Thanks for the “Million Dollar Baby” spoiler, asshole!

Don’t you mean ‘ammers?

The only album of theirs I still have is Demmamussabebonk (I’m not looking up how that’s supposed to be spelled) but it’s pretty great too. There weren’t too many soul-influenced punk bands featuring a trombonist and a singing drummer in the ‘90s.

Hy hat’s off to Annie for mentioning Seaweed (OK, I wasn’t wearing a hat to begin with but the fact remains I’m currently hatless), one of the great, mostly forgotten bands of the ‘90s.

Aw hell, he’s even more punk than me!

I’m interpreting that to mean you finally got to see him after he died and were somewhat disappointed. There’s just no pleasing some people.

Y’know, I wasn’t before, but now I are worry about get cash

Maybe I’m just unappealing, but while I was approached by tons of women when carrying my infant daughter around, I don’t recall any of them actually throwing themselves at me. They mainly wanted to see the kid for some reason.

One of my friends compared him to Snagglepuss before I saw it, so my enjoyment was kind of hampered. Ruined, even.

My first exposure to the name was from reading the comic strip Shoe as a kid, so Skyler has always been a bird’s name as far as I was concerned.

It’s that classic JOFA helmet!

I briefly took up smoking in college just so I could learn to chug a beer with a smoke in my mouth like that. (I never managed to do it without making a mess or hurting myself).

Yep, Degrassi. From JK to Grade One I went to the school where they later shot Degrassi Junior High (Until at least very recently the building was still there but hadn’t been used as a school since the very early ‘80s) and went to the same school as Neil Hope (Wheels), who once gave a speech about what it was like to…

I saw Sloan at a free festival a few weeks ago and they were awesome, as always!

Oh, I definitely think the law is a positive force overall and maintaining Quebec’s French heritage is important (or should be) to all of Canada, but as you said, the overzealous enforcement is kind of ridiculous. (And in fairness, I believe that Italian restaurant thing ended up being explained away as a…

Also in that Married… With Children episode where he showed up as Peg’s cousin

Forget “Subtitled” in French. Quebec language laws require signage to be either all-French or the French has to be significantly larger than the English. There was a case recently where an Italian restaurant in Quebec was targeted because the names of the dishes on their menu were in Italian rather than French.

Yeah, I nearly passed out just reading about his story years ago. I don’t know if I’m ever going to be ready to actually watch this.

As a lazy graphic designer myself, I have a pretty good idea how this went down. Someone who makes the decisions did a Google image search for “american flag graphic” or something similar, saw the logo free of context and sent it to one of the designers (or more likely, printed it on a B/W printer and handed it to…
