Wow. I learned something today. I found out that not even the history of the Canadian flag is safe from complete and utter wimpitude. Don’t believe me? How about this prize quote right here, on the subject of how our new flag was chosen in 1964. The real plus for the maple leaf was its …

Doggy Hodgepodge
I was going to write a heap of small posts, but I decided to smush them together into one big post. So off we go into all things doggy. There’s this goofy little kid who often sits outside on his patio/balcony/something or other near where Trix does her business who really wants to speak to …
Story Time With Steve
Police: Drunk Woman Slept In Neighbor’s Home This story isn’t particularly funny, but posting it is a good excuse to tell one of my own that’s significantly better. In fact it’s one of my favourite stories to tell, but this is going to be my first crack at writing it down so I hope I …
I Feel Worse Than This Post
Plans could change, but right now I’m having my ass handed to me by some kind of cold/flu type thing so I’m not sure how much I’ll wind up posting today. To give you an idea of how bad things are, I had to fix no less than 8 typos in that last sentence, more …
Can You Spell Business Without Bus?
Here I go, ranting again, although I’m not nearly as mad about this as my other posts of today. There’s something that drives me nuts. It’s the answer I get when I ask a business what bus route it’s on, or where the nearest stop is. Nine times out of ten, the answer is simply …
Idiots! Update
Well, here’s the update to the glass-throwing hooligans story. This morning, bright and early, Steve and I headed out to the bank. We were merrily walking up the street, when ker-runch! What did I kick? What did I step in? but glass! Thankfully, it was me who hit it, and not Trixie, but I think …
Idiots!
Grrr. Even though I’m calmer now, I’m still fuming. Fume fume fuming. I took Trixie out for her final business. Just before she did it, I heard a ker smash! Some pea-brained numbnut toolchest asshole decided that it would be jolly good fun to heave a beer bottle from his balcony toward the street. Oh …
Congraduations
I want to take a quick moment to give a big thumbs up to my brother and sister who both graduated this month. My sister from college with all the qualifications one needs to get beaten up by the elderly, and my brother from high school right into a sweet job (see what I did …
Blind Paranoia
This morning, I was struck by how paranoid some blinks are about being robbed. Maybe I’ve just been extremely lucky or something, but I don’t understand this intense fear. I’m on a listserve for people who want to talk about the Talks program, the thing that makes my cellphone talk. I forget how this whole …
Am I Weird For Thinking This Is Funny?
I had this happen to me the other day when I took that big walk, and woohoo, didn’t meet my doom by falling down a giant hole in the street or getting creamed by a Tim Horton’s customer because I mocked God. Anyway, I got to an intersection, and for some reason, it was kinda …
