Canucks Done (for now)

I have been reserving comment on the Canucks being ousted by the Minnesota Wild until I received something like the picture above. which, of course, Paul a bitter fan of the long golfing Leafs sent.

Yes, Cloutier did, in my opinion, lose that final game and methinks his time is done. That said, the Canucks did have a great season and will be back (hopefully with a more competent goaltender) in September. That final series was one for the books in many ways and I’m sure our boys will learn from it. Good luck next year!

The Mike and Mom Cereal Dilemma

When I was a kid I used to go grocery shopping with my mom. We often had conflict over what cereal to buy. She wanted me to have the boring stuff like Corn Flakes, Rice Krispies and Cheerios. She refused to buy me “junk cereal” which was basically just crunchy chemicals bathed in sugar. I understand now, but I was sure ticked off then. Mom was just being a good parent. And hey, it just so happens that today is Mothers Day! Happy MOM’s DAY to all the moms out there

Here are some crazy cereal boxes

Rob Zombie back in the House

I love Lions Gate Films. They have taken on some of projects that no one else will even touch. According to this article Rob Zombie has been signed on to do a Sequel to his recent flick House of 1000 Corspes which is destined to become a cult classic with the likes of Evil Dead and Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Another horror movie for me to be excited about!

Thanks to Lance for the link.

The Monkey Test

by Mike Browne on May 9, 2003

in old stuff

I’m at home, not feeling well today. In fact I just got out of bed. This article: Yahoo! News – Typing Monkeys Don’t Write Shakespeare did cheer me up. I’m not surprised these monkeys didn’t write Shakespeare. Also not surprising is the monkeys’ fascination with defecating and urinating on the typewriter’s keyboard. I know that’s something that my baser self has considered from time to time. Don’t worry I won’t tell you if I do.
