Done

We're done.  In my heart of hearts I thought there might be a chance had we upset Ottawa last night and Montreal lost to Tampa Bay, but neither happened and now I'm certain we're done.  I haven't been this disappointed in a team's effort since Turin.  I'm sure there's a

Murderball

Murderball: 8.5 out of 10. When A&E aired "Murderball" the other night, I taped it and watched it this afternoon.  It's nominated for best documentary feature and I wanted to check it out before tomorrow night's Academy Awards. It's great.  I love documentaries like this that inspire

Cowabunga

I closed my last entry about the real life Simpsons intro with the expression "cowabunga!".  After I posted it, I realized that Bart almost never says that anymore.  In fact, I don't think I've heard the term since the early 90s. This got me looking for the origin of the

Gut The Pig

I awoke this morning to find my Maple Leafs sitting in eleventh place in the Eastern Conference.  We're five points behind Montreal for the final playoff position.  The window's closing, it's getting dark and I can feel a chill setting in. The other day I received an email from someone

The Blind Leading The Blind

Every so often, I get a fixin' for old time blues.  Whenever I'm unsure of the artist, a good guess is that it's Blind something-or-other.  In my collection there are several "Blind" artists. Blind John DavisBlind Willie McTellBlind Lemon JeffersonBlind Willie JohnsonBlind BlakeBlind Boy FullerMore recent acts are Blind Melon

The Fog of Dubya

The Associated Press has obtained and made a confidential government video public.  This video confirms the suspicions many of us had about Dubya and his government's preparations for Katrina. The day before Katrina struck, Dubya attended a briefing about Katrina during which he was clearly warned about the coming disaster.

The Middle Name "Wayne"

I stumbled upon an interesting write up about the middle name "Wayne".  This guy noticed that "Wayne" was  a popular middle name amongst murderers.  He even keeps track of convicted murderers with this venomous middle name. In addition to John Wayne Gacy and Elmer Wayne Henley there are many others
