Would you like a long weekend (another Stat holiday) in February? Go here and vote YES! The government is considering a new holiday. The Globe and Mail is doing a poll to see if we as Canadians would like one. It would be the same as the American holiday ...

I had my inane movie trivia mettle tested today when I was asked by Keely to see if I couldn't use the 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon theory to connect him to Star Wars. It took me about 10 minutes to come up with something, but keep in mind that I DID NOT USE IMDB...

FNP IV wasn't all I had hoped it would be; there was probably only 40 people on that crawl. That's not a bad number, but it pales in comparison to the more than 80 that were involved in the Survivor crawl, partly due to the fact that the date flip-flopped mor...

I'm selling the portable mp3 player that I got at my company's Christmas party. I just found I never used it; there's probably only 4 hours of play time on it. I'm also selling the 64 meg add-on card that I bought for it, since I have no use for it without t...

Wendy's restaurant founder, Dave Thomas, is dead at age 69. I think people should eat Big Bacon Classics all this week in hommage of this fine individual. Wendy's is probably the best fast food joint out there, but I don't understand why they don't serve oni...

I don't remember seeing this movie in the theatres, but it stared me down countless times in the video store. Liv Tyler on the cover looking so good, how could I resist? And she's a redhead in this movie! I broke down and bought a used DVD from Video Que...

Here's the ultimate test of how accurate a guesser I am of the size (or lack thereof) of this website's local readership: Everyone who reads this in time is welcome to come to my place to bring in 2002 like it ain't nobody's business. If you don't know whe...

So Christmas is here....I want to hear all your stories about visiting with relatives and/or in-laws. All the bitching about not getting those argyle socks you wanted, and all the jubilation over the mass of swag that you now boast. Lay it on me. I can ta...

While implementing their "copy protection" scheme for music CDs, Universal Music will be simultaneously rendering most DVD players, car stereos, and computers unable to play their wares. It's quite silly, in a way: If I can't play music on my DVD player, in ...

I finally have something to be proud of. I'm the fifth most screwed up individual on the Internet, according to The Screensavers and their "Web's Weirdest Personal Crusades" article. I guess the Subway Petition isn't dead after all... Originally posted on...

Has anyone else noticed that MSN Messenger keeps kicking you off every couple of minutes, seemingly at random? I hope this is happening to at least one other person or I think I shall go stark raving mad. My own personal theory is that is has something to ...

I need help choosing an icon. Right now the icon for the "games" topic is a Dreamcast. This is simply because I now own one, and it's the reason I created the topic in the first place :) Help me choose (a more appropriate?) one. Click below. Here are ...
