I'm proud to do my part - here are a couple different clips from Pace's first time on skates (well, bob skates anyhow) at public skating tonight. Extra funny - the person who was supposed to work the wicket at the rink didn't show up (probably watching the Grey Cup) so we got in for free!

Pace's First Time Skating

I read an article this weekend which stated that YouTube gets 10 hours of new video uploaded to it...per minute!

When you combine them, you get...pro wrestling?
(I think it's extra funny that he says "no, no, no" right before he jumps each time, as if he knows he shouldn't be doing it!) Tuesday, February 5
Super Tuesday

Reddit has lots of good articles about today's "Super Tuesday" primaries in the United States. Do a search for your favourite candidate to narrow it down. This one's interesting - apparently John McCain, the Republican frontrunner, was born in the Panama Canal Zone, so is not actually eligible to be President (at least he wouldn't be if anyone in the US still cared for their Constitution!) And speaking of Super, how about that SuperBowl finale? A pretty boring game right until the end and then...wow. I usually cheer for the underdogs but I was picking the Patriots in the hopes of seeing a history-making undefeated season. It wasn't to be though (and I am all right with that.) The stupid NFL is taking down every clip from the game as soon as they're uploaded to YouTube. Otherwise I'd link to a YouTube video of the game's highlights. Instead, you get a highlight video straight from NFL.com, complete with a front-end 30-second Planters commercial - which I'm currently ignoring as I type this in another window instead. Joy!)

Green Is The Colour/Football Is The Game (and some YouTube Highlights While You're Waiting For The Game)

In 1989, the Riders won only their second Grey Cup ever
in the 95 year history of the CFL (admittedly, pretty embarrassing in an 8-10 team league.) They won with a team led by QB Kent Austin in a game played in Toronto's
Skydome. This year, the Riders, with Austin as coach, go into the Grey
Cup, once again at Skydome Roger's Centre.
There are some other interesting storylines going into today's game... - it's the first time Saskatchewan and Winnipeg have ever met in the Grey Cup but there's a huge rivalry between the teams already. - Winnipeg's QB broke his arm near the end of the semi-final so their untested (at least in CFL play - he did okay for himself in US College football) QB gets the start. On the other hand, Kerry Joseph for the Riders just won the CFL Player of the Year Award. - It's not a front page story but underpinning the CFL's premier event being held in Hogtown is Toronto's desire to woo an NFL team to their city. (My personal theory on that is "screw Toronto" - move the Argos to London or Kitchener-Waterloo, put a team in Halifax for good measure and the CFL will thrive while Toronto's NFL team will ebb & flow like their NBA and Major League baseball teams have.) A report from the frontlines, courtesy of the Toronto Star... "Despite the unfamiliar Grey Cup environs – under a roof – the Riders faithful adapted, shedding 12 layers of clothing, tilting back their cowboy hats and greeting every new friend (i.e., everyone) with a whoop of excitement. The only thing that momentarily dampened their enthusiasm was the message hung over the table selling drink chits: "Limit of 4 beverage tickets per transaction." Again, people, is this or is this not Canada?" Here are some YouTube clips while you're waiting for the big game... Arguably the most memorable play of the Rider's season Heart of a Nation - Riders TV Commercial 2007 Riders Tribute "Green Is The Colour" - Saskatchewan's Unofficial Anthem |
