The hockey game is going ahead on Friday night at our place - you’re invited to join us. The game starts at 5:00, but that’s when I get home from work, so I suspect we’ll have it recording on the PVR, and start watching it at 5:30 or so (skip some of the more annoying “Then I Ate the Bowl” commercials :)

Let me know if you’re planning on coming so that Erin and I can have an idea of how many people to expect (for party favours? I doubt it.)

I visit the Canada.com site for Saskatoon daily to get local news, and today I saw an ad that I found totally hilarious. Between two Canadian Tire logos, there’s a line of text that says (and I quote) “Order flowers for Valentine’s Day at canadiantire.ca.*” Why? Why? Why? Only in Canada would you see a website hocking flowers and a MIG welder on the same page.

Note to Erin - you’re not getting canadiantire.ca flowers for valentines day.

Note to all the arrogant bastards out there: You will be charged by the phone company. Gee, I wonder if someone will end up losing their job over that (”Honestly sir, I didn’t mean to type in ‘arrogant bastard,’ I meant to type ‘Error: plant baster’”)

You all know that I have a Jackie Chan DVD collection that’s constantly growing. Well, Davey Jones sent me a link to a Jackie Chan video that I had to share. It’s from the movie “City Hunter” which I do not have as of yet, and it’s completely hilarious. If you’ve ever played any of the Street Fighter games, you’ll appreciate the scene, even if you’re not a big Jackie Chan fan (in which case, you’re not welcome here. Get out. Just kidding.) The video can be found here. It’s a WMV (so you’ll need Windows Media Player to view it) and it’s about 9 Megs, so if you’re on dialup, you’ve been warned.

Simpson’s quote of the day:
Homer: “Uh, I’d like some flowers.”
Florist: “What kind of flowers?”
Homer: “Uh, you know, pretty ones, not dead.”
