    Won't you be my Yoko Ono?

    Great song with Chuck Berry and John Lennon singing but about halfway through Yoko starts screeching and the look on Chuck's face is priceless. A good laugh for anyone who blames Yoko: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzW7wzKR34k&search=john%20lennon%20berry

    Worldcup 2006 (Note: May contain spoilers if you are recording games)

    Alright, it's that time again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm a die hard England fan, and I readily admit that if we do not win (or at least beat the Argentines) I will lie down in the road and, amongst the tears and curse words, await my death. Lets keep any discussion, articles etc. related to the cup...

    The Arctic Monkeys

    I took a break from posting for a while, so I didn't get to do my weekly music review. The Arctic Monkeys are a band from Sheffield, UK and I had the pleasure of seeing them live this past summer at a dingy shitehole. It's actually very typical modern punk (strokes, etc.) but the difference is...

    West Point @ RMC Hockey Game

    Any of the RMC cadets or anyone in the Kingston area make it out to the game last night? I saw it was a 3-3 tie, wondering if it was any good or if the fans were sleeping by the end of it. I used to go all the time with my dad when we lived in Ontario.

    Looking for a book on Vietnam

    After spending an hour in the military history section at Chapters and coming away with a book I'm somewhat unsure about (Michael Herr's: Dispatches") I need some help finding a history book, somewhat anecdotal in nature, written in the first person perspective on the Vietnam War. There are...

    MilBlogs/WarBlogs

    I was reading an article in Wired Magazine (me nerd yes) and I started reading about MilBlogs, which I'm sure many here are familiar with.

    A CD for the holidays

    I'll admit it, I'm a John Lennon fan. All disagreements with his politics aside, I really like John Lennon as a person and an artist. Last night I picked up a CD called "Working Class Hero: The Definitive Lennon" and it pretty much covers all of his music, it's a double CD and it pretty much...

    Shortened recruiting times

    So I've been talking to recruiters in Halifax about getting back in, and the Naval reserve tells me it's now 3-5 months from application to enrolment, and they said it with sincerity so I believe them to a certain extent. Anyone having started the recruiting process recently find it's taking...

    The Dentist

    So it's been 3 hours since I went in for my "Teeth Cleaning" at the dentist and my entire jaw feels like I got punched. I mean, first of all, why is it that she has to use a sharp metal pick to clean the area of the tooth near my gums????? A dull plastic would do the same job and wouldn't make...

    I'm hoping someone can help me figure out the names and details surrounding a couple of Child Guerillas I remember seeing a while ago. The details I remember are: They looked to be from Southeast Asia, I was thinking possible Cambodian, Idonesian or Filipino. They also looked like they were in...
