I just poor my cereal into a giant salad bowl and eat until I hate myself, ya know, like everyone does.

(More foreshadowing)  It wasn’t bad enough that Gretzky single handedly ruined my childhood by preventing the Leafs from winning the Stanley Cup in ’92-’93 (because we all TOTALLY know they would have beaten …
