I love trivia. I love the Maple Leafs. I loved this clip. It's from Mastermind, a British quiz show, and it's comedian Stewart Francis being peppered with trivia questions about our beloved Toronto Maple Leafs. [via Pension Plan Puppets]
Humble and Fred fans, I have some good news to share. The boys will be recording a Christmas podcast on December 11. If my math is correct, this will be podcast #8 since Humble and Fred were forcibly removed from the old Mix 99.9 studios a few years ago.
Pat Burns was 58. He is the only Maple Leafs coach to win the Jack Adams Trophy as NHL Coach of the Year by leading the club to a 44-29-11 record in 1992-93 in his first season behind the Toronto bench. He remains the only NHL bench boss in history

You might enjoy this. I know I did. It's Jimmy Fallon as Neil Young performing Willow Smith's Whip My Hair and there's an extra cool special appearance by Bruce Springsteen. Whip your hair...
Ryan from Rogers TV sent me this video of Rob Ford predicting he'll one day be mayor of Toronto. This video is from 2006. I'm a little concerned, because he also states he wants to be Prime Minister. Uh oh...
You thought it would be awesome, but it's not. It's like a Bosh.
In case you didn't know yet, Apple announced a deal with representatives of the Beatles and the group's record label, EMI Group, to put the entire catalog of Beatles music in the iTunes Store. That's nice. The Beatles were, obviously, the biggest holdouts and now apple has them. Apple's going
One of the most overused lines in cinema history.
I've been listening to Girl Talk's All Day all afternoon. If you haven't grabbed your copy yet, go here and download it. Thanks to Wikipedia, I didn't need to wait long for a complete sample list. Here are all the samples heard on Girl Talk's All Day. 1. "Oh No"
M&M's have a contest going on called Find Red. You can go to http://findred.ca/ for a chance to win a Red smart fortwo car and other great prizes. That link cost M&M's a bunch of chocolate. M&M's to be precise. The amount
It's been over two years since Girl Talk's Feed the Animals. That album had 322 fantastic samples and ended up being my favourite album of 2008. It's true, you can look it up. I've been trying to download the free MP3s at http://69.162.150.165/12093874/qworeizl/3nv9asui/
Another retro gem shared by Retrontario reminded me of the origins of the A&E Network. When I first saw A&E, it was called the Arts & Entertainment Network and it was very PBS-ish. Lots of BBC stuff and upper crust viewing, as I recall. Here's an
The Social Network: 8 out of 10. Yeah, The Social Network is pretty good. Even if you think you know the story, it's compelling stuff. It's not Best Picture good, but it's solid work from David Fincher. This is definitely his best since Fight Club. The Trent Reznor and Atticus
I just searched Google Images for 'funniest picture ever'. That's the top result, courtesy of defective yeti. I get the feeling I've been Rick Roll'd.
I remember when we drafted Nazem Kadri. It was a time when we actually got to draft in the first round. It's amazing how excited you can get about a first round selection... I remember his NHL debut. Actually, it's his only NHL game. He was an emergency call-up against
Youtube user maxluere created this nice little video he calls "A Life on Facebook". It happens to feature my favourite Rolling Stones song. I doubt he properly licensed the tune, so you might want to view this before Mick finds out and calls his lawyers.
This video was made around 1965 as an in-house joke at an ad agency. No word if it came from SCDP or not... [via MetaFilter]
The Raptors suck this season. Even die-hards have to admit it. We're 1-7 and look terrible. When your team is in the dumps, it's fun to hate on other teams. This season, I've decided to root passionately against the Miami Heat. The whole Lebron / Wade / Bosh trifecta has me angry.
Disappointed in recent efforts from my Leafs, I wrote this. They then went out and laid an egg against the Panthers. That entry did entice a chap who goes by the handle Whitby - Clark to wax poetic on the subject. The following words are his, and they are beautiful.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved, and were loved,
Ann Rohmer announced she was leaving CP24 back in May. She was leaving television for the aviation industry, as I recall. There was a farewell bash and everything. On September 21, Susan Cunningham chimed in with the following comment. It appears that as of today Ann Rohmer is back on
Argh, I did it again. On October 16, following the Leafs' 4th win in their first 4 games, I declared it was feeling a little like '93. That was way stupid and way premature. But that's the problem when you've endured such futility for over half a decade. You start
Driscoll Middle School in Corpus Christi, Texas ran this trick play during their championship game against Wynn Seale on Saturday. They're calling this a really slow quarterback sneak. I don't care if it's legal, it's unsportsmanlike. I'd have refused to participate.
