IKEA and Canine Anatomy

Thursday, August 31st, 2006


Look at this picture carefully. This is the cover of the most recent IKEA catalogue.

Notice anything about the dog in the picture?

Apparently IKEA has pulled all of the catalogues from their stores. I guess it’s now a collector’s item.

I guess with everything else going on in this picture whomever approved this wasn’t exactly drawn to the dog’s anatomy.

Andre Agassi

Tuesday, August 29th, 2006


Last night I watched the Pavel/Agassi match at the US Open.

While I usually never watch tennis I have to say that this match was quite exhilirating. Here’s Agassi, arguably pro tennis’s biggest star for many many years, in his last tournament ever.

The entire crowd was behind this guy to the point where the announcer had to constantly remind the fans to please be quiet. Add to that the heckles that came on almost every Pavel serve. You could feel the anticipation and support for this man throughout the game.

He won.

Now onto the next round.

40 More Days…

Friday, August 25th, 2006


October 4th is the day that the Toronto Maple Leafs will officially begin this hockey season.

With all of the roster moves made over the past season by GM JFJ, it looks like we will at least make the playoffs this year. Last year was an embarrassment that cannot be repeated anytime soon.

Bring on the Sens. It’s time to remind them what it’s like to choke again.

Go Leafs Go

Speedsolving

Ever seen someone solve a rubiks cube really fast?

Check this out.

Too bad I can do this with my left foot with my eyes closed.

This guy is nothing!

Private Health Care Is NOT Evil

Wednesday, August 23rd, 2006


The election of this guy as head of the CMA is a good thing for the reason that it will at least expand the debate on the role of the private sector in health care delivery in this country.

He’s an operator of a private clinic, yet he rejects the US-Style of private care.

The world is not ending! Pigs are not flying!

JT vs TH

Friday, August 18th, 2006

Bang! Boom! Bap!

Scrap in pop music land.

Who will come out on top? The former boy-band member or the American-Idol winner?

The 50 Cent/Ja Rule quarrel has nothing on JT and Taylor Hicks!

Perhaps these two will start packing heat and wearing bulletproof vests.

Creative Mugging

Wednesday, August 16th, 2006

This is certainly an interesting way to distract someone before you pick their pocket.

I saw this happen once.

At the zoo.

With monkeys.

Not humans.

2 years to the day…

Tuesday, August 15th, 2006


Today marks two years without Phish.

The day the music stopped was August 15th, 2004 in Coventry, VT. Surrounded by over a hundred thousand phamily members Trey, Mike, Page, and Fishman called it quits.

A sad, sad day for thousands of phans around the world.

Check out etree to get some sweet shows. Dave talks about his thoughts on etree over here today.

Actually, get the August 14 and 15, 2004 Phish shows off of etree.org. Not the best playing that Phish has ever had, but a must-have show.

And now I go throw on my birks, dreadlock my hair, and listen to my tapes.
