So, the majority of the NHL's play-in series have concluded, and here's what we know so far: Montreal did the Lord's work & knocked out the Penguins; Arizona validated Gary Bettman's (BOOOOO!) relocation strategy by knocking out Nashville; Calgary the same by beating the V.2 Jets; The Blackhawks gave the

Did you enjoy Balls last night? Tik Tok indeed. There are two weeks to go in my school year and I think I've officially run out of gas. It doesn't much help that it's more June-uary than June. Seven of the thirteen days so far have been moist. And the baseball season

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcZwzVLsBsg It's an old episode of SCTV, taped off TV. The old local commercials are ridiculous, and the CBC bumpers are laughable. The Rough Trade appearance is very 1981; I can't figure out why all the guys in the band are bald, but I'm guessing the English majors they date don't

Good morning early risers let's hope today we are rewarded with some good futbol! It is I, one of the three gentlemen filling in for Hippo as he takes his hiatus from teh futbol. We all four watch the game a bit differently and focus on different countries for the

So, my wife is away on a business trip this weekend. Normally, in the past this would have meant hitting the town with the boys & kicking up a fuss, then crawling out of the cab about 2:00AM & seeing what kind of mess the dogs made. But the sad part about

So, today I had to go for summer "training" at the baseball stadium, because even though I've been there since 1991, I guess I need a refresher on how beer goes into a cup & then onto my tray. Complex fucking physics, that. Luckily, prices stayed the same, so the tips

Today turned out better than it was supposed to, because I didn't get rooked into going to my eldest niece's ballet recital - those bunhead moms are fucking lunatics, and the girls all look like their makeup guns were set to "whore". Also, I didn't have to babysit the youngest two while

It's the weekend, so I assume President 9-iron is down in Florida waiting to see if North Korea and its allies decide to make "Red Dawn" a documentary. Just so we're clear, the 1984 version is much, much better than the 2012 version. I don't really believe this is up for debate. Also,

Welcome to Saturday night, my friends. I'm hoping you had a good day. The rain returned in time for lunch here in Vancouver, but the fact that the snow is gone means it was still a pretty good day. I'm doing more deliveries tonight, and hoping for another uneventful evening where I
