From The Branches

This made me laugh, via cdn3.sbnation.com So I present to you a rare jewel here at PPP: the afternoon edition of the FTB!  I'd like to say I had a great excuse for not doing this last night, but I was over at a friend'

I don't even have anything to say. I am actually re-watching the Lost series finale to try to figure out what the hell happened (much like Team Russia at the World Championships and the Sharks). While I finish a bottle of wine. Yeah. Here's your

It's the saturday night of a long weekend, I have fun to get to.  Also, I will be outside tomorrow because it's a long weekend and sunny.  Here's your links.\ * Will Nonis Replace Burke? Five Minutes for Fighting thinks Nonis could be Burke'

So yesterday morning Keiko decided to eat some more drywall.  We still haven't fixed the first hole she made, so I finally made the trip to Home Depot to buy some putty and all the other required tools to fix it.  As I walked down one aisle, I

It's Friday and I'm not going into to work today. Instead, I'm headed North to the land of poutine, back bacon, government run liquor stores, and endless wonder. That's right kiddies, Uncle SkinnyFish is headed to Canada! I'll be crossing

Since I live in Vancouver and the Olympics, like it or not, have been a pretty big factor in my life (I was hired right after graduating from University to work on the Urban Planning and Public Space Plan for the Olympic Village) I have become more interested in the

If you've ever ventured into the CC, chances are you've come across a discussion about video games. I love video games.  My all time favorite, and the game that was my first true virtual love, is Galaga.  I shoot space beetles and bees like you ain&

I have no ideas what to write for today's FTB.  So instead, I give you a new picture of Keiko.  She ripped the stuffing out of her elephant this weekend, so this photo is in honour of that faithful toy. * The Case For and Against Bob Cole Calling

Summer has finally arrived in Vancouver.  I wore shorts for the first time this weekend, and when I was wearing long pants, I had a tank top on.  It was glorious.  So I started thinking about a few things I'm looking forward to, Leafs-wise, this summer.  Here&

Nothing happened in hockey yesterday. There were four links total I could find for today's FTB. So I thought I'd point out some history to everyone who is all aflutter about the Flyers' comeback. It was incredible and impressive and I am thankful that I

It's no secret that we do not like the Flyers around here. Aside from just ripping on their fans, hating their players, and generally despising everything about the city Toronto also has some painful playoff history with the Philadelphia Flyers. The last playoff memory that we have is

So I was working on something to write here and it snowballed into a full fledged post that I'll put up in a little bit. Enjoy the links in the mean time. BoC Quest for the Cup: Chapter 3 More comic genius from the Battle of California Habs

Last night, the greatest thing to hit twitter since #throwthesnake happened. It was a result of the horrible game 7 that the Penguins lost to the Habs (seriously, Fleury? Is your family all Habs fans that threatened you or something?). But @montrealcopcar has got to be one of the funniest

The Blackhawks have done their job and eliminated a Canadian team from the playoffs; now the job of doing the same falls to the Penguins. Enough of the "root Canadian" crap; if a Canadian team isn't wearing a Maple Leaf on the front (red or blue)

OK so on my way home yesterday I had about five great ideas for the FTB.  Well, not really, just two.  One was to do a whole post about how our own PPP resembles Dave Nonis and how this had something to do with Nonis turning down the Tampa Bay

Because PPP can't blog anywhere but the Fanshots the task of today's FTB has fallen to me. If you're wondering why there wasn't an FTB yesterday it's because none of you wrote anything either of our FTB writers could find.

If you don't have a Twitter account, then you're a parasitic troglodyte and you really need one. It also means that you missed out on the NHLSexActs hashtag from yesterday. It started with Archi asking what you call it when a smoking hot girl has two

Friends, I here to give you a friendly reminder. This Sunday is Mother's Day and you've forgotten all about it. You haven't gotten your mom anything. No bouquet of flowers, no box of chocolates, no fancy dinner plans, nothing. You've really slacked

My parents flew in from Toronto last night.  I am tired from rushing home, walking the dog, picking them up, re-cleaning the house after they tracked in a ton of pine needles, making them dinner, setting up their bed, explaining to them how to operate the TV, where the

Something monumental happened in my apartment two days ago. No, it wasn't the fact that I did laundry for the first time in over three weeks (that was Sunday). No, we finally turned on the AC for the first time all year. That makes May 3rd a very

Most of you guys know that I love Battlestar Galactica.  It was a great series, and I still watch re-runs when I find them on TV.  But when it ended, it left a hole in my TV viewing.  I've tried to fill that hole with V and

So uh, nobody wanted an FTB yesterday, right?  Well, fortunately for me, there were very few links to put up anyways had I remembered to do it, so I included anything that I missed in today's FTB.  Still, sorry about that, I actually had a fun, relaxing weekend

Well I figured last night, after the Penguins showed the NHL how to beat Jaroslav Halak, that I'd make a special dinner. I had some great chorizo sausage I'd bought at a portugese bakery, and I ran down to the local fish market and got some

No words (because I forgot it was my turn and went to bed early); just links. Basketball sucks; Hockey rules Nothing new here. Quest for the Cup Part 2: The Meddling Octopus BoC with the next installment Brian Burke = Genius Well duh. The Leafs make another list showcasing how bad

I honestly cannot remember the playoffs being this sucky in a long time. I am so frustrated by the teams this year, I have noone left to cheer for. I am still in shock that the Capitals blew it against the Habs last night - WTF Mike Green? Boudreau - why was
