Yes, I am a man possessed by many demons. Polite demons that would open the door for a lady carrying too many parcels, but demons nonetheless!

Dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria.

    Pepperpot #1: I can’t tell the difference between Whizzo butter and this dead crab.
    Interviewer: Yes, we find that 9 out of 10 British housewives can’t tell the difference between Whizzo Butter and a dead crab.
    Various Pepperpots: It’s true… We can’t… No.
    Pepperpot #2: Here. Here! You’re on television, aren’t you?
    Interviewer: [smugly] Yes, yes…
    Pepperpot #2: He does the thing with one of those silly women who can’t tell Whizzo Butter from a dead crab.
    Various Pepperpots: Yeah, yeah.
    Pepperpot #3: You try that around here, young man, and we’ll slit your face.

Whenever I hear “30 Helens” I immediately think of the housewives in Monty Python for some reason.

Wow

Drummondville won the QMJHL last night. If DiDo was healthy we’d get to see DiDo vs. Dale Mitchell at the Mem Cup.

The Word of Wendel

Interesting interview:

“I love this time of year. Every game means something. The energy, the excitement, the adrenaline, it’s something you can never duplicate in anything you do. The highs and lows you get in one 60-minute game and then the next day, you do it all over again. There’s nothing like it.”
