- It’s been eleven years since the Seinfeld finale? Good lord. #
- silversun pickups = smashing pumpkins + jeremy enigk – interesting drumming, with just a touch of sissypantsedness thrown in. #
- @mblogler Me either. The wife reminded me last night. I’m hoping to forget again until tomorrow evening and then be REALLY excited. in reply to mblogler #
- There’s adaptation. And then there’s whaaaaaa? http://is.gd/zREf #
- @mblogler That review contains the words “artery-clogging puissance”, which I have decided shall be the name of my autobiography. in reply to mblogler #
- Just received an invitation to a reunion of my high school graduating class. They misspelled “graduating”, so yeah, that’s the right school. #
- @mmpartee Gives new meaning to the rhythm method! Nyuk! Neil Peart FTW! in reply to mmpartee #
- @Timinator I run to Yeah (stupid version) in reply to Timinator #

- @modernmod Actually, not long after I talked them up to you and @bankwatch I pretty much stopped using paper, including my Moleskines. in reply to modernmod #
- “what we try to do in terms of…corporate social responsibility is do it in a good manner.” Um, how about SHUTTING DOWN?! http://is.gd/zuc5 #
- RT @Timinator RT @leasimpson: Dear restaurants. I bloody hate it when your menu is only available to download. Please put them on web pages. #
- Unpopular music opinion of the day: Odditorium Or The Warlords of Mars by The Dandy Warhols was/is very underrated. http://is.gd/zvx0 #
- Cdn hockey fans: agree or disagree? http://is.gd/zwjS For my part, I agree with Boone. TSN’s coverage blows CBC’s out of the water. #
- @rshevlin That’s a pretty hilarious headline. I can’t wait for “Will these new shoelaces make Dustin Pedroia a better ball player?” #
- @lisarandolph If “drizzle” is one of your favorite words, you’re in the right city. in reply to lisarandolph #
- Bazillion cops at Yonge + Queen, and lots of helicopters about. Guess the Tamil protest is on the move. #
- @Timinator After we’re there booooo. in reply to Timinator #
- “Jesse Ventura offers to waterboard Dick Cheney to prove it’s torture.” I would pay a great deal to see that. http://is.gd/zCsO Also… #
- …also I would pay a great deal to see someone shave off Jesse Ventura’s skullet. #
- @BlogTO’s list of the 24 best patios in the city has just 6 east of Spadina. I like how hipsters see downtown as a suburb. http://is.gd/zCAH #
- @rshevlin Shooting someone in the head isn’t torture so much as it’s murder. Why? What trap was that loaded question meant to lead me into? in reply to rshevlin #
- Wow. This game 7 between the Pens and Caps was over early. Hope tomorrow night’s games are tighter. Let’s see how the Jays are…aw, crap. #
- @rshevlin First: proposing we morally equate shooting armed hostage-taking pirates with torturing unarmed prisoners beggars belief. in reply to rshevlin #
- @rshevlin Second: Jesse Ventura isn’t my buddy. He’s a loon. I’m just saying it would be awesome to see The Body waterboard The Cyborg. #
- @rshevlin Just re-read comment. Missed “Ordered”, was laughing too hard. So yes, Obama ordered it. #
- @rshevlin As are the disingenuousness of yours. Nobody wants to really torture Cheney, but maybe if he got a simulation… in reply to rshevlin #
- @rshevlin …like Hitchens got, he’d stop talking shit about how it’s not really torture. #
- @rshevlin “so its not ok to torture a terrorist …but its ok to torture the former vp” either SERIOUSLY assumes that I would advocate… in reply to rshevlin #
- @rshevlin …for torture when it was obviously a joking tweet, or you’re making a false comparison. #
- Can hardly put down this book about Columbine. Illuminating. #

- Poor @modernmod ‘s had his Twitter account hacked. Or he’s gone mad. #
- When did “talk about” become “speak to”? As in, “Yeah , I can speak to that topic.” Drives me nuts. #
- @gajarga I would have argued that making “action” into a verb in place of “do” was the height of verbal douchebaggery. in reply to gajarga #
- Going to see Christopher Hitchens lecture at the ROM in June. http://is.gd/zbvH #
- Who cuts their fingernails at their desk?!? #
- @twitter The ID @modernmod has been hacked and the hacker is posting really offensive stuff. How can the owner reclaim access? #
- People often mistake my introversion for misanthropy. But today? Dan = full-on misanthrope. Look upon me, ye mighty, and get grumbled at. #
- @Timinator Sahara Hotnights: nice. in reply to Timinator #
- @modernmod Welcome back. I look forward to you tweeting only mildly offensive things once again. #

- I miss brijit.com. Anyone know of anything similar? #
- As an impartial observer I want Washington to win tonight only because I want it to go the full seven games. What a series. #

- @mgarrity I wish I could visit Patterson’s Creek on a day like today. If you’re walking back downtown from Dow’s take a second to enjoy it! in reply to mgarrity #
- Ever since someone (*cough* @cjsteven *cough) mentioned McDonald’s I’m craving a 1/4 pounder. Which is weird, b/c I *never* want that shit. #
- @Tinfoiling Sigh. Here in Toronto the homeowners are throwing a spaz about coyotes, as if they’re a pack of Cujos out to eat kids. Sad. in reply to Tinfoiling #
- Remind me never, ever to visit Australia. http://is.gd/xbZS #giantspiders #nothankyou #
- It’s gotten to the point now where, when work settles down to a normal level, I feel like I’m missing something or doing something wrong. #
- On phone w/ Rogers. First leg went surprisingly well. Turns out if you swear at the speech reco system you’re kicked to the good agents. #
- @spotlightcity If you visit the Maritimes you can buy a McLobster sandwich. I hear they’re delicious. Ish. http://is.gd/xRj8 in reply to spotlightcity #

- Not that I approve of the seal hunt, but I also find hypocrisy unpleasant and worth mocking. http://is.gd/idB2 #
- @modernmod Portuguese bulls just aren’t killed in the ring. It happens right after, albeit by a butcher they would likely have faced anyway. #
- @modernmod If they’re lucky. 🙂 in reply to modernmod #
- @hyfen I just walk in, bark the combo number and my drink order, throw money, quickly take my seat and hope they heard me right. #
- @Timinator Dad liked Mungo Jerry??!?!!?11/!? in reply to Timinator #

- I don’t normally pay much attention to football highlights, but that Christiano Ronaldo free kick…wow. #
- @foreverginger The washroom at the Bloor Theatre in Toronto bears the words “Kevin Smith shat here.” Scrawled by the man himself perhaps? in reply to foreverginger #
- @lisarandolph http://is.gd/xdXo Hopefully it’s not as complicated a ticket process as the Toronto film festival. in reply to lisarandolph #
