Vancouver 2010 Olympic Opening Ceremonies? Bust.
Posted by Ryan Northcott in Olympics, Vancouver 2010 on 12. Feb, 2010 | 12 Comments
We had a chance to show the world who we were, we had a chance to showcase ourselves, we had the world’s attention…what did we do? We effed it up.
Well to be more precise, David Atkins effed it up by making what I like to call the Debbie Downer Olympic opening ceremonies.

Tim Horton’s Finally Gets It Right
Posted by Ryan Northcott in Commercials, Hockey, Tim Hortons on 06. Feb, 2010 | 1 Comment
I have pretty much lambasted Tim Horton’s on this blog because of their terrible “shove it down your throat” wholesomey goodness commercials which just plain suck. Yet as much as I throw the book at them, I have to give them gold stars where deserved, and the latest Sidney Crosby/Tim Horton’s ad is awesome. [...]
Adventures in Music
Posted by Ryan Northcott in Music on 24. Jan, 2010 | 0 Comments
I write a lot about music, partly because I dabble in it, mostly because it inspires me. I get such a kick of finding a new song or artist…which reminds me of a story. I was the tender age of 16, I had just begun liking dance/electronic music and somehow I came across [...]
Patrice Cormier’s Hockey Career Should End
Posted by Ryan Northcott in Canada, Hockey on 19. Jan, 2010 | 4 Comments
***Edit – Cormier Suspended***
Patrice Cormier has accepted his punishment, suspended for the remainder of the year and the playoffs, without lodging an appeal. Frankly, it’s the smartest thing he’s done, but I still feel it falls far below what should have been done.
I imagine a lot of people have seen the hit by Patrick [...]
Top 10 Commercials According to Me

More and more, the commercials we see on TV are much more entertaining than they used to be, whether funny, sad, poignant…you get the idea. Here are some of my favorite.
1. Ikea Lamp
Spike Jonz directed this commercial and did it with perfection. I think it got a lot of us, perhaps making [...]
Getting Back to the Groove
Posted by Ryan Northcott in FuddyTV, Site News on 01. Nov, 2009 | 0 Comments
Let’s face it, the departure of our fine friend Dave kind of rocked our world and threw FUDDYTV into panic mode. Suddenly and out of the blue we’d lost an integral part of our group. So as we picked up the pieces and decided how we were going to move forward, we threw [...]
A Farewell to FUDDYTV from David Haysom
Posted by David Haysom in David Haysom, FuddyTV, Sad, Site News on 27. Sep, 2009 | 0 Comments
I witnessed “the was” when FUDDYTV was birthed on a warm spring evening. I have been a part of “the now” while FUDDYTV mustered up another humdinger of a video. However, I will not be a part of “the coming” during FUDDYTV’s rise to the bigger and better.
This last video, “The Roommates Series Finale: [...]
Tired of Being Your Parents IT Support?

I have a small and nagging problem. It’s my mother, and her utter lack of any expertise with the computer…bless her heart. You see, she’s stuck in the Windows XP world, waiting too many minutes to start up the machine and the constant crashes, bog downs and useless crap. It’s no surprise [...]
The Temper Trap’s – “Sweet Disposition”

sweet disposition

and while our bloods still young
it’s so young
it runs
and we won’t stop til it’s over
won’t stop to [...]

Just when we thought the RickRoll was dead…here comes the RockRoll…
