I'm delighted to report that although I had some trepidation based on early reviews, the TV version of Time Bandits is actually really good.

I might have gotten to it eventually, but thanks to @robinfromwork.bsky.social for kicking me in the general direction.

Also, Ross Noble!

Doesn't Dunkel mean dark?

If that's the noise it's making, you'll need an oil can.

This is literally the reason my pelvis is misaligned.

A not insignificant portion of my thought process on going to the Ontario Craft Brewers Conference this year is so that I can get either a Banh Mi Hue or Viva La Pita order in for the return trip.

That shawarma place looked pretty good from the bus stop last year.

That guy's a real hosehead, eh?

They stopped inspecting cattle, so a lot of them now have screw worm, which may be why no one wants to import America's beautiful beef.

Tonight's late great definitely not baseball movie stars Toshiro Mifune in Sanjuro.

Does anyone else just have terrible knots in their shoulders now? What a stressful game.

No one wants to throw up when Joyce Carol Oates steps into the box.

Tonight's game brought to you by Big Flags.

When you need a big flag, think Big Flags.

Life is like a tin of sardines in that we are all of us looking for the key. For your prodigal Jordan, you might want to check his email address before you send anymore tidings. And, depending on which Jordan he may be, according to the missives, his national geographic subscription may have lapsed.

You have not emailed your Jordan, but rather a Canadian profligate. Am I my Jordan's keeper. And yet, as the talmud teaches us, if not me who and if not now, when?

With Jacob stating 'for i am an hairy man and yet my brother Esau is an smooth man.'

And isn't the internet a little like that? Google's mail service does not parse periods, and for this reason, I, a Canadian Jordan who signed up with Gmail in 2002, receive emails for all the other Jordans St.John.

Periodic update on the Jordans St. John, response only, to a scripture quoting Randy St. John with the wrong email for his Jordan:

Dear Papaw Randy.

I reminded of the tale of Esau and Jacob who find themselves so different from one another.

The vibes are really off downtown. Mostly people in ones and twos, not a lot of foot traffic. A lot of blue, but you get the sense they're killing time.

Day after Halloween, so it is an older crowd.

I'd call it milling about, mostly.

Give it four hours.

Eastbound brewing was talking about contingency tequila.

Gracious.

Bars and restaurants across Toronto are already full in preparation for #BlueJays game six. It's amazing. The entire city is showing up. They're gonna hear our victory party all the way in Los Angeles.
