Comedy gold

Here's one more reason that I love Corner Gas:
Hank, thinking he's psychic*, tries to explain the disturbing dream he had the night before.
Hank: I just, I woke up with this uneasy feeling.
Brent: You ate cotton candy and pepperoni for supper last night. It's a wonder you woke up at all.

Viking kitties

So I've been working in my basement for the last few weeks. This means I've been listening to rather more radio than I usually do.
There are two music stations in town that I like, and in the car I'll switch back and forth quite happily between "Local Town's Best Rock" and the college station. [...]

She bristled at the name. "Robin? Don't even— Don't even talk to me about that little suckup. Don't even mention his name. Seriously." Rolling her eyes: "He spent like two days on the phones, then got promoted. Now I hear he does fieldwork. [...]

Election funnies

So there's a provincial election coming up. The incumbent party, the New Democrats, have decided to use "Forward, Not Back" as a slogan in this election:

Which makes me wonder if no one—no one—in their entire campaign apparatus has seen the Simpsons episode where Kang and Kodos run for election on Earth:

I mean, really. [...]

Shakespeare's Birthday

This was the front of our wedding invitations:

…Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
O no! It is an ever-fixèd mark,
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, though his height be taken.
In case you're worried that I [...]

Drunk I got. Remember nothing after making out with Charlene on the dance floor do I. Ashamed I should be, think I.
But not as bad as they say is waking up in a ditch. Worse, it is.

Remains of Earth Day

So yesterday there were a bunch of people on campus, celebrating Earth Day. Today there was a sculpture left behind, and I can't honestly tell if there's a statement being made by the sculpture or not. It looks to my non-connoisseur's eye like someone threw a bunch of small objects and bits of [...]

Just me, wearing my new T-shirt.
My bro-in-law exposed his sons to the Original Trilogy, and ever since then they've been deeply into the Star Wars phenomenon.
I actually was at their place when they watched Star Wars (you know, A New Hope). I was away the next day, when [...]

Frightening

I have GMail. I use GMail a lot. GMail has some built-in spam filters. It's rare, in fact, that an email makes it to my inbox offering to enhance or expand my body parts, or give me 10% of the Crown Prince of Nigeria's money transfers, or anything of the like.
Every once [...]
