I'm going to say either

"Oh, no! Are you sure?"

"WOW! I NEVER NOTICED THAT! HOLY SHIT!"

"HOLY SHIT! SOMEONE CALL RIPLEY'S!!!"

PS: Yes, our beloved Mr Downie is a lefty

Gord Downie
John K. Samson of the Weakerthans
Joni Mitchell
Leonard Cohen
Ron Hawkins of the Lowest of the Low
Sarah Harmer
Neil Young
Neil Osborne of 54-40
Jim & Greg from Blue Rodeo
Hugh Dillon
Michael Timmins of Cowboy Junkies
Ron Sexsmith

Did I miss anybody?

I still say that if you simply combined Gord Downie, John K. Samson, and Ron Hawkins, you'd have the ultimate super-genius lyricist.

I was able to communicate with Robbie this past week. He told me he is very excited about his solo project. He also said they are aiming for a late spring release if everything goes as planned. He mentioned he felt it was some of the best work he has done.

He also spoke of the next Tragically Hip CD. ( Not the Greatest Hits or the upcoming DVD). He said The Hip are in a writing mode and some of the songs are fleshing out to be "good rockers". No mention of a possible release date on that. I get the feeling it is a ways away with all The Hip related material coming out this year.

My contact with Robbie was cool and suprising!

Above the computer, right next to the window at the back of his apartment, Jerry's got that stock image of a lightning strike (The one inside TATH) framed on the wall.

You can see it any episode that takes place in his swingin' pad.

If any other earth shattering developments emerge from these over priced DVD's, I'll let ya know.

Man Can Sue Woman For Sperm Theft Distress

Feb 24, 2005 10:03 am US/Central
CHICAGO (AP) A woman accused of using her lover's sperm to impregnate herself without his knowledge can be held liable for the unwitting father's emotional pain, the Illinois Appellate Court has ruled.

In the ruling released Wednesday, a three-judge panel reinstated part of a lawsuit against Sharon Irons, a doctor from Olympia Fields. The ruling sends the case back to Cook County Circuit Court.

Irons was sued by her former lover, Chicago family physician Richard O. Phillips, who accused her of a "calculated, profound personal betrayal" of him after a brief affair they had six years ago.

Phillips alleges that he and Irons, who practices internal medicine, never had intercourse during their four-month affair, although they did have oral sex three times.

His suit contends that Irons, without his knowledge, kept some of his semen and used it to impregnate herself.

The relationship ended when Phillips learned Irons had lied to him about being recently divorced and was, in fact, still married to another doctor, according to court documents.

Nearly two years later, Irons slapped Phillips with a paternity suit. DNA tests showed Phillips was indeed the father, court papers state.

Phillips was ordered to pay about $800 a month in child support, said Irons' attorney, Enrico Mirabelli.

Phillips then sued Irons, claiming her actions robbed him of sleep and caused him to have trouble eating. He is haunted by "feelings of being trapped in a nightmare," court papers state.

Irons responded that her alleged actions weren't "truly extreme and outrageous" and that Phillips' pain wasn't bad enough to merit a lawsuit. The circuit court agreed and dismissed Phillips' suit in 2003.

But the higher court ruled that, if Phillips' story is true, Irons "deceitfully engaged in sexual acts, which no reasonable person would expect could result in pregnancy, to use plaintiff's sperm in an unorthodox, unanticipated manner yielding extreme consequences."

But the judges agreed with the lower court's decision to dismiss fraud and theft claims against Irons.

They agreed with Irons' lawyers that she didn't steal the sperm.

"She asserts that when plaintiff 'delivered' his sperm, it was a gift -- an absolute and irrevocable transfer of title to property from a donor to a donee," the decision said. "There was no agreement that the original deposit would be returned upon request."

Irons has since divorced, Mirabelli said.

"There's a 5-year-old child here," Mirabelli said Thursday. "Imagine how a child feels when your father says he feels emotionally damaged by your birth."

Phillips is representing himself in the case. He could not be reached for comment Thursday.

What would you do??

First, I would buy the blackhawks. Reduce ticket prices by 95% and have nickel beer night every friday.

Next, buy up as much shore front property around the great lakes so that greedy fucks in texas california and the rest of america couldn't get their greasy hands on the precious water in my great lakes. Fuck texas.

Then, if there was ANY left over (which probably would not be the case since lake shore realestate is off the hook lately, and I'd be losing mad funds with my blackhawks financing) and rig the U2 touring plane to explode b/c they need to stop making shitty music.
