Strombo's Mom

It pains me to have to say that this latest random and coincidental reference to my home town comes thanks to a certain quarterback's extended 15-minutes of fame by turning pigskin play into pulpit preaching. Nevertheless, it was this sweet Tweet treat from CBC's George Stroumboulopoulos concerning his Mom...

For the record, there shall be NO Tebowing here as a result of this latest co-in-key-dink!

Need a Shark Tank or Lap Pool?

After catching the Denver Broncos come from behind win over the Chicago Bears, I decided to venture out in the cold to grab some artery-clogging kibbles at Dangerous Dans, chocolate and Coke.

Nursing a nasty chest cold, Wes stayed back at the loft. Not wanting to start watching The Simpsons Christmas episode without me, he flipped over to CTV to mindlessly watch a show featuring architecture and a renovated building in Vancouver. So it's a Canadian network, a Canadian show about a Canadian city and Canadian architects.

One of the amazing features of this building is that the rooftop lap pool doubles as the skylight for the penthouse suite. Click on the YouTube link and I'll let the video pick up at this point...

Of course, the only source in North America is, where else??!

Former Toronto Mayor Tweet

Quick check of my Twitter feed today and this one caught my eye as it mentioned a familiar city.

Are you seeing a pattern here - these things happen almost daily.

American Dad

Sunday night TV viewing...The Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad, Shannon Sharpe. Shannon Sharpe??! Are you serious?! A character on American Dad playing an alien hunter for Stan's office in the C.I.A?!

NFL Hall of Famer and former Senver Bronco Shannon Sharpe!

The only consolation is Stan's fantasy mountain ski lodge wasn't mentioned as being in Colorado.

Goodhandy's Sodom Jock Party

How I missed seeing this given how involved I am at Goodhandy's and even with the set-up while twinksitting for the decorating for the monthly Sodom Party, I'll never know. Nevertheless, as I was looking at all the posted pictures from the Sodom Jock Party from 19-November, it didn't take much for this picture to grab my attention. So now the question is...did someone already know my connection to the Mile High City, thinks of me in a "Daddy"-sense and thus figure this was a subtle hint that I qualify as a "DILF" or are there really no notable cities in all of Canada that begin with the letter "D?"

As we think about it...the first option seems more likely than the latter believe it or not! Go ahead...feel free to comment with the name of a 'notable' Canadian city beginning with the letter D. Until then, yes, we have to include this as a coinkeydink.

Four Square Mayorship

In my daily effort to give my Entourage and stalkers a fighting chance to get a glimpse of their idol, I make the effort to check-in pretty much everywhere on FourSquare. Of course the competition between Wes and I over point totals and Mayorships doesn't play a role at all.

But, i digress so, imagine my reaction and instant "yet another co-ink-a-dink" exasperation when I discovered the mayor of this check-in earlier today!

Toronto Diary: Toronto's gay blog on Xtra.ca

So the wicked sexy Jeremy Feist pens this blog on one of our local queer websites associated with the printed publication Xtra. Jeremy also has the title of Porndoggy...a position previously held by Goodhandy's co-owner extraordinaire Todd Klinck. I first met Jeremy while he worked at the club and I was doing the latest renovation. Are you getting all this kids?? There will be a test later!

So during my frequent feeble attempts to flirt with him, I'm surprised this hasn't come up earlier, but as I was catching up on his blog and specifically his entry about Remembrance Day, there was yet another coincidence staring me in the face. Jeremy's uncle...a member of the Canadian Armed Forces...is being treated for battle injuries, in where else?
