Friday Fun Link – 10 Wrestling Matches That Turned Into Real Fights

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – EPL vs. CPL (Aug 2019, Feb 2022)

I’ve had the pleasure of visiting both the newly built Calgary Public Library Central Branch (in 2019) and newly-refurbished Edmonton Public Library (in 2022). And you know what?

Tampa Bay Rays players refused to wear the Gay Pride logo on their uniforms this weekend — saying their religious beliefs wouldn't […]

Friday Fun Link – Stanley Cupple

Another Wordle variant, Cupple is one by the NHL where you try to guess a player by narrowing down various facts, stats and categories (division, position, nation, points, goals and Stanley Cup wins.) Requires a fairly encyclopedic knowledge of current NHL players which means that 10-year old Jason would likely blow nearly-50 year old Jason […]
