Bands That Sell Out

When bands sell out are they really selling out? I was talking with a friend last night about this whole issue when a greenday video came on. We came to an agreement that this saying was created by bands that sucked, you know they dont suck though they just blame it on the bad equipement. Anyway we decided that selling out is really just getting the job, so next time a small independent band makes it big dont say they sold out say they got the job.

Where is RPD?

Currently without web access. RPD has been missing, stealing sometime at a friends house he simply comes to say hello. He also wonders why funkbh is telling us about walmart shopping sprees. You would think with Walmart being common place he would not shop there. Also for the fact that they have drivin most of the mom and pop stores out of business and you can no longer get services from someone you know and trust.

Moving Day

I'm moving on Saturday to a new place. I think I'm going to have to learn how to swim cause there is a pool on the 3rd floor. I actually will have a full size fridge, and a dishwasher, and a washer/dryer, and a clean stove. I'm pretty excited.

AZ little of WalMart

I have been doing a little more shopping at Walmart in the last few months. Here are some highlights.

Mess Set - $3.00. This set included 4 pots, measuring cup and a handle. All aluminum one piece construction. And I could clean it easily enough to use it again.

You have got to wonder what happened to get this in my camping bag for $3.00. I mean, I can see the physical characteristics of it. But someone had to move it through the production line, pack it and label it. Somehow it got from China to Ontario by ship, train and truck. And I purchased it at a price that Walmart profited from. It wasn't a loss-leader or opening price point item.


Rubbermaid storage containers, various sizes - From $4.77 to $12.86. Some may remember Rubbermaid (i don't) as a North American corporation that sold a great product and employed many people. More may remember the pressure that Walmart put on them to slash costs and move operations overseas, nearly bankrupting the once pround Fortune 500 company.

Bag of fun - $8.00 Contents include; 1 flying disk (a middlebrow frisbee) , set of velcro mitts and ball, water splat football, wiffleball set and a beachball.

The frisbee actually flew very true. I liked the action as much as Pat's authentic frisbee. The velcro mitts kept on stickin. The Splat Football and Beachball did thier job, which isn't much really. My issues were with the wiffleball set. The race on thehandles wasn't wide enough to fit the ball. Oh yeah, it had a handy zippered mesh carrying case.

Coleman cooler with bonus set - $19.99 Well, the bonus set was nice.

Comment on an addition of weather news about a month ago. About people and the exposure to the suns UV rays that can cause cancer, or maybe it was about pets. It was mentioned on TWN that pets have no protection against the suns damaging rays. I would like to say my neighbour, shes a little eccentric, the last few years she is not very friendly, Im not on speaking terms with her, its ever since she became and unwed single mother she hates men, so she doesnt talk to me. Shes got this brown dog, its either a rotweiller or a lab, I swear to you this is true, I think shes trying to protect her dog from the suns harmful rays. It looks like shes fastened a Lampshade to her dogs head if you can believe it; she lives about 3 houses away. I dont know if thats what it is or the purpose of it because I can no longer talk to her, she hates men now. I saw this dog walking around with a Lampshade on its head; you can investigate this if you want.

Breaking News

So Im watching my morning news show Breakfast Television. There was a very uninteresting news serial about potato bugs. Then all of a sudden they cut in with a breaking news story. So this can't wait breaking news story is a live shot of the Olympic committee about who is going to get, are you ready, I hope you are. The 2012 Olympic games. Are they serious, this is breaking news, an event that won't take place for 7 years is breaking news. I was quite bothered by the situation and think I may have to write a letter. I write lots of letters.

My name is George, Im calling from just west of wiarton Ontario. This is really nothing to do with weather but I have a question about the high gasoline prices. How much gasoline is being used at a drag strip or like Daytona 500, if the gas prices are going up why are they allowing race drivers to compete, how much gas do they use. I would like to race my car too but I can’t because the gas is too much. But all the car races use astronomical amounts of gas for nothing, just to go around the track 500 miles. Thats 500 miles I can’t use in gas for what half a year, all the driving I do, thank you for listening. If the gas price is going up why allow car races.


This is the same guy who called in about low water levels

Hi There, I am a believer, a Christian of the god Jehovah. Witnessing the weather is wonderful. There is wind in the trees; one cant see the wind in the trees except for the trees that have wind in them. We are looking for some rain, we may bring a chunk of polar ice to the park, maybe on a large sea worthy ship. Then maybe on a truck with a big block of ice. Then we could use some local air traffic to lift the ice over the park. Thats my message for today. Take good care, Im thinking of you Nadine.
