Good morrow ladies and gents.
Special thoughts go to E-ve and her family today. And thanks also to those doing their jobs to the best of their abilities.
Spider-Man saved the day in Bangkok on Tuesday, for real. A Thai fire fighter dressed as Spidy to rescue as autistic student from a 3rd floor building ledge. The boy wouldn’t move for the regular fire squad so when the mother mentioned his love of super heroes the real life hero went back to the station to grab his costume. He says he keeps it to help liven up school fire drills. I think he should keep it. Thank you, Spider-Man.
And who says that figure skaters don’t have a little fight in them. Canadian men’s champ Patrick Chan has taken his shots at French champ and former World champion Brian Joubert just days before this year’s championships. Apparently Joubert was a little bit of a poor sport last year after he lost to, now retired, Canadian Jeffery Buttle. He said that Jeff was perfect, but didn’t try to land the tricky quad. He then went on to complain that the scoring system is broken because it doesn’t reward enough points for harder tricks. Chan though doesn’t like it. With both dudes being pretty young we could be in for a long rivalry. Chan is 18 and Joubert is 24 this could be a great rivalry, here’s hoping.
We’re excited to announce that we’ve been invited to write with the ladies and men at www.hotpinkgeek.com
The first post is started and we hope to have it up soon. Go check out the site, it’s on the left side with our other favourites.
The Junos go Sunday night. Anybody excited? Hello? Anybody? I think that it may be more fun to watch Russell Peters do stand-up for a couple of hours with musical performances mixed in. Forget the award show. I will say that I have always wanted to see the Juno Cup hockey game played. This year’s game will be played Friday night at the UBC Thunderbird arena in Vancouver. Tickets are on sale from Ticketmaster for $14.99.
Here’s something that has been bugging me for quite sometime and may end up needing its’ own blog. Tim Horton’s “Roll Up The Rim To Win” is killing the environment. Every day I drink coffee and I know a lot of other people that do the same. Some of us have travel mugs, some of us don’t. But what I do know is that every year during the contest all of us get paper cups that go in the garbage. Here’s hoping that Tim’s comes up with something like a scratch card of roll up card or something that they can use for people that have a mug.
Kudos to Alex Rodriguez for taking the high road and saying that he hopes the other 103 MLB players on the guilty of banned substance use list never are revealed. There is a huge chance to deflect bad publicity by having reporters go after their local team and players. But it looks like A-Rod is going to be a man about things and take it on his billion dollar chin.
And better late than never for Chris Bosh who says he will be a man and support his daughter financially. He says he loves his daughter and respects her mother. Good for you young man.
That’s all for today. Ciao.

Tuesday Morning Musings - Why Aren't There Any Songs About Tuesdays?
Good morning internet.
I’m going to get this off of my chest quickly. I’m not happy with Greg Gutfeld of The Red Eye on the Fox News network. His comments were uncalled for and upsetting. With that said I don’t hold anyone other than those who spoke responsible. I emailed Mr. Gutfeld yesterday to let him know that he could count me as one of the people looking for an apology. I also told him that I didn’t expect to hear back from him and so far I haven’t.
Last night Japan beat South Korea in the final of the World Baseball Classic in an excellent 10 inning game at Dodger Stadium. Both teams put on a baseball clinic with few errors, fantastic base running and over all good baseball. It’s the kind of game you would want to show a group of youngsters learning to play the game at a higher level. The only thing I can’t handle is the way they all take that big step forward when they hit, especially from the left side. But oh well. They’re much better than your old friend Wally.
Stephen Colbert has again taken the world by storm. And this time he’s taking a part of space as well. The TV funny newsman told his viewers to sent write in ballots to NASA for the naming contest of the room at the international space station. Colbert smoked the competition, finishing with 40,000 more votes than the most popular NASA suggestion. NASA has the final say in the decision of course. But this is fantastic.
Note: What ever happened to Rory Fitzpatrick?
