When the Lethbian Lover doesn't get the shakes from withdrawl, he is a connoseur of fine wines and great value. So, of course he frequents Costco Liquor.

You think I'd be done and over this already, but I just wanted to throw out there that thanks to Bert & Mac's Source for Sports & Movember Canada, I won myself an autographed Paul Stastny Sher-Wood Hockey Mo'Stick!

My good friend Joanne has offerred up a pair of her famous EDIT mittens, as a prize for anyone* who donates to the Movember cause from my Mospace. Take a look at these beauts: Why? Because my grandfather suffers from prostate cancer, and 1 in 7 men will be diagnosed with it each year. I feel that …
