With a couple of exhibition games already under our belt, it's time for the Raging Storm slo-pitch team to begin the 2005 regular season. The official home page of the Raging Storm has been refreshed to include 2005 information and the results and statistics from 2004 have been permanently archived.
An event occurred this morning in our fair city that delighted Torontonians from Etobicoke to Scarborough. A tractor-trailer truck carrying more than 2,000 cases of beer crashed on the 401 just before 06:00 this morning, spilling suds on top of the city. The smell of beer continues to
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. The Beatles - Eleanor Rigby Because it's still a
I majored in history with a focus on Canadian history, but even I find our parliamentary system awfully confusing at times. This is one such instance. The House of Commons passed a motion by 153 votes to 150 tonight that calls on the public accounts committee "to recommend that the
From TSN.ca, I steal the following: "Canada generated only a handful of chances as the Ukrainians played five men back, used hooking and obstruction liberally and left little room to make plays." There's our excuse. Now I feel better.
When Rick Nash has to score a third period goal to give you a 2-1 lead over the Ukraine, you know you're in trouble. Methinks this team isn't as good as I think it is. If we barely get by the Ukraine, and there's ten minutes left to play so
Your world exclusive access to CDLX tracks will expire in thirty minutes. Listen to them here until 11:00 EST today at which time I'm taking them down. Consider yourselves warned.
Every Monday I shuffle my entire MP3 collection in the Quintessential Player and list the first ten songs that play. Here are the ten tunes I heard today. Obie Trice - Adrenaline RushRobert Palmer - Respect YourselfRoosevelt Sykes - Ran the Blues Out of My WindowKorn - Good GodCake -
Last month I shared the fact Custom is streaming four songs from his upcoming album. Fans of Custom or people who just dig a good vibe will want to hear about CDLX. While recording his new tracks, Custom produced a side project he calls CDLX. He explains CDLX below. cdlx
By now, fans of "Chappelle's Show" know production of the third season has been suspended by Comedy Central. It's been days since this announcement, but there's still no word on the official cause of this delay. What's the deal with Dave Chappelle? There are a few theories being bandied about.
This morning, James started singing aloud the chorus of Hot Hot Heat's "Goodnight Goodnight". I had never taught him this song and I didn't provoke this impromptu concert in any way. He got the words exactly right and the tune too. He must have caught me singing it one day
How do I keep losing to Jacob? I don't even know any Jacobs. I used to know a Jacob, but that was almost twenty years ago. Here is the list of the most popular male baby names for 2004, based on applications for USA Social Security cards. I'm a strong
Rick Nash and Patrick Marleau scored 51 seconds apart in the third period to lead Canada to a 3-3 comeback tie with Finland at the IIHF world hockey championship. It wasn't supposed to be this way. We're supposed to beat Finland who is without Saku Koivu, Tuomo Ruutu, Jere Lehtinen,
Here are my ten favourite songs with the word "Mother" in the title. Tracy Bonham - Mother MotherPink Floyd - MotherThe Guess Who - No Sugar Tonight - New Mother NatureGhetto Boyz - Die Mother F*ckersDanzig - MotherJann Arden - Good MotherJames Brown - Mother PopcornThe Rolling Stones -
Mothers have the most important job in the world. I'm not trying to slight fathers, as we're playing a vital role too, but mothers are at the top. It might be easier to share an MP3 of Jann Arden's "Good Mother". It opens with this line, "I've got money in
Soul Plane: 2 out of 10. "Soul Plane" made "White Chicks" seem more like "Citizen Kane". This movie was one African-American stereotype after another, flung towards you at warp speed. It's entirely offensive without any sly satire or commentary in the mix. Seriously, they covered every stereotype in the book
"A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity, it dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path." - Agatha Christie
In the mid-80s through the early-90s, I kept a scrapbook. In this scrapbook I pasted articles about the important sports occurrences of the day. I hadn't seen this scrapbook in a while, but my brother Steve recently stumbled upon it and gave it to me today. I brought it home
As I write this entry, Teri Polo lives. The actress best known for her role in "Meet the Parents" and "Meet the Fockers" remains amongst the living. I'm pointing out this fact for the many who visit this site after Googling Teri Polo's Death and other such phrases. The woman
Perhaps I jinxed us when bragging about the streak the other day. We went 6-0 at the World Cup last September and 6-0 at the World Junior Championship in January. Unfortunately, we won't be running the gamut at this year's world championship. Up 2-0 in the first, I was ready
Theory Of A Deadman is getting plenty of airplay lately from their hit "No Surprise". The first time I heard this song I deemed in unworthy of SLS, but I also realized the appeal. It's got a incredibly catchy hook. Sometimes I think songs are recorded with the sole purpose
White Chicks: 4 out of 10. "White Chicks" was dumb, but not as painful to watch as you might suspect. If it seems I'm being kind that's probably because my expectations were extremely low when I sat down to watch this Wayans vehicle. I had read somewhere that "White Chicks"
"All right, let's not panic. I'll make the money by selling one of my livers. I can get by with one."
Wow. ESPN.com is reporting that Victoria, British Columbia native Steve Nash will be named the Most Valuable Player of the National Basketball Association. The official announcement will be made Sunday during halftime of ABC's coverage of Sunday's playoff game. Not only is Nash only the third point guard in
If the early-90s Jays were trailing heading into their at bat in the 9th inning, I always felt confident we'd pull it out if Devon White, Roberto Alomar and Joe Carter or Paul Molitor were due up. These were clutch guys, Alomar and Molitor particularly. Certain players always seemed to
