I wanna be a ninja, yo.

Waiting for the battle between Star Wars Kid and this guy on the that new reality show about who wants to be a stuntman called Next Action Star.

Coming to a Happy Meal near you.

Fun with paper!

Good time for origami. You can do Transformers, you can do various sexual positions, and you can then be commented on by the good folks who used to be at the Brunching Shuttlecocks…

“I’m just getting my groove on.”

For those of you who love watching SNL’s Will Farrel or George Bush making a fool of themselves on national television (with about equal frequency, actually), I present you with a very funny campaign ad parody.

It seems smaller than before..

You saw it here first, albeit it in tiny form: the new Canadian twenty dollar bill..

And the back:

You may recognize the art on the back as an image of the big jade-green statue at the airport, which is a recreation of Bill Reid’s original-much smaller-wooden version, currently housed at the Museum of Anthropology at UBC. I think.

News release here.

Kraft Dinner and water sound very tasty

At least, those are the thoughts going through my head as I just learned last night that there’s a good chance that we’re quite broke.

At the very least, we’re 95% commited to moving. That’s right, the cat will have brand new (well, new to him) carpet to play, shed and puke on.

More news when it happens. Next scheduled news…Uh, we don’t schedule news around here.

Update: I am one of those people that doesn’t use a phonebook. MyTelus and Google are my friends. Do you know how annoying it is looking up a company called “Aaaah So Easy” when you don’t know the number of A’s in the name??? Great gimmick for the phonebook, not so sure about the Internet….

Update: All the subjects have been removed, its official, we will be broke on around Oct 15th or thereabouts.

A long lost relative perhaps?

Well, not only does this fellow share the same last name as SlantyOJ, he apparently shares his penchant for eating anything. Here he tries out those penis enlargement pills I’ve been hearing so much about on the Intraweb..

Men are stupid…

Okay, I’m a guy, and I still don’t see the point in this. If men are actually stupid enough to spend cash to impress a _virtual girlfriend_, they deserve to be broke and alone. Sheesh.

In other news… I always thought that SUVs were unsafe, impractical and environmentally toxic. It turns out they’re also illegal. I love the fact that the same obscene regulation that makes them a tax write-off also guarantees that they qualify for prosecution. Nice.

The Bar Project: Hey this beer tastes like…

Well, until we get TheBarProject running again, we’ll be posting drinking errata here on Slanty.

A mid Wales brewery which claims to be the smallest in the world has re-opened.

Less than 5ft square and formerly an outside toilet, Bragdy Gwynant brews ale for just one customer – the Tynllidiart Arms next door.

That’s right, it used to be a bathroom
