Posted by Jesus H. Chris on January 10th, 2008 in Band News
When me and Jordy were growing up in Portage la Prairie, "hanging a rat" meant you showed someone (who did not want to see it) your wiener. It happened a lot in post-game change-rooms in hockey arenas where a young naked fellow might decide to climb up on the bench ... (more) The Rebel Spell

To me the words "good" and "punk band" don't really belong in the same sentence much anymore. But once in a while, something crawls out of the old woodwork and punches your head with goodness. Check out this Vancouver band, The Rebel Spell to see who's carrying the torch for ... (more) Our Pal Lance (photo update!)

In what I allege to be a complete and utter mockery of the democratic process, The Beaver magazine has proclaimed former Canadian Prime Minister (and current dead guy) Pierre Elliot Trudeau the Worst Canadian In History. They contend that Trudeau narrowly edged me out by a few hundred votes. ... (more) SLEEP OF REASON

From: Deborah Simmons I bring terrible news that Dave Brophy, member of the Winnipeg Indigenous Peoples Solidarity Movement, member of the New Socialist Group, and dear friend, has suddenly died.

So i just held my nose and dialed up the CNN website and came across the bland disclosure of the assets of upcoming US presidential hopefuls: Republican Rudy Guiliani: $45 million in assets ($16.1 million in just the past 6 months) Democrat John Edwards: $29.5 million in assets One has to wonder what ...

Hi shits, if you go to the resources page and scroll down to the non-fiction book list, you will see that Jordy-Boy Floyd has taken time out from washing, fluffing and blow drying his veritable mane of gray hair to update that shizz for your perusal. THE NEW PHONEBOOK IS HERE! THE NEW PHONEBOOK IS HERE!

No, just kidding. No new phonebook today. But rather, a DVD!

It is April 8th, 2007, a day that we find the average Canadian celebrating the death-defying (re: zombie) exploits of a man who went on record rejecting not only emperor worship and idolatry but also participation in the military. Curiously, on this very day we find the same Canadians engaging ... (more) IN CASE YOU ALREADY FORGOT

Don't think for a second that just because fellow axe-holder Beave thought The Departed was a good movie that i won't LITERALLY take a two-handed sword to others who share his perverted worldview. If you have any doubt about this, consider carefully the fact that Beaver was 6'2" when he first ... (more) A FRIENDLY REMINDER

I just wanted to remind you people that anyone who liked the movie "The Departed" should be LITERALLY shot in the face with an unbelievably large and REAL shotgun. Because it's IMPORTANT. A MOMENTOUS DAY

Beave turns 28 and Ryan Smyth ends up in Long Island. Coincidence? I think not. I CANNOT GET THIS TIME BACK

A PROUD DAY IN LEAF NATION.
Posted by Jesus H. Chris on November 17th, 2007 in Commentary
When it comes to professional hockey and the world built around it, obedience to orthodoxy tends to rule the day. Hilarious caricatures of swaggering chauvinism like Brian Burke and Don Cherry are held up as hockey's most cherished personalities. So anyone else see Toronto Maple Leafs enforcer Wade Belak on TSN ... (more)
