Canucks seething after hit
Hockey is a physical game, but watching the video of Colorado rookie Steve Moore’s hit on Naslund over and over does nothing but piss me off. Clearly an elbow on that play yet no call from the 4 blind mice. To make things worse Brad May is handed a retaliation penalty for roughing right after the incident. Although the Canucks went on to win the game 1-0 they are still pretty steamed.
My favourite quotes about it are from Bertuzzi and May:
“That kid’s a piece of sh–,” Bertuzzi said. “We play them twice more, and hopefully they’ll keep him [in the lineup]. It’s called respect. Things like that kid . . . shows the respect we have around the league.
“The issue is: Markus is reaching and the puck’s not there and this guy blindsides him. It’s bullsh–. It’s a joke.”
The Avalanche play the Canucks here again March 3 and visit Vancouver five days later.
“There’s definitely a bounty on his head,” Canuck banger Brad May said. “Clean hit or not, that’s our best player and you respond. It’s going to be fun when we get him.”
Naslund could be out a week if he has a concussion. UGH! Even reporters in Denver are disgusted. Watch out Mr Moore. You’re about to get your bell rung but good.

Now this is hilarious Nutrigrain ad. Weird but funny as hell. You’ll need quicktime to see it.
Here’s another about a 3 year old.
This one made me yawn. I can’t stop.
This one has a never ending bottle of beer. Eeek!
In this one Ted is a lunatic.
And finally this one about cruelty to pinatas.

Proof that Jackson is the king of links. He found SHAT-Lessons a page about how to speak like William Shatner on Dave Barry’s Blog. FYI: Shat is one of Carol’s favourite words.

It sounds to me like the boys from South Park are taking their shot at Quebeckers with The French Canada Song (803kb Mp3). Pretty funny stuff. Oh wait, does that make me a racist? I guess I shouldn’t be laughing.
I bet this will piss people off too. Not as much as Triumph the Insult Comic Dog’s video (here it is by the way at an updated link as of Feb 16 2004) which was fairly nasty and has really got people talking.
Thanks to Jackson for some more links.

I took the comments into consideration and made the change back to the dark blue based skin. I think it’s more representative of the attitude of the content. I know change is very difficult for most people. Perhaps, rather than such a huge departure I’ll funk it up some other way. Maybe a new header in place of the text title.
The new picture and the calendar are staying. :p
The only reason I ddin’t have a photo up before is because I was such a fat ass and was embarassed of how I looked.
Change – good! Stale – bad!

I took a look at the colour changes you see for Valentines Day. But I think I’ll keep it permanently. The black text on a white background is easier to read. The reds are nice and it has a more ‘Canadian’ look. The colours are actually based the school colours from my high school (I can’t believe I grauated 17 years ago). The photo looks even better, even though schlemiel is right it looks like a George Bush campaign poster. Hehe! I based it on a newspaper reporter’s byline picture. Finally, I added a calendar to make navigating through days a little easier.

Hi folks. It’s the one day of the year that lonely, single folks feel sad and desparate and couples fight because someone forgot or cheaped out on a gift. Fun! Fun! Thanks to Hallmark for creating another holiday (just kidding) to force us to feel guilty and spend money on overpriced cards.
Some people really hate Valentines Day. I guess it’s okay.
Carol and I keep it simple. Low carb Purdys chocolates for me from her and a bunch of flowers for her from FTD.
