O Canada!

Yes, it is a beer commercial, but it is all too Canadian! Presenting a classic Canadian commercial that features "Joe the Canadian" (a.k.a., Jeff Douglas).



Have a happy and safe Canada Day! Cheers!

St. Patrick's Day - "My Drunken Irish Dad"

Sorry, it has been a while since I made a post, but it really has been hectic around here. In the meantime, in honour of St. Patrick's Day I decided to post a little ditty that plays on Irish stereotypes - for which, despite my name, I can claim 1/8 of my ethnic heritage.

Without further ado (ignoring the 20+ seconds of a "talking" stuffed bear at the beginning), from Seth MacFarlane's Family Guy, "My Drunken Irish Dad":



Enjoy it while it lasts, YouTube is sure to pull it soon - the clip is really hard to find.

Leaving early...

Well, I finished earlier than I expected (or at least everything that I need to worry about), so I am off until the 2008.

Though I am not overly enthusiastic about the seasonal events, I leave you with the Pogues' and Kirsty MacColl's collaboration: "Fairytale of New York". Why am I posting this video if I am indifferent to the season? Simply because it is a damn good tune.



Season's greetings and happy New Year!
