Today’s winners..

Some amusing stories and links that kept me preoccupied today.

Apparently, Dave Grohl will drink beer with anyone who listens to Foo Fighters these days

Sure their ad campaign is funny, but this is the same school that banned wireless Internet

Corner Ass: Harper tapes cameo for popular Canadian comedy

Hey, at least it means she won’t be singing. [...]

This clip makes the Russian Roulette scene in the Deer Hunter look like a game of Crazy Eights. Check out what these dudes are willing to go through to decide who’s the tongue twister master.

Just caught this facinating trailer for 49 Up, a British documentary coming out this fall. Apparently the production company has been producing a doc on the same group of kids every seven years since they were all seven. If math serves me correctly, this will be the 7th film as the group has now reached age [...]

There’s nothing like reading about a good train wreck to pull you through Tuesday. Word around the world is that Paris Hilton should have stuck with home made porn since her singing career seems to be going down the shitter.
Album sales of her self-titled debut album failed to break the 100,000 mark –  something that [...]

TPB TCB bitches

The new trailer for the feature Trailer Park Boys Movie snuck online without me knowing — I don’t even know when. Anyway, it kicks ass, even though it sounds like there’s going to be some Rush on the soundtrack (Rush sucks).
Ivan Reitman is producing and it shows. It seems to have more polish than the [...]

Deliver us from Nelly…

I’ve been listening to J Dilla’s “The Shining” for the past few weeks and all I can think is how I wish this album had dropped back in the spring so I wouldn’t have had to spend the last three months listening to Nelly Furtado’s “Promiscuous” and Gnarls Barkley’s “Crazy”. Don’t get me wrong, I [...]

Halifax Pop Explosion has released a partial lineup for this year’s festival and I gotta say, it’s not looking explosive — more like snap, crackle, pop. Sure, Joel Plaskett is good, but he plays there every weekend.
We are Wolves, Jon-rae the River and Great Lake Swimmers are also pretty good, but I’ve seen them all [...]

I’ve been living in the fine ghetto of Parkdale for about a month now and I’ve slowly been getting used to the place. That is until yesterday evening when I was walking up Cowan St. and looked down to see a horrified face looking up at me from the sidewalk [pictured below]. I nearly crapped [...]

Today’s winners

I know, it’s not even noon, but I’ve already found a fantastic crop of winners. I guess I’ll add more if waste as much time this afternoon.

Megadeth so pissed at UN that they rename their new album
Hey Paul, if you don’t want to be booed, stop beating up the French drivers
Bam Margera’s uncle Vito pinched [...]

Leave the Segway “Human Transporter“ to the meter maids. Sign me up for the Cruzin Cooler “Awesome Maker”.
One of my wildest dreams just came true thanks to this brilliant combination of innovation and design. I normally walk around with beers on me at all times. Problem is, they’re often warm by the time I need [...]
