Let It Snow…No, Actually, Make It Stop

I think this will probably be the last time I’ll have a chance to write a post before Christmas. It’s snowing, snowing, and snowing some more, but mom and dad are considering driving through it to get home. Interesting. So, hope everyone has a merry Christmas, and enjoys the heap of snow that’s being dumped…pretty …

If You Go Down to Sudan Today, You’re In For A Big Surprise

This is also from the old news department, but I need to blog it before Christmas chaos hits. There is a British teacher who is lucky to escape Sudan with her life. Why? She allowed her 7-year-old students to name a teddy bear Mohammed! But she still says she had a fabulous time in Sudan. …

Commuting Is Better Than It Ever Was, I’m Taking It Easy, When I Take The Bus?

Sorry, I don’t agree. After having to commute by bus for a week while I had a temporary job, I don’t think so. I kept hearing that old jingle for Ottawa’s transit system in my head every morning and thinking that if they picked it up for Guelph, I’d have to shoot someone. Commuting is …

The Not So Jolly Old Elf

Ya Better Watch Out, Ya Better Not..Ask Santa If He Wants Pizza

I know this is old news, but I’m behind, and it’s still funny and creapy. Apparently, Microsoft created a Windows Live ID for Santa that people can add and it asks them what they want for Christmas and such. Supposedly, it is a bot. But it’s a bot with a very dirty mind, as a …

Britain Doesn’t Have Identity Theft. It Has Identity Finders Keepers.

If you thought Britain’s handing disks full of confidential data to a bloke on a bike was bad, then the thought of a bunch of confidential stuff falling off a truck on the side of the road, and 6 similar breaches in the space of two years will make you shit yourself. Yikes. To say …

>Since We’re Not Helping Anybody, You Might As Well Help Yourself

>Maybe it’s just me, but something about the idea ofcops sticking yellow tickets to parked cars that have visible packages inside of themsounds more like crime assistance than prevention.

Trixie’s Frozen Brain

What is with this climate? Now I know why they got fur for my fur. It’s c-c-c-c-c-c-c-cold up here! No wonder the trees fall apart and leave their leaves on the ground. Brrr! And now, the ground is covered in this white stuff. She keeps saying, “This is snow! This is snow!” I finally find …
