Happy U.S. Turkey Day!
Check out this great short story from the mighty mjd: Thanksgiving with Terrell and Drew. Check out the link to his site from the top of the story too, its a great read.

I was going to make a list of the top 5 Americans that should be thankful, but it was really just so I could put this guy at #1. Its really not worth me comming up with 4 more.














My name Magoo and I'm a supa-dupa star, every other month I get a brand new car

Is this a hockey game or House?
I was watching the sports highlights last night and I see on the crawl across the bottom of the screen that the Red Wings / Predators game was postponed. Thats weird, hockey games don't usually get postponed, something must have gone wrong at the arena like the lights blew out or something. Oh damn how wrong I was. Jiri Fisher, one of the Wings tough young defencemen had a seizure on the bench. When the footage of the game came on I couldn't even believe it. They were doing CPR on him right on the bench because his heart stopped! Yzerman and Draper grabbed the strecher and booked it across the rink to the bench, the arena was freaky quiet. They gave him the heart-shocky thing....I forget what its called. Y'know what I'm talking about though 'clear!' *ZAP*. Then they got him on the strecher and moved him to the hospital. According to reports he is doing fine and is in stable condition at the hospital. Damn, I think thats the craziest thing I've seen from a sporting event in a long time...maybe ever...I'll have to think about this a bit.

So whats the craziest thing you've seen from a sporting event?

Another great invention
I don't know who first had the idea to mix their eggs with nog, but I'm glad they did. Its gotta be one of the top non-carbonated, non-alcoholic beverages on the market.

So how original am i??

1. "Nigga, it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors
It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em"
2. "Let's mingle. And make it well. Come together now."
3. "And if i were the king of the world , i tell you what i would do. I'd throw
away the cars and the bars in the world and id make sweet love to you."
4. "Hey you you always on the run,
Gotta slow down baby, got have some fun."
5. "Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, fell apart"
6. "Where's my gangstas and all my thugs?
Throw them hands up and show some love"
7. "I ran from the tide. won't let you hide. won't let you hide"
8. "Because we need each other. We believe in one another.
And I know we're going to uncover. What's sleepin' in our soul"
9. "try to see it my way, do i have to keep on talking till i can't go on"
10. "got to find a reason, reason things went wrong
got to find a reason why my moneys all gone"

dunno how well anyone will do.

 
Just One Of Those Days
Have you ever had one of those days where you felt like posting something but just had nothing to say? I've been all over lake acidification pretty much since I got up, and I'm sure you don't want to hear about that. I took a break to have some breakfast pizza, but thats about it. Nothing really 'post-worthy' going on. So in the name of procrastination I'm stealing an idea from hey freak dot com. Its really just 10 random songs off my computer, but instead of giving you the titles you're only getting a selected lyric. Its really quite smart, now our combined procrastination time is doubled cause you have something to do too. Ready, Set, GO!

1. Sawed off shotgun, hand on the pump
Sippin on a 40, smokin on a blunt
2. That beat you hear it bangin, he produced it himself
My bad, almost forgot to introduce myself
3. Yes I'm dead loose, from the noose, thats kept me hangin around
4. Two-fifty for a decade, and a buck and a half for a year
Happy hour, happy hour, happy hour is here
5. Let me get my two guns, for rappers that can use help
Now that Meth is back y'all can tell me how my shoes felt
6. Go read a book you illiterate son of a bitch
7. So I handed him my bottle, and he drank down my last swallow
Then he bummed a cigarette, and asked me for a light
8. Down at the speedway, some kinda Elvis thing
Well I ain't no movie star, but I can get behind anything
9. Raow! Raow! Like a dungeon dragon
Still king of the flow, while my mink be draggin
10.I can drink a whole hennessy fifth
Some call that a problem, but I call it a gift

Alrighty, well that was fun...and now I'm outta here.

P.S. Steve there are at least 3 of those that you should know...or I'm going to be very disapointed

Here We Go Again
  • Forget the OJ and toothpaste combo, we need a flavour of gum that can be chewed after brushing your teeth without reacting with the toothpaste flavour. That shit is crucial.

  • Why do network executives hate friday nights? Seriously, my sports options tonight are watching the Raptors try to go 0-9 to start the season or the Flyers/Thrashers on TSN. But that doesn't really count because sports matchups are highly variable. The best show on friday night is Law & Order CI...and its probably third on my list of favorite Law & Order shows (behind SVU and the original).

