The Cat's Diary


Day 983 of my captivity.

My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength. The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape.

In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet. Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates my capabilities. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a "good little hunter" I am. Haters!

There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of "allergies." I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage.

Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow, but at the top of the stairs.





I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released, and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded. The bird must be an informant. I observe him communicating with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe. For now...

Catch 22



Did he, or didn't he?

Do you believe the trainer? Or the player?

Honestly, it is believed here at Givener, that both are lying to a certain extent. But I do believe the Roger did take steroids. But here 'lies' the catch 22. Does it really matter? Whether he did or not, yes, tarnishes his reputation - but it WASN'T ILLEGAL!! There were no rules in baseball saying that HGH or steroids were against MLB policy. Clemens found a way to be dominant within the rules, and thus did so. If I were him, I'd just shut up and enjoy the rest of my life. Why deny it? Pettite manned up. Is Pettite a Hall of Famer? Probably not, but as I grow older, I'll remember Pettite as a guy who was a big game performer. I hate him as much as I hate Jeter, but you cannot deny their ability to come up big when it mattered.

So Clemens 'cheated' - who cares. If he gets in the Hall - Pete Rose belongs there as well. The biggest difference between the two is that Rose did something that was illegal - he bet on baseball. But really, how can he gamble the fact that he has more career hits than anyone in MLB history. If Clemens goes, so does McGwire, Rose and Bonds.

What do we think here? None of them go. The most deserving is Rose - but he broke the rules, thus pays the consequences. If MLB wants to instill drug bans, they have to set a precedent and not let these players be eligible for the hall.

22 just happens to be his number......

Oh, and for the record, we think he's a class act pointing the finger at his wife for using HGH for a magazine cover.... nice

Mel Wiggins

Normally you'll read here dried, senseless humour, but this post is a little more of the serious nature. We wouldn't normally do something like this here at Givener, but we want to reach out and help out a friend. It takes very little time to do this, so please do us a favour and vote for our friend. Her name is Mel Wiggins and she is a singer/song writer from Ireland. We know her personally here, and she is just a fabulous person. When the editors here at Givener got wind of her opportunity here to be able to record a CD, we've jumped on board.

Give it a listen if you feel the need.

You can check her out at Myspace

This isn't some kind of radio contest where people are creating numerous groups on facebook or spamming emails. She's the real deal.

Here's how it works.

Head on over to slice the pie

Register your name and email.

Click on 'Showcases' at the top of the page

Select 'all genre's 2'

click on 'listen'

have a look at all the artists

Mel is right at the bottom and currently in second place.

Click on VOTE!

AND your done

If you do a little reading there, she was selected along with 10 other artists out of a group of 1000. Not too shabby if we do say so ourselves.

So do what's right and help out an independent artist and a close personal friend of the editors here at Givener.

Yes... Superbowl Ads.....

Is it that cliche to blog my favourite Superbowl ads? To be completely honest, the editors here at Givener could care less about American Football - but even we were impressed in the manner this Superbowl had ended.

But the ads are still better.

Here are our favourites.

This ones for Don Koharski

I know the season is over... thats fine. But seriously....

non-calls, and bad calls

Antropov gets a three game suspension....

Go Leafs Go



Maurice's reaction



Game winning goal where Gill was hooked right after Antropov got a hooking call from hooking somebody with the heel of his stick.



Sundin Ties it.... For the record - the first scrum in front of the net a Carolina player covers the puck with his hand in the blue paint - no call
