Who gave it permission to drop to 11 degrees outside in the middle of August? I realize I shouldn’t complain since in a few short months it’s going to be -11 and I’ll be longing for mornings like this here shitty one, but still, going from 30 and air so thick you could eat it …

And Now For Something No One Asked For
Hello, Friends; Matt is back…. even though absolutely no one requested it. I should explain my absence over the last oh….. 3 years or so. You see, my plan was to leave the VC for a while and have all my wildly dedicated fans get to the point where they missed me so much that …
O Canada!
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 …
