  • Not impressed with Brodeur's antics tonights. Now the controversy, do they play Luongo on Wed? #
  • @twister65 gotta give it a couple of weeks to get their legs. First few shows are always #fail in reply to twister65 #
  • @drunkenfools same here. Wife was up all night coughing. I got at most 30 mins of sleep (non continuous too). Thank god I can work frm home. in reply to drunkenfools #
  • Wife has bronchitis. That sucks bigtime, since she can't take anything for it due to being preggers. Just sleep, liquids and humidifier. #
  • w00t!! RT @RevDale: Canada's Ashleigh McIvor wins Gold in womens Ski Cross Final #Olympics #
  • Go #Canada Go! beat those germans, like we did in double ya double ya two! 😛 Yes, I went there!\ #
  • (the WW2 comment was a joke, of course!) #
  • What I'd like to know about the CAN-GER game is how the %$)(& did that puck go through the net? I thought that was physically impossible? #
  • @twister65 I believe it, I have just never seen it in my 35 years of watching hockey. in reply to twister65 #
  • I'm your turbo lovaaaaaah! Tell me there's no other. I'm your turbo lovaaaaah. Better run for cover! #
  • #GoCanadaGo ! You can do it! Iggy, give us another hat trick! #van2010 #olympics #
  • Wow, never would have thought Canada would be up 4-1 at the end of the 1st. I had predicted 4-2. Now revised to 7-3 for Canada. #
  • @sproudfoot I fully agree. #GoCanadaGo But don't rest, cuz Ovi and the Russians can come back hard. in reply to sproudfoot #
  • 4 medals for Canada, and the hockey team eliminated Russia. What a great day for Canada in the Olympics. #GoCanadaGo #van2010 #olympics #
  • @netfrost I stuck by 7-3… teehee 🙂 🙂 in reply to netfrost #
  • I now wonder, and hope I'm not getting ahead of myself; will we see a Canada/USA final for gold, or Canada/Sweden? #van2010 #olympics #
  • Future looks good 2. Women's hockey guaranteed a medal. Men & Women's curling is very strong. 3 men in 500 speed skating, Rochette 4 figure #
  • @twister65 no reason to also block the 2 spots in front of you. 🙂 #
  • @twister65 the side by side thing, I agree. it happens a lot in winter, and can be caused by other bad parking jobs. But 2 in the front too? #
  • @Sandman71 There was one front side, but they pulled away before I took the pic. They shook their head at that car too. 😛 in reply to Sandman71 #
  • err @twister65, I swear i'm not talkin to myself! 😛 #
  • Crap, posting to my blog reminds me, its the end of the month, gotta make another #Sens calendar for March #
  • @twister65 Looks to only be taking 2 spots though, not 4. That Ford also looked pretty new, so makes you wonder (1/2) in reply to twister65 #
  • @twister65 (2/2) if he/she purposely parked that way so not to get scratched. Now that's a huge pet peeve of mine when people do that. #
  • @twister65 I dunno. I get back in my car & re-park if I notice I parked badly. I also make sure I leave enough room so the driver can (1/2) #
  • @twister65 (2/2) have enough room to get into their car. I guess I expect others to be as courteous and thoughtful. #
  • (I also really hate it when I have to climb thru the passenger side because some moron parked too close and I can't even get in my own car). #
  • I've even had it once where I had to climb in from the back tailgate, because morons on each side boxed me in. Now that was interesting! #
  • @twister65 My female cat started being a shoulder cat lately too, but she drapes across both shoulders and neck. Wonder why that is. in reply to twister65 #
  • @twister65 last week she even jumped on me frm ground while I was standing straight up & laid down on my shoulders. #
  • @twister65 17? wow. Ours is 11. Still acts like a kitten. Our 11yr old male is gettin cataracts so will probably b blind in a couple of yrs #
  • @chrisavery hope you didn't book with Go Travel. They went bankrupt, all flights cancelled. in reply to chrisavery #
  • RT @JasonClermont: Ovechkins drug testin results:highlevels of maple syrop, backbacon & MolsonCanadian. No traces of bronze, silver or gold. #
  • RT @OttawaCitizen: Canadian study: Zen meditation helps lower sensitivity to pain by thickening a part… http://bit.ly/cWk5uG #
