We, as a people, have now reached the point where we feel it necessary tocut the smoking scenes out of classic cartoons to prevent children from being exposed to unacceptable negative messages. If you just read that and either A don’t see a problem with it or B think it’s a good idea, I’d like …

Snakes on a Plane
You’ve gotta be kidding me. We’ve sunk to this level? This is all we can come up with to scare people these days? Absolutely brutal. And what an original title. “Hey what’s your new movie about, Mr Jackson?” “some snakes on a plane.” “Wow sounds interesting – what’s it called?” “Snakes on a Plane”. Just …
Man Do I Ever Hate The Media
So yesterday the news networks were in full vulture mode over more terror related flight news. Sort of. Round the clock coverage with BREAKING NEWS updates and all kinds of shit to scare the hell out of the world. At some point yesterday somehow news broke that a plane from England bound for Washington DC …
The Warbling Whore is Gone!
I can explain I can explain. I know at least one person besides Steve and I will know what I’m talking about. Have you ever fallen asleep with CTV on and been awakened with a horrible start by this horrible singing at 6 a.m. Something about…if the sun, doesn’t shine, to mo rooooo? I can’t …
It’s Not Their Job!
Ok, time to vent a little. I just finished reading an article in which members of the RCMP as well as B.C.’s Solicitor-General John Les slammed the makers of the new movie “The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift” for making a film that glorifies illegal street racing. They say that the movie’s producers are …
Just Another Manic… Tuesday
Greeting & Salutations I trust you all enjoyed your long weekend. Where I was, just like most of Ontario, it was bitterly cold for the unofficial “Start Of Summer”. We scrapped the cottaging/camping ideas for much better ones of staying home on the couch. I had a friend in from out of town whom I …
From the Thought Pot
I just felt like posting, so here I am. I don’t even know what’ll end up in this one, so off we go. I think I can safely say the apartment hunt is over! In describing the adventure we’ve gone through to find a new place, Steve mentioned a kind of building called the miracle …
Ich Bin Ein Gummi Bear
For some reason Carin and I got talking about the Gummi Bears today and it made me think back to a few years ago and the time I randomly heard the German version of their theme song. I’d only ever heard it once and I’d always wanted to hear it again because well, to me …
No News Is Top News
We’ve got Canadian tourists being murdered by professional hitmen in Mexico. We’ve got buildings falling down and killing people. We’ve got what could be the largest bank robbery in British history. We’ve got earthquakes, shootings and city-wide strikes that are shutting down important services in some places. We’ve got lots of things that I’m sure …
And I Thought Springer Was Bad!
My god, TV is just filling up with this crap. It shouldn’t surprise me. Nothing should surprise me anymore. But for some reason, this show did. I had the TV on in the background, and this show called Cheaters came on. Basically, the premise is people who suspect their significant other is cheating contact the …
