Lots of nostalgia in the video below… NHL 94 is the obvious classic of the bunch but I probably spent more time playing EA NHL 2000 than any other video game in my life. Nothing spectacular about that particular game – just came at a time when I had lots of free time (no kids!), [...]
Finding the A&W at the Cornwall Centre food court closed for renovations tonight, a co-worker suggested that we should “nationalize the fast food industry.” I helped a visually impaired patron mix up a protein shake the other day. Now *that’s* customer service! If politics is like sport, losing the leadership race by 44 votes is [...]

The WWE is currently running an angle where a couple of bad guy wrestlers (“heels” in wrestling jargon) are acting like members of a quasi-Tea Party-like group while a Mexican wrestler is the good guy (“babyface”) standing up to their bigotry. This is unique for a couple reasons – wrestling is not known for being [...]
Haven’t done one of these “5 Quick Hits” posts in awhile… Hockey I didn’t miss the NHL when it was locked out but I can honestly say that today was the first day I felt like coming home from work, popping open a beer and settling in to watch a game. Luckily that will be [...]
I know it’s a Tim Hortons commercial designed to tug the heart strings but it does a good job of summarizing why hockey is so important in the Canadian psyche… And just to reinforce the impression that my blog suddenly has Tim Horton’s sponsorship, a Timbits highlights reel… Finally, an old blog post about my [...]
I’m not sure whether to be proud or sad that I caught the vast majority of the references in this video… (If you prefer text links, this one has many of the same memes in the video. And here’s a summary of the year from a Canadian perspective.)

1. What did you do this year that you’d never done before? Saw a photo of the brain of someone I know! Shea’s nephew has had a variety of health issues for the past five years including numerous seizures. This year, he was taken to Vancouver for some operations to address these, as yet, undiagnosed [...]

So after probably more than a year of saying I would get to the monthly card of High Impact Wrestling, Regina’s local wrestling promotion, I finally went last night. And it was AWESOME! I should step back a bit – there are a couple guys at work who go regularly and I always meant to [...]
I wasn’t one of the millions watching the record setting freefall by Felix Baumgartner live today. But even watching the highlights video below took my breath away. Before you watch that video, here’s some highlights from this guy’s other previous jumps around the world to whet your appetite. Now watch this one. Humans are truly amazing creatures sometimes…
I’m tempting to use the “Xmas” tag on this one. Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer newsletter is like the Roger Ebert of reviewing wrestling matches. This Reddit thread contains links to almost all of the matches Meltzer has given the highly coveted and very rare 5 Star rating. Quite a trip down memory lane [...]
