At Sears here in Canada a couple days ago with my wife so she could pick up a cheap spring jacket, I was eyeballing the bizarre volume of assorted crap they keep on shelves in front of the tills, and this thing of beauty caught my eye. Even better, there were two of them! They certainly know their customer base.

I choose to remember the sheer joy.

Someone put the emPHAsis on the wrong sylLABble.

Ron Howard did a documentary about the tour, Eight Days a Week. They did a good job of lifting the music out from behind the mess of noise. And the answer is No, the Beatles did not mime their playing. Worth watching.

I have a great story to share about her. A former friend is a trombone player, and in the 1980s was in the Canadian military in Ottawa and played in the army band. One year when he (I’ll call him K) was there, Vera Lynn came through on tour with a small ensemble, and they used some members of the army band to top…

I for one find our new chicken overlords finger lickin’ good.

I probably should have thought of including a picture. So many are so good. Look at the size of that fucker’s head in the first one.

Even though a lot of it is pushed on by injuries, it’s about goddamn time they stopped picking the same arthritic names. If the teams won’t develop the players, the national program needs to give it all a push.

Dude, get the nomenclature right. It’s Mary Shelley’s Oliver Khan.

That might have been a tad premature. But at least he’s walked away from that and has been going at the English clubs ignoring their youth academies.

Just don’t take one of mine.

Which keeps dying.

I quickly get bored watching on TV, but I would love to see it live, in some big cavernous venue where you have to watch on a distant screen and all you really care about is who is getting the next round.

I think Sour Grapes is still running on Netflix. In it, you get to see how Koch got ripped off and decide he wanted out of collecting. Heartbreaking. Or hilarious. I can’t remember which. Good movie, though.

If you were Canadian, you would have ranked curling high up the list. British, you would have listed darts or snooker. All of these probably have more drinking from the competitors than the fans.

Some football (sorry: soccer) games will have no fans because of shit fans pulled the previous game, so that doesn’t count. But this comes pretty close, I think. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-20700529

Indeed. But I love me some karma, too.

Well, he didn’t sleep with my wife, so I’ll go a little easier on him.

Would you like a list? How long do I have?

Pospisil was as high as #25 in 2014. It’s an injury that’s pushed him down. Well, that, and he’s also a Canadian.
