Happy Halloween

Hey there blogosphere,

Just thought I would wish you a happy halloween. This year I dressed up as a jack o'lanturn. You'll be happy to know that at the halloween social I attended everyone was calling me Jacky Boy.

Who Will replace Regis? Groban in The Dogs House.

Hey there blogosphere,

Ever since I replaced Regis Philbin in Who Wants to be a Millionaire in a grade 8 talent show, I have always had a bit of a soft spot in my heart for him. The price is right is now hosted by a rather slim and tan Drew Carey, while Bob Barker sits at home alone. Piers Morgan now harasses celebrities on CNN, while Larry King sits at home alone. Now, finally Regis is looking to join his television counterparts - sitting alone at their respective homes, together.

Regis had a good run and it will be sad to see him go. In a rather chaotic world, Reg has been a constant. You could always count on tuning in at 9 am on a weekday and watch his leathery smile glisten as he blabs about the yankees or fakes interest into one of Kelly's stories.

Of course, in reality, in the past few years Reg was far from a constant. Each week was littered with co-hosts, from Anderson Cooper to Ryan Seacrest to Clay Aikin. And now, as his departure nears, it's time to pick a replacement.

I sure hope it's not Kelly's husband, Mark Conselose. Sorry Mark, I don't have enough time to look up the proper spelling of your name. The last thing the world needs is to listen to a privileged celebrity couple try to relate to people by saying ridiculous things. Like how Kelly is always blabbing about how she is out of shape whenever they have a doctor on.

Really Kelly, your having trouble getting through 2 hours of spin class? I get chest pains when I walk up a flight of stairs and I'm 24. You can't relate to me!

So, I've established that it's important that the replacement be someone with whom I can relate. That's why, blogosphere, The Dogs House is going to official endorse Josh Groban as Regis's relplacement. Now, I know what your thinking. Josh is a singer, your an actor, how can you relate?


Well, blogosphere. If you'll recall, one of my acting credits is atually an Opera. So yeah, I can sing. Furthermore, I've performed the song "you raise me up" on countless occasions. In fact, some say my voice actually resembles Grobans.

So blogosphere, this is your turn to chime in. I've given you my endorsement, now you give me yours. Feel free to post your choice to replace regis, or vote in the poll to your right.

Go Leafs Go

Hey there blogosphere,

Have you had an opportunity to check out who is leading the NHL in points, goals, wins for a goalie, and shut-outs? Also, did you check the league standings today to see who is winning. You can find it all here:

You'll probably notice that there all Leafs. This year could be the year. Phaneuf is no Wendel, Reimers no Potvin, and Kessel is far, far from being Killer. But, on the other hand, I think the rest of the league is weaker than it's ever been. On the strength of their weakness, this could be the year.

I should also give a quick update on my new favorite Leaf, David Steckel. He's a solid face off man who can kill penalties, but that's not why I like him. He's the man who put out Crosby last year with a blatant blow to the head. Sid is still out. I hope, for his sake, he decides to hang them up. He has a cup, an MVP, a gold medal, the golden goal. It can only go downhill for him. Especially considering my conditioning. As I mentioned on my birthday, I'm in the best shape of my life and I think sometime this year I may crack the marlies line up - if given the opportunity to try out. I'm a Canadian citizen blogosphere, I should have the right to try out for any team I want.

Provincial Election

Hey there blogosphere,

I've been reviewing the provincial parties political platforms today, in an attempt to educate myself before I vote. As someone who doesn't have access to the CBC's nightly news program - a program that I should get for free but has been robbed of me by digital television forcing myself to become ill informed, and my roommate to become even LESS informed - I am forced to retreat to starbucks to peruse the 3 main party websites. I've quickly realized I'll probably stick to my guns and go the way I always go, which, for your information blogosphere, is none of your information - it's a secret ballet.


Thanks a lot CBC, is this coffee on you?
