I would recommend anything by Dave Eggers. I've read a few but his first, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, is still my favourite. If you haven't read Dirt, The Motley Crew bio, then pick it up asap! It was awesome! I wish I knew who I lent that to because it is worthy of a second go 'round.

I could actually imagine a nero tune being used as an anthem. They have a few big, hook heavy tunes that could get you pumped to watch hockey.

This thread has provided countless laughs. It is both funny and informative. A+

After hearing bouche rave about his brined pork chops, I had to give it a try. Man, they were awesome. The actual prep work is very minimal- Just make the brine a few hours before dinner, toss in the pork and stick'em in the fridge for a few hours. Grill'em up and enjoy! They were some of the tastiest, juiciest pork chops I have ever tried. Thanks for the tips Mike!

Have a great adventure and come home safe!

Happy b-day good sir!

Hope you had a great b-day! You deserve it.

Booche- I have seen you dance the Meatstick plenty of times! I won't mention what else I've seen you do to the Meatstick.

I'm pumped! Thanks to Basher and Julia! I can't wait for the work day to end!

That "hate by numbers" bit was the shit.

I'm jealous. What did you cook for your b-day dinner?

Good luck- sounds like an amazing opportunity.

Happy belated B-day wishes! Have a great year! Thanks for all that you do to help make this place fun!

For the record- I fully acknowledge my putzishness and totally spaced on getting a ticket. I only need 1!

Happy Birthday! Make it a great one!

Is that available at the LCBO?

and Jaybone...

That sounds like fun!

Northern Exposure!

Mike- you are such a photo geek!!!

Big time congrats! Good luck!

I am so bummed to not be attending this year. I have a wedding both Friday and Saturday nights! Ouch. Have a blast guys! It looks like it will be a great time.

I haven't been in a few years but we always used to eat at this old creperie. It is a funky little place not far from the Chateau. Kind of a laid back vibe and not too expensive, considering it is in the heart of a tourist area. They often have folk singers in the evening. Good for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert. It might be called Casse Crepe Breton.

Thanks! Gotta love Doogie!

I just picked one up on the weekend as a bachelor party present for a buddy. It was less then $200 at Crappy Tire. I had a hard time giving it away as I want one for myself. Have fun and let us know what recipes are working for you!
