That's part of what keeps me coming back. It brings a wonderful balance to the blogosphere. This nerdery post was lovely. I like seeing people get so excited about something that they geek out hardcore. It has its own inherent wit, I think.

Umm...the only thing I can say to your comment is that we're just not as satirical or clever as you are. And, we like Winnipeg. And, I am not sure how to acticulate my extreme loathing of Winnipeg's traffic congestion due to road construction. Yet. Thanks for the funny article Will!

Where is an at least occasional critical or otherwise negative thing to say about Winnipeg?! I thought we were curling buddies. :D Everything I think about the CBC in general comes down to this article:

Unfortunately your mid-name double "m" doesn't quite cut it according to these rules. :P But seriously (or not so seriously) isn't it interesting that there are so many "W" and "M" names among these broadcasters?! This is why the post is categorized as 'Peg Nerdy, I suppose! Hmm…Memma Wood would add up to a nice a respectable 3 points!

This is hilarious! This is the best post in the 'Peg Nerdery category yet. I'd be remiss if I didn't ask - if I were a CBC radio host, could I get some points for having a double M in my name, and a last name that starts with W? Oh, Maron. This is hilarious!
