ramblings for a Grey Cup Sunday

Who knew? The only act that could make me wish for a Rene Simard comeback, Celine and Rene Angelil, have cancelled a Halifax concert for next year based on negative public reaction.
Had we all only known that all it would take is saying how we felt, Celine would have been silenced years ago I'm sure. Can anyone really believe that the concert was cancelled because of this? Far more likely that Rene found out that a) Halifax is casino-less (I don't know) or b) The maximum bet limit is too low(again I don't know).

Okay so I am watching Sunday Morning today, and I realilze that Anne Murray is amazing, and way cooler at 62 than 35.

The rest of Canada is correct, Toronto might actually suck. At least when it comes to celebrating, partying and generally acting like dumb asses. It seems if you are from Toronto you need to be too cool to notice that it is Grey Cup week, guys are driving around painted GREEN!
There's one guy with flames shooting out of his head! How cool do you need to be to ignore that? The usual line is that there is lots going on in Toronto all the time so no one really is enthralled by any one event...come on, the guys got flames coming out of his head!!!!!!
Nothing at the Opera house is going to compete with that, what's happening at the docks? sure but does anyone have flames...you get the picture.
Three down football is best. Incursion into the opponents territory needs to be rewarded (by one point), giving a point after a missed field goal is not rewarding failure, rather it is rewarding making the ball unplayable by your opponents. Twelve men are better than eleven, and a football field should be bigger than the guys playing on it. So everyone who prefers the brand of football played in the Nearly Football League (NFL) really ought to get a clue.
Every where else Canadian Football is a unifying force, c'mon Toronto let your bloody cool facade down and get into it. and all of us living in Toronto know its strictly a cool act. Toronto is a great place in most ways, not this one.
Go Riders GO!!!!!!

I wish I had seen the flames - it's a serious fan willing to risk their life in such a way over the Grey Cup. I wish I had seen it, but I really wouldn't want to get very close.

Halifax has a casino - its called "Casino Nova Scotia"

Just thought I'd give a pointer :P

AND I'm pissed about the whole "Celine wont come to Halifax because a columnist in the Daily News doesn't like her"

Bull!

And flames are cool beans...

Stay warm - its bloody freezing out there!!

(You'll notice I didn't comment on the football-ness of this post. S'cause I know SQUAT all about football! :P)

You're pissed Celine's not coming, I would think that the day she didn't come would be a Provincial Holiday.

Emma, One can never be close enough to a guy with a flaming head. Remember this, it might come in handy one day.
