Scotland 1, France 0

This surely says it all: Gary Caldwell scores for Scotland against France, Hampden Park, 2006-10-07 I was in McPhabb’s for this game, and the atmosphere was unbelievable. What a great day to be a Scotsman. Oh, view the French reaction too!

Talk Like Yoda Day?

Tomorrow is, as always, Talk Like a Pirate Day. It’s a day when everyone should talk like a pirate. There’s no real reason behind it, other than it’s fun. However, I’d like to nominate May 21st as Talk Like Yoda Day. Why May 21st? It’s the date in 1980 when The Empire Strikes Back — […]

And A Rumpus Room Too, Please

If I could have my house just the way I wanted it, it would look like Kevin Smith’s house.

Way Down the Food Chain
