For those of us in Canada, it’s on BBC Earth tonight, preceded by a one hour making of special. Coincidentally and happily, BBC Earth is offering a free preview until April 24. Shaw HD 248 for me.

A solid reminder that we have plenty of fuckwits north of the 49th as well. Thank you to Nelly for not only sharing this, but for sharing what those great kids gave you.

Yup. A good-size playlist could come out of this, of course.

The good news for them, then, is ICE will come find them and move them out of those hellish inner cities. Win/win, right?

Ever since he was elected classic rock stations* in Canada have gone bananas spinning “Armageddon” by ‘70s band Prism. There’s a dated reference to “Jerry and Linda in the Whitehouse,” but sometimes these days it feels like the song was otherwise decades ahead of its time.

I would so be measuring those doll hands and finding smaller replacements for a sneak attack. Also, maybe some orange food coloring.

Now I want to know what the hell has happened to the remake of that. Doug Liman was tied to it, but that was 3 years ago. No sign now, as far as I can see.

Comedy gold, right there.

Infielder, so clearly we’re talking insider trading.

I often have something of a similar shape emanating from my butt. It’s only permanent if you have a sense of smell, though.

I’m sure this explains how NCAA players are eligible for the draft but CIS (in Canada) players are not, but I blacked out and woke up on the kitchen floor, the dog licking my face. Even then, everything seemed fine, but then the dog called me Davey.

It’s a minor obsession. A couple of decades ago I wrote a screed of a letter to the editor complaining about the anchors of one of the local news shows starting almost every story with “Well...” I had people look me up in the goddamned phone book and call to thank me. Which was kinda weird.

15 out of 17 paragraphs (in the transcript here; don’t anyone make me click on a link) start with “Well.” It’s just a lazy place setter to give him time to gather his thoughts, such as they are.

The older you get, the more often that happens. Just you wait.

Well placed comma there. I applaud.

Oooooh! Clever what you did there.

Another point: Every time I watch NBC cover hockey and realize how much we gained when Pierre McGuire moved there.

As I noted elsewhere, Canadians speak the same language (football-wise) as Americans, barring one fewer down, a few more yards, and extra player, and a few other things. We don’t need stuff “splained to us as much. Also, our basic cable brings in Fox and all the other American networks, so if we don’t watch CTV we…

Yes, because I have to get out a stepladder. Is it difficult to comment while typing with two hands holding guns and building a wall at the same time?

I suspect you’ll find people bitching and moaning that they’re having to put up with the locals instead of getting the real pros. Also, remember economies of scale: the US is 10X or so larger than Canada, it’s a US product. Think of it as a pool broadcast that we utilize, and are able to do so because we live on your…