Say it ain’t so Chris, say it ain’t so. Reports have surfaced that Raptor star and one time Toronto weather dude Chris Bosh is being sued in an American court claim. His ex live-in is saying that he kicked her out of the house and cut off financial support when she was 7 months pregnant. Baby girl Trinity was born on November 2, 2008. A sworn affidavit by Allison Mathis says that the baby was conceived in New Orleans during the 2008 All-Star weekend. The All-Star weekend last year was February 15thish which puts the November birth 9 months later. I checked. Here’s hoping that this story has a lot more to it than meets the eye. The last thing that anyone needs is to see another promising young man turned into the anti-role model. This guy does great charity work with Boys and Girls Clubs he’s charming, funny and a pretty good player. But none of that will matter if he’s the second coming of Shawn Kemp.
Anybody wanna join my collection to buy the Montreal Canadiens? I’m thinking of calling Jim Balsillie and see if he wants to be part of the group. Reports out of Montreal say that George Gillett has hired BMO Capital Markets to assess various assets in his holdings. Gillett also holds stakes in a NASCAR team and Liverpool FC in the English Premier League. The Canadiens are already in a free fall and this isn’t helping the cause right now. I’m very close to praying for a play-off spot. So much for the magical 100th anniversary season.
Bip ups today go to E-ve. She’s our most faithful reader and biggest inspiration.
Chuck was good last night. The secrets start to unwind, the supporting cast played their usual goofy selves and overall it was an enjoyable hour of TV.
Heroes was good too, and now I finally know who “Rebel” is. And I feel like an idiot for not even having them on my list of suspects. Well played writers, well played.
HIMYM was a re-run. But with the NCAA’s getting ready to start the Sweet 16 games this weekend it was a good tie in to see Barney’s 64 lady bracket on the chalk board.
That’s all for today I think. I’m going to post the email that I sent to The Red Eye on the myspace blog, feel free to take a look.

Monday Morning Shaky Leg Musings
Good morning my friends.
At this time I would like to make a confession that my legs are shaky and a little tired after hitting the Wii Fit with E-ve last night. It was the first time that I’d used the thing for more than 10 minutes, and only the second time that I’d ever used it at all. I put in 31 minutes of exercise and yoga (that’s right I said yoga) and felt the burn for sure.
Note: Do not do your body test and Wii age after your work out if you want a flattering result. My legs were a little shaky, my balance was off and my number was not good. I’m embarrassed.
The World Baseball Classic final is set for tonight at 9pm Eastern in Los Angeles. South Korea will take on Japan for the 4th time in the tournament looking to knock off the favourites. The only problem is that Japan has won 2 out of the 3 games against S. Korea so far with a combined score of 21-8. My money is on Japan.
This boy would like to point out that he was smart enough to pack his own lunch for work today, and he’s excited to eat it.
Ummm, I just geeked out a little bit when I found the news that New Line is going to make a MacGyver movie! I can only imagine how awesome it would be. I hope that Jamie and Adam from MythBusters could make cameo appearances in the film. This is fantastic news.
Also, I’m geeking a little because all of my TV shows are on tonight. Chuck, House, Big Bang Theory, HIMYM and Heroes all hit the small screen. I’m still waiting for a new blog from Captain Awesome, but I’ll forgive him because he’s bigger than me.
Barney has a new blog regarding approved and rejected sleep wear for men and women. It’s hard not to agree with the man. Check the link on the left side to see what he has to say.
Today’s big ups go to Canadian musician Joel Plaskett for being our myspace friend and for making good, catchy music. There was a time when “Nowhere with you” played over and over again on the old mp3 player.
Time to go for now, have a great Monday and enjoy the week, we’ll be back.

Sunday Morning Madness Musings
Happy Sunday morning people of the world.
We’re at work of course, but that’s not stopping us from watching NCAA 2nd round action on CBS HD. Leo Rautins kid Andy is playing for Syracuse and has been pointed out as a big piece of the puzzle for The Orange. Even Leo got a shout out from the commentators for being an excellent passer back in the day. Go Orange!
