Smoke Break #842: SNL’s Seth Myers Kills It At The White House Correspondents’ Dinner
May 1, 2011
Saturday Night Live’s lead writer and Weekend Update anchor Seth Myers killed at the White House Correspondents’ dinner last night, roasting many in the room, even the President, who took it with a guffaw. Donald Trump on the other hand, sat stone-faced, front and center, as he was witheringly shat upon from the podium without restraint. Go comedy!

CANUCKERY: On The Best Hockey Game Ever And Your Predictions For Round 2
April 27, 2011
I’ve seen thousands of hockey games in my life, and last night’s Game 7 against our seemingly perennial nemesis Chicago was hands-down the best I’ve ever had the pleasure to suffer (relive the final heady moments above). Jim Hughson may have exclaimed in his HNIC broadcast that “it’s a wonderful day for an exorcism”, but as a friend noted in the wake of Burrows’ goal, it felt more like “a cross between a breached childbirth and an orgasm”.
It’s just been confirmed that Game 1 of Round 2 against the Nashville Predators will go down tomorrow night, 6pm at Rogers Arena. This is Nashville’s first dance in the second round, and though I trust we’ll lambada their brains out by Game 6 (allowing my sadly sparse, post-pubescent beard to live on), it’s been an excitingly even, low-scoring year between the two teams. We split the season series against them 2-2, so I don’t expect a waltz, especially considering how close we came to shitting the bed in Round 1. Still, I like our chances. All-time, we’re 15-8-1-1 against the Preds at home and 14-10-1-0 in Tennessee. For a preview, click here, and to make a prediction, vote below…
