Murder Capital! Lets celebrate.....
Well, we (MB) are again the murder capital of Canada. After briefly giving up our title to Saskatchewan for 2006, we fought back hard (literally), to win back our title for 2007.
Did you know that Quebec City had NOT ONE homicide in 2007? No one kills anyone else there apparently. What is it about QC that is so anti-murder? Is it the language? The relaxed attitude toward work? Sex? Armpit shaving? Is it laziness? A lasize faire attitude? Is it the attention to basic aesthetics? Art? Government grant money? Is there something in the poutine out there that we dont know about? Does it have something to do with the Canadian Shield and the action of the magnetic fields on the human brain?
Anyone -Thoughts?
Maybe we'll never figure this one out. Its an enigma wrapped in a mystery wrapped in cheese curd and covered with gravy. I'm hungry.
Peas out

Awesome Cat and the Pirahnakeet
Pretty AWESOME but...
when I was living in Calgary (yarg), walking home from my miserable job(s), I happened to notice a missing pet type sign stapled to the tree in the yard next to mine. What made me stop and look at this particular poster was the fact that it had a drawing, instead of a picture, of the missing animal. According to the poster, the missing animal was a something called a "pirahnakeet". The drawing showed a squat, fat bird with a big open beak and huge teeth. It had beady eyes, little sticks for legs and it was a simple line drawing. I wanted to steal it and keep it on my fridge but I just couldnt deprive the rest of the neighborhood of something so awesome. The poster said the pirahnakeet liked to eat cats and other small pets and that it had been AWOL in the 'hood for approximately 3 days. It was basically a warning. It was hilarious.

Politics - Schmolitics
Can everyone PLEEEEEESE stop taking about Sarah Palin? I am going to barf so hard my body turns inside out if i see one more word wasted on this idiot/embarrasment. If the American people are so stupid that they vote McCain/Palin in the next election (even after the SNL bullshit cameo), they deserve what they get.
Whats the popular saying? - "give them enough rope and they'll hang themselves". YES. Enough already. I am so contemptuous of a country that elected Bush TWICE, that I can barely glance at the news these days without shuddering.
Oh and BTW, what the hell is Dion and the Liberal government doing with the whole resignation thing? Way to gain my confidence that you know what they hell your party is doing, morons. No wonder the conservs kicked your sorry asses this time around. How pathetic. Do they actually expect anyone with half a brain to give a shit about politics if they can't even decide on a leader for their own party and keep them there for more than a few months? And how about a PM with some fucking charisma for a change? All we've got are these bible thumping, middle aged white guys with no balls and no social skills to choose from. No wonder young voter turn out is at an all time low.
FUCK!
PS have you seen Madonna lately? She looks like shit.

They are all dead now except Ricardo Montalban - he's 87
Update: Ricardo Montalban died today at his home in L.A., January 14th, 2009. He was 88 yrs old. In an interview in 1978, this is what he said about his character, Mr. Roarke of Fantasy Island, "Was he a magician? A hypnotist? Did he use hallucinogenic drugs? I finally came across a character that works for me. "
R.I.P. Ricardo. Tatoo will take care you you in heaven.

a la Franz Vermette.....
My Shit List
by Franz Vermette
1) the girl who kneed me at degrees and her fucking hat.
2) cabinets cabinetry things involving doors
3) the fact that no one in wpg wants to see the women, the movie.
4) plaster and how its a fucken crybaby, bitch.
5) having to brush your teeth at 2:01 am when all you want to do is go to bed
6) barefoot contessa is not on the food network anymore or what? does paris have a food network?
7) crits and how everyone in their crit talks about their ideas as though they're something great, but really its just fickle. and by talking about the "shadows" you are not exceeding the faculties pre-set conceptual marker, infact you are just buying into the language, which really is suck a trite language of veneer-based ideas. yknow
.... i'll make this number 8, but really its still number 7..
8) what the fuck. so many people are like "its this thing and you penetrate it and you feel...." like, how is that fucken possible, i can think up stupid shit like that but really? really? I am architectuallly naive, and probably wont feel like whatever it is you say I will. and how dare you make a program of what i am supposed to feel. and as if the faculty buys this shit too? like fuck. Everything is cheesy. get me out of here. there is nothing new to do.
9) the fact that i mentioned "shadows" in my crit. i would take it back if i could.
Thanks Franz. I also wonder when that BS about space which is not a space which is a "shadow" will die like the dead horse that it is. I take comfort in the fact that one day, these lame ass, culturally bankrupt wackjobs will be huddled in the shower bawling about how pathetic their lives are. And those bitches with hats are gay too.
Franzy's off to Paris! Bon voyage! a bientot!