  • I thought that Ghost Whisperer had a shot to get into the friday night rotation based on Jennifer Love Hewitt alone, but its just not cutting it. Friday night is officially where television went to die.

  • O Brother, Where Art Thou? has the best movie soundtrack of all-time. Thats not even a debatable point.

  • I think this movie looks great. Not just because it has George Clooney and Matt Damon in it either...really though, these guys just don't make bad movies. I think its contractual. (Batman and Robin doesn't count, it never happened)

  • The Jays reportedly offered A.J. Burnett $50 million over 5 years. If we can get him for that I'm all for it, but I'm worried J.P. might get into a bidding war and overpay.

  • Whoever discovered the art of honey roasting stuff and then applied it to peanuts deserves a medal of some kind.

  • Why arn't more foods honey roasted?

  • Pizza Pizza needs to make their creamy garlic dipping sauce available for bulk purchases. Yeah its great with pizza, but I need to order like 4 extra ones every time so I can have them with fish and chicken fingers too. Or I need to figure out how to make it myself. Hmmmm I think this calls for some experimentation...updates to follow.

  • Mr. T's edition of the VH1 show 'Where Are They Now' was the shortest in the show's history. It was 10 seconds long, and consisted of a black screen with the words "Right Behind You" written on it.

  • If you can see Chuck Norris, he can see you. If you can't see Chuck Norris you may be only seconds away from death.

  • There is no theory of evolution, just a list of creatures Vin Diesel allows to live.

  • If you liked any of those last three points you should proably check out these random fact generators: Vin Diesel, Chuck Norris and Mr. T.

    More point form crap outta my head...cause structure takes to much thought.
  • If someone could invent a type of orange juice that tasted good when combined with that after-brushing toothpaste flavour they could proabably make a lot of money.

  • Busta Rhymes: Under or Overrated? Discuss.

  • Terell Owens should make a public donation to some Philly charity for every game the Eagles lose by 6 points or less for the rest of the season. Y'know just to be more of an ass.

  • The song Hit Em High from the movie Space Jam has quite possibly the greatest assemblage of talent on a soundtrack of all time. We're talking Method Man, Busta Rhymes, LL Cool J, B Real and Coolio here people....Coolio!

  • How about this trade: Kevin Garnett for Amare Stoudamire. Can you imagine KG playing with The Matrix and Canada's Golden Boy Chad Kroger Steve Nash? I would definitly buy that Suns jersey.

  • So they're gonna start teaching Inteligent Design in biology classes down in Kansas now. Huh. I dunno why there is such friction between the scientific and religious worlds over stuff like this. Can't was all just agree that Jesus invented science?

  • What is the biggest wild animal you think you could take in a fight? I'm going with a goat. Anything bigger then a goat would dominate me.

  • Mr. Sub makes some of the worst ads on television. Seriously, who are the people running that marketing department?

    I'm just too lazy
    Sure I could probably look these things up, but I'm just too lazy. Think of it like a scavenger hunt...unless of course you already know these answers. Then it'd be more like a....hmmmm, I'm having a tough time with analogies lately...it'd be more like _____________.

    Okay then, the first question is to fill in that blank with a good analogy.

    Second, why do football announcers refer to the New York Giants as the 'New York Football Giants'? Is there another Giants team in New York that I'm supposed to be confused with?

    Third, at the start of Hockey Night in Canada on CBC there is an audio clip played (that I believe is Foster Hewitt's voice) from back when Hockey Night in Canada first started airing. The line in question is: "Good evening hockey fans in Canada, the United States and Newfoundland." How long ago did Newfoundland hook up with the rest of the country? and how old is that audio clip then?

    Alrighty then, now I've gotta go set my lineups before the football games start.

    Quick Question
    Who arbitrarily decided that a good party isn't over "til 6 in the mornin'"?

    So Angry
    Aight I gotta bitch for a little while, so as always feel free to just skip over this post.

    I had a midterm last week, and for the most part as I was writing it I thought it was pretty fair. With the exception of one question that asked me to define a term that I was sure I had never seen before in my life. Then we get the midterms back and the prof decided not to count that question because only 2 people in the class were even close to answering it correctly (It turns out that it was a trivial point made in a guest lecture). So thats all good. Then in the next lecture we're going to go over the tests and address any questions that people felt were marked unfairly.

