    The Round Bus

    It has been a tough week here at The Barnstormer. Besides the external chaos of the fragile world we live in, internally our locked-out NHLer Cheap Throat made his last diary entry for us, after 90 days of globetrotting and truth-dropping. And still no hockey. Oh well, there’s whiskey and late nights, still. Gary...

    The Round Bus

    Well, it’s winter. There’s no turning back now. Fat drunk men in beards are everywhere. And Santa, too. Life carries on without hockey, or at least the NHL. The Canadian pucks media is currently distracted by teenage boys getting ready to beat up on Europeans. It would be a fascinating 3rd-year Psych paper, if...

    The Round Bus

    A brief snapshot of Canada as of this writing: the long, cold, brutal winter is en route (except for those in Vancouver, and that ain’t really Canada), our governments at all levels are either incompetent, corrupt, crazy, or evil, and it looks like we’ll finish up 2012 with no NHL. This may be the...

    The Round Bus

    How was everyone’s week? We had a good one here at the Barn, filled with a venomous disdain for the NHL, NHLPA, the Conservative government, and, well, that’s enough disdain.    A quick note: You may have noticed that we now have ads on The Barnstormer. Our goal for early 2013 is to offer compensation...

    The Round Bus

    It’s CFL’s 100th Grey Cup Week, which means horses run through hotels, Saskatchewanians board a fleet of Greyhound busses bound for the big(gest) city, and casual CFL fans cover themselves in synthetic cheese and watch their one game of the year. The  Argonauts of Toronto will entertain the Stampeders of Calgary, in what could...

    The Round Bus

    So, how was everybody’s week? The Barn was a rockin’, but y’all kept knockin’, and we can’t thank you enough. Before we get to this week’s Round Bus, the sports world’s premier roundtable discussion and cocktail lounge, we’d like to announce the winner of last week’s giveaway with Coach House Books of Dave McGimpsey’s...
