That would be Toronto for those of you who might not know. A place where we’re actually disappointed if our sports teams don’t suck.
The Leafs didn’t qualify for the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Raptors bowed out in 6 games to the New Jersey Nets, the Blue Jays have been decimated by injuries and are 1-9 in their last 10 games.
Does anyone know if our soccer team- Toronto FC- have even scored a goal yet? Thank God Ricky Williams tested positive for marijuana. He might actually have to stay another year with the Argos.
Now, If I had posted this yesterday morning as I intended, I wouldn’t have to deal with the Blue Jays winning their second in a row and Toronto FC not only scoring their first goal, but actually winning..... All I can say is, Thank God for the Leafs.
That’s all folks
Warner Brothers has decided to pull all screenings of up coming films such as Harry Potter, Nancy Drew and Oceans 13 because of Canada’s lax laws on movie piracy.
Which is OK by me. I’ve already downloaded and seen those films. They all sucked.
Turning over a new four leaf clover
Sworn enemies from Northern Ireland's bitter past joined forces Tuesday atop a new Northern Ireland government, an astonishing achievement that both sides pledged would consign decades of death and destruction to history.
The official celebration of the merger will be followed by a good old fashion piss-up and a big donnybrook.
Pops come to blows
The Boston Pops' opened their concert season with a brawl in the balcony at Symphony Hall.
The fight started after one of the two men involved tapped the other on the shoulder with a program to complain about noise, police said.
I'm still waiting word on whether they are members of the Irish Parliment, or if the Pops were performing the 1812 Overture.
Hazzard hoax upsets Duke
Actor John Schneider found out this week, the nearly $10 million eBay bid for General Lee – the 1969 Dodge Charger made famous by "The Dukes of Hazzard" television series – is a hoax.
The $9,900,500 million bid to buy the coveted piece of TV land, sent shockwaves through the online auction world and set an eBay record, but has missed the first payment deadline.
Was the bidders name, Hugh Jass, any clue?
Video Ozzfest or SHARON the spotlight
Ozzy Osbourne is giving fans the chance to direct his video for "I Don’t Wanna Stop", the first single from his May 22 Epic release "Black Rain". The winning clip will become the official video and will be serviced to video outlets all over the world. This is the ultimate Ozzy fan’s chance — on their own terms, with all the right tools — to work with the Ozzman himself while getting few accolades.
Which just goes to show, aging rockers are cheap, lazy bastards.
IKEA parkingfluggen, but you have to put it together yourself
By the end of the month, IKEA will set aside two parking spots for environmentally friendly hybrid vehicles at each of its 11 superstore parking lots.
It's part of a flurry of green initiatives being pitched to Canadian consumers this year, as firms from retailers to banks and insurers aim to capitalize on the growing realization of the effects of climate change.
Personally I couldn’t care less. I always get great parking when I shop. Why, just this week I got a fantastic deal on a computer desk and a fridge with the door missing, while getting primo parking right next to the curb. Beat that IKEA.
MexiCanada
Federal documents revealed, more Canadians were reported assaulted while visiting Mexico over the past seven years than any other travel destination.
A total of 1,133 Canadian travellers reported to Canadian authorities they were assaulted on foreign soil between the years 2000 and 2006. Of those, Mexico leads the list with 173 reported assault cases. China was next with 105 and Cuba with 62. Thailand was fourth with 45 and the United States followed with 40
They also found out of all the travel destinations Mexico is where you are most likely to see Mexicans, so watch out!
