so...i went to a caps game over the weekend. yes, this is a hockey reference. no, i will not talk about just hockey this entire post (party poopers), except to say that there were no less than four fights in the last five minutes of the game and that i somehow got free box seats. who knew that working at a nonprofit would yield such rewards? anyway, being at the game reminded me that i sometimes miss canada and maybe even canadians.
for example, ever hear of "men with brooms"? actual plot summary:
Paul Gross stars as the leader of a recently reunited curling team from a small Canadian town. This offbeat comedy follows the team as they work through their respective life issues and struggle to win the championship for the sake of their late coach.
who's paul gross? and how can this not mention leslie nielson, Hilarious Canadian?
tagline? "a comedy that will sweep you off your feet!" laughing out loud.
second, "battle of the blades." think dancing with the stars, except hockey players, figure skaters, and, of course, ice. Rectangular Shoe Aficionado dick button was a judge in the first season, and they've now enlisted jeremy roenick, Major Whiner and Non-Canadian.
theme song? "there will never be another tonight" by bryan adams. laughing out louder.
you know, the internet continues to enlighten. the above youtube ad features bob probert and tie domi, whose best known collaboration prior to the above gathering was this.
this blog post is so symmetrical. circle of life and the wheel of fortune.

i feel punked. you say you're not going to talk about hockey the whole time; i take you at your word, and what do i get? bryan adams and general canadianness. this is why the republicans want to secure the border, e. (mexican muslims come from canada, right?)
dude, bryan adams and general canadianness are not hockey, so i did accurately describe the nature of this post.
you wanna hear a true story? my friend (who lives in toronto) is going to a taping of "battle of the blades" tomorrow night. coveted tickets, i'm told.