  • @greggrunberg I'm taking a wild guess.. Hawaii? 🙂 in reply to greggrunberg #
  • @NachosAtMidnite you mean like Women's hockey winning the gold today? 🙂 in reply to NachosAtMidnite #
  • RT @Jason: WTF?!?!! @seaworld is going to keep the killer whale that has killed.. umm…. THREE PEOPLE in their show! #boycottseaworld #
  • @T2daK Your thoughts on Eddie Davis retiring? in reply to T2daK #
  • Final Fantasy I and II now available on iTunes for the Touch and iPhone! http://tinyurl.com/yfkrjyq #
  • Canada's women curling advances to finals, guaranteed at least a silver. #gocanadago #van2010 #
  • #Canad scores!! 1-0 against USA (women's hockey) #
  • Sad RT @OttawaCitizen:Body of missing actor found: Vancouver Police believe a body discovered in Stanley Park Thu…http://bit.ly/91KMWs #
  • Rochette wins bronze. Congratz! Working through such adversity is inspiring. #GoCanadaGo #van2010 #olympics #
  • 2 golds, 1 silver, 1 bronze and Team Canada makes it to the hockey gold medal finals. It was a good day for Canada! #van2010 #olympics #
  • @twister65 I almost simultaneously crapped my pants and had a heartattack. That was a very exciting 2 minutes! in reply to twister65 #
  • 2 more gold medals for #Canada Woohoo! Brings the total gold to 12, 23 medals total. with 2 more guaranteed, beats the 24 we had in Turin. #

Bad Parking!

My wife and I spotted this car while we were looking for parking at the mall today. Its not unusual to see a car that’s badly parked and taking up 2 spots. But a car so very badly parked that they take FOUR spots? Yup, its been done. I’m not blurring out the license plate either, so if you know who it is, you can make fun of them (and maybe get the Ministry of Transportation to yank their driver’s license?).

  • Finally going to go see what all the excitement about Avatar is about. #
  • Avatar was OK. The 3d was pretty neat, the effects great as well story was OK (very predictable). #
  • I'm gonna miss the first 2 periods of tonight's men's olympic hockey game cuz I have to go to pre-natal classes. ergh! #
  • @chrisavery My wife keeps saying he looks like a child rapist, but that's cuz she's a Flames fan. in reply to chrisavery #
  • @twister65 I'm not convinced its people singing the Ole Ole song. I think its being played on the PA system. In any case, it has to stop! in reply to twister65 #
  • Room prepped for painting. Lunchtime, then its time to paint the baby's room. Did I mention I hate painting? #
  • First coat of paint is done. I %*&%()# despise painting inside of a closet. Had never done it before. Not sure if I'll put a 2nd coat there #
  • @chrisavery Sweden is expected to be in the top 3 #fb in reply to chrisavery #
  • Can you be considered an Olympic junkie if you watch 10-12 hours of Olympic coverage daily? #
  • Though with the painting today all I did was listen to it from 2 rooms away… #
  • @twister65 Aye, those wipeouts were insane. Takes not only skill, but courage. Heard women go about 120km/h and men 140km/h on that track in reply to twister65 #
  • The mystery of the blue lines on the ski slope erxplained: http://tinyurl.com/ylcaot4 #
  • Blh, breaktime is done. back to applying the 2nd coat of paint. What a way to spend a vacation…. #
  • did I mention I hate painting? 🙂 #
  • Nesbitt wins gold!! #
  • Canad gets another gold medal. Nesbitt wins the 1000 speed skating. #Olympics #Van2010 #
  • Anyone using Google Buzz that I'm not following? http://www.google.com/profiles/lgareau #
  • @stevetilley That song is severely getting on my nerves too. Its probably the only thing I won't be missing once the Olympics are done. in reply to stevetilley #
  • And on that note, go Canadian hockey team! #Olympics #van2010 #
  • Team Canada had me worried there for a second. Glad they got the Swiss monkey off their back. Bring on Team USA Saturday! #Olympics #van2010 #
  • @twister65 I read about that last night (and about Dylan Black). What was on this morning? in reply to twister65 #
  • @twister65 I wonder if that's just a placeholder for a week or 2 til a new team/show comes on. in reply to twister65 #
  • @twister65 I honestly stopped listening to Virgin since the switch from The Bear. In the car its usually a CD or Team1200 during the week in reply to twister65 #
