WhiteSpeedReceiver Says:  ”Why would anyone in England want to look at Landycakes?”

I’m stupid, you’re smart. I was wrong, you were right. You’re the best, I’m the worst. You’re very good-looking, I’m not attractive.

That was just one of many times over the past few years I’ve shared my opinion of Landycakes.  Hell, I own this shirt.  It really took a turn after his, ahem, “performance” in Germany in 2006.  It took me a little while to come around, but he’s been simply astounding for the past year or two.  Once again, sorry Landycakes.

Canadians Go To The Bathroom Together

I know not many of you Americans know anything about the wonderful sport we Canadians call Hockey. It’s a glorious game played indoors on a sheet of ice. Twice in the recently ended, 2010 Winter Olympics, team Canada faced off against team USA. The Americans prevailed 5-3 in the round robin, while the Canadians prevailed 3-2 in an epic battle that went into overtime. In Canada, 10.6 million Canadians watched the game. When you consider there’s only 33 million of us in this country, that’s pretty impressive. Even in the USA, 27.6 million people watched the game. That was the highest watched hockey game in 30 years, and with a rating of 17.6, was the second highest rated sporting event of the year, excluding the NFL.

From Pat’s Papers, a US website run by a former Canadian that compiles news stories, comes this:

The water utility in Edmonton, EPCOR, published the most incredible graph of water consumption last week. By now you’ve probably heard that up to 80% of Canadians were watching last Sunday’s gold medal Olympic hockey game. So I guess it stands to reason that they’d all go pee between periods.

That piece accompanied the following picture, which is a real time graph of water usage before, during and after the Gold Medal game.

So bring on the jokes eh. Us Canadians are a bunch of dandy hosers that go to the bathroom together eh. Well, at least we can drink beer when we’re 18 eh, so take off hoser. sick video after the jump

RIP Ted Kennedy-A Memorial from an Unlikely Source

The Face of America's Royal family

I don’t completely know, but I might be the last guy that should be doing a memoriam of Senator Ted Kennedy. I’m Canadian and I’m the editor of a sports and comedy site. Yes it can be serious at times, but The Gally Blog is more about a fun sided look at sports. Then there’s the other mitigating factor. I’m a staunch political Right Winger, well that’s kind of a sports reference. I’m also a gigantic conservative, though that has more to do with fiscal policies than social policies. After all, my idol is Hunter S. Thompson and he was the strictest of Liberals. If I can forgive him for his failings, then I’m sure that I can forgive Kennedy for being on his side of the fence. Sure we’re all going to see the Republican Party of the USA, as well as other conservative/liberal ruling parties bow down and give him the utmost deference. Possibly more than he deserves, but not likely.

The next 4 days are likely going to be worse than when Michael Jackson was Murdered. I don’t mean that in an overly cynical reason, well maybe I do. The next few days we are all likely to be subjected to a non stop barrage of stories about America’s Royal Family. Sure, the Bush family could be considered the royal family but who are we kidding? The USA has not seemed to have gotten over not having a actual ruling family. Princess Di was revered, even though she was part of the British Royal Family. The Kennedy’s have been a national power since around the 1940′s. continue
