There is no better title for this. I will keep my blabber to a minimum, and let our friendly neighbourhood idiot from the previous post speak for himself. I’m going to paste a story from the Guelph Mercury, and, after I’m done convulsing with laughter, I will leave my thoughts in bold. Activist charged with …

Eco-satire?
Does anybody remember my rants about stupid activism? The kind where people just do stuff with no clear sense of why they’re doing it? The kind where nothing productive happens, just a lot of noise and arrests? Well here’s another example, and it makes my head spin from beginning to end. A local activist, Matthew …
What’s with That?
Why, if your mailbox is full, do a lot of ISP’s send you an email to let you know your mailbox is full? That’s the dumbest thing. But tons of them do it. That’s like the postman telling you to check your bulging mailbox by shoving a note in there telling you you might wanna …
Am I a Perv, or are they?
Ok, this question has been bugging me since I heard this song, partly because the song has been in my head and I catch myself humming it and I want to know what I’m humming, and partly because I’m just too damn curious for my own good. Barby sent me this French song called Porteclef, …
Speaking of Subs…
I forgot to write this in the last post, but what in hell is with that voice on the subway commercials? I don’t know who the guy is, but he sounds like he should play a cartoon character. He talks pretty normal through the whole ad, until he gets to the slogan. Then he wigs …
Oh Mister Sub, Sub, Mister Broken Sub, Please Don’t Spill on Me!
Yes, I’m an idiot. But last night’s experience with Mr. Sub just had to be written down. It starts off fairly ordinarily, with a few weird things, but nothing overly bad. I phone, I order a sub. The girl doesn’t seem to know how to take an order down because as I’m giving my address, …

I Want Job Search Help, Not a Babysitter!
I hope this post will serve two purposes: let me vent like mad and help some other poor soul to avoid this shit so they don’t have to vent like mad. So off we go. A little while back, I started updating my resume and looking for work. I have a student debt hanging over …

Go West
Am I the only one who when they hear the song “King Of Wishful Thinking” by Go West can’t help but to sing “King Of Rip Van Winkle”? Ya… ? Alright. Just checking.
Nooo! I don’t have the wrong number! Give me Bob!
Here I go again, babbling about wrong numbers. No, it’s not about what we say when someone else gets a wrong number, or people not listening to answering machines in people’s homes. This one happens very rarely, but it happens. I volunteer at a Distress line, a phone line that people phone when they’re upset, …

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 …
