Pearls of Wisdom

Thursday, April 22nd, 2004

Again, our friend Stephan Pastis is humouring us with an entertaining series of comic strips. I like the way he does serials like this sometimes.
This weeks plotline involves Pig and Rat being surrounded by a herd of electronics salesmen. Today’s strip made me laugh so hard I almost died. Be sure to […]

My Gross Hospital Story

Thursday, April 22nd, 2004

I feel like an old man discussing his health problems, but I am so happy with the outcome, I have to blab. If you are easily grossed out, skip to an earlier article.

Thursday, April 15th, 2004

My only comment on last night’s game is….
“The Leafs fans ain’t so cocky now!!”

Wil Wheaton Is Out Of His Cage Again

Wednesday, April 14th, 2004

Those of you/us who remember Star Trek: The Next Generation remember “the annoying kid” who was generally not overly popular with the fan population. The neat thing is that he has a blog that is quite the interesting/informative read from time-to-time and has turned into a bit of an author. Although I haven’t […]

A Good Day In Television!

Tuesday, April 13th, 2004

I know I have strange taste in women. I always have. That thing last week on askmen.com just proves the fact that I don’t think the way the rest of them do.
Tonight I was flipping through the dial trying to find Navy NCIS when I found a new show on CH that made […]
