Mark Messier:

Posted in the lobby, hallways and elevators of my building:
To: All Residents
Please be advised that in an effort to minimize:

Debris scattered throughout the building
Residents being disturbed
The risk of practical jokes being played on children

The management, as in the past, is prohibiting the children from “trick or treating” door to door in the building on Halloween.
Instead, [...]

Apparently my umbrella has had enough of my bullshit and has left me
Asswipe motorists, who normally use the bike lane along Bay Street in downtown Toronto for passing, will cheerfully douse pedestrians and transit passengers along that route by speeding as close to the curb (and therefore puddles) as possible
Sauna-Talkers at my gym feel that [...]

So, there I was, happily sweating my ass off in the cardio section of the gym this morning, and who should appear on CBS Sunday Morning but former Nixon speechwriter, undertalented actor and faux-intellectual homophobe Ben Stein.
He’s still carping about the Mark Foley scandale, but this time he’s not drawing lunatic parallels between homosexuality and [...]

So Champ and I went to Museum of Modern Art in New York City in August of this year. It’s one of my favouritest places in the world though you’d never know it to look at these photos. (And I’ve already thought of all possible “Daddy at Dada at MoMA” jokes, so don’t bother.) I [...]

Seriously, what fresh, blue hell is this?

a nostalgic retrospective on 70s colour-field art?
new, Bush-approved, CIA “information-extraction” method?
a photoillustration accompanying an article on corporate methamphetamine use?
a photoillustration accompanying an article on the soul-corroding loneliness of urban living?

literally, Hell. And blue.
a new, immersive aquarium environment at the Toronto [...]

I’ve been warning y’all about this for months and now it looks like it’s finally coming to fruition. Rotting, festering fruition.
Read it and weep. When will it be strenuously argued that “freedom of religion” explicitly contains the idea “freedom from religion”? In the meantime, contact your Member of Parliament and scream until you can scream [...]

It was with great distress yesterday that I read Dougie Rushkoff’s blog entry concerning Robert Anton Wilson’s current, dire financial straits, so this (first entry in a series) will perhaps be more rushed than (and not as complete as) I’d like.

Robert Anton Wilson’s been an enormous influence on me for over 30 years, starting with [...]

Kenny Chesney:

So, just when you figure you can go about your business without ever having to think about the fuckwits at Primus Canada again, they actively seek you out:

Now, this is amusing on two levels:

Do they not purge malcontents (like me) from their mailing list? and/or…
Is sending me promotional material a passive-aggressive retaliation for my online [...]

(Insert “Agent Orange” joke here)

I honestly don’t quite know where to start with the idiocy that is Ben Stein’s attempt to obfuscate the Mark Foley pedophilia scandal:
The Representative Foley “scandal” is really worthy of a whole book on hypocrisy. On the one hand, we have a poor misguided Republican man who had a romantic thing for young boys. He [...]
