Oh boy, the things kids say because of Trixie. I had two of them today, so I figured they deserved a post. I was walking back after Trixie did her noon business, and a kid was playing with a ball. He stopped and said, “Hi Trixie!” Without even thinking, I answered him and said it …

Something’s Rotten In Denmark
This whole thing makes me sad, and makes me feel like Denmark can’t win with Muslims at all. A TV program in denmark decided to have a Miss Headscarf competition, and muslim women were encouraged to send in videos of themselves sporting the thing. The winner was Huda Falah, an Iraqi woman who moved to …
How Is This Possible?
Exactly how dumb is Evan Ramsey? He claims that he didn’t know, at age 16, that when you shoot someone, they die. I guess he thought videogames were accurate representations of life. So when he opened fire on his Alaska schoolmates and one of them and the principal ceased to move an dlook alive, he …
Our Father, Who Belongeth Not In Government
I was really disappointed to hear about the decision by Dalton McGuinty and the Liberals tokeep the Lord’s Prayer around as part of the day in the Ontario legislature. But if that part disappointed me, what I read next downright made me want to flip my fucking lid. Not only are they keeping the prayer, …

The Town Of What?
I’m surprised this town didn’t make it into the towns mentioned in Steve’s worst town names post. I was looking at the Greyhound site, and stumbled on something that made me do a double take. Among the places in Ontario that the big grey dog stops is a town called Swastika! Noooo! Yup! Still don’t …
Guide Blogs For The Blind
Har har. Aren’t I funny? Probably not. Oh well. First, GDB went and got a podcast. Now, they have a blog! It’s called “no bones about it”, oh har har har har, and I think it will end up being pretty cool. I had to kind of get mad at them about the first post …
Deadly Training
This seems tragic and completely unnecessary. Ian Terry was a police officer, and he was shot to death. Was it while he was on duty? Nope. He was shot by a colleague during a training exercise. Yup. He was pretending to run from a fake crime scene, and they had to stop him. Well, they …
The War On Laughter?
Since when has it become unacceptable to laugh? First we have Chris Cocker, who laughed so hard at a television comedy that he fell off his sofa and disturbed neighbours who called police. Then, because for some reason the police officer wouldn’t leave, Cocker got charged with resisting arrest, got sprayed, and got halled into …
Joe Knows Baseball
My good buddy Marty (who has much better taste in baseball teams thanGreg Twillydoes) clued me in to a funny note about the guy who caught Ken Griffey Jr.’s 600th home run ball. It seems the man, identified only as Joe, did some thinking ahead just in case he happened to be the person lucky …
Dear Greg Twilly, My Bestist Friend Ever
This one’s for you buddy. I figured since you were nice enough to hijack the comments under this post in a pathetic attempt to make yourself feel better about your shitty favourite baseball team, the least I could do was give you a little something in return.Mariners Fire Whiffing Coach Fuck you very much, and …
