Rimmin' out!

RRROLL UP THE RIM TO.....PLEASE PLAY AGAIN!

This is the slogan Tim Horton's should be running because it is, mathmatically speaking(and math isn't a strength of mine), the likeliest outcome when you buy your coffee and inevitably roll up the rim to....LOSE! I must admit, when the 'roll up the rim to win' event first arrived on the scene I was always full of hope and coincidently caffeine in my endevours to find a prize awaitng me under those teasing rims. Alas, my endevours have turned up nothing but three fateful words. "Please." "Play." "Again." They invoke a special sense of ire in me each time I read them. At one time I would see one word first like "Please" and for a second i'd hoped it might be the beginning of some new string of words, for example, "Please Pick Up Your New Plasma TV", or "Please Collect Your Cash Prize." Sadly, that was all just wishful thinking. Now, in protest, I will be buying my coffee and in shear spite will throw away the cup when i'm done, without rolling up another rim until this contest has once again gone into remission! Ha! I could always protest by not purchasing coffee from Tim Horton's but....No!

Happy St.Paddy's Day!

3 cheers for potatoes, bare-knuckle boxing, Guiness, U2 and of course....pink hearts, yellow moons, orange stars, green clovers, blue diamonds & purple horseshoes!(their magically delicious).

Go green or go home!

Spare change sir? ma'am?

I've seen a few great signs displayed by pan handlers in the past, but this picture displays the first sign that has made me laugh out loud. It reads "Ninja's killed my family - Need money for kung fu lessons." Classic!

Ales in Wonderland!

Ales Hemsky was a game breaker tonight, capping an exciting five goal third period between the Sharks and Oilers with an amazing high speed dangle leaving San Jose's defense with their heads spinning and goalie Toskala shaking his as he retrieved the puck from the back of his net. I had the good fortune to be at the game with a perfect view of the winning goal from section 232, and the place erupted! It was most definately one of the highlight goals of the year. Kudos to Ty Conklin, who has returned from goaltenders 'no man's land' to help keep the Oil in this game late with some key saves. All in all it was a good night. I got a chance to see one of my favorite players, Joe Thornton, live for the first time, Hemsky scored the winner, and team Whiplash faired pretty well in my hockey pool thanks to both of them!
