Modern Dance and The Toronto Maple Leafs
April 1, 2006 From: doug

I posted a new dream today. I actually found this in my “Drafts” folder this morning, but I don’t remember typing it up. I must’ve woken up, come downstairs, typed it in, and then showered away my short-term memory. Read Modern Dance and The Leafs.

Patently Silly
March 28, 2006 From: doug
A friend sent me a link to an article thinking it would be appropriate for Meatsicle, but hidden in that article was a brilliant little gem of a link that takes you to Patently Silly. The site is run by a New York City comedian who spends hours searching the website of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. And what he finds is worth hours of entertainment value.

Myotonic Goats
March 23, 2006 From: doug

If these strange and amusing Myotonic Goats (a.k.a. Fainting Goats) are the result of Intelligent Design, then I believe “intelligent” is a misnomer. Perhaps the Intelligent Design movement should rename itself to something more like Semi-Intelligent Design, With Errors.
 
Oh, and listen to the whole segment because you absolutely have to hear the brilliant questions that Tim Green from A Current Affair asks, including his off-the-cuff semi-retarded last question. You’ll know it when you hear it… it’s almost funnier than the goats themselves.

Chris says “My god, it’s genius, GEEENius I tell you!” And he is obviously referring to this brilliant video.

Pete Nema Music Reviews
January 27, 2006 From: doug
[Dog Enema Sign]
I think it’s time I made it official: I’ve launched a new site specifically for music reviews. To give you an idea of the focus, the one liner is Cleansing Indie Music Reviews. And, yes, the site is called Pet Enema. Get over it. And, as you can see, I even created a beautiful and mildly explicit logo. Pete Nema, my somewhat harsh alter ego, is responsible for writing the reviews. I think he is out to a good start, though, keeping it almost entirely clean (I repeat: almost). What I’m saying is that I’ll try to keep Pete in line, but if you go poking around that site and you don’t like the words you see, don’t come complaining to me. Or Pete, for that matter.
 
Why did I create Pet Enema? Well, I guess my all-request radio has driven a couple of bands to send me CDs for review, along with small press kits. And this is without even asking for them. I could just write mini-reviews on this site, but instead I decided to give them a little more attention. And why not? Pete really enjoys listening to new music; why not let him him tell the world what he thinks? So I decided to setup a music review site, request that bands send Pete their music for review, and have him write short and [hopefully] descriptive reviews for these independent bands.
 
It turns out that the day before I went to see Broken Social Scene at the Kool Haus was the day I got the site setup. To my surprise, Pete was with me at the concert and he decided that Pet Enema could be used for concert reviews as well.
 
There you have it. Visit the site. Ignore the site. Like Pete. Hate Pete. Whatever makes you happy.

Meister Rabolu Fan Writes
January 11, 2006 From: doug

Yea! Another V.M. Rabolu fan has written me a short note attempting to convince me that including him on my Insane page is incorrect. And, once again, the points outlined are indisputable. Read the new entry from Marjorie.

Highly Flammable Action Figures
January 1, 2006 From: doug
[Vinny Smith]
I already knew the internet was a strange place, but then someone forwarded this link to me: Vinny Smith. Before you click, you need to know that Vinny Smith is the CEO of the company where I work, and this is, in fact, an action figure in his image.
 
Once I got over the surprise, I discovered that Highly Flammable Toys makes one-off action figures. I know what you’re thinking: “Oooh, now it all makes sense”.

[Photoblog]Night Beach #3 - 2006-09-08

As the remains of Ernesto took out the power in my area, I headed down to the beach and snapped some long exposure photos. Because of the thick clouds and the power outage, the only light on the beach was being cast from downtown Toronto (where they still had power). These photos were taken sometime after 1:00 AM.

Deep Thought of the Day (by Jack Handey)
Once when I was in Hawaii, on the island of Kauai, I met a mysterious old stranger. He said he was about to die and wanted to tell someone about the treasure. I said, "Okay, as long as it's not a long story. Some of us have a plane to catch, you know." He stared telling his story, about the treasure and his life and all, and I thought: "This story isn't too long." But then, he kept going, and I started thinking, "Uh-oh, this story is getting long." But then the story was over, and I said to myself: "You know, that story wasn't too long after all." I forget what the story was about, but there was a good movie on the plane. It was a little long, though.

Reader's Tips
Pack grated fresh zucchini in secure plastic bags, stuff into shoes as required, and put in freezer. Leave for at least 24 hours. Shoes should be stretched.
   - E. Ruttle, Vineland

Doug responds: That way you can buy shoes that are too small for you, and as an added bonus, you'll have shoe-shaped frozen zucchini for use in my favorite recipe: "Baked Shoe-Shaped Zucchini with Shoestring Sauce".
