Also got this from Amanda. Carlos Palomino is compiling a list of sorts of misconceptions he’s had to deal with to do with having a guide dog. Here’s the beginnings of it. I can’t believe that tons of people think they have to pick up the crap with their bare hands! Seriously? I always knew …

Party-Crasher
Thanks Amanda for this one. Anthony Washington just wasn’t getting into the playboy mansion. He should have realized that when security turned him away. But oh he was going to try again. So he climbed a tree…and fell to his death. It sounds like the branch he stood on just wasn’t strong enough to hold …
Beer Safety Seat?
Thanks Ann for this one. A long time ago, I wrote about a woman not buckling in her kid, but strapping in her beer. Now we have Larry Garza and company strapping cases of beer into two child seats, but holding the kids in their laps. Wow. Talk about priorities.
Turmel Turmoil
Carin posted sometruly amazing videothe other night of the great John Turmel campaigning during his run for Mayor of Brantford this year. Go watch that again, I’ll wait and you’ll thank me for making you. By the way, I think “Jiu-Jitsu John’s gonna kick you in the nuts” may get my vote for line of …
Letters From Mom
I’m not sure if there’s less going on where my mom works or if she’s just not paying attention to the stuff that is, but over the last couple of weeks she’s taken to emailing my brother and I the most ridiculously dumb jokes while she’s there. Nobody else gets them, just us. And you …
Not Everybody’s As Cool As Guelph
Wow! While I was busy raving about how awesome our voting process was, Jen, who often sends us ideas and stuff was having one hell of a horrible experience while voting in Hamilton’s municipal election. Here is what she said happened to her. Well in the first place they didn’t have the accessible machines available …
At US Airways, It’s Every Man For Himself
Thanks, Jen, for the lead on this one. So, we have learned that United breaks guitars and US Airways breaks spirits. Johnnie Tuitel, a motivational speaker with CP, was flying to one of his speaking engagements when he was told by a gate agent at US Airways that he could not fly alone because he …

Rob Mask’s Memorial In Fergus
Edit: It’s in Fergus, not Elora. Damn me for not googling first. I heard it would be in Elora, so I thought this place was there. Apparently not. I know the towns are close, but close doesn’t cut it if you’re lost. Remember back when I posted Robert Mask’s obituary and we didn’t know when …
Trapped Wolf
On the border of Russia and Poland there’s a small forest. Half of the forest belongs to a Russian farmer, while the other half belongs to a Polish man. One day, while out for a walk in the woods, the Russian man comes across a wolf caught in a trap. He rushes back to his …
