Malt Vinegar Package
Someone at work brought a package of malt vinegar back from lunch. I have never seen malt vinegar in a single serving pouch before. I didn't feel like asking them where they got it. I was just to mystified with the fact that such a convenience exists.
Has anyone seen Mike?
It seems that mike hasn't posted anything in 12 days. I wonder if he may be dead, I really hope he isn't. Do you think maybe he gave up on this idea of blogging our random thoughts. He is moving soon, you think maybe he got his internet disconnected early. That might be it, I sure hope he isn't dead. I mean I could just call him but I don't know if I can handle the news of his death. Man I can't believe mike is dead. He was always a good pal. We will miss you Mike.

PlayStation 5 will probably be as powerful as the human brain
Pretty funny article of the future of computer power. War of the machines cannot be to far away. We will be assimilated.

Just To Clarify.
I feel the need to clarify this point. I don't eat goat. I doubt that Mike eats goat either. I did try moose sausage once, its was quite good until I found out it was moose, then I no longer ate it. I honestly don't eat anything remotely wierd. Have you seen the green Tabasco Sauce. Now this stuff is odd, it has this wierd translucent green quality to it that really turns me off, I don't care how it tastes I'm not eating that. I could go on and on about things I don't eat simply because they are odd. Succotash for example, sure its only corn and green beans, I like beans, I like corn (now I only eat corn in the cob, not off the cob, its too close to cream corn that way), but I could never eat succotash simply because of the name. I can't quite remember where Mike got the name Eat The Goat, I know he used to litter our desks in college with the phrase. I believe it is the name of his fictitious slasher metal band. I could be wrong.

I heard those BX93 girls are real sluts
Some of these guys at work are real hicks. I've never met people my age that like country music, but these guys just love the shit. Songs about 'workin hard' and 'Texas bands'. One kid was telling me about the BX93 parties (that's the local country radio station) where girls get undressed to dance on the pole provided. That sounds very at odds with my concept of the south central Ontario farm life
Jody Dunn is an idiot
"Cabo Wabo tequila is made by Sammy Hagar, guitarist in Van Halen..." I bet this writer just figured the guy named Van Halen must be the singer, so the other notable guy must would be the guitarist.
After the non-confidence vote
As opposed to the generous activity that our leaders have been performing since the Liberal minority government came to be, all of the politicians will take a 'break week' before resuming parliament now that they have passed the budget.

Belinda Stronach
This is really bothering me. When a political candidate runs for office doesn't that person run with a party affiliation. Now I know I vote (or at least plan to vote) for the party more than the individual. This just seems like Mrs Stronach ran under a party that would give her a good chance of winning in her riding and then jumped ship to the party I can only presume she always intended to be with. I think, and please correct me if I'm wrong, that if she is no longer happy with her current affiliation she should have to resign and then run again under the new party.

On the topic of razors
I bought a Mach3 Turbo quite sometime ago. It honestly works well. Thats the not the reason for this snippet today. You see I was shaving one day when all of a sudden the razor leaped from my hands and fell to the floor with a sonic boom. A little plastic piece on the end seprated from the razor chassis that caused the blade to fall off all the time. I devised a system in which I wet a piece of unused tiolet paper and jammed it in with the little piece of plastic and that seemed to work. It still fell out once in awhile but it worked ok. So anyway I decide like 6 months later to call Gillette about my razor. I spoke with a woman at their customer support center and without any proof of purchase or even a barcode from the packaging she decided that she would send me a check for $12US to cover the broken razor. I am still awaiting my check as it has only been like 4 days. I will let you know if it clears.

Walmart - Runnals
Razors: These are expensive and vibrate
Mouthwash: Kills bacteria that cause bad breath
Toothpaste: Like brushing your teeth with milkshakes
Dish soap: I may do dishes from time to time
Peanut Butter Kit Kat bar: This was awesome
Little gum: They last longer in theory, then you eat two.

I feel the need to confese this fact.
I use a shower puff now in the shower. I can't believe I never did. Simply the friction on the puff thingy is reason enough. I don't see how I was getting clean before. Phew, it feels really good to get that off my chest and let the world know.
Now I only wish I could find a black one, maybe with a skull on it.

Casandra's house
I saw this guy wearing a cowboy hat doing traditional Ukrainian dance at the Selinger-some guy buck and do. That was a little odd but strangely beautiful after 20+ jello shooters and beer. Beth bought the rest of the shooters and I must have taken 10-12 in a minute or two. It really was a bad idea because I puked the next morning.

Canadian Tire Guy - The quintessential canadian man
This not mine:
Canadian Tire Guy: "Greetings, Joe! Repairing the deck, I see."
Neighbor: [repressing a sigh] "Yep. Just puttering away, you know."
Canadian Tire Guy: "You know--"
Neighbor: "I don't care, Canadan Tire Guy."
Canadian Tire Guy: [soldiering on regardless] "You know--with my MasterCraft Deck Treatment Pump-Pen, I can waterproof lumber while writing checks and making shopping lists!"
Neighbor: "That's great."
Canadian Tire Guy: "Check out that pressurized nozzle! That's one even spray! The onboard digital clock means I'm never late, and the built-in, handle-mounted thermometer never has me at a loss for the temperature! And look!" [clips pen to shirt] "The titanium grip means I'll never lose it! Thanks, MasterCraft!"
Neighbor: "Uh huh." [cell phone rings] "Hello? What? Oh my god."
Canadian Tire Guy: "Something the matter, Joe?
Neighbor: "I can't talk now, my wife's going into labor!"
Canadian Tire Guy: "Really? You know, my MasterCraft Adjustable Five-Speed Birth Pump can suction a baby out of a uterus in half the time of a hospital! It can be powered by most major car batteries and fits right in the glove compartment! Machine washable? It is! And look!" [clips birth pump to face] "The titanium grip means I'll never lose it! Thanks, MasterCraft!"

Dr. Drugs
Via Slate: Nearly all doctors that were approached by "patients" prescribed the anti-depressant Paxil when the actors described symptoms that were unrelated to the drug but mentioned, "I saw a Paxil ad, and something about it really said something to me." The number dropped to 30% when the ad was not mentioned.
The Year of the Goat guy
This is my correspondence with Karl, the guy from Year of the Goat.
I: Can you send me that picture on your website with the ‘EATGOAT’ license plate? I have a thing called ‘eatthegoat’ Since it's about eating goats and all, it would be an interesting item.
www.blogspot.eatthegoat.com
K: Hi Mike,
I tried to visit your blog at the address, but nothing came up.
Can you check the URL?
thanks,
Karl
Since I gave Karl the right address he hasn't got back to me.

Weather network message fo the day
Someone needs to tell moron Nadine that you can’t have pretty big little hailstones. You can have little or big, you can’t have pretty big little hailstones. Someone should also tell her that she should stop talking to us like we are children, pronouncing every word, like Toronto.
Heres one for the graduates

Win some, lose some
My buddy Rich moved away to learn some french, but Marilyn is back for the time being.
Accounting party
Yes, accountants are as boring as you have imagined. A night spent drinking with an office full of them and I didn't hear a dirty joke or f-shot. Though Christine's 154 bowling score did top them all. And this was the party to celebrate the end of tax time.
