The Internet’s leading authority on radicalized geese
As a vegetarian, I’m not going to be eating foie gras. Foie gras, in case you don’t know, is the liver of a goose that has been force fed to the point that it has developed fatty liver. Sounds rather disgusting to me (both the idea of eating a fatty liver and the force feeding […] →Read more
Because apparently my blog is now just a vehicle for memes… Today’s blog posting is the 56/5 meme. It works like this: Grab the closest book to you. Now. Go to page 56. Find the 5th sentence.

Yesterday, I received an email telling me about the untimely demise of Torsopants: It is with great sadness that I announce, at the urging of Bilderberg, that I am closing the doors at TorsoPants.com at midnight December 23rd, 2008. I cannot get into complete details, but my higher masters have told me that my mission […] →Read more
Three of the last five Diet Dr. Peppers that I have bought have won me another Diet Dr. Pepper: This seems like an abnormally high winning percentage, no? I keep buying them from the vending machine at work – for some reason, whenever I’m in a store where I can actually cash in one of […] →Read more

But the last one was awesome. It said: I am out of the office until Monday December 15th. In the meantime, feel […] →Read more
Anyone who has ever been to my place can attest to the fact that cleaning is not my forte. Nor are tidying, straightening up, housework or chores. So, my question is: does anyone know of a good cleaning service (or independent cleaner) who will clean my place for a reasonable price? I really want someone […] →Read more

Raul tagged me with a meme and this gives me an easy out for today’s post (thanks Raul!). For this, I have to post the 6th photo on page 6 of my Flickr photostream. Unfortunately, this picture is BO-RING! It’s a picture of my shoe. Now I’m supposed to tag 6 people. But… meh. Feel […] →Read more
It seems that every time I go to Ontario, I come back with the plague. On the day of the pig party, my sister was totally wiped out by a nasty, nasty cold. Like, so sick that she went to bed immediately after everyone left (about 5:30 p.m.) and slept through ’til the next morning. […] →Read more