  • @twister65 I only really listen to it when my alarm goes off (so for like 5 minutes at most), and on weekends. #
  • @twister65 or when Jim Rome is on Team1200. I can't stand that guy. So much dead air between sentences. Not sure how he's so popular. #
  • @twister65 Bear/Virgin has always had funny ppl in the morning. Bear's Breakfast, Rude Awakening, etc.. Probably new, funny ppl on the way in reply to twister65 #
  • @twister65 The move isn't surpringing though. Virgin's been hurting in/ratings. Morning show used 2 B #1 yrs ago, but hasn't been in a while #
  • @twister65 ROFL! That's hilarious and so random! Got pictures by any chance? Unless you're talking bottles of… 😛 in reply to twister65 #
  • @twister65 Jay & Gonzo will be taking over Virgin morning show on Monday w/ another unnamed cohost. Rumor is that it may be Kath Thompson. #
  • @twister65 I like Gonzo. Kath is good solo/produced segments, but I don't see her as show host with other ppl. #
  • @twister65 I agree. At first glance it doesnt sound to be as good (or better) of a morning show. I guess time will tell. in reply to twister65 #
  • @NachosAtMidnite Virgin's morning show. The show and 2 of the 3 hosts got canned yesterday in reply to NachosAtMidnite #
  • @NachosAtMidnite Cub and Kitty yeah. Only Jay remains. Sucks for Cub, he's been there for many many years (was on evenings before) in reply to NachosAtMidnite #
  • @twister65 That's just 2 funny! All we get is a daily visitor of the bunny kind. Crawls under the fence & hops arnd. Drives our cats nuts! in reply to twister65 #
  • @NachosAtMidnite I'm sure Cub won't be unemployed long. He's very talented at what he does. in reply to NachosAtMidnite #
  • @twister65 They updated mine as well. My house is no longer in bog. U can see my fence, but my shed isn't there, so it was b4 last summer in reply to twister65 #
  • Gld medal #4 for Canada (Men's skeleton) Not bad for having never won gold on home soil before Vancouver. #Olympics #van2010 Go Canada! #
  • @netfrost Arby's is finally open in Kanata? Hmm, might be worth the trek from Orleans. in reply to netfrost #

  • http://twitpic.com/11zhyt – My famous SuperBowl nachos that I only make once a year. #
  • I tried to watch 4 hours of commercials, but it kept on being interrupted by 30 seconds of Superbowl. #
  • The number of commercials was totally ridiculous. And that CTV Olympic song? It sucked the first time around! Even more so the 90th time! #
  • Great game though. Have to hand it to the Saints, they played a great game. #
  • Need caffeine STAT! Brain is crashing! #
  • RT @ScottBourne: Canon announces new Rebel T2i – 18 megapixels, 1080p HD video, 3.7 FPS, 3 inch LCD – $799 body only – due March. #Photog #
  • @gwenix The T1i just came out 7 months ago. I've barely broken mine in! Too soon! Needless to say, I want one 🙂 in reply to gwenix #
  • @twister65 @netfrost @chrisavery you guys are way too quiet lately! #
  • #Google #buzz social networking site launched http://tinyurl.com/yl6ntx9 #
  • @twister65 dotster uses registerapi … I've dealt with them for years for my domains in reply to twister65 #
  • Ah, now on vacation til the 22nd. 🙂 Starting it off by going to the Sens/Flames game tonight. Sitting just behind the penalty box. Woohoo! #
  • Was sitting first row right behind the Sens penalty box. Amazing seats, the view at that level is AWESOME! #
  • @twister65 I hadnt been activated yesterday, just got it today. I read it'll take a week to get everyone done #Buzz in reply to twister65 #
  • Habs stop the Caps' win streak at 14. Caps at least came back from being down 5-2 to tie it, and get 1 point for going to OT. #
  • @chrisavery Can I hide in one of your suitcases? in reply to chrisavery #
  • @chrisavery too true. in reply to chrisavery #
  • Ooooooooh! #Starcraft2 beta to begin this month! I hope I can get in! #
  • Rangers have put Brashear on waivers. Interesting….. #
  • @twister65 So Leaclaire is hurt again, or is he still the backup for tonight? #Sens in reply to twister65 #
  • @gamestopcanada Red Dead Redemption for the Xbox 360 in reply to gamestopcanada #
  • RT @gamestopcanada: 20th CND fan to re-tweet the name of the title and platform wins a sweet prize pack! Red Dead Redemption for 360 #
