    What does your surname mean?

    Surname: Moysey Recorded in many spellings as shown below, this is an English surname of ultimately in a sense Egyptian origin. First introduced into Europe during the famous Crusades to free the Holy Land in the 12th century, it derives from the biblical name Moses, which perhaps surprisingly is properly the Egyptian name Moshe. It was as Moshe that the Israelite leader in the Book of Exodus, led the tribe out of Egypt, and across the Red Sea to Palestine. Very early in history the name acquired a folk etymology, being taken as a derivative of the Hebrew root "msh", meaning to draw (something) from the water, and a reference to the infant Moshe being discovered among the bull rushes by Pharaoh's daughter. In the modern idiom the surname is spelt as Moyes, Moyses, Moyes, Moise, Moys, Moss and the diminutives Moisey and Moysey. Early examples of recordings include Gaufridus filius Moyses in the Curia Regis rolls of Norfolk in the year 1210, whilst Moys de Bilham was mentioned in the Pipe Rolls of Yorkshire in 1230, and William Moyse in the Hundred Rolls of landowners of Essex in 1274. One Susanna Moysey was recorded in the registers of St. Michael's in the Barbados. She was buried there on September 1st 1678. A coat of arms associated with the name has the blazon of an ermine shield charged with a red cross calvary between three gold grices. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Elyas Moyses. This was dated 1198, in the "Pipe Rolls of Yorkshire", during the reign of King William 11, known as "Rufus", 1187 - 1100. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was sometimes known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

    I don't really get putting Kyle Wellwood on waivers, but whatever.

    Without a Trace I really need some drama, and this is one of my favourites from the past few years. The first few seasons are better than the last couple, but it's still pretty good.

    The Love Guru

    More things I didn't like about the movie: -Why are there little kids having a birthday party in a bar? -Having the Guru's name be 'Maurice', just so they can sing The Joker at the end. -All the dumb, unrealistic hockey stuff (calling timeout in the middle of the play? Come on.). -Jim Gaffigan (who I love) using a dumb 'announcer' voice during all his scenes. At least Colbert uses his normal voice, but even he's not immune to dumb penis jokes. -The Kanye West cameo is dumb, there was a lot more they could have done with that other than having him yell 'I love hockey!' Really, the only good things in this are a few Timberlake moments, the Wayne's World thing, and the animated team logos during the hockey games. Oh, and Aunt Rachel from Family Matters. I couldn't even get into the Leafs Cup winning stuff, which was the only reason I wanted to see it. I figured they would have made it into a bigger deal in the movie. There was some girl sitting right behind me who was laughing way too hard all through the movie, which probably made me dislike it even more.

    The Love Guru

    They're driving in a car, fighting over what music to listen to, Myers switches the station and Bohemian Rhapsody comes, looks at the camera and shrugs, then changes the station.

    The Love Guru

    You'd think someone who likes hockey would make the hockey scenes more realistic. This was pretty bad, the only thing that was really funny was the Wayne's World reference (I did like Timberlake dancing to Celine Dion in the club a bit, though). I don't get Mike Myers' obsession with penises.

    Desert Island Draft

    Happy Days I just like watching this show go from pretty funny look back at the '50s into bizarre plotlines where Fonzie's basically a superhero. I also like the later seasons, where Potsie's still hanging around, even though there's no reason for him to be there. Poor guy wasn't even in the series finale.

    Wayne's World I also need some comedy, so I'm taking one of my favourites since I was a kid.

    I was kind of hoping that they'd pick someone else there, just for the reaction on TV.

    I think Cito is the first ex-Jays manager to get another job since Jimy Williams.

    Haha, Cito Gaston. Oh man, you think maybe there's a reason he hasn't gotten another manager's job in 10 years?

    Not having Frank Thomas isn't the problem for the Jays. They'd have maybe won an extra game or two if he was still there. And Reed Johnson probably wouldn't have gotten you any more than an extra bullpen arm. Every hitter on this team sucks this year. You can fire the GM or the manager or whoever, but I don't see what that's going to do, really.

    Jeopardy! Been on for years, so it has more than 8000 episodes. More than enough to keep me occupied.

    All in the Family I've seen maybe a third of the episodes (if that, even), so why not use my time on a desert island to catch-up with an all-time classic?

    This is dumb. Why does anyone take anything Hank Steinbrenner says seriously in the first place, let alone when he's pissed off that his best pitcher just got hurt? This should be a complete non-issue.
