I'm a Habs fan, too! But my eras are the Jean Beliveau and Guy Lafleur days. I have a fair knowledge of hockey actually, but I am out of touch with the latest rules. I tend not to watch sports nowadays. I'd rather play them. I was just thinking the other day that with the new materials and padding available, hockey uniforms should be like Superman costumes so that you could see the player physiques with some padding added of course. Having the cape flowing as a player speeds down the ice would be cool. And you could use the cape to screen the goalie although a penalty should maybe be called for this. Anyway, Zoo, I wonder if there's anyone doing live play-by-play commentating over the Internet. There could be a market for this, especially for knowledgeable and entertaining commentators.

Since I'm a Habs fan like Greg, I'd want him to stick mainly to his views on Les Canadiens. It doesn't matter that Reed doesn't know much about hockey. He would just need to prime Greg with some basic questions and let Greg run with it. That's basically what Ron Maclean does. Reed would have to work on some really corny puns to close out the show but I'm sure he could handle that. Greg could talk more about his wrestling also.

Sometimes I wonder if there are a group of eighty or so nice people around the world pulling some pleasant cosmic joke on me by saying how much they like Cantankerous. I pretty much trust Jay and Sean's judgment, so I let them gauge when the world is ready for another Cantankerous. Andrew, thx for your ego stroking comment.

I could listen to you, Greg and Jay talk about pretty much nothing all day, and I'd be pleased as a pig in shit. Please keep Cantankerous going, I crave another episode.

You should replace the Batman photo with that one! Sean, I can’t believe you managed to find a photo of me eating watermelon for the scrolling featured posts menu.

I have no idea what inspired Jay to use that French children song from 1964, but it's the type of song that can brighten up a non-cynical person's day. BTW, there's an interesting video for this song on YouTube. I guess The Beatles didn't invent the music video with their promo videos for Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane. :-) @Reed-tard and asdasd: The intro song is “Tomorrow Never Knows” by The Beatles, and the outro song as Jay mentioned in comment #15 is “Sacré Charlemagne” by France Gall.
