Yargh! In J-School that would count as a Fatal Name Error, and I’d have received a zero. Corrected now. Thanks for dropping by, Denis!

Hey thank you so much – i’m very flattered.

However,

a) Denis not Dennis. The French and Irish spelling, if you will.

and

b) I am a dual citizen. Born NYC, Live TO, Immigrated 1977, Naturalized 1993.

Thanks for the shout out.

I think you’re right – though I haven’t checked his passport, IMDB says he was born in New York, though he’s been working in Toronto for around 15 years. Does that qualify for honorary citizenship? Probably not if there’s conscription.

Anyhow, thanks for pointing that out – I’ve edited that line accordingly.

Isn’t Dennis McGrath an American? Not that there’s anything wrong with that:)

Did that need a ba-doom-ching?

OK, I’ve bookmarked them all. Now to find time to read them all…

Listened to Misener’s piece in which he hires a drummer to accompany him everywhere for a day on the principle that a “ba-doom-ching” at the end of any joke makes it funnier. Great stuff. I see the Yarn Harlot didn’t make it to your list in spite of my enthusiastic assurance that it’s about much more than knitting. What’s WRONG with you, Paul?

I deny being condescending.
