Who’s more stupid?

Ok, I don’t know why this makes me bristle so much, but here we go.

I was watching the news, and saw something. Some dick has been running around from Tim Hortons to Tim Hortons swiping the Tsunami donation boxes and casually leaving. Ok. But here’s where I start to get mad. First of all, he only goes to Tim Hortons’s. Second, every theft has been caught on video tape! Third, it’s always done the same way. He picks up the box, toddles into the washroom, and off we go. Now I don’t know, I’d think the first time a security tape caught that, I’d be letting my fellow Tim Hortons’s know what happened so a similar fate wouldn’t befall them, and I’d be advising people to chain down the tsunami donation boxes. But this idiot has been doing this for more than a week, and the thefts are being released to the news showing how it’s done. Now there’s something else stupid. If you’re dealing with someone smart, smart enough to not get caught, don’t! release! his! method! He’ll change it and any methods of catching him that you were developing are now fucked.

I don’t know. It’s maddening enough that some asshole can run around stealing donations for people who don’t even have a home, but it’s almost as if the Tim Hortons want this to happen! I mean, if they were serious about this, it wouldn’t have happened at 3 Tim Hortons. All they’d have to do is fasten down the box! Not that hard a concept.

Am I missing something? Did someone else see this story? Am I the only one that thinks this way? Something just doesn’t make any sense about this!

A Few Hundred More People I Feel Sorry For

I thought about doing this on the radio, but that would probably be a bad idea, because I know me.

Mr Little Penis gives up

A Romanian man whose surname means Little Penis has given up trying to change it because of red tape.

Constantin Putica, 45, said he had got fed up with trips to various state offices and constant bureaucratic hassles.

He said: “I have got used to people laughing when they hear my name. I can live with it.”

But Putica is not the only Romanian with an embarrassing surname, local daily Libertatea reported.

According to state records, there are another 243 people with the same surname, 233 people with the surname Muia which means Oral Sex and dozens with the name Caca (Faeces), Cur (Ass) and Coi (Testicle).

The Creepiest Thing I’ve Heard All Year

Dream holiday turns to nightmare

A German professor who went on a dream holiday to Costa Rica woke up in an airport departure lounge to find his leg had been amputated.

The professor said he had gone to see a doctor at a hospital in San Jose because his left foot was swollen.

He said: “An aspirin usually did the trick. I have had the problem before – it was nothing serious – just something caused by my diabetes.

“When I got to the hospital they put me on a bed and I heard the word amputate. I tried to protest, but before I knew it they had given me drugs to black me out, and when I woke up I was at the departure lounge.

“My suitcases were by my side – and then I realised my leg was missing. I couldn’t move, and when I checked my wallet I found that £200 had been taken out and replaced with a receipt for the amputation.

“It was like a bad dream and I could not believe what had happened.”

Professor Ronald Jurisch, 50, from Dessau in Sachsen-Anhalt, said the holiday was booked for him by friends for his birthday as the trip of a lifetime.

After the operation, Prof Jurisch collapsed and was taken to a private clinic where he was diagnosed with blood poisoning.

He said it was four weeks until a special medically equipped plane took him back to Germany where he underwent 23 more operations to try and repair the damage from the amputation.

He is now seeking to take legal action against the hospital in San Jose.

Breaking The Site Again

Carin and I just finished completely overhauling the links section. We added a bunch of stuff and cleaned it up so that it’s much more organized than it used to be. So as usual when things like this happen, we need you to let us know if anything doesn’t work or doesn’t look right. Just leave a comment or email one of us and we’ll do our best to fix it as quickly as we can.

But if everything is working, then have fun checking out all of the new stuff, or the old stuff that you haven’t visited in way too long.

One last thing. If you’re wondering why Karine isn’t listed anymore, it’s because her blog is gone. She deleted it at the end of last year but I never got around to taking her link down. Hopefully she pops up again somewhere soon.

Chilling Thoughts

I don’t know why I find this so scary. But here we go. Off on another strange jog through Carin’s mind.

I had the TV on, and this commercial came on for this new weird thing that some company has that makes air fresheners. Anyway it’s a disk and you put it in this special machine and press a button and it somehow sprays out five different scents, a half hour for each scent.

Ok that doesn’t seem too weird. But here’s where I get kinda freaked out. They call it “scent stories”. And they talk about how they tell you a story with scents. Ok, no. it’s not a story without words, music, or at the very least, pictures. You cannot tell a story with scents, especially not one smell for a half hour. That’s one slow moving story. It would be like me sitting here for a half hour going “Once upon a time, once upon a time, once upon a time, once upon a time…”

I think this is the part where I got freaked out. Someone actually said on the commercial, “I never get bored.” Ok wait a minute. You can sit there and sniff the same thing for a half hour and not get bored? Maybe that smell is going straight to your brain. Maybe it’s not just a smell. Maybe you’d be just as amused by a show about rainforest animals viewed close up with a wide angle lens wearing hats. Ok South Park reference, but I think you get the picture. I just have to wonder, the really evil part of me, whether there’s something else in these scents that we don’t want to know about.

And here’s where it gets really creepy for me. It makes me think of the book “Brave New world”. Anybody remember the feelies? The mindless movies where the people could feel everything..and the scent organs played? And there was more emphasis placed on making the scent organs and the sensations good so the people wouldn’t think? Well now we have scent organs! Aaa!

I don’t seriously think air-freshener companies are out to brainwash us, but it sorta makes me go, what the hell? Am I going nuts? Will they be coming to take me away, ha ha? What do you guys think?

What The…?

I swear sometimes this site has a mind of it’s own.

After I posted my mall burping story I went to make sure that everything published correctly like I always do and I saw the site fixing itself. When I posted earlier the clock must have been messed up because it was about an hour ahead. No big deal, that’s happened before and who really cares if the time is exact anyway? But when I posted the mall thing the time was right and somehow the site realized that my newest post was posted, at least according to the clock, a few minutes before the previous one and it switched them right before my eyes so that they would be right. It’s nice to see the site doing something weird and that something being good for a change.
