Even I’m not *this* lazy.
Only in England does something like this come up. And, only in Canada does it actually make headlines. And, only on this blog will it be mocked. A 23-year-old from London, while walking his dog, decided just because the dog wanted a walk doesn’t mean he had to. London’s legal … Read the rest

On why olympic protesters are morons.
I get that not everyone’s going to agree with the olympics. I get that there’s probably not going to be anything short of a small miracle that’ll change their mind. And I get that even if their mind changed, they’d more than likely still insist the olympics be paid for … Read the rest

If you thought old age security was bad before, do not read this.
A 67-year-old guy, supposedly receiving old age benefits in Calgary, Alberta, has apparently made an attempt to rob a bank. Armed with, of all things, a fork. Clearly, someone should be talking to our government about maybe increasing how much he’s getting paid from the Canada Pension Plan. He … Read the rest

Hey, DH? You sold me already.
I don’t get a chance to check my email very often while I’m over at my parents’ place, where I’ve been since yesterday. But, I did get a chance to check it tonight. And this little surprise, from they who host this blog, was waiting for me. Now, keep in … Read the rest

Officially the longest day trip in history.
There’s a very good, and very logical, reason why it is I never bother to do something as simple as make plans. Something almost always manages to show up to make things work significantly less than well. Like two days ago for example. The original plan, that is the plan … Read the rest

Let’s have this conversation again. Not.
Sometimes, my mother and I have the strangest and most irritating conversations known to man. We had one such conversation that left me very much scratching my head in all sorts of confusion during a coffee run that got cut short yesterday morning. Within walking distance of my apartment, there’s … Read the rest

Sadly, someone out there probably just bought this email.
Equally sadly, whoever created it is probably hoping some stupid sysadmin will get a hold of it and actually believe it. Surprisingly, there are sysadmins out there who’re that stupid–I did tech support for a few of them. From: spam@email.address.removed Date: Sat 02/01/2010 10:01 AM To: my@email.address.removed Subject: WEBMAIL UPGRADE… Read the rest

Give me back my XBox! I’m calling the police!
How many times have you heard this scenario? Kid does something stupid/irresponsible/that the parents simply have told him not to do, parents get pissed off, and decide to revoke some privelege or another. Kid threatens to call the police. In my family growing up, there was always a snarky response … Read the rest

No, I’m not. Would you like me to?
On our way back to Canada before Christmas, we did stumble across the required small amount of duh-worthy amusement that seems to find one or both of us on every trip. This in the form of an overly inquisitive and way too curious customs officer who decided, after establishing that … Read the rest

I’m eating these chips to stay healthy.
If things get approved within the halls of Health Canada, I have a suspicious feeling we’ll be hearing a lot of folks saying that. And they actually won’t be bullshitting this time. Health Canada’s considering making it mandatory that anti-cancer drugs, assuming those even exist in the first place, be … Read the rest
