You know it's an atrociously bad call when the ref comes out to apologize to the penalized player before the next period begins.

Cannot get enough of this song right now. Feels pretty appropriate on CARNEY SPEECH day too. Jump into the new world Don't be afraid, yeah yeah Even now, it's not too late Jump into the new world Challenge yourself, yeah yeah With a happy song in your heart www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifsO...

Maybe the worst penalty call I've ever seen.

No time for football, too busy discovering Shonen Knife www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivT9...

Everyone applaud I just refrained from responding to "I still don't know what year it is" in a work group chat with with "Depends what country you're in."

7 got a puck that flipped over the glass & nearly hit us at the Sea Dogs game yesterday and I tell ya it's been ALL puck talk in our house since then. PUCK YEAH!!

HIP-HIP, TEXIER!

(not my photo) Had to shell out the big bucks for the double album! Almost got it on CD from my Uncle Al for xmas. He asked dad what CD I might like, dad suggested this and, for some reason, Hootie & The Blowfish. Uncle Al got me Hootie. Double CD was too rich for my blood, so got it on tape.

Practising my celebration for when it happens

A fitting listen on a lot of days, certainly including this one youtu.be/bndL7wwAj0U?...

My folks have returned back home to Newfoundland and now I'm back to being the only coffee drinker in the house. That means it's time for the coffee machine to be packed away and the superior morning coffee routine to make its triumphant return.

Obscurity Shop bags are not only good for merch, but they also do a great job of ripening very unripe avocados.

And just like that, we're closer to 2075 than 1975.

PSA last chance to go buy some bread for your New Year's toast.

Almost made it through 2025 without seeing someone drive a motorcycle down the sidewalk on a -11 morning. Oh well, maybe next year.

Caesar the day

Commercial for Jack Black Anaconda movie comes on. Dad: "Nope. Don't watch movies about spiders. Don't watch movies about snakes. Even if they're foolish."

Habs turn Phillip Danault night into fill-up da net night.

Half a work day to go in 2025. Surely the highest motivated 4 hours of the work year.

"I want a hippopotamus for Christmas" plays. 10: I don't actually want a hippopotamus for Christmas. Me: What about a house hippo? 10: What's that? Me:

The #1 movie when you were 10 is how your 2026 is going to go. At this point I wouldn't be surprised.

Ready to find their home under the tree, well-wrapped or not. (Spoiler Alert: Not)

The T in t-shirt stands for Tyrannosaurus

I wonder where the food that isn't in the World Foods aisle of the grocery store comes from.

Roads are greee-heee-heeeeasy. Greasier than they were on Monday morning, even. S'pose it's too much to ask for plows to get out before the school run, eh? 0 for 2 with this week's storms.

We be treed.

AC/DC&W

I left Spotify for Tidal toward the end of July, and wondered if Tidal had its own version of Wrapped. Turns out it does, and apparently this is what I'm into:

Personally I think all weather statements are special.

If you see this, post your getaway vehicle

Just stumbled into a new quintessentially Canadian experience: Out for a stroll with ear buds in & just as Timmies came into view "My Last Shift at Timmies" by BA Johnston started playing in my ears. 10/10. youtu.be/5tQ1K2WPKLI?...

Another fantastic new-to-me discovery care of @1001albumsgen.bsky.social. Now these are some Friday vibes!

Another Habs game. Another absolute no show by the goalies. Another injury. Dear November,

In today's neighbourhood speedbump foolishness: A car was properly slowing down to go over the bump. The SUV behind it, instead of slowing down & waiting its turn, decided to cross the solid line, without signaling of course, to pass the car mid-bump & fly over the oncoming lane's bump.

Well the month where the Habs were good was fun. Now back to their regularly scheduled Habbing.

Just participated in a Narrative Research phone survey, and folks I am now officially at the age where I'm excited about such things.

A Sisson mine implies a Sisson yours.

Today's album from @1001albumsgen.bsky.social is one of those rare treats: an absolutely phenomenal album that is brand new to me & completely outside of my musical wheelhouse. REAAALLLY enjoying this. The originals are even better than the Stones & Doors covers, too.

Just played a game of cribbage with the 10 year old & the 7 year old, in case anyone needs evidence of my patience.

Since apparently public services costing money to operate is a bad thing, I'm eagerly awaiting the government's plan to cut costs & overhaul the RCMP. Probably shouldn't hold my breath on that one. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

We got up early, washed our faces Walked the fields and put up crosses Passed through the damned mountains Went Hellwards And some of us returned And some of us did not youtu.be/G4w3zmpuhPI?...

Soon to be the guy that makes his neighbours say "who the hell is mowing their lawn on a 3 degree day in November?!?"

Finally got around to setting up the kiddos accounts for streaming music on our family plan. Now they are looking for & listening to the music they like. It begins!

If you see this, post an album cover with a motor vehicle on it.

Things are happening here.

Post you from a different era. A good 23 years ago at a Newfie Night social at UNB. Fine head of hair if I say so myself!!

Outshot 27-9 but leading 4-3. Sure, why not?

Ivan Demidov is absolutely ridiculous

Lane Hutson is absolutely ridiculous
