HOMETOWN BREAKDOWN: 2 WILD 'N' CRAZY GUYS SHARE THE HEADLINES

Not much time here for a full post, so here's a couple followups about two wild 'n' crazy guys that gravitated toward my hometown, Kingston, and shared the headlines on consecutive days in early August. Now they're together again -- in the news, at the same time.

BUFFY THE ALLEGED HOMEWRECKER: HEY, DO THEY HAVE ICE DANCE IN HELL? (Aug. 8)
Our man Lloyd Eisler ... you all remember Lloyd, he's the two-time Olympic ice dance medal winner who left his spouse, Marcia O'Brien, high and dry with two baby boys to run off with his celebrity skating partner, actress Kristy Swanson, star of such high-minded cinema as The Chase and 8 Heads In A Duffel Bag.

Now Skate Canada has suspended the last of the romantics, from coaching this year. Who knows why. There's probably backroom political stuff that no one outside of the cloistered skating world cares about. (They don't fire people for "moral turpitude" much anymore, since everyone's cousin is a lawyer these days.)

Still, given what we know about Lloyd's lack of commitment to the spouse and family he already had, it sort of looks good on him, don't you think?

ROGUE AGENT GETTING A FROSTY RECEPTION IN MY HOMETOWN (Aug. 9)

Yeah, it was quite the little coup two months ago to find out that former NHL player agent David Frost (agent of the imprisoned Mike Danton) had been spotted in downtown K-town hanging around a newly opened juice bar.

Some upset locals were vowing not to give the place their business. This was two weeks before Frost was charged with a dozen counts of sexual exploitation, by the way.

Maybe those threats not to go there didn't make one difference one way or the other, but The Whig reports today that the Juice Nightclub and Eatery has been padlocked for being $32,000 Cdn behind on its rent. The location, 172 Ontario St., is considered to be one of the worst locations in town. It probably isn't going to get any better.

Frost's spouse ran Juice and the degree of his involvement wasn't unclear. Then again, he seemed to be spending an awful lot of time around the Junior A Pembroke Lumber Kings last winter when he wasn't the coach or general manager.

According to what one reader who coaches hockey told me two months ago, Frost considered his duties in Pembroke to include leaning out from the press box to spit or spray water at the players on the visiting-team bench directly below him. You don't say.
