I was just going to click on the “i like this” heart icon, but the two people who follow me and don’t follow Cam should read and enjoy this too.

Only Six A and Chambar have a better beer list than the Stella’s on the Drive… and soon I’ll be able to walk three blocks to get there.
Cbc.ca: U.S. group wants religion pulled from... →

A lawsuit filed in Federal Court is trying to prevent having the phrase “So help me God” included in the oath of office. It also wants to prevent inaugural prayers from being delivered at the event.

Quite a lot of the dead this weekend appear to have been Hamas members, but what is it supposed to solve? Is Hamas going to say: “Wow, this blitz is awesome – we’d better recognise the state of Israel, fall in line with the Palestinian Authority, lay down our weapons and pray we are taken prisoner and locked up indefinitely and support a new American ‘peace...

Twitter: Me and Sean Orr just stopped 2 drunk... →
Sean hasn’t mentioned it here, but he and Kris Krug stopped two thugs from almost killing the homeless guy who walks around playing the harmonica in Gastown.
And now for the TSN 'Turning Point'.

The “Turning Point” is a feature in which they usually show a clip of the point in the game at which it was all downhill for the losing team. A bad goal, an injury, a stupid penalty, these are the types of clips you’d see after a regular game. Instead, after the 15-0 flogging that Canada gave Kazakhstan, they showed a clip of the Canadian bus pulling up...
So, New Years plans.
I hope you pop the champagne by sabreing.

I’m stating for the record that I am going to the Biltmore to see Gang Violence, Defektors, and Juvenile Hall with the Ice Cream Social DJs. I hope to see many of my friends there. I’m going to dance my face off and hopefully pop the cork off a bottle of champagne at some point.

“It’s Christmas time, you know what I mean. This is outrageous, I can’t understand it. People are supposed to be friendly not shooting each other,” said Crystal Anderson.
“I’m going to kill that motherfucker that owes me money.”
“Dude, it’s Christmas time. Kill’em next week.”
A guide to not hitting on me.

I will make a list for the guy who was talking to me at the flea market to really explain exactly where he went wrong.
Oh sure we bought the same book, but you just admitted to me that you bought it for the cover art.
Also, you admitted that you have never even heard of the author…really? Albert Camus, you have NEVER heard of him? I am guessing you...

– This recent letter to the editor from MacLean’s, quoted in Inkless Wells, really does a good job of summing up a lot of what ills this great nation.
BBC: Pope attacks blurring of gender →
Pope Benedict XVI has said that saving humanity from homosexual or transsexual behaviour is just as important as saving the rainforest from destruction.
That’s pretty much how I rank the world’s problems too: environmental destruction, plague, famine, war, and the gays.
Merry Christmas from the Catholic Church.
