I had no idea "You talkin' to me?" was improvised. Apparently, DeNiro was only told to talk to the mirror. Nice montage of unscripted scenes...

It's no secret I'm a big fan of just about anything Retrontario uploads to YouTube. He just uploaded an ad for CKEY Radio 590. It's from 1980, years before CJCL / FAN 590 took the spot on your dial. Today, that ad would be seen as promoting 590 as LGBT-friendly. Something
This is In the Fall by Steve Cutts. I quite like it.
I Google+'d this a month ago, but it's just too awesome for Google+. Dock Ellis & The LSD No-No by James Blagden belongs here. In celebration of the greatest athletic achievement by a man on a psychedelic journey, No Mas and artist James Blagden proudly present the animated tale
I could use a weekend. Lucky for me, one is only hours away. Use the comments of this entry to discuss that, or anything you want. Or ask me anything... I'm really smart. But don't forget, Def Leppard and Heart tickets are going to someone at 4pm. Go here to
Jani Lane was 47. He was the lead singer for Warrant, best known for the hits "Heaven" and "Cherry Pie". Here's Jani Lane talking about Cherry Pie, the song he wished he never wrote.
I'm on my way to Cirque du Soleil thanks to a recent contest in these parts, but before I go I have more tickets to give away. Thanks to my friends at WagJag, I've got 2 tickets for a very popular hair band from Sheffield, England. That's right, I'm not
The UK riots have their own Google doodle. [via b3ta board]
not sure how many of toronto mike's readers were in on the recent phenomena known as planking, owling or even canoeing. basically planking involved taking a picture of yourself lying rigid on an unusual surface - maybe on top of house, on a supermarket floor...wherever. i believe owling was
ESPN says there are signs of trouble here in Toronto. A mysterious man in white was apparently responsible for tipping off Jays hitters about which pitch was coming. If you're wondering how the man in white kept his whites white, wonder know more. The Jays use Javex. I'm starting the

America’s dismal debt crisis is awfully confusing. At least I find it confusing. Maybe you've got it all figured out. This video simplifies things nicely. Is there anything else I need to know?
On Saturday morning, I was listening to Edge 102 in the car. Despite what you may think having read the odd rant about 102.1 in this space, it's still my favourite music station. There's really no alternative in the GTA for a guy who wants to hear the latest
Last weekend, I watched The Naked Gun with the kids. This weekend, it was Pee Wee's Big Adventure. Next weekend, we'll watch Teen Wolf. These three films have something in common besides the decade they're from. All three feature little known character actor Mark Holton. In Pee Wee's Big Adventure,

If you've been here before, you might know I'm personal friends with both Humble Howard and Fred Patterson of the old Humble and Fred radio program. Before I ever met the guys, however, I was a fan of their morning show on CFNY / Edge 102. They made me laugh throughout
There's exciting news from 299 Queen Street West... MuchMusic has unveiled their new logo! I get a serious Martha Stewart vibe off of it, and that's not a good thing. This old man was ranting and raving a few years back about things he didn't get, and included MuchMusic on
Bubba Smith was 66. He was a defensive star in the NFL and played Moses Hightower, the soft-spoken officer in the "Police Academy" series.
Will Lee passed away in 1982. You likely don't know the name Will Lee. I didn't, either. I knew him as Mr. Hooper. Mr. Hooper's is the first death I remember. Here he is, if you're too young or too old to know who I'm talking about. This scene when
In June, I asked who wanted to date Bev. Bev is looking for a single guy in the GTA and I thought I might be able to set something up via this blog. Since then, she's been on dates with two Toronto Mike readers. First, there was Christopher. You can
The image below speaks for itself, but I'm very interested in your opinion. Does this image hit the mark? For Cheryl and other visitors without adequate vision to see this image, it depicts a picture of Ander Behring Brevik on the left and Osama bin Laden on the right. Beneath
My kids are crazy about this song. It's "The Lazy Song" by Bruno Mars, and Torontonian K'naan shares a writing credit. Here's the video they won't stop playing. Not exactly my cup of tea, but the sentiment is on point.
The good folks at HP were nice enough to give me a TouchPad Tablet PC, and I'm finally getting around to seeing what she's made of. I didn't already own a tablet PC. I alternate between a desktop running Ubuntu Linux and my work issued laptop which still runs Windows
You've seen the teaser. Now here's the trailer. And here's your primer.
