If you're Canadian or have ever watched SCTV, you'll know the opening of Kanadian Korner with Bob and Doug MacKenzie.

If you don't know what I'm talking aboot, feel free to pass right on over this, ya hoser. Take off,eh!

It's the May Two Four weekend (aka the official start to summer's drinking and fishing) up here in the Great White North, and coincidentally enough, the twenty-fourth anniversary of Bob and Doug's movie Strange Brew. So they're re-releasing the movie this weekend, and there's a special on the CBC at 9 tonight. So I'm grabbing a two-four of stubbies, frying up some peameal bacon, and settling in to watch while I buy in numerous times at the Blogger Donkament tonight.

Thanks to my man James, the Blue Screen of Death is no more on the laptop. AND my iPod has stopped being wrangy (I reformatted it anyway just in case). All data has now been backed up, and I am calm once more.

I was going to go off on a poker rant a la Waffles and Hoy, but it's a nice day, a long weekend is coming, my tech woes are over, and my fridge is full of beer. I'm just not in the right headspace for it anymore. But I encourage some of the donks in the Riverchasers last night, please, keep playing like that (who knew that J8 was such a frigging monster) for I know you will eventually pay me off.

It's late, but I played live on Wed at the club with Astin. It was a lot of fun, AND I final tabled. I finished two from the money, but I left happy - I played well, and re-learned the lesson on overly tight play in the late stages of an MTT. The best hand was when we were down to 3 tables, and I was shortstacked at 1800 chips, blinds were 600/1200 at this point (I think). I was getting crap, and had been folding like it was my job. I had the button, and decided to pull the plug and get home in time for the Mookie. I went all in blind, a move which seemed to impress the hell out of the rest of the table. I don't remember the betting sequence, but I tripled up when JT off made a straight on the river. Sometimes the poker gods do actually crack a smile.
