Yeah baby. Thanks to Jeff who runs an awesome Bryan McCabe fansite for putting it together.

Your last morning news roundup, before Jerrold returns, for Friday November 16th, 2007:

The CNE is gonna cost a total of at least 47 million dollars for remodeling and junk. Can you guess who's gonna foot a chunk of the bill?

McGuinty has wussed out of banning cell phone use while driving, saying he "Wouldn't know where to draw the line." The answer is simple you twit; don't let people use their phones in any way while driving a motor vehicle. No, there won't be any lenience for using a frickin' iPhone, Adam Schwabe.

A variation of the common cold virus killed 10 US citizens over 18 months. Should we really be all that concerned of it hitting us when influenza is directly related to 36,000 deaths a year, and is questionable in another 470,000 worldwide? Get your damn flu shots people and save some old people, people.

That stupid Bloor condo that had students getting paid to sit in for real estate agents hasn't even been cleared by the city yet.

Wanna know who's to blame for recent Mississauga lake oil spills? YOU ARE.

The weather's gonna suck a lot harder a lot sooner.

Get your Darth Maul on tonight! BlogTOers will be there, in force (Psst! See what I did there!?) and will be sure to kick your dark-side wandering asses.

Even though I really don't give a hoot about hockey or Bryan McCabe, I do enjoy making fun of him. It seems like I'm not the only one, as www.McCabeSucks.com is a living, breathing intertube site. Rejoice friends, for Jerrold returns from a questionable trip to Thailand on Monday.

Your morning news roundup for Thursday November 15th, 2007:

TTC Chairman Adam Giambrone is promising to improve riders' experiences. Wanna know if that bus is ever coming? No worries, they're gonna install a whole buncha crap to the tune of ten million dollars over the next few years.

But wait a sec, cities like Montreal already have some of these things in place (re: personal map generation online to plot travel and associated times), and it costs adults less every month than it costs students in Toronto to ride. Even with the exorbitant fees and hikes, the TTC is still expecting to come up 30+ million dollars short next year.

So what if Jiri likes to hang out with his wang out, who doesn't? I'm in my sexy suit as I write this right now. Besides, if anyone wants to hang out near Leafs forward Wade Belak's place for a bit, you run the chance of catching him taking out the trash in the buff.

Some psycho (err, alleged psycho) got out of a second degree murder rap for murdering his wife via a dozen blows with a hammer. A manslaughter verdict was reached after he testified to not remembering murdering his wife while their 9 year old daughter watched.

A man died near Spadina and Bloor after the scaffolding he was standing on for some masonry work fell.

Mayor Miller is supah dupah excited to turn Union Station into the place for Torontonians to hang out.

I'm still waiting for ethanol to revolutionize the way I brush my teeth, so I won't jump for joy at the thought of a bunch v8 engined trucks hauling grapes around.

Mandatory gun violence news.

Your morning news roundup for Wednesday November 14th, 2007:

Careless smoking is believed to have caused a fire in a downtown high rise, resulting in one elderly man's death.

Thanks to more Torontonians using low-flow toilets, coupled with reduced electricity usage and emissions at our water treatment plants, we can expect water prices to, what eff? Prices are going up?

Lotto retailers are still screwing with you, and the man is still saying they're gonna look into it.

A wise hostel-runner once told me "Australians will sleep anywhere." I blame Kylie Minogue for the recent bed-bug infestations in Toronto.

Turns out the people of Port Hope have been exposed to excessive levels of radiation for some 70 years. Aquamen have yet to emerge (psst, see what I did there?). Residents want some answers, one can assume in regards to the lack of Aquamen.

The 1 Bloor Condo sales office is finally gonna open up to agents. Students, at last, can go home and spend the $3000 a week they've been making, chuzza!

Bryan McCabe really should just quit hockey, instead spending his days crying in the corner of a grade school classroom while wearing a dunce hat. He'd be good at that.

Your morning news roundup for Tuesday November 13th, 2007, now with 100% less Jerrold:

Maybe this is the nice, balancing dollar news Tim was looking for the other day? After falling a record 3 cents (you heard me, three mondo cents), our dollar is worth a woeful $1.03 and change. Face it US of A, your dollar bites, hard.

McGuinty is claiming that our Prime Minister doesn't give a toot about Ontario's cities. Harper didn't have a response prepped, as he was busy finishing off his plate of stewed infant with a side of newborn kitten.

Anyone else dreaming of "making a mistake" with this facker?

4 guys were inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame, located a few minutes away from some tasty gelato. Is it just me or are the names making it in not as legendary as they were in the past? Scott Stevens?!?

I may be a full-time skeptic, but even I can't explain paranormal phenomena like this.

Health officials expect super hero-esque powers to develop in the people of Port Hope, within a matter of months. I'll be happy so long as the writers for Heroes don't introduce yet another character that can have any power in the world or fly.

But wait, there's more!

Were you at Bay and King at around noon today? 'Cause if you were, you probably noticed two things.

First, Raine Maida was busking on the SW corner of the intersection. He was accompanied by two other guitarists, though all the cameras and people were clearly focussed on the old Our Lady Peace singer.

That's all well and good, but if you scanned the SE corner for a moment you'd have noticed the two ladies from The Atomic Cherries stripping to their undies.
