Canadian Heritage Moments: “Live” Blogging the Stanley Cup Playoffs, Game 4

April 19, 2012 in Old Time Hockey, Other Cultures, Wordsmoker

Hello again Wordsmokers! Due to indifferent demand and my need to keep occupied lest I bite all my nails off during this game, I have returned to “live” blog Game 4 of the Vancouver Canucks-Los Angeles Kings Stanley Cup Playoff series! A quick recap: The Canucks are down 3-0 in the series, Daniel Sedin has returned to the lineup after a lengthy absence due to injury, and Los Angeles still has two hockey teams.

Let’s dive in!

PERIOD THE FIRST

So far…not much has happened. Cory Schneider (Vancouver Goalie) has made an excellent save! Apparently because Schneider is starting, that means Vancouver’s #1 goalie, Roberto Luongo, is “on his way out” according to Vancouver sports media, which HA. HAHAHAHAHA. Ha ha ho hee hee. I love drummed up controversy in Sports. Read the rest of this entry →

Canadian Heritage Moments: “Live” Blogging the Stanley Cup Playoffs

April 16, 2012 in Old Time Hockey, Other Cultures

Please be ours.

Hello! I’m PimpMyCouch, and I represent the Canadian Content portion of Wordsmoker. Tonight, I’m “live” blogging the Stanley Cup Playoffs, specifically Game 3 of the Vancouver Canucks-Los Angeles Kings series. Some of you may be intrigued, some indifferent, some confused because you thought hockey was limited to the 49th parallel and above, and why the hell does Los Angeles have a hockey team? (Note: They actually have two.) I will be “live” blogging the game, as I am a bit of a moron computer-wise and don’t really know how to live blog, so I’m just going to blog about it in real time. Don’t judge me!

I will break this up over the three periods of play and any subsequent overtime periods. To date, the Kings lead the series 2-0. Full disclosure: I am a Canucks fan. Go ahead, get your jokes in now. Read the rest of this entry →

Dear Incubus: Stop It.

October 19, 2009 in Audiosmoker

The other day, I was driving home from my friend’s house, after a rousing evening of aerobics and America’s Next Top Model. I was flipping stations on my radio, when I happened upon the most atrocious aural assault known to man, since the Jonas Brothers decided they’d try their hand at music.

The band was Incubus. The song? A cover of Prince’s “Let’s Go Crazy”.

Ottawa lookin' good

Hello Wordsmokers! Get your Snuggies on, grab a mug of cocoa (don’t forget the mini-marshmallows!) and get cozy – I’m going to regale you with tales of a faraway land, a land so magical and pure, grown, brawny men weep uncontrollably thinking about it. That’s right, I’m talking about Canada!

Wait, where are you going?

20 Things About Me: PimpMyCouch

January 23, 2009 in 20 Things About Me

20 Things About Me1. When I was six, I was pushed from the top of a very high slide, falling on my right hip. I remember falling, I don’t remember hitting the ground. I didn’t break a bone, but I couldn’t sit cross-legged without considerable difficulty.

2. I knocked myself unconscious once when I was seven, during the after-school daycare at the Y. I blacked out and woke up hours later, as my family was watching “Family Ties”. I asked my mother why she never took me to the hospital and she said, “Well, you woke up”. My mother is Irish Presbyterian, which should explain things.
