  1. Did Trevor just predict the apocalypse? P.S. Any word on when the music starts?
  2. FIFA U-20 World Cup starts today -- dumbest pro sport and all. Wimbledon is on. CFL started last Thursday. I've been having an incredible sports year. I was just thinking the past 12 months has probably been the best sports watching year of my life. But then that mostly has to do with getting into soccer on a full time basis. I don't want to debate you on the merits of that but the investment has paid off in spades for me.
  3. Yeah, who still uses Mapquest and why?
  4. Excellent, excellent blog Sharon! Thanks for sharing a bit of your experience with us. Even better, I don't have to ask Mike how the vacation was on Tuesday.
  5. Does anyone know if they have beer on Major's Hill?
  6. The vandalizer has already confessed. Just a bizarre coincidence. http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Chris_Benoit_mystery_editor_confesses:_claims_%22terrible_coincidence%22 Mainstream news should pick this up tomorrow.
  7. Bent makes £16.5m Tottenham move Is he worth it and is this a good move? Seems like Spurs are already well-stocked at the striker position with Berbs, Keane and Defoe. Granted, all signs point to Spurs moving Defoe but is Bent that much better than Defoe to be worth more than Henry?
  8. I'll be in the south side with you lads. Steamed that I have to miss Saturday though!

    A complete outrage!
  10. Huzzah! Rideau Canal system becomes World Heritage Site International recognition for 180-year-old feat of engineering

    Season 1 was great! Has the second one started yet? Love this show.
  12. [color:purple]Maybe hockey just needs to market itself to the Spanish language audience in the States.
  13. It's codified into the rules as a penalty.
  14. No one is trying to eliminate fighting completely. I don't know why this keeps coming up as a topic.
  15. Ha, ha... good call. I can totally see it.
  16. Where do I say anything about leaving? I'm talking about relocating 2 franchises: Florida and Nashville.
  17. I wonder how big the Gold Cup rating would be if it were held on a Wednesday in prime time. Just saying the comparison isn't exactly direct.
  18. They already have a base of teams in the States. I'm not suggesting they move them all up to Canada. I just think they should focus on hot markets and not try to force it where it's not wanted, mainly the south.
  19. But they've been trying forever and making very few inroads. At some point you have to look at your business model and make a change if it ain't working.
  20. I dunno, the peanut gallery seemed to be mocking her and the story still got on TV.
  21. Hey Sean, who's your landlord? Mine is Commvesco Levinson-Viner. Oh yeah, one other note about the drug dealer and explanation as to why he hasn't been booted... his last name is Viner.
  22. All the windows in the building were replaced just two weeks ago. When one of them is open it is trivially easy to lift the screen. It would be nice if our apartment sent out notice but they never have in the past. But then they've also been harboring a drug dealer in one of the units who can't seem to get kicked out no matter what he does, including breaking into another tenants unit! He'd be my first suspect but I don't think he's been in his apartment for weeks... he's probably in jail again. I got a few more details and apparently all they took were the girls laptop and personal cheques. She said there was also evidence that they had searched her desktop computer. She suspects identity theft as they left a lot of other valuable items. And yes, I have insurance. It's worth the couple of hundred bucks a year.
  23. One of the units in my apartment building was broken into last night. It's a ground floor unit and the windows were open so all the crook(s) had to do was lift the screen to gain access. It only takes a few minutes for this to happen so even if you're only going to the corner store to grab a few items, remember all the sleazy people out there waiting to take advantage of any opportunity.
