This quote comes from the group Men To Boys, a local acapella group that sang at an event I was covering.
When food starts replacing sex, men can’t even get into their own pants!
Hahaha, I thought that was awesome!

Policeman Tries Not To Laugh At Fat Guy
LiveLeak.com – Policeman Tries Not To Laugh At Fat Guy.
The cop somehow manages not to laugh at the fat guy. This is totally hilarious. I wonder why he asked the guy to pull up his shirt. I assume to see if he has a weapon tucked in his waist. However, I have not seen other arrests go through that procedure before.
‘Wall Street got drunk’ says Bush
“It got drunk and now it’s got a hangover,” Mr Bush said at a private political fundraiser in Houston, Texas.
[...]“The question is, how long will it sober up and not try to do all these fancy financial instruments?” the president asks in the clip.
Good old President Bush. What’s the world without some insanely humourous quote from one of the leading nations of this planet.
Made me think of the scene from Harold and Kumar when the pair dropped into the president’s ranch.
McDonalds Caution
I’m sure most, if not all of you out there, know of the story of the woman who sued McDonalds over hot coffee spilled in her lap.
Liebeck v. McDonald’s Restaurants,[1] also known as the “McDonald’s coffee case,†is a well-known product liability lawsuit that became a flashpoint in the debate in the U.S. over tort reform after a jury awarded $2.86 million to a woman who burned herself with hot coffee. The trial judge reduced the total award to $640,000, and the parties settled for a confidential amount before an appeal was decided. The case entered popular understanding as an example of frivolous litigation;[2] ABC News calls the case “the poster child of excessive lawsuits.â€[3]
As a part of the verdict,
… the jury found that McDonald’s was 80% responsible for the incident and Liebeck was 20% at fault. Though there was a warning on the coffee cup, the jury decided that the warning was neither large enough nor sufficient.
Yesterday, when I was sampling my first of McDonalds new Ice Coffee offerings, I noticed this on the cup!
Is that a joke from McDonalds? The cup came with a caution about a cold drink that is about as big as the McDonalds logo itself on the cup. I see no way how a cold drink could actually freeze someone and cause bodily harm. It is interesting to note, that such a caution does not exist on their fountain drink cups.
Square Root of Three
Thanks to Jason for this poem! It’s not just from Harold and Kumar! It’s a real poem!
I’m sure that I will always be
A lonely number like root threeThe three is all that’s good and right,
Why must my three keep out of sight
Beneath the vicious square root sign,
I wish instead I were a nineFor nine could thwart this evil trick,
with just some quick arithmeticI know I’ll never see the sun, as 1.7321
Such is my reality, a sad irrationalityWhen hark! What is this I see,
Another square root of a threeAs quietly co-waltzing by,
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer,
Rejoicing as an integerWe break free from our mortal bonds
With the wave of magic wandsOur square root signs become unglued
Your love for me has been renewed-David Kleinberg
True Canon Rebel
I claimed my 30D today from the Canon service centre. Shooting without it the past 10 days was like walking around without pants .. half naked.
When I walked into the Canon store, everyone was giving me weird looks (and no, I was not lacking pants). The lady behind the counter looked up, and was hesitant to serve me. As I approached the desk, she barely gave me solid eye contact, instead looking at me with quick glances.
A man on the other side then walked over and said
“I’ll take care of this.”
He walked over, asked me for my name, and typed it into the computer. All this while, he kept looking at me weirdly. His glance, similiar to the other lady’s, kept shifting from me to computer screen.
Finally he said
“Nikon eh?”
At that moment, I realized what the big issue was about. I had forgotten and walked into the Canon service centre with my press pass still prominently dangling around my neck.
My press pass is on a bright yellow “you can’t miss it” Nikon lanyard. They must have thought I was trying to make some kinda statement.
The same two individuals had seen me there at least twice in the past month. Ten days ago, when I was last at the centre, I politely made no attempt to hide my displeasure that my battery grip had died, and the day the centre called to inform me that my grip was fixed, my 30D had the infamous error 99 and had to be dropped off. On top of that, I was incensed that my 580ex II did not sit properly on my Mark IIn. They said it was a problem with the gasket (but stressed that it was not an issue when I asked if it was a known issue). They offered to adjust it, but made no gurantee that it will sit well on my 30D, or a Mark III if I were to purchase one.
In any case, I said I’d switch to a Canon lanyard if they provided me with one. I vaguely recall hearing the lady mention that the lanyards were available “in the box over there”. They forgot to deliver. I forgot to ask again on my way out. I guess I will continue to shoot with Canons while sporting my bright yellow Nikon lanyard. :P
Live pork and beef fest!
Less than a month ago, a herd of cows decided that Mississauga was the place to graze when they fell out of a truck on the highway near our city. One of the cows was a “mad cow” which decided to charge residents and had to be put down.Today, lil porkers were at the opposite end of our city, apparently also falling out of their transport. Fire crews called for backup as more than three little pigs roamed around while they tried to fight the fire on the transport truck.
Fire on a truck? Little pigs on that truck? How come no one was called to the “cha-siu” (chinese bbq pork) feast? Damn those emergency crews probably ate them all!
I wonder what animal will grace our city next with a visit.
