1. A front-of-book charticle about strange sports fan traditions. My girlfriend thinks it’s funny. Grab it here (PDF).
2. A words and pictures piece where I spent an evening at one of the world’s bloodiest wrestling events. This piece features some great photography with an intro and extended cutlines written by me. This annual event, put on by Montreal’s International Wrestling Syndicate, allows fans to bring any weapon they want and the wrestlers will use it in the ring. It’s a bloody mess of glass, tacks, wood, steel, and home appliances. See for yourself here (PDF).

The Pits of Hell (May 2005)
This is a humorous, informative health feature about my personal experience with sweat. Hyperhidrosis, excessive sweating, is a condition that affects 3 percent of the population. One of the latest treatments is Botox. (Yes, that Botox.) I went to see one of Canada’s leading sweat doctors to see if I am one of the lucky 3 percent.

In The Company of Men (September 2004)
One night I found myself sitting in a circle of men as we shared our feelings, problems, and a little bit of gas. In this piece I was one of three writers sent to visit male bonding groups across the country. I went to a Mankind meeting in Montreal. It was an overwhelming experience. You’ll have to read it for yourself.

Sportscaster Showdown (November 2004)
This is what we in the biz call a "charticle" — a quick, funny front of book piece with information contained in chart form. I compared TSN to its French language counterpart, RDS.