  • Great #Sens vs Caps game and a great #Survivor Heroes vs Villains episode. It was a great night of teevee! #
  • And with the Sabres losing, Ottawa takes over the lead in the Northeast division and #3 in the conference. Repeat of 2007? I hope so! #Sens #
  • @Rick_E_83 I don't use my Sandman71_work anymore, haven't for a long time. Follow this one instead 🙂 in reply to Rick_E_83 #
  • @Rick_E_83 the good thing about twitter is that you can block people. Tweetdeck even has "block and report spam" under a user's Other Action in reply to Rick_E_83 #
  • No more Picard? Yes!!! #Sens #
  • @Rick_E_83 I like Kuba. Less is the one we need to get rid of next IMO in reply to Rick_E_83 #
  • @Rick_E_83 Err *Lee, not Less. Less is the way he plays 😛 in reply to Rick_E_83 #
  • Looking at Cullen's injuries. He's really injury prone. Lots of concussions, leg and lower body injuries. Hmmmm #Sens #
  • I'm curious about 2 things. Where Cullen will fit in the lineup, and which other D will the #Sens bring up, since we're now 1 short. #
  • Unless Murray has another deal in the works to shed a forward and get another D #
  • @Rick_E_83 Lee is already being brought up to replace the injured Campoli (long term). Still short a D in reply to Rick_E_83 #
  • @Rick_E_83 or maybe we'll get something in the #Panthers clearing sale. Everything must go! Up to 75% off! http://tinyurl.com/yjx5e4e in reply to Rick_E_83 #
  • @Rick_E_83 And it'd probably only be for a couple of games. Karlsson is expected to be back after the Olympics in reply to Rick_E_83 #
  • ROFL! Rumours that the #Sens are top 3 teams sniffing around Comrie… AGAIN. #
  • Too funny. Deal was originally Cullen for 2nd round pick. Murray tossed in PIcard as an afterthought. Here, take our garbage. LOL #Sens #
  • @kenGe Adding Cullen to the mix is a good thing, regardless of injuries. I'm just wondering where he's going to fit, other than our PP in reply to kenGe #
  • Hypothetical: Would you trade away Leclaire and use Elliot & Brodeur as your goailes? #
  • @Rick_E_83 You were right. Derek SMith has been called up from BIngo. in reply to Rick_E_83 #
  • Now to hope that Volchie and his agent accept teh contract that was offered to them this morning. We absolutely need to keep him. #
  • Woohoo! RT @sskroughriders: Fantuz set to be in Green & White http://tinyurl.com/yfkr7jx #
  • @Rick_E_83 Sucks for Cheechoo, guy has heart, just doesn't have the touch and speed he used to have. in reply to Rick_E_83 #
  • @Rick_E_83 Aye, gives us the room to get a rental, and re-sign some players over the summer. We got lots of UFAs and RFAs in reply to Rick_E_83 #
  • And it starts. Olympic coverage started at 1pm. Gonna be blued to the tv for the next couple of weeks. #
  • @netfrost err glued. lol! in reply to netfrost #
  • @chrisavery too bad it won't work with my 9200 PVR 🙁 in reply to chrisavery #
  • @twister65 watched the video. Both my wife and I are speechless. I'd guess they're going to pad those posts or do something before the event in reply to twister65 #
  • @chrisavery Renting. IIRC, contract isn't up til this coming October. in reply to chrisavery #
  • @chrisavery Yeah, I'll try that. Gotta watch stuff I've got taped first though. 😛 in reply to chrisavery #
  • @twister65 Make the sides higher, or put something in front of those metal beams. Or maybe the CDN gvt will enforce airbags 😛 in reply to twister65 #
  • Great opening ceremonies to the #Olympics Much better than I expected (though it'll be real hard to better China's ceremonies). #
  • Happy that Gretzky got to light the torch. If one Canadian athlete is known the world over, he's the one. #
  • @chrisavery Fully agreed. So one joint err poll didn't go up. Who cares, it was still a pretty awesome opening ceremonies. in reply to chrisavery #
  • Shit breaks, nothing is 100% perfect. They recovered nicely IMO. Get over it and enjoy the games. and be proud to be Canadian. #Olympics #
  • After a day of watching the #Olympics its time to watch the #Sens beat the #Redwings Go Sens Go! #
  • Canada wins its first medal of the Vancouver #Olympics Heil wins silver, just barely beaten out of gold by US' Kearney @ Women's moguls. #
