  1. Wasn't he all pissy that Knowlton Nash wouldn't retire fast enough for his liking? And now Mansbridge is over the hill, not particularly sharp or witty and looking like death warmed over and still clinging to his "spot". Just watch him crawl over to the Senate once he does hang 'em up.
  2. :: raises hand :: Male white privilege personified.
  3. Iggy choked his way through what might have been his only significant opportunity to put a dent in Harper's armour. Very disappointed in his performance and inability to ask Harper a pointed question. He would bring up some great points and then ramble them away before Harper even had a chance to address them. I don't know why I was under the impression that Iggy is a master debater. My grades: Harper A Layton A- Iggy C Duceppe B- We are due for at least a Harper minority.
  4. Yeah I know how it works. It just never occurred to me that discussing a show that had already aired was cause for using the spoiler tag.
  5. It's better than I feared. No real obnoxious contestants or judges so far and the editing is tight. The chefs' signature dishes (elimination challenge) weren't very inspiring for the most part.
  6. The show has already aired. If you can avoid clicking on the Top Chef Canada topic that would be even more awesome.
  7. Undercooked lamb sitting in a pool of broth one of the judges described as looking like vomit. Pretty harsh and I felt bad for the guy.
  8. Well done Liverpool! Despite all the shite play of late Spurs are only 3 behind 4th with a game in hand (would lose the tie breaker I realize). Giddy up!
  9. The best thing about Stu on the Team was the barely concealed contempt his co-hosts had for him. They still mock him on a semi-regular basis. The bigger question for me is how he got the Sens announcer gig. He's pretty much the biggest putz in Ottawa.
  10. You've never heard Mike Eastwood on the Sens post-game show then. It's like his own personal hell.
  11. Murray extended for 3 years. Just wanted to post that in the official thread.
  12. Like I said. Murray extended for 3 years.

    Is Rush playing in town anytime soon?

    That would make a great iPad wallpaper actually.

    I've tried ZITE a few times but it didn't interest me much. What I like so much about Flipboard is that it's way more personalized in that I can use it to read my Facebook and Twitter accounts directly. It's amazing just by the way it presents the information how much more appealing it is. It makes the content pop. It's great for RSS feeds too. Does the Cavern have an RSS feed that I can plug into? I couldn't find one. [color:#CCCCCC]Trying my best to ignore the douchey-er parts of this thread.

    I seriously considered getting a Xoom but the apps swayed the balance to the iPad: Garage Band, iMovie, Netflix, etc. I'll be curious to see what the next gen Android tablets are like as I find some of the iPads limitations frustrating. That said it's an amazing and beautiful device that continues to absorb hours of my time. Please share any app recommendations. Do you have Flipboard? I figured you'd see my iPad post on Facebook

    BEER!!

    That looks nice! I can't remember if I plugged it here but you can get growlers of Kichesippi Blonde Ale at the brewery, down Campbell Ave off of Carling Ave (one street before the Canadian Tire, heading east). It's a moderately hopped pale ale with a nice bite on the tongue in the finish. They are filled up right before your eyes and in the approximately two months I've been going here consistency has remained high -- an important factor to me. It's obviously very fresh too. $14.75 per growler but only $10.75 when you go back to refill.

    iPad 2. I learned how to play Runaway and Home Sweet Home on the Garage Band piano this week.
  19. I think it's just a good excuse to crack a beer. But it's not like I'm forcing her to watch everything with me. We have two TVs and a kitchen. As for watching MLS last night, I was just flipping channels after catching up on American Idol and it caught my attention. I would never PVR that shit.
  20. I thought it was pretty much common knowledge months ago that Murray was staying and Clouston was getting the axe. Anyone else recall that?
