Friday Afternoon Link Dump

It's Friday afternoon, you all should be at a bar drinking by now. Honestly wasn't it like Hoth this morning in Vancouver - and now it is like a pleasant crisp Tatooine. If you're not, check out these links and get going:

*Start your weekend off with a really great A-Team shirt.

*Yes. Apple. We bow to your awesomeness. Even if it is just in speaker form.

*This really could be the world's greatest burger. EVER. And no, it's not from damned White Spot. "The ballpark sandwich will include a hamburger topped with sharp cheddar cheese and two slices of bacon -- all between a "bun" made of a sliced Krispy Kreme Original Glazed doughnut."

*I love how Bill Clinton was rolling today - making people in the city late probably for the whole day. Power Within?

*Who knew we had a wine hotel in Vancouver? The Executive Hotel Vintage Park (1379 Howe Street, Vancouver, B.C.) is now open for business. City Food has the details on the opening night reception.

*Restaurant critic/food review tyrant Alexandra Gill reviews Century in today's Globe and Mail. She likes the Che inspired space, has no time for the subpar Mojito, the octopus was chewy, but sums up things this way, "I'm sure the masses will still flock to Century to check out this exciting new space for themselves. The restaurant really is gorgeous. The service is excellent. The kitchen shows promise. And eventually, the people will decide if it succeeds or fails. Somehow, I think Che would approve." Wow. Great. Che approves. I base all my dinning experiences on communist thug. I was kind of hoping for a much more savage review from Miss Gill. Too bad.

*This seems delightfully nuts. When My Name is Earl comes to DVD, Stewie Griffin will be there. Freakn' Sweet as Peter would say.

I'm stoked that you went to the trouble linking to both Hoth and Tatooine. Honour is due!

Hehe, thanks for the link. ;) If I get fired for tardiness, you know Bill's getting a stern letter.
