yeah, i’m 30 and there’s still no way in hell that i’m forking over 45-50 Canadian dollars for a six pack of not-terrible beer and a 26 of the not-cheapest whiskey at the LCBO for someone else’s party. if i’m feeling especially generous i’ll bring a bottle of whiskey to a party for sharing but otherwise, i might as…

...and line outs, and stricter tackling rules, and no blocking, and scrums and a bunch of other stuff i forget from my high school playing days, but as far as actually following the general pace of the game goes, anyone who’s ever committed serious time to the nfl should be able to figure out the gist of rugby w/…

Serpentine Fire an inspired, slightly left field EW&F choice, Burneko. It also has the SINGLE GREATEST GROOVE SWITCH of all time (intro into the first verse, sadly not present in the above video). Hot damn.

i didn’t get my then-gf now-wife an engagement ring cuz we talked about getting married like adults, decided we should do it, then got married two months later in a small-ass ceremony cuz we were basically broke. most diamonds are tacky as shit, anyhow. marriage—it’s not just for your gaudy rich friends anymore!

that’s called brackish, starring anthony anderson and tracee ellis ross

sure. would be nice if they could find “people that know about that stuff” in the public education system, but *breaking news* tons of teachers don’t know shit about the subject they’re teaching. i learned a lot of terribly inaccurate history from a my fifth grade teacher, who i’m pretty sure had relations in the kkk.

Slow news day, eh?

watching football from 10 AM — 8 PM is perfect. i lived on the west coast for a few years and it’s much nicer easing into your day with some football brunch then having an evening free than the alternative. no one accomplishes anything of value on sunday mornings, anyhow.

click the lamontagne link and the comments are you, america:

weird, dorky america is one of the best americas. welcome to the dollhouse, eg.

after reading this article and scanning the comments, i feel confident in concluding:
americans are fucking strange.

i’m no professional coroner, but after a few views of the video, i’m still trying to ascertain what killed the guy? serious internal bleeding? the horns only seem to pierce his leg/side, with the impact on the ground causing more damage...anyhow. very morbidly curious!

on a related note, while this is cruel etc., i…

either way, it’s quite CFL

Berlin Wall coming down (I was about 3.5 years old at the time) followed shortly by the Gulf War. I remember mostly thinking that Berlin was some sort of house and that without its wall it would probably fall due to the lack of structural integrity. The politics of it were all kinda lost on me.

very true, very true. of any nhl prospect, he might have had the widest gap between “pre-NHL hype” and “actual NHL ability,” even though he wasn’t really all that bad. Just... not great. And definitely not Pronger or Kariya great. That nurse uniform, though...

As a Sens fan, I’ve experience more than a few instances of management severely handicapping the team for years via the draft, notably in 1993 when they took Alexandre Daigle 1st overall, ahead of Chris Pronger and Paul Kariya... or in 2005, when they selected Brian Lee at 9th, ahead of Anze Kopitar, Marc Staal,…

I’m not disagreeing re: Spain... yet. Canada could very well be in the mix soon. Starting five of Joseph-Stauskus-Wiggins-Thompson-Olynyk isn’t going to beat the in Rio, but by the next olympics, they’ll definitely be battling Spain for the chance to lose to the US in the final.

Having lived on Vancouver Island for a while, I can attest that there are about as many bald eagles on the island as there are in the entire US. Nothing special. Ravens, on the other hand... now THOSE are some killer, beautiful, intelligent, all-around bad-ass birds.

We can all agree that Canada Geese can go fuck…

let’s be frank, though—you’ve clearly got a dog in this race.

my experience with driving in italy—great and beautiful for getting from city to city (Siena to Rome), mind-fuckingly annoying once you’re in a city. don’t even think about driving in any “old town.”
