So um… where’s the problem?
Aboriginal bands have taken up arms against the almighty coffee chain for an admitedly stupid prank/joke thing pulled by one of its staff in an Alberta restaurant. Namely, taping a sign to the drive through window that said “No drunken indians allowed.”. Now, being part indian, and a *huge* fan … Read the rest

Today is official stupid people day.
Lady on oxygen dies after power to her house is cut? Are people really that stupid? And, as if that wasn’t stupidity in and of itself, the idiot who turned off this lady’s power apparently saw the breathing machine she was using. She died within 2 hours of the power … Read the rest

Hang on a minute. People… actually do that?
I’ve heard a hell of a lot of stupid crap lately, but… um, this takes the freaking cake. I’m sorry, but… a water pipe? A freaking water pipe? I understand it’s an African idea/tradition/whatever, but… a water pipe? Really, that’s gotta come close to people who find new ways to … Read the rest

When me and Trish decided on the weekend gas would hit $2 by summer’s end, I wasn’t actually being serious. Well, okay, so I’m hardly ever being serious. But apparently someone thought I was making an exception. Oh. My. Freaking. Lord. Thank the gods I don’t drive. When I checked … Read the rest

Hello, legal quicksand.
And people wonder why I have an interest in law. Tech Crunch, who I read more for the snark than the news about startup businesses/websites, is getting slapped with a DMCA takedown notice for an article it posted yesterday about the CEO of rivals.com, a sports website. Specificly, the common … Read the rest

There’s a whole hell of a lot to update yall on, and I have no idea when my next call’s coming in, so let’s see how much I can cram into a small piece of downtime. ***************** I never noticed teenagers were quite that whiny when I was one. And, … Read the rest

I feel so devalued right now.
Apparently, by 2010 I could be making about as much as that moron at Tim Horton’s who, after taking your coffee order for the fifth time, still gives you the wrong one–I live in Ottawa. There are a *lot* of those. That’s the plan, anyway, according to our oh so … Read the rest
