car accident outside the window
September 7, 2010 – 5:03 am
Rob Glaser and his crew responded to this accident. Seems a light post ran into a parked car.
top songs Summer 2010
September 2, 2010 – 5:03 am
Here’s how I know I’m old. The biggest hit of the past summer is Katy Perry – “California Gurls” featuring Snoop Dogg, offensive to me in every possible way. I guess that’s the point. One of the few tweenybopper hits I can say anything positive about is Justin Bieber’s “Baby” featuring Ludacris. Click PLAY or [...]
how fast can you sprint?
August 27, 2010 – 5:02 am
This is FUNNY. Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube. I’m assuming that’s some TV sports personality. (via Gymnastic Bodies)
why does Twitter persist?
August 23, 2010 – 5:03 am
It’s terrible. Like Facebook with 5% of the feature set. Yet every company, celebrity and website feels obliged to tweet. (Even me with my 3 blogs.) Have you heard about the upcoming Facebook movie, The Social Network, based on the 2009 book The Accidental Billionaires? If Hollywood can make an overly dramatic film about the [...]
where in the world is John Long?
August 19, 2010 – 5:02 am
The truth must out. It’s time to reveal what’s happened to Calgary’s most wanted man. John and fellow rogue Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers leaders are believed to be hiding near the border of Afghanistan and Pakistan’s Federally Administered Tribal Areas. Though never officially married, John has fathered roughly 25 or 26 children. To [...]
Rick McCharles impersonators
July 27, 2010 – 2:17 pm
At Gymnastics Camp in Idaho the kids came dressed as a “famous person”. We had 1 Gaga. 2 Beibers. … And these good looking dudes … From the Facebook album: HPTC by Heather Fidyk more photos on HPTCamp.com
can I OWN a Canadian, Dr. Laura?
July 23, 2010 – 7:49 am
Of all the idiot right-wing American talk show nuts, Dr. Laura Schlesinger is worst. That’s saying a lot. This comic open letter to Dr. Laura is an oldie, but a goodie. It still makes me laugh. In her radio show, Dr Laura Schlesinger said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according [...]
Rockin’ on Vodka
July 16, 2010 – 5:05 am
The wisdom of Ron Shewchuk: … So you’ve decided to switch from beer to vodka. Congrats on making the healthy choice. I have existed on not much more than pork fat and vitamin V for the last 10 years or so, and it has reversed the aging process for me. Thanks to Brother Smirnoff I [...]
