Michael: Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject. So you know you are getting the best possible information. Michael: I am declining to speak first. Michael: You give me a good raise, or no more sex.

For just this one Saturday I hope the Ottawa region doesn't get a local CBC broadcast.

Ditto for Spurs in the cup. Spanish police had a go at English fans too.

Is that a fast food place downtown?

I don't know why I find this view of Christianity so funny: "Satan is part of the same religion as Christ, so it's a contrast, not a competing religion."

Yeah, I seem to remember seeing one around Christmas time, closer to the east side of Sparks.

Nice goal by Rooney but what was with Scholes giving all the Roma players knee lifts to the gut?

[color:purple]Yeah, drop a nuke on the middle east. Can't see that having any long lasting implications.

Helluva finish by Bayern Munich! Wow.

Bands mentioned in the press release: Smashing Pumpkins Stars Sam Roberts Band Xavier Caféine Placebo Amy Winehouse Paolo Nutini Peter Bjorn & John Au Revoir Simone (USA) Adam Kesher (FR) Peter Von Poehl (FR) After having had such a good time last year, I'm very disappointed in the lineup so far. It's going to take some killer sidestage acts for me to be persuaded. Damn. It's also not being held on Labour Day weekend this year... it will be held September 8th and 9th. Public on-sale is this Saturday.

Flipper's. I went there once and was disappointed.

Paraphrased: "I'm not worried because Dave [Nonis] is a shitty coach." "I'm not gonna comment on what other organizations do but to tell you the truth, it's ridiculous." Gotta love Alain Vigneault.

I think I'm just gonna watch Roma/ManU -- there's a lot on this week. Don't forget the UEFA Cup on Foxsports World Canada: Thursday, April 5 2:30pm Quarterfinal, Leg 1: Sevilla vs. Tottenham Hotspur (Live) 5:00pm Quarterfinal, Leg 1: AZ Alkmaar vs. Werder Bremen (Taped) 7:00pm Quarterfinal, Leg 1: Bayer 04 Leverkusen vs. Osasuna (Taped)

Yeah, I looked at the menu after posting that link and noticed the mains were all about $10 more than I would like to pay in a restaurant. At those prices the food had better be really, really good.

Count me as another one who clued in late... Happy Birthday Brad!! You are a good man.

You might also find some ideas on the restaurant list for "City South" on Ottawa Foodies: http://ottawafoodies.com/tag/75 "City South" includes The Glebe.

Try the Urban Pear. I haven't been myself but it's been around for years and generally gets good reviews on the local foodie sites. http://www.theurbanpear.com/ P.S. Happy belated birthday. Sorry I couldn't make it out on Saturday.

I was just gonna mention Ftorek. What a weird (and successful) little organization!

My hatred for Avery apparently knows no bounds because that picture pisses me right off.

The MLS season kicks off at the end of the week. I was torn between starting an FC or MLS thread. Is there much interest around here? Anyone know which station is showing the Chivas/FC match on Saturday?

My bad -- still in the semi-final round. 2nd leg matches air live Tuesday and Thursday this week.

Kinda cheesey with the host winning all the awards she was up for. At least they aired it live, and not on tape delay like the plan was earlier in the week.

I had a fun time watching the match, but mostly chatting, with you boys on Saturday. Sorry we didn't make it out at night, my mom's plane was delayed over an hour and we were spent by the time we got home. Steve, very nice to meet you and Leslie. Glad to hear you liked the city so much. Would be pretty cool if you guys ended up here! Spurs win yesterday marked a weekend of good results for all our teams. Noticed that Fox is going to be carrying the UEFA Cup quarter-finals this week, add the Champions League matches to that, the CONCACAF club championship on Thursday, Toronto FC debut on Saturday... it's going to be a busy week.

That's awesome meggo! You look like you're one of the high school kids! Congrats.
