Yeah, the stated reason for a salary cap, to help small markets like Winnipeg and Edmonton remain competitive, is shown to be a sham yet again. Both those teams are finding they have to overpay to retain their stars, and they both are having to unload good core players to remain under the cap. The hard cap benefits no…

Ah, you’re the one...

Yeah, thanks for the clarification, it’s as I figured. There’s just this contradiction, where some rave about the luxurious decadent lifesaving technology that it is, and then some rave about the absolutely easy install, just feeds right off the toilet tank supply line, done in five minutes with no tools, and I figure…

So then that’s a more complicated install than people usually claim, now you have to run wires, no?

I’ve almost consumed bread that was mouldy, stopped only because it became obvious once it came out of the toaster. Before I put it in the toaster, the mould was too faint or non-contrasting so that I didn’t see it.

Yep. I can attest to that phenomenon in Arkansas, with young adults having never left the state, with New Orleans and Mexico literally just right there, beckoning on long weekends and the like.

I hated spoilers before they became a thing and spoiler alerts, and I’ve always tried to avoid trailers. So many of them, you don’t need to see the movie once you’ve seen the trailer, they blow their load on there, the big gag or the surprise villain, so that watching the movie can be anti-climactic. Sometimes you’re…

Best of the Seattle Big Four by a wide margin:

Okay, okay, okay... I have a question. I’ve used very sophisticated, some might say decadent single-purpose bidets in Europe, and they have hot water and cold water plumbed in, so you can adjust the temperature as you ablute.

They get their license after causing an accident.

I’m very, very old-school a luddite, to the point that I still had cable until recently, and only got a cellphone/smartphone two years ago. And yeah, the lack of navigating skill by the yoots drives me up the wall, the most innocuous, shortest journeys get plugged in, it’s like a crutch. “You go north over the bridge…

You have to try to hear at the movie theatre you patronize?

“She Sells Sanctuary” was one of those songs when after hearing 30 seconds of it being played on the day of the record release and the big reveal on CHOM-FM, I ran to the phone to call my buddy. “Turn on CHOM now!”, and I hung up. After the song ended, we called each other back and raved.

I thought Moxy Früvous was an okay joke, as those things go, they weren’t as clever as Radio Free Vestibule or Rock et Belles Oreilles, but I figured they were mostly harmless and having a go at it. Until years later when I found out that Jian Ghomeshi was a founding member, and then the whole thing seemed a lot less…

There’s no real equivalence or beef between Barenaked Ladies and Our Lady Peace, they were playing a different sport. Not sure why Our Lady Peace never made it big, they had a good first album and the second had two monster songs, their lead singer was charismatic and made the girls swoon. And then, they leaned into…

Completely agree, ELP was totally underrated in the 90s.

Matthew Sweet was 100% fun.

Starred for Live being a steaming pile portion of your comment, not for the Gin Blossoms portion.
