This scene from The Last Unicorn. Couldn't tell you a single thing about the rest of the movie, but this is immediately what came to mind.

I lived in the apartment over it about 15 years ago. I believe their mandate was to make chicken so unappealing that you'd consider going vegetarian. 😎 Kind of astounded that it's still open...

Kid has 30 games of AHL experience. I appreciate the self-confidence, but some more games in Laval is perfectly reasonable.

I absolutely loathe how I no longer know if something is an actual story or if it's just chum from the Outrage Slop Bucket. Like, was the Converse ad thing a real story, or did the Meta algorithm feed me a million posts because I clicked on one post? A week ago I couldn't escape it. Now? Crickets.

Every year there's a trade like the Horvat deal (Raty, 1st, Beauvillier) at the deadline.

Remember the Ground Zero Mosque?? Those were fun times

Does this mean that Hughes might start the year on PP1?

Watching a person for a few seconds, extrapolating from that their entire lives in the most uncharitable manner possible & then posting about it online is such a shitty thing to do. Happens in real life too. See a tired parent zoned out on their phone at the park for 5 mins? Clearly a lousy parent.

I'm guessing this has to do with the counting machines they've started using? Fill in the bubble like it's a scantron card? But yeah, changing things up on me after 30 years of voting? Not cool man, not cool 😎

The number for Lee Hazlewood however, is infinity. 😎

Fair. As long as we still have hating the Yankees, we cool.😎

I think Dach has value as a reclamation project/TDL trade chip. If he performs reasonably well he could net a 2nd or 3rd at the deadline (which improves the return for a guy who had no plans on signing long-term with you)

Neil T @biliousbarnacle.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Mtl will need to include a roster forward in any deal for Marchenko. The only 2 that make any sense are Dach and Kapanen. If Dach, I think a 2nd prospect needs to be added (ex Pickford/Engstrom). If Kapanen, something like 1st, Kap, Zharovsky is a very reasonable offer.

Hmmm...I think I can name 7 NYC mayors - Mamdani, Adams?, Giuliani, Bloomberg, Dinkins, Koch, LaGuardia? Toronto Mayors 8: Chow, Tory, Ford, Miller, Lastman, Hall, Gardiner, Eggleton? It's pretty easy to recall NYC mayors. Don't think I can name any CHI ones...was Rahm mayor?

Rewatching some episodes as an adult forces one towards the realization that Emily was almost always the one in the right.

I bought this very cool Soviet era hand-wound watch. It often randomly stopped working. Or sometimes it would stop for a spell, then start up again for no apparent reason. All of which meant that it was completely useless for telling time. Now it looks quite striking as it sits in my watch case 😏

There is no bottom for these losers.

I think playing both F and D extended Wade Belak's career. I could see a similar thing playing out for Xhekaj.

This is such an easy fix. Every elementary school gets a $5000 petty cash for supplies. Each teacher can spend up to $750 and get reimbursed. When the school runs low, the account gets topped up. It's not rocket science, Doug.

I find it very unsettling when I hear the original for the first time. I had no idea Flowers was a Miley Cyrus song!

Read that quickly as "corn on the cob beer"...which was confusing on a number of fronts 😏

Sounds like the kind of thing you say when you're bullshitting your way through a real estate meeting with skittish investors.

Whaddya think the odds are on whether there's some burlesque dancer somewhere whose stage name is Annie Gall?

As every parent of young children can attest, Encanto is legitimately good.

It tastes like ass anyways. Wayner can go get fucked. (I very rarely swear on this site, but Gretzky deserves it)

Mine is another recent Best Picture winner - Anora. Thoroughly uninteresting characters and a tedious chase plot.

Neil T @biliousbarnacle.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

That one stuck out to me as well...because objectively speaking, that's one handsome man!

It is amazing how much less low-level irritation I feel since leaving Twitter.

Neil T @biliousbarnacle.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

Ppl also seem to really respond poorly to fabulists. Being lied to, and feeling like a chump for believing it is no fun for anyone. (I'm not discounting the racial element to the backlash. I'm off Twitter, but I have a pretty good idea how this played over there)

It's a bit like the James Frey thing in this regard.

1. Edmonton 2. Thunder Bay (unless stopping for dinner there once while driving from Brampton to Winnipeg counts as "visiting"...if it does, then Chatham-Kent)

"Goodnight Nobody" still haunts me five years later...like, what the fuck?

Meh, It's basically fine. Marshall is clumsy, Rocky hates water, someone else is afraid of eagles. There's a chicken and evil cats. Who cares? Also, your kid will age out of it in like six months. Find something more important to worry about.

Neil T @biliousbarnacle.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

These articles are really tiresome. The truth of the matter is that Paw Patrol is basically fine. Marshall is clumsy, Rocky hates water, yadda yadda. Also, your kid will grow out of it really quickly, so worry about something more important, like the "goodnight nobody" page in Goodnight Moon

About thirty-five cents worth of Canadian Tire money. 😎

Was Kristin Wiig the last one? Kinda feels like it. Bill Hader has been in movies (maybe not a *star*, though). Pete Davidson maybe? He's definitely famous at least. But it's been pretty quiet on that front since, like Fey, Poehler, Rudolph etc.

Canadian relief pitcher Paul Quantrill broke his leg snowmobiling - an activity expressly forbidden as per his contract with the Toronto Blue Jays. He needed 3 pins in his leg and missed the first 3 months of the season.

He should string up those toy jets so they like look like they're flying and bombing and stuff. That'd be so rad.

The effects hold up exceptionally well. The tech in the film...not so much. :)

Figuring out that Hamlet is like 30 is real head twist

Neil T @biliousbarnacle.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

I think that's largely true in Canada. I think the US experience was not as positive (for lack of a better word)

I didn't have any complications at all (I just pretended I had hangover-like symptoms for a day so I could watch movies on the couch all day :)
