About David Menzies

David "The Menzoid" Menzies is a mild-mannered reporter who also happens to be an unapologetic, politically incorrect blowhard. Frequently smiling and chuckling, his sunny disposition has nothing to do with a head injury suffered in childhood. Over the course of his career as a writer, editor and broadcaster, The Menzoid has made many astonishing claims - some of which are true. For example, he did in fact ride a ferocious bull for two-and-a-half seconds at the Smoky Lake Rodeo in Alberta (and he did indeed end up in the Smoky Lake hospital after the bull proceeded to gore The Menzoid like a piece of pork souvlaki.) Meanwhile, other claims of bravado are semi-true: For example, The Menzoid was adamant that he was the first-round draft pick for the L.A. Kings in 1980. Upon investigation, it turns out The Menzoid was indeed drafted by the Lawrence Avenue Kings not the Los Angeles Kings. Favourite things in life include cycling without a helmet (just to spite Ontario Premier Dalton "Daddy" Mugabe) and consuming Maynard's Wine Gums (even though The Menzoid deplores the Nanny State warning on the package: "Contains No Wine.") Pet peeves of The Menzoid included traffic circles that are festooned with stop signs; people in Tim Horton lines that fail to make up their minds; Earth Hour; and just about every incarnation of the Vancouver Canucks uniform.
