Battle of the Blades followup

So last night was the finale of Battle of the Blades. 
I can sum up this show in four words:
I didn’t watch it.
In fact, I don’t know anyone that did. That doesn’t bode well for CBC.
What was interesting, is that I thought for sure Tie Domi would win. I figured a show like this, if the [...]

Guinness World Records Day

So today is Guinness World Records Day.
It’s a day where the Guinness people encourage people to set new world records in different things.
And people come up with some crazy ideas.
According to this Yahoo story, some of the records trying to be set today includes pulled a double-decker bus with your hair, most people hugging for [...]

FML: A fun web site to visit

There’s a few good web sites out that I visit regularly that I haven’t gotten around to posting on the links on the side.
One of them is FML. Pretty much it stands for F*** My Life. It’s a popular site. So popular, they’ve come out with a book with some of their best suggestions.
The site [...]

Undecided about Flashforward

So one of the new shows I started watching this season has been FlashForward.
And even though we’re seven episodes into the series, I’m still undecided on whether I like it or not.
For those who have never seen it, it’s about what would happen if everyone in the world passed out at the exact same time, [...]

Time for my first keeper hockey pool

I’ve done tons of hockey pools in my life.
I usually do a couple in the regular season, and a couple in the playoffs.
But I’ve never done a keeper pool. It’s always been something I wanted to do, but it’s difficult to get enough people who want to go in on it long-term.
But now, I finally [...]

Football season begins

Not sure if you heard, but the football season began yesterday.

Lingerie football.
Last night was the beginning of the Lingerie Football League.
The Chicago Bliss defeated the Miami Caliente by 29-19 score.
The league was well-recieved, according to news reports, and the game was [...]

Google car hits Ottawa

For those unaware, even online maps are becoming high-tech.
Thanks to Google, maps are now able to be seen in 3D as if you were actually there. So if you’re visiting a town, and want to walk to a building, you can actually see landmarks before you walk so you know the route better.
So far, the [...]

Economy takes toll on mistresses

It seems layoffs are affecting everyone.
A married guy in China has five mistresses. He decides, with the way the economy is going, he can’t afford to keep all five of them. So he schedules a contest to see which one of the five he should keep. There were at least two competitions: one based on [...]

No big trade coming for the Habs

First it was Mats Sundin. Then Marian Hossa. The Sundin again. Then Marian Gaborik, followed by Ilya Kovalchuk. Now, it’s Vincent Lecavalier. Alexander Ovechkin and Jay Bouwmeester were also mentioned in there somewhere.
These are the players that the Montreal Canadiens have supposedly been after in the past year. Of course, none of them are currently [...]

So we’re one day away from beginning my list of the top 100 Montreal Canadiens of all time.
It’s still not too late to give your thoughts on players who might be on the outside looking in.
Let me know who you think should be included.
