Lotta people salty about the Atlantic Ocean.

I suppose, but the risk is low. Especially if your only other choice is to die in a minute without CPR.

Now I know what a replicator dinner feels like.

This guy ducks

I’d like them to explain why it was okay for the Flames to all wear Mike Vernon jerseys during warm-ups a couple of weeks ago.

Add another 8 inches worth of services fees in there too.

Superliminal advertising is way more effective.

And the type of deep analysis a knowledgeable fan might want is actually really hard to not only come up with live, but while watching something live without the benefit of watching a replay or a better camera angle.

At best, this kind of analysis is given a few minutes in between periods/quarters/halves/innings between commercial breaks and any other stories the network wants to cover.

Even if the announcer gets a generous 25 minutes between when the play happened and when they get a 2 minute spot to talk about it, that’s a pretty tight deadline to get a video package together and come up with some talking points. There aren’t a lot of people who have both the knowledge of the sport and the skill to put it together in a way that everyone will understand.

As an aside, there’s an installation at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto that lets you try your hand at recapping a few games. It’s tough even with a script. The announcers are doing it live.

The valets for the restaurant next to me just use all the metered street parking in front of our building. Imagine paying someone $20 to put $5 into a parking meter 100 feet away.

As long as you befriend a homeless person beforehand, you’re covered.

It’ll vary depending on the city, but generally not. Finding something affordable near downtown Toronto or Vancouver will be next to impossible, while in smaller cities like Edmonton, Calgary, or Ottawa, it will just be really, really hard.

This was in the early summer, but I’m pretty sure it’s a year-round event.

One of the coolest things I saw in Osaka was a monthly flea market held on the grounds of Shitennoji Temple. It’s a pretty big temple so there were a lot of vendors. I spent the better part of the morning eating amazing food and browsing through old games and records, vintage clothes, and all sorts of other old stuff. I ended up getting some old woodworking tools, a couple of wooden serving platters, and a copy of Dragon Quest V.
