Not Me!

Another benefit of having lots of Scottish blood!

Go Ovie.....?

Be kind of nice to see Alex Ovechkin - the Great 8 - finally win Lord Stanley's Cup.

But also kind of hard not to root that that band of discarded misfits from Las Vegas.

Actually - more correctly - that band of discarded misfits from Canada.

The Vegas Golden Knights have more Canucks than any other team in the NHL.

As Grapes would say "(A lot of) good Canadian boys!"

With their nationalities to prove it.

So as much a Ovie has been a long suffering superstar, kind leaning for the local boys......

Bad Day For "York"

Wow.

Last night a man was murdered in Yorkville, another was murdered at Yorkdale and police are looking for a suspect who earlier murdered a man at York University.

It is the first one that is really worrisome - because that is my neighbourhood!

And I buy all my furs at that store.

Holy jeez!

Can Just Anybody Win The Stanley Cup?

Wow.

The expansion Las Vegas Golden Knights could very well win the Stanley Cup in their first year of existence.

The Golden Knights are made up of a bunch cast offs from the other 30 NHL teams.

And speaking of those other 30 teams, I bet there are 30 General Managers who - like Lucy - might have some 'splain' to do to their owners.

Maybe I'll get a bunch of my buddies together and we'll enter a team in the NHL next year.

That would be so cool to win the Stanley Cup!!

Where Does It End?

Famed Canadian artist Emily Carr painted this in 1929 and titled it "Indian Church".

However, this week the Art Gallery of Ontario deemed that name offensive and has decided to change it to "The Church at Yuquot Village". 

Whoo boy.

One of the comments from the on-line article said "I find the word 'church' offensive.  The name should be changed to "Small White Building at Yuquot Village".

Not to be outdone, the next comment was "I find the word 'white' offensive.  The name should be changed to "Small Non-descript Building at Yuquot Village".

Hilarious!

I guess if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

And while I'm at it, on an unrelated topic.....

[From Mutts - Sundays, by Patrick McDonnell]

Post Script:  Didn't take long for the piling on to start......

So....Raptors being dinosaurs......

And making reference to an earlier dig, LEBRONTO....

Horrific. But The Real Dilemma Is....

....how can CNN blame this on Trump....?

Here is their website.  Not a mention.

Becaase......they can't blame it on........

Wow!

This is an 18 year old Toronto high school student whose graduation photo has gone viral.

He is a budding make-up artist and it took him four hours to put his "face" on.

Here he is at his day job, being a high school student.  And taking selfies.

If he can do this for himself, maybe there is help for the rest of us.

The rest of us mainly being me.

As I slide further into decrepitude, I gotta give this kid a call.

Maybe $70

But no way am I paying $88.88 for a Canadian!  

Even a cold one.
