When I was grabbing that list of search strings for May 2008, I noticed a surge in hits coming from Forum de la LHSNHLQ, a French Canadian hockey forum of some sort.  It didn't take long for me to see they were hotlinking to one of my images, a hockey

Amy Winehouse needs help.  I realize this isn't breaking news, but as a civilized society can we just watch her self destruct in plain sight and treat it as tabloid fodder? Let's help the poor girl.  She needs it, whether she knows it or not.  Here she is at the

Sunday afternoon, as I roasted a hot dog over a blazing hot bonfire, I couldn't wait to slip it in a bun and chow down.  Hot dogs might not be good for us, but damn it's one tasty food. I've always loved hot dogs and sausages.  Nothing tastes better after

I have memories from my childhood of my parents carrying in the groceries in paper bags.  The groceries always came home in these paper bags and then, almost overnight, the paper bags disappeared. Plastic bags became the norm.  The economy grocery stores eventually started charging us 5¢ a plastic bag,

For the past 16 months, frustrated owners of Prima TVs have found their way to this entry where they've shared their pain.  If you follow this blog, you know I don't typically go off on a company for no good reason.  I wrote that entry after countless calls to Prima

We're approaching $1.30 a litre for gas in this city.  Seriously, the local gas station is selling regular unleaded for $1.27 a litre. Four years ago this week, I was ticked at the fact we were approaching a buck a litre.  I even have a note about the

I'm always looking for the next big thing.  A Google search for "* is the next big thing" gives me a list of items that may be the next big thing.

A friend of mine is selling this great portable salad bar.  It's ideal for small spaces and also can be used as a buffet for private parties. Cambro's Ultra Bar can go anywhere and serve anything.  Foam insulation provides excellent temperature retention for hot or cold foods.  Sliding doors on

Last season, I managed my slo-pitch team for the first time.  It's a lot more work than you'd realize, but it was also a lot of fun and we ended up winning our division and graduating into the comp division, the highest level of play in the RSPA. This season,

John saw Saint Ralph and got chills when Gord Downie sang "Hallelujah" at the end of the big race.  I know how John felt because I felt it too.  John followed up his chills the way everyone follows up these chills.  He Googled the song, hoping to hear it or

We just launched Canadian Thinker on Tuesday, but Freddie P's been hitting the airwaves spreading the word.  Yesterday Fred appeared on John Derringer's morning show on Q107. Fred also appeared on The Rock out of Windsor and talked about nothing but CanadianThinker.com.  I listened to this audio with a

Move over Obama.  Cobra Commander is running for President of the United States. Yes, we shall!

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a breakthrough on the Alphaghetti Gobbler front.  One of the kids who appeared in that elusive ad has left a comment on this entry and he's agreed to be interviewed by yours truly. First, a little background on why this is a big deal.  I

The Webby Awards are the Oscars of the web.  I'm always interested in checking out the winners, especially the winner for Best Culture / Personal Blog.  Boy was I surprised this year to learn it's me! Ok, I didn't win.  It was an honour not even being nominated.  The actual winner

For the past year, Freddie P and I have been discussing an idea he's had for a national blog.  He envisioned a national forum where people discuss domestic issues and he wanted to call it Canadian Thinker.  Finally, a couple of months ago, we hooked up at Kelsey's and literally

When I was young, there were dangers with the choking cake, but we never played the choking game.  As shocking as this will seem, we were way too smart to play the choking game, which I hear is a big hit amongst today's youth. The choking game, also known as

At the office, I'm the president of the coffee club.  I created a logo and everything.  We have a French press and we try different types of coffee.  We've got coffee from Brazil, Columbia, Cuba, Mexico, etc. This morning, we tried Canadian coffee.  I was surprised to hear there was

I've never met Buffalo Boy Mike.  He's a big Humble & Fred fan who discovered this blog when I worked with Humble and Fred on their podcasts.  I worked with Buffalo Boy on his blog, so I follow his entries with great interest. Earlier in the week I wrote about

Almost a year after I wrote about the other Mike Boon, he found the entry and left a comment.  The other Mike Boon is a New Zealand comedian who has retired to teach.  Here's what he said earlier today. Here's an answer to some of your questions. Yes I do

I just Googled HSBC Arena.  The description displayed is "Buffalo, New York. Home of the NHL Buffalo Sabers." Somebody should tell the HSBC Arena marketers how to spell Sabres. Update: I just viewed the source for the HSBC Arena home page, and there is no meta description tag.  I'm betting

Buffalo Boy has an extra ticket to see The Police and Elvis Costello at the HSBC Arena on May 3.  He's looking for a real fan to go with him. If you're interested, head over to this entry, make a bid and tell him why you want the ticket.  Someone

Although I realize I'm losing touch, not being able to name anyone on Laguna Beach or The Hills, I'd be shocked if the sexiest woman in the world was someone I didn't know. I just read that Megan Fox tops FHM’s annual 100 Sexiest Women in the World poll

Dove's Onslaught ad was pretty effective, but so is this video from Greenpeace.

As I watch the Canadiens cough one up to the Bruins, I'm already smirking.  Now to turn this Saturday night smirk into a full fledged chuckle... I know!  It's time for the comedy styling of George Dubya Bush.

He or she is still at it.  It's been almost five years since I wrote about holiday music but somebody in the guise of "Nobody" has been dropping comments there on a regular basis.  I wrote about Nobody earlier this year, and Nobody disappeared for a bit, but he or
