Now, they'd have something, if they could invent a microwave that doesn't make the food taste like it was duct taped.

Here's some more off topic prattle. When microwave ovens first came onto the market, I was working for Wards and I sold them. There actually were some people who thought they were a hoax and that our demonstrations were "rigged". In fact, I had one couple that swore we were "doing black magic" and that we "would be punished for doing Satan's work"!

They sold pretty well, though.

That may be the funniest thing I have heard all day. That would have took a lot of explaining to "prove" there was no "magic."

I am a Habs fan. It's better than following the Toronto Maple Laughs.

However, I will acknowledge that when the Leafs do win the Cup next, it will be the biggest party that North America has ever seen. I can guarantee that.

Arrests, looting, and cars on fire last night. What if the Habs had lost?

My microwave oven stopped working recently. Do you know where I can get the black magic refilled?