Breaking news: Don’t anger a moose! A family learned this lesson in B.C. when they tried to scare away one of Canada’s most majestic beasts with an air horn. The moose had been tramping around the house in the snow and the dog wasn’t impressed and started barking. The moose had enough and charged the house with the family slamming the door just in time. The moral of the story is, don’t piss off a moose.
Harrison Ford finally proposed to Calista Flockhart. There, now you know.
Pizza w/ E-ve last night came with movie coupons. It’s a good time of year to have them. Let’s take a look to see what movies I can talk her in to seeing. Super Capers has Awesome (Ryan McPartlin) from Chuck in the cast, and I do kinda like that guy. Sugar is a baseball movie, so I’m in. Monsters vs. Aliens could be a good animated feature, good for a laugh. I’m also keen on Angels and Demons, The Great Buck Howard and Race to Witch Mountain. Don’t judge me.
The semi-long range forecast looks good for us here in Toronto. There’s a little rain on the way, but the temperature is on the rise, the sun is going to be out, and we should be in double digits before the end of next week. And that’s ok for me because I’ll be off Thursday and Friday.
Today’s myspace.com big ups go to none other than Taylor Swift who is now our friend.
Random love for Rachael Ray. No reason, just had her pop into my head. Maybe I’m hungry.
Other celebrity love goes to: Guy Fieri from the Food Network, Neil Patrick Harris because he’s Neil Patrick Harris, Kevin Smith – no reasons needed, Harrison Ford for being Indiana Jones, and Sean Connery for being his father, Russell Peters for being a hilarious Canadian, Kim Mitchell for rocking my world and Wally Szczerbiak for being our name sake.
That’s all for today folks. As we say: Cheers, and happy Sunday.

1st Saturday Of Spring Morning Musings
Good Saturday morning mes amis. I hope that everyone is ready to relax, kick back and enjoy their weekend. As for me, I’m at work, day dreaming of buzzer beaters and a Montreal win over Toronto on Hockey Night in Canada.
I’m upset with my bracket so this is all I’m going to say: I was 24-4 going into the final four games of the first round. And then I went 1-3 in the late set last night. I’m not happy.
Spring is now here. We are in the first full day since it rang in at 7-something a.m. yesterday. The temperature was a chilly -2 degrees when I left the apt this morning, but it’s Spring so I’ll deal with it, and so will you.
I’ve had Toto’s Africa stuck in my head for the last 2 days. I’m not sure why. I just have. There was a scene in Chuck a few weeks ago where Jeffster played the song as an audition for Ellie and Awesome’s wedding. The link is in today’s section. Not great singing, not at all, but I love the show and the song.
Final performance of Evil Dead: The Musical in Ottawa tonight on Campus at Carlton University. If you haven’t seen it yet, get there early. Last night’s show sold out quick with a waiting list 2 pages long within 7 minutes of box office opening. Tickets go on sale at 6:30, get there before that, bring friends and get ready for a good time. Bravo to the cast, crew and audiences.
Umm, kids are smoking Smarties now? In the States kids are having a harder time getting cigarettes so they are using candy instead. Macleans magazine has the story in their Health section online. These Smarties aren’t hard chocolate candies, it’s candy dust in a tube. The kids are inhaling the dust and blowing it out. There are kids blowing rings and exhaling through their nose. Now, I huffed some pixie sticks when I was a kid, but this is more than I ever thought of. I found a bunch of Youtube videos. It’s weird, crazy and makes me sad.
I played some Guitar Hero: World Tour this week with the guitar only. It wasn’t bad, the song choices are fun, my only fault found was that the vocals were low because I wasn’t playing with a microphone or singer. Also, Ted Nugent plays way too big a part in the game. Boo Ted Nugent.
I also got on the Wii Fit board for the very first time. E-ve kicks my behind in the games, and has better balance than I do. But here’s hoping that I can get better. I’m a big fan of the Skiing games, I like leaning forward to go faster. Anytime I can go faster it’s a good thing.
