Back in '92, I was listening to the debut album from House of Pain. Snicker if you will, but I dug that album, and I still spin it now and then. One of the songs I enjoyed was "Put on Your Shit Kickers" and it included this folksy verse that
The Leafs win a game! The Leafs win a game! And of course, sleepy old man Mike fell asleep when it was 3-1 and missed the celebration. It's worth noting the only period of Leafs hockey I've missed this season is the third period of our only victory. Coincidence? Tomas
I like this vintage CFNY Spirit of Radio clip because it opens with a great deal of Chalk Circle love. Chalk Circle, celebrated in this clip for winning a CASBY in 1985, was the first band I ever saw live. This Nick Charles clip closes with a promo for Streets

It's almost Halloween. I've got pumpkins to carve, dammit! Here's a special, seasonal message from WUTV Buffalo 29 circa 1984.
Sherola has won the two Marlies tickets for November 1. He/she was randomly selected from the comments left on this entry. Here's who Sherola named as his/her favourite favourite Maple Leaf of all-time. Captain Clutch, Mats Sundin! Mats always gave his all and was a great leader. He

They lied to us through song. I hate when people do that! [via The Leafs Are The Best: Song + Video = AWESOME!]
The worst start in franchise history has us winless after 8 games. Last night, we stormed out of the gate, outshooting Vancouver 8-1. Then, we decided to play the rest of the period on the PK. Five penalties in a row for a team that sucks at killing penalties. We're
Is there anything Google can't do? They claim they're able to estimate current flu activity in real-time. Here's what they're saying about Ontario. It's intense, alright. Here's evidence that they might know what they're talking about. I'm on a pretty good flu-free streak. I'd like to keep the streak going.
The Tragically Hip are playing the House of Blues tonight in Houston, Texas at 8:00pm. That prompted Nicholas L. Hall from the Houston Press to preview the show. Here's what Hall wrote. After the blockquote, I'll respond as The Tragically Hip's biggest fan in the blogosphere. The emphasis below
It's hard to believe it's already been 16 years since Joe Carter went deep in game 6 of the Blue Jays ~ Phillies World Series. The Jays led the series 3 games to 2, but trailed in the game 6-5. With Mitch Williams on the mound for Philadelphia and Ricky Henderson
It's never been easy being a Leafs fan. I discovered the team in the early 80s and endured some painful seasons when I was too young to expect any better. One of my best early memories of the team was a first round sweep of the Chicago Black Hawks. We
Soupy Sales was 83. He was a pioneer of slapstick television comedy who once estimated he had taken 20,000 pies in the face.
This is priceless. [via Everything is Terrible!]
It's been awhile since I updated you all on my Toronto Blog Google Challenge. I want to rank #1 in Google for Toronto Blog searches. I want to be the definitive Toronto blog, according to Google. What makes this challenge particularly tough are two multi-authored and financed blogs. As I've
Paul Blart: Mall Cop: 2.5 out of 10. Wow. That was bad. It wasn't so bad it's good bad. It was the bad bad. The comedy without a single laugh or compelling moment bad. I'm giving it a 2.5 because my 7-year old seemed to really enjoy the
I've already admitted I'm a CBC Newsworld fan. It's actually where I get my television news. I have several sources online, but when I'm looking for a news update on television, I get it from CBC Newsworld. CBC Newsworld now has a new name. It's now CBC News Network (CBC

If you've read this blog for any length of time, you know I've frequented a number of Toronto Marlies games the past two years. The Marlies are the Maple Leafs' AHL affiliate and they play their home games at the Ricoh Coliseum, on the grounds of the CNE. The Marlies
Is it me, or did they used to air more tunes with swear words on the radio than they do now? I'm not talking about late night live-to-airs, I'm talking about middle of the day F bombs. From memory, here are songs with swears I heard completely uncensored on CFNY
Judging from the comments and email I've received in response to my declaration that I actually like thestar.com's redesign, it seems a bunch of you have issues loading the site in Internet Explorer. Below are visitors to this site over the past 30 days, broken out by web browser.
If you've got kids, you've likely seen the Pixar lamp introduction a million times. But you've never seen the Pixar intro like this. Beware of adorable, homicidal lamps.
