It's amazing what you find when you clean. I found a Super 7 ticket from the May 6 draw on which I'd won a free ticket. I guess I should cash that in, shouldn't I?
While watching the Leafs game tonight, I was struck by a thought... whoever picks the songs that are played on the PA system during stoppages in play needs to have it explained that Franz Ferdinand's "Do You Want To" probably isn't about what he or she thinks it is... after all, it has a male singer performing the lines "Oh well do you, do you do you want to, want to go/Where I've never let you before?" and "Well he's a friend and he's so proud of you/Your famous friend, well I blew him before you, oh yeah..."
(To hear the song, go to this site and click where "Do You Want To" is listed under "Featured Songs.")
Then again, the Leafs won tonight (though they did their best to blow their lead in the third period), so I'm not going to complain.

I think I still distrust him because of the incident when he played with Dallas (I think) where he got drunk and assaulted a cop, then tried to offer him a bribe of one billion dollars not to arrest him.
Wow. I never heard about that. O_O
It happened about five years ago. There are some details here (http://www.buzzle.com/editorials/1-12-2001-2072.asp).
