Tie Domi! This dick head got way too much air time for his announced retirement. Yet another Leaf great that never won a cup, or made it to the finals, or did anything that could remotely identify him as a hockey star. TSN, decides this guy would be a good fit in their organization along career backup goalie and ex-Leaf Glenn Healy. What’s next? Don Cherry?

TSN : NHL – Canada’s Sports Leader
Tie Domi announced his retirement as an NHL player Tuesday, but he’ll be staying close to big-league hockey as a TSN analyst.

“I am excited and nervous in my new role and I promise to bring the same passion and dedication to the broadcast arena that I delivered on the ice night in and night out,” Domi said during a 30-minute news conference at Air Canada Centre organized by the Toronto Maple Leafs. “I’m not going to hold much back.

“What you saw on the ice is what you’re going to see on TV every Wednesday night from coast to coast. I might need a six-second delay when I start. I’m not a guy who vanillas many things.”

Motorcycle Personality Test

Harley 883 Sportster
You scored 2 moxie, 2 zeal, and -2 pomp!

You scored dead center average, lacking any of the personality quirks that normally drive people to motorcycling.

However, if you do ride, statistics would suggest that you are destined for a Harley-Davidson, probably something in the Softail line.

You might have noticed that’s a lot of moolah for an (arguably) obsolete piece of machinery, and you’re too rational and attitude-free to need the Biggest and Baddest that the marketeers tell you to buy. A far more reasonably priced taste of the Harley Kool-Aid is the 883 Sporty, a fun little beast that leaves you with plenty of cash to customize.

On the other hand, the only reason I’m bringing up the Harley-Davidson product line at all is due to the fact that Harley is the choice most people think of when they consider getting into motorcycling, and that’s mostly because they don’t know much about the alternatives.

Thought experiment: if you were the only person left on earth, and you could pick any motorcycle you wanted, what would you choose? Best looking or best engineered? Your test results don’t really point in any direction strongly, so I’ll try to nudge you towards substance over style.

Consider: a FXST Softail weighs 629lbs dry, the base version starts around $14k, and will make 75-80hp — after you tweak it with pipes and a jet kit. A Buell XB12R weighs 395lbs dry, costs $10.5k and makes 103hp, stock. An Aprilia Tuono R weighs 417lbs, costs $12k, and makes 125hp, stock. (We won’t even mention the bang for buck of the Japanese competitors.) Still a fan of retro-classic styling? Then at least consider Harley’s V-Rod, which mixes in some modern engineering into the equation (596lbs, 125hp, $17k).

While the Sportster is a reasonable compromise, you may discover that you enjoy the added feedback provided by standard-style bikes such as the Suzuki SV or the Ducati Monster. (If you must hang with the Harley crowd, they’ll be less likely to give you grief if you choose the Buell, though.)

You have the potential to be a great rider. Take the MSF class, and choose a bike that won’t hold you back!

k0ala sent me these coffee cup and coffee holder photos.

After 4 days of buying coffee, I am 1 for 8 and I won a donut (replaced it with a Banana Nut Muffin). The average is 1 in 9 win a prize. So far I am slightly better than average.
