Kitties!

The kitties are constantly being cute or being silly which means we're constantly taking pics of them. Little guy was hanging out under the couch (with the dustballs).

Big Guy loves boxes, even if he doesn't quite fit in them.

Someone found some sunshine and wanted a belly-rub.

Cat Door Prank

Poor kitty (but of course I laughed)!

H1N1 Paranoia: Tensions Rise

I got this one from my sister...

Penguin Meat?

I saw a truck with this label on it while driving to work today.


I couldn't find a company webpage but apparently it's located next to a donair shop.

Are you an organ donor?

Are you an organ donor? You should be. If you're willing to receive an organ, then you should be willing to donate them as well.

The sticker on the care-card thing isn't valid anymore but it's easy to sign-up online (at least if you live in BC) at http://www.transplant.bc.ca.

This came up because I just watched an interesting news article about switching the system to a "presumed consent" system instead of an opt-in system. This is used in many other countries, including Spain which leads the world in transplants. Not only can transplants save lives, they can save money too since they are more cost-effective than long-term treatments.

While you're at it, go donate blood too. It's fun and you get cookies!

2010 Olympic Torch Ceremony

The Olympic torch arrived in Canada this morning and there was a ceremony to celebrate the Olympics after the torch travelled around the city. We headed down to the inner harbour around 6:30 and got a great spot against the fence in front of the legislature building. I'm sure the rain kept lots of people away but the crowds were nothing compared to what showed up in the summer for Canada day.

There was a big stage where various things were happening with speakers & a big screen so everyone could hear & see what was going on. The announcer made sure we knew who the sponsors were and after only being there for 10 mins, I was thirsty for a coke & wanted to invest money with the Royal Bank.

I was reminded that people are stupid for two major reasons:

• There were lots of people walking around carrying huge umbrellas which was dangerous (since the poky bits are eye-level) and they also block the view of everyone behind you.
• People brought their dogs down to the celebration which is just cruel. I felt so bad for these poor doggies who were forced to sit in the rain while the crowds walked around and the music blared through the speakers (not too mention the cheering/clapping/fireworks). This totally reminnded me of the idiots who brought their dogs to see the fireworks & snow-birds during the summer. Dogs do not belong at big, loud celebrations like this.

Everywhere you looked, you could see cops (especially when the torch got closer). The show of force worked well 'cause I didn't see any problems (even when the protesters arrived).

The protesters arrived about 20 mins after the torch which shows who was more organized. They were the same bunch of people that show up just for the sake of protesting. You could tell they were against having the games but you couldn't decipher anything else. I support their right to protest and free-speech but I think they're pretty stupid. The Olympics are here and are going to happen and they can't change that now. To protest other topics is just dumb, distracting and will cost more money to handle (and spending is usually related to their protests).

It was cool to see the torch but we won't be watching any of the actual games since we have other plans: we'll be in Mexico getting married! We'll be gone for two weeks, the first week will be with family and the second week will just be us for our honeymoon.

Halloween Safety Tips

Halloween, though lots of frightful fun, can also be full of potential dangers. Here are some tips to make your kids' All Saints' Eve an All "Safe" Eve:

• Pack your child's rectum with razor blades to make him/her less desirable to would-be molesters.
• Always trick-or-treat in groups of 400,000.
• Many troublemakers and dangerous people come out on Halloween night. To be safe, trick-or-treat in early March.
• Safety and self-defense go hand in hand. Be sure your child's handgun has at least a 10-round magazine and is at least .38 caliber to ensure stopping power.
• For optimum safety while trick-or-treating, be sure your child does not encounter fright-master screenwriter Kevin Williamson.
• Equip your child with special cyanide-filled false tooth for use in case of capture.
• Be sure child closes eyes before you drill eyeholes in mask.
• Beat would-be child murderers at their own game by poisoning your kids ahead of time.
• Dress your child in all-black costume to make him/her virtually invisible to potentially dangerous motorists.
• Tell your kids that if they see anything suspicious or scary-looking–for example, ghosts, goblins or witches–they should run to the nearest neighbor's house and call the police.
• Pack child's costume with safety flares.
• Before sending children off, give their anuses a good dollop of lube. This will help prevent their tissue from tearing when they are sodomized by maniacs.
• Do not ring doorbells under any circumstances.

GoateeSaver, a goatee shaving template for douches

A co-worker (who was slacking off) just sent me this. This is pretty douche-tastic but it would probably work great! I'm always trying to repair my shaving screw-ups.

Checkout the girls face at 0.58:-0.59, she makes an awesome face!
