now i don’t feel so bad about shipping charges on ebay after finding out how much the us government spent to ship a few $1.31 screws to iraq.

on the other hand, maybe those rumored “black-ops” groups do exist and this is how they’re funded…

this is how the cool kids get to school…

i wonder if this is the alternate ending to an american tail that didn’t make the final cut. poor fievel…

did anybody watch the european grand prix yesterday? hehe the first few laps were hillarious. teams with the wrong tires in a torrential downpour resulted in a parking lot in the gravel trap at turn 1.

i think estimates for the cost of a single f1 car is in the 6-8 million dollar range so that’s probably the world’s most expensive parking lot right there.

so all that ridiculous security crap you have to go through at the airport…pretty much useless. the feds tested the security checkers at the airport and 5 out of 7 times got a bomb though. the best though is one time, the parts for the bomb were in the same bag as a bottle of water and the screeners took the water and left the bomb parts. via Consumerist

WTF is this bullshit.

as if there was any doubt. read.

driving home last night down kingsway and i realized that pho bich nga is no longer there! what happened? it was always brought happy giggling when driving that stretch of road. so in order to properly eulogize the place, here’s my list of alternative names for when they decide to reopen (pronounce with ebonics):

pho nga wha
pho nga pls
pho bich pls

(of course all of these work equally well for non-pho restaurants).

are you familiar with the term “french shower” where a liberal dousing of perfume takes the place of a real water and soap shower?

well i’m about to introduce you to a new term that i’ve just created. this term is based on a real life observation that i just saw in the alley outside my house.

a “hobo shower” is when your neighbourhood dumpster diver takes an almost empty bottle of laundry detergent and liberally applies the dregs all over his clothing, inside his shoes and ballcap. squeaky clean and summer fresh.
