It Came From the Internet
She was on CBC radio yesterday and said she reviews every single restaurant in town...it's a small town, so KFC gets a review, the Truck Stop Restaurant out on Highway 7 gets a review...it's cute.Even that crass author Anthony Bourdain tweeted about it...what an crass ass.

Or dwarf tossing.
Roller Derby seems to be getting big here...either that or someone I work with is moonlighting as a rollergirl b/c there are constantly posters up in the kitchen at work advertising their 'jams'. By 'jam' I mean middle aged women with suggestive names rolling around a ring giving each other bruises and black eyes.But, pillow fighting seems nicer in a way does't it? I picture two college girls in their skimpy pjs hitting each other with pillows...I must stop.
This is not to scold, but people have been seriously
injured and killed by people throwing them for sport. I'm not referring to Roller Derby.

I'm going to sit in the corner for a while.

"He explained to me, quite sincerely, he had been hanging curtains naked in he kitchen when he fell backwards on to the kitchen table and on to a potato," said Sheffield, England A&E nurse Trudi Watson. "But it's not for me to question his story."
That's much less embarrassing than any other possible explanation...

Well thank you ever so much for sharing that. Now I'll never be able to look at a potato without thinking about where it's been...
Tom, potatoes are grown in soil and manure... They've been covered in shit since they were planted...
This is one of my personal favorites. It appeals on so many different levels :)http://twilightlawnsplc.co.uk/
Couple of good DIY projects. What are you doing this weekend?How about extracting ink from a squid? You could use it to write a letter to your Grandmother? http://blog.makezine.com/2012/03/29/h...
Maybe making a Death Star Pinata? Try and use The Force instead of a broomstick to break this one open. http://starwars.com/play/online-activ...

the story of Sarahs Folly is brilliant...
No offense to any FarmVille lovers, but...what do you folks DO out there with the cows and chickens and SHEEP and all that? (Here's a funny rant: http://jsharrison22855.blogspot.com/2...)

We Canadians are wild ones...you should come visit our country and check out our Museums. Here is the latest exhibit at the Museum of Science & Tech http://www.sciencetech.technomuses.ca...Not sure how this fits in with science and tech? We went there last year and I recall exhibits on sno-mobiles, telephones, star trek and hockey masks.

I think its brilliant. Its better than the usual way people have their dead animals stuffed, and far better than the most common thing people do with dead pets, which is to have the vet dispose of them.
What does one do with a flying squirrel?
Is that a common thing to do over there in the UK?We have little pet cemeteries over here.
The guy in the story is dutch, I think. We have pet cemetaries over here too, but generally they're pricey, so many dead pets are disposed of by the vet, or buried in back gardens.And a new it came from the internet post:

When we had a cat put down the cheapest thing was the pet cemetary...I guess there is a local who donates their land and mows the grass.That might be a good topic for a humour book?

this is one of the things that bothers me about militant vegans thinking everyone should be vegan. It would create even more populations like this where food costs a fortune, and where they are beholden to other nations for the basics. Thankfully, militant vegans won't ever get their way because its unsustainable.
I loved how the reporting was taken a bit too far - it would be like comparing food prices in Antarctica or some other very very remote place.Just so you know, in my part of Canada I might pay $1 or $2 (maybe even $1 or $2 / lb) for a cabbage ... not $27!!
This could only happen in Canada...Thieves take millions of dollars worth of maple syrup!http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montrea...

Finally, http://news.yahoo.com/abba-museum-ope...I'm crossing my fingers for an additional wing to the museum dedicated to Ace Of Base! http://www.youtube.com/artist/ace_of_...
Love the Swedes!
I always wondered where sporks came from... ;-D
I really don't recall doing this. Or, indeed, looking like this. And my middle name isn't McMuffin. So on the whole, it looks as if this isn't me. That's a bit of a relief.

And yet you gave us 'Frasier', 'Friends' and 'The Big Bang Theory'. That's entertainment by anyone's standards.
Mod
I'm pretty sure we can take full credit for 'The Sopranos', though.
Yeah, you need to be sober when you're geeing up that donkey and cart.

But a drunk Jesus would be pretty wild. He'd wake up dressed only in a pair of sandals, surrounded by fish and slices of bread, saying "Dude, did I really try to shove a camel through the eye of a needle?"
