As I am dissatisfied with the response I got to the link, I am posting the picture and you can all deal.




There.

Saw the Two Towers special last night. I saw the stunt that will make... Just.. Wow. The angle on it is pretty bad, part of it is off screen, but, damn. I just. Wow.

New Line Cinema is teaming with DC Comics to create a feature based on the classic comic book Shazam! Ronin is also in talks.

Ummmmm... I think that's about it for now. In unrelated news, nexy year we're going to start adding color to our bills starting with the $20 and going up. The treasury hasn't announced /what/ colors yet, though.

it's not about liking or not liking. It's about having excuses to mock Canadians

Re:

.... Well, there are inherantly mockable things about them, but, you see, they've also gotten some things right.

Nope. You must find that one tiny thing wrong with their best systems and pretend like it completely invalidates the usefulness of it.

I mean I prefer the CFL's rules to the NFL, but I'll still snicker and say "55 Yard Line" or ask them why an 8 team league had two teams called the Roughriders. (One was the Rough Riders, the other was the Roughriders. Drove casinos crazy.) Nothing is immune. NOTHING!

...well except for curling. I like curling. I wish I could find a site that sells team jackets.

That's what the French are for.

But see, the French add mulitlingualism to the country. We should speak more than one language. It makes us weak and makes it so when we /do/ leave American soil, we're typically idiots. Oh the stupid Americans I've seen over seas.

Curling. You know, it's all about the four rock rule. It changed the sport.

[thezzyzx.livejournal.com]

I wish the CCA would switch to the 4 rock rule instead of the 3 rock rule that they use. I found the Olympics to be a little more interesting than the usual curling I get to watch.

Then again I wish that we could get TSN in the US or that they'd lose all of their curling contracts and the rights would go to the CBC. I only get to watch it like 4 or 5 times a year.

Re:

Duuuuuude. I would so love to get TSN. I could overdose on Hockey.

You know there is a curling club in North Seattle?

[thezzyzx.livejournal.com]

Yeah I've driven by the club. I'm kind of intimidated to try though. My coordination + ice == bad things.

I did get to use curling strategies at a wedding last fall though. They had a shuffleboard court at the resort and I was all about putting up guards and stuff.

And then we'll wonder why we can't get Canadian-style health care in this country.

It was David's fault all along!

Don't you listen to Von Palmer?

The Canadian Health Care system is horrible! If a random columnist has complaints about it on Weekday, it must be destroyed.

Dude. If I had a radio at work, I'd get even less done than I already do! Or don't.

It turns out that my schedule works well to hear that segment. I come in around 5:45. I leave at 2. Therefore I leave for lunch at 10. That's when it comes on.
