Four on the Floor was a sketch comedy series which aired on CBC back in 1986. Only 13 episodes made it to air before it was cancelled, but I think I watched all 13 of them. As a 12 year old, I thought it was insanely funny. A few years

Earlier in the week I wrote about how Gord Downie was singing "O Canada" prior to the 75th All-Star game from Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas. I had a ball game myself that night, so I missed the opening ceremonies. I've been trying to find video or audio from
