I was just watching the Muchmusic Countdown and Outkast's "Roses" is in the top 10. I've seen this video a few times now and every time I find it hilarious that Kevin McDonald has such a cameo. What the heck is Kevin McDonald doing in an Outkast video? What would
This is a top secret message for you-know-who from Reflex. The fat man walks alone. Mission successful thus far...no issues encountered. All is well. Wink, wink.
"Stealing! How could you?! Haven't you learned anything from that guy who gives those sermons at church? Captain What's-his-name?"
Earlier this week I received three emails from people telling me not to buy gasoline yesterday. You probably had this email forwarded to you. This mass strike was going to wreak havoc with the gas companies and the price was going to drop as a result. I didn't need to
Art Car at the Hippie Fair - I have seen my next car, and this is it. Absolutely stunning.

Watching overtime last night hoping the Tampa Bay Lightning would prevail, I was thoroughly impressed by the end to end action. As overtimes go, this was particularly exciting. Unfortunately, the Flyers prevailed which is very good news for Ryan and terrible news for Alexi in our 2004 playoff pool. Meanwhile,
I remember fondly being mesmerized by Hammy Hamster. Hammy Hamster was the lead character in a television show entitled Hammy Hamster and he was indeed a hamster. Not a cartoon hamster, but an actual hamster. His best friend was G.P. who was a guinea pig and there were others.

I'm a History major. No seriously, I double majored in History and English at the University of Toronto. As we live through the age of Dubya, I often wonder how future history text books will look back at his legacy. How will history view the presidency of George W. Bush?

The Calgary Flames have advanced to the Stanley Cup finals. With a low payroll and tremendous work ethic, this underdog has captured the heart of Canada as we seek to return the cup to the true north strong and free for the first time since 1993. The elimination of San
I submitted a song via the Smells Like Sour website for SLS11 consideration. I submitted "Slither" by Velvet Revolver. "Slither" is a cool blend of STP and Guns N' Roses, two of my favourite bands of all time. Scott Weiland offers the STP-style vocals we all know and love while

When a rock band comes out of somewhere like Ajax, Ontario, I try very hard to like them. "Fat Lip" was a cool tune with a cool video which gave hope to my cause. Sum 41 was selling a tonne of albums and were quickly becoming princes in the pop-punk
Eleven Twelve - As a toddler, I spent a great many hours watching Sesame Street. Looking back at Sesame Street as a guy quickly approaching thirty, I have a lot of good memories, but two sequences in particular stick out in my mind. One bit had Cookie Monster trying to
As a child, I fell in love with the romanticism of baseball. I loved the never ending number of statistics and trivial components to the game. As a Blue Jays fan, every time a batter hit a base hit in his first at bat, I was watching a potential cycle.
Tampa Bay is now one win away from their first ever Stanley Cup Final. It's not fair that fans of the Tampa Bay Lightning, Anaheim Mighty Ducks, Carolina Hurricanes and Florida Panthers will have recent Stanley Cup memories of their favourite team while a guy like me has suffered three

Tony Randall was 84. He was the comic actor best known for playing fastidious photographer Felix Unger on "The Odd Couple".
Never underestimate the power of the right song at the right time. Take this morning for example. I'm driving along on a wet looking Tuesday morning with a lot on my mind and feeling a little blah when CFNY Edge 102 plays "Chop Suey!" by System of a Down. "Chop
Calgary is now only one win away from a birth in the Stanley Cup finals. If someone had told me six months ago that Calgary would be playing for the cup I would never have believed it. Marc owns Calgary, so he's pulled just a little closer to Alexi in

Tonight we in Raging Storm played our first slo-pitch game of the 2004 season and defeated the Clippers by three. It was a close game but some timely hitting and solid D helped us prevail. This year we're not only posting scores from each game but also batting statistics for