Point form time.
- Myspace is more fun than I remembered.
- Cabbie makes me smile all the time.
- I need a new TV.
- Time moves so slowly some times.
- I’m trying not to Youtube music videos and sing along.
- 0 degrees Celsius right now.
- Thoughts and prayers are with the families and loved ones of the 4 Cdn soliders killed in Afghanistan.
- The Junos are coming. March 29 on CTV w/ Russell Peters hosting.
That’s all for now. Bon Weekend!

Midweek Musings - Wednesday Morning Hangover Edition
Good morning ppl, I hope that the green beer isn’t causing green mornings.
St. Pat’s has come and mostly gone and that means that Easter is next. I know this because The Dollar Store already has all of their Easter stuff out on the shelves. The chocolate tempts me everywhere.
One last St. Patrick’s Day note. Turns out President Obama has a little Irish in him. And not just on the 17th of March. Apparently his great-great-great grandfather on his mother’s side came from Offaly county in Ireland a long long time ago. This guy really is from everywhere.
Now I like Twitter as much as the next guy, probably more, but this little tidbit caught my attention and made me shake my head. Former Toronto Raptor and current Milwaukee Buck Charlie Villanueva was caught by his coach Twittering during halftime of a tie game against the Detroit Pistons. “In da locker-room, snuck to post my twitt. We’re playing the Celtics, tie ball game at da half. Coach wants more toughness. I gotta step up.” If you want to follow Charlie V he’s at CV31.
Guess what?! It’s Britney Baby! (we’re keeping it family friendly ) The new comeback queen of pop hits the Air Canada Centre tomorrow night to the delight of a whole whack of girls on my Facebook. Does she still have it? The tabloids make it look like she still has the body, the singles make it sound like she still has the right team behind her, and hell, the tickets are sold so why not?
Yahoo Canada Music has a link to the If You Seek Amy video. And because we are a family show I can’t tell you why I liked the song so much the first time E-ve let me listen to it on the iPod. But I’ll let you click the link and figure it out for yourselves.
MSN made me smile today with their Top 10 Websites for Kids list. I like kids, I like the internet and I like that there are responsible parents that will let their kids use the internet with the proper protection, and supervision. The list includes the PBS Kids site, something called Club Penguin, a kid approved Whyville, and of course Webkinz. I’ll link to the MSN article and gallery, if you have kids it’s worth a look.
The Bracket is set now folks. Morehead State beat Alabama State 58-43 last night to claim the last 16 seed in the NCAA tournament. They now get a match up with number 1 seed Louisville. It also means that now that the last match up has been announced the rush is on to get your bracket done. I know I brought it up yesterday, but this is important my friends.
And in Toronto there’s tasty news to report. A new initiative is taking place that will bring new food to the streets. The hot dog will have a monopoly no more. This summer you’ll be able to find Souvlaki, pad Thai, jerk Chicken and more at various street corners. I love me a hot dog, but this is pretty cool, and with the multi-culturalness in Toronto it’s a great idea.
That’s all for today mes amis. Go forth and enjoy your Wednesday.

St. Pat’s has come and mostly gone and that means that Easter is next. I know this because The Dollar Store already has all of their Easter stuff out on the shelves. The chocolate tempts me everywhere.
One last St. Patrick’s Day note. Turns out President Obama has a little Irish in him. And not just on the 17th of March. Apparently his great-great-great grandfather on his mother’s side came from Offaly county in Ireland a long long time ago. This guy really is from everywhere.
Now I like Twitter as much as the next guy, probably more, but this little tidbit caught my attention and made me shake my head. Former Toronto Raptor and current Milwaukee Buck Charlie Villanueva was caught by his coach Twittering during halftime of a tie game against the Detroit Pistons. “In da locker-room, snuck to post my twitt. We’re playing the Celtics, tie ball game at da half. Coach wants more toughness. I gotta step up.” If you want to follow Charlie V he’s at CV31.
