The Onion Reveals the Truth

Roy Halladay doesn't really exist

There is line after line of gold in that article.

GET OUT OF MY HEAD!

xkcd undoubtedly has a probe attached directly to some part of my brain and uses the feed to come up with comics.



I have this EXACT dream (or the one where it's a final exam instead of a project) at least twice a year... and I graduated nearly 9 years ago. They're also inevitably just before I would be going back to school... if I was still there.

Yes, that is my recurring nightmare.

Friday Flotsam

Nobody told ME Julius Goat was going to be on BDR on Wednesday. I would have listened! Umm.. I mean, while I obviously WAS listening, I wouldn't have turned down the volume during that segment when I smelled something funny.... yah, that's it.

Eh-Vegas is.... TODAY! Let's say the official kickoff is in... like... I dunno... 8 or 9 hours? Sure, why not. No idea what the plans are other than at some point tomorrow we'll be at Kat's playing poker and drinking and snacking and laughing and totally not calling up every stripper in the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) to come party with us. I imagine there will be food and drink tonight... I'm hoping it's downtown so I can stumble home from wherever it is. Niagara on Sunday? Huh? Huh? I gots me a jones for casino action.

Fuck! I just realized I'll be in Whistler during Goat's BBmT! Well, I'll be done with the slopes by the time it kicks off, and I'll have my laptop... network access is another question. No, I can't commit. Even though that would be the ultimate in bad management. I mean, I'm visiting my brother, and that's the last night I'm there. Stupid Gregorian Monks and their calendars.

Sometimes (okay, most of the time), XKCD nails it. I wonder if it works with the Candyman too...

Speaking of funny - Dimetri Martin? Hilariously low-key. This kid could be something. If nothing else, he gave the world the proper answer to the question "Are you ticklish?"

Great Daily Show last night - entire show dedicated to Jim Cramer... Stewart did his usual slow build to destroying someone. People go on this show figuring he's the funny guy, but he's possibly the most dangerous interviewer on TV when he wants to be.

Powered speakers at my desk? Oh, that's dangerous for a professional environment.

Something to Talk About

THREE (3) (III) DAYS UNTIL VEGAS!

And I imagine that our intrepid reporter-friends that will be in attendance will be inundated with questions about their Mexican (pronounced Meh-HI-kan) adventure.

Go read Pauly (like you need a link) for the story. Just nutty.

I have a very simple plan in Vegas - win lots, because everything I win is worth 30% more. Of course, everything I lose is 30% worse, so therefore I can't go and lose now, can I? Stupid commodity-based economy.

Oh, and if you're in the US and didn't catch Saturday Night Live - go watch this. Now. Unless you're at work... then maybe watch it later.

The Band

Ah economic humour...



You know what I like? The Band is Canadian (except Levon Helm).

Really?

I could write another multi-page post on satire, and how brilliant the latest New Yorker cover is... or I could just send you here.

If only Jonathan Swift were around today...

Love It

And people are upset at George Lucas. What about HISTORIANS?

Damn skippy

I guess it's not fair to link to the image without linking to the source.