    So after looking over the exam I see that I lost marks on a question that I gave the textbook answer to. Naturally I would like some clarification on what I lost marks for. But before we can get into the short answer questions we've gotta go over the multiple choice stuff. Now I'll admit I wasn't happy with the wording on a lot of the multiple choice questions because they allowed for multiple interpretations of what the possible answer could be, but I was willing to let that shit go. Apparently some people were not, and so they debated with the prof for a considerable amount of time. As time went on the prof was clearly getting more and more upset with people smack-talking his exam. So he made a couple smart-assed remarks towards the students. This is when I started to get mad. Okay fine you're upset, I get that, but don't shit talk the kids for raising legit points about your questioning methods. Thats just unprofessional.

    Then he pulls this one out: "Alright, enough! If you want to resubmit your test to have the multiple choice questions looked at then I'm going to include the question that no one got right." What the fuck kind of bullshit scare tactic is that?! You can't take a question off because I was unfair and then put it back in to keep people from complaining about something else (the question that was taken off was worth considerably more marks then the multiple choice). I wasn't even going to have the multiple choice questions looked at but I was furious that he would do something like that.

    Now at this point the class is pissed, and hes pissed and everyone is just sitting there all angry at everything...and we haven't even gotten into the short answer questions yet. They didn't go over so well either, there were a lot more smart-ass comments made by the prof towards the class. But I'm pretty sure I'll be getting the marks I deserved out of the whole ordeal...but damnit I know I'm just gonna be angry for the rest of the day. Plus we all know that anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering, and thats the path to the dark side.

    Just some stuff
  • The Tragically Hip have finally released a greatest hits boxset 'Hipeponymous', and damn is it ever great. 2 CDs, 37 songs. Plus 2 DVDs one with their preformance at the Air Canada Centre from last year, and one with all 23 of their music videos. If that doesn't sound like 10 different kinds of awesome then I don't know what does.

  • I thought I might have been jumping the gun calling House the best show on television in that last post. But it is now official, this show dominates the game like none other. If you watch it on a regular basis you know what I'm talking about, and if you don't, well you should.

  • Jacques Demers released a book a few days ago, and in this book he admits that he is illiterate. If this was someone else I'd probably say something derogatory, then make a joke about them not being able to read it. But I'm not going to do that because I've always liked him. He was the one who decided to make a 21 year-old kid named Steve Yzerman the youngest captain in team history. So hes cool in my book.

  • I was gonna post about my basketball pools, but I don't care that much about them and I'm sure most of you care even less. So I'm gonna leave that one alone for a while. I drafted 2 and let the computer handle one, and the computer drafted me 7 point guards and Nene Hilario...I was not impressed.

  • Staying on the basketball topic I've got a question: In NBA Live 06 how do I dive for a loose ball? The computer can do it, but I can't figure it out, and its not in the manual.

    Cameron: "Its Kind of hard to work for a guy that doesn't respect you"
    House: "Why?"
    Cameron: "Is that rhetorical?"
    House: "No, it just seems that way because you can't think of an answer"

    Candy canes?! Are you mocking me?
    I finally got my shit together and had my eyes retested because I lost my old pair of glasses in a ditch somewhere....I think. I just wanted to get my new prescription in the same frames as the old ones but apparently the old style was discontinued. So the bottom line is that I've got new...





    Of course you've got to wait for 'about an hour' while they make your vision correctors. Its like an episode of 24, Jack Bauer can destroy an entire terrorist cell in one hour, what did I do. Well first I had some A&W for lunch. If anyone wants to start a franchise they're looking to open one in Fergus. I think you'd get all the free root beer you could drink, but I'll have to look into that first. Then I got back on the proline wagon. Could've won a couple of bucks, I picked all the right winners but I got greedy and took Montreal by 2, and they won 3-2. I think I might pickup another ticket for tonights games (but that would involve going outside, so who knows how that'll go). Then I made the best purchase since I bought those glasses about 40 minutes prior. The first season of House on DVD. I've decided that its the best show on television. Yeah LOST and 24 are good, but they've got nothing on this guy.
