The measure of a man
According to Google Analytics, somebody out there recently found this site by running a search for the phrase “size of matt blair.” Since you asked, anonymous visitor, I’m six feet tall and I weigh a hundred and fifty pounds. Hope that helps!

Link of the Day: The Metropolitan Community Church
Quite possibly the best church in town. We attended their service as guests this morning, and as always it was a great time. But I’ll tell you a little more about that later. The senior pastor at the MCC is none other than the Reverend Brent Hawkes, who also happens to be one of Canada’s […]

Democratic malaise
Several months ago I wrote a letter to Tony Clement, the Conservative MP who had recently complained that only “elites” and “chattering classes” cared about the government’s second annual prorogation. Clement had told the press that he had received “maybe three dozen emails” from constituents voicing their concern, and although I wasn’t one of his […]

Link of the Day: He Is Just A Rat
Hot on the heels of my link to the Dry Shave website comes the site for another great independent Canadian comic from day gone by. It’s hosted as a subsite of secretlair.com, the official website of artist and game designer Tony Walsh. It hasn’t been updated in a while, and judging by the main website, […]

It’s Friday, so here’s the video for “All Uncovered” by the Watchmen
Here’s a great song by a fine band that still holds up sixteen years after the fact. It’s also a bit of a bummer, but what can I tell you? They can’t all be toe-tappers, and frankly, nor should they be. The Watchmen were another one of the bands I had the pleasure of booking […]

Link of the Day: Macho Business Donkey Wrestler
What a week, you guys. I’ve been working heavily, socializing heavily, drinking heavily… And as you can see, I’ve even been blogging heavily. The only thing I haven’t been doing heavily lately is sleeping, and I really ought to make the time to do so. Today’s link isn’t anything socially conscious or vital. As it […]

Look at this kid, you guys, I don’t even care
I’ll be honest with you. I’ve spent the past day or two trying to pretend that a baby who’s been plunked down inside a hollow watermelon that’s been gently placed in the seat of a comfortable chair – and who’s been left to gnaw on the walls of his own little watermelon cage like it’s […]

Thirty percent
I totally praised my mother and my girlfriend alike in my most recent post – and if you’re willing to be patient, I’ll praise them both again, along with my sister. But in the meantime, just so you don’t think I’m trying to come off as the world’s most enlightened man, I’ll tell you a […]

If you’re going to be a homophobe, you should at least try not to make it look so lame
Today on my lunch break, I overheard a couple of sad, middle-aged losers use the good name of “Jim J. Bullock,” an HIV-positive gay actor who enjoyed a good deal of success in the eighties, as a euphemism for gay men in general. “Look at that guy,” one of them muttered. “That guy’s a real […]

Maybe it’s time for the pendulum to swing back towards the campy sixties sensibility
“Commissioner…” “Yes, Mickey?” “How do you call your Batman?” “‘Come here, Batman!’” “And if he doesn’t answer?” “‘Oh, Batman…’” “And if he still doesn’t answer?” “Well, what I do then is I’ve got this bat signal.”
