Today’s post is just a mishmash of potpourri. First, the title — taken from a question asked at the beginning of today’s Roundup. I think that a brouhaha is bigger than a foofaraw. A Brouhaha is a definate event, like the nasty cousin of a Hullabaloo, but a foofaraw is a state that just one person could be in. I suppose that a certain foofaraw could spread to so many people that it out-sizes a brouhaha, but that would be the exception, not the rule.

Speaking of CBC radio… I can now listen to CBC Thunder Bay online! Woo-hoo! Oh, and for what it’s worth, I’m enjoying the Roundup much more now that Bill is gone. No love lost there.

Doug tells me that I should be telling all of you that Jenn and I have been activly persuing a new hobby. Visiting model homes on the weekend. We’ve been to at least one model home each weekend for the past six or seven weeks. Even when we were in London a weekend back, we went to an open house. It’s not that we’re looking to buy one — in fact, we never want to have a house built just like these suburban sprawl homes — but we are getting lots of ideas of what we like and what we dislike in homes. We’ve even drawn up some plans.

Next, I want to float my idea for a “Simpsons: Best Episode Ever” discussion. But before I try to engage you all in discussion, I want to set up a forum or something. Just so it can be done right. And for the record, Jerome the Giraffe wins CBC’s contest for The Greatest Canadian: Who Never Was.
