disc to play at Steve's wedding that's fast approaching. I'm going to burn the disc Tuesday with the final list
On the heels of The Great Female Walk Debate comes The Great Stats Debate. In previous Raging Storm seasons, we've kept offensive statistics. Here's the 2005 page and the 2004 page as examples. This season, we're debating whether to continue this practice. Some believe it puts too much pressure on
Dan Ross was 49. He set the record for most Super Bowl receptions with the Cincinnati Bengals in 1982.
How many of you predicted last fall that the final four would consist of Buffalo, Carolina, Anaheim and Edmonton? If you just raised your hand and shouted "me!", you're a damn liar. Lies make baby Jesus cry, please make that the last lie you ever tell. I'm rooting for a
Milinkito :: El que tuvo, YouTube : 'Los Ochenta' - Don't understand that title? That's okay, neither do I. But I do know this web page has links to dozens and dozens of 80s music videos. Many of these take me back, like XTC's "Dear God", Love And Rockets' "So Alive", Duran
At 4:00 pm, it didn't look good for tonight's game. It was pouring, there was lightning in the air and the weather forecast wasn't promising. As I approached the ball park near Derry Road and Goreway it was as if the clouds parted for us. The rain was gone,

I'm well on my way to becoming a silver fox. Today's Toronto Star article entitled "Grey Matters' remarks upon how men going grey prematurely have stopped fighting Mother Nature. Their prime examples are Anderson Cooper and American Idol contestant Taylor Hicks who both went quite grey quite young and didn't
The Waterfront Revitalization Corp. has unveiled the top five redesign concepts for a Toronto waterfront that would be more accessible to residents and visitors. Construction of the winning design is set to begin in the fall. I've spent the past couple of days working at 1 Yonge Street and to
My Flesh and Blood: 8.5 out of 10. I caught part of this documentary late last year but only watched it in its entirety this year. Susan Tom is the mother of 11 adopted special needs children and we're given a peak at a year in their life. I
TV Cream Themes - Hot damn, a whole bunch of TV show theme songs in MP3 format. Go get 'em!
Deciding to completely ignore my plea, Doug Flutie has called it a career. They list him at 5-foot-10, but there's no way he's that tall. 5-feet-8 would probably be closer to the truth. What he lacked in stature he more than made up for in heart. The highlights break nicely
