Election Party!

If you just happen to be in our neighbourhood …
[cheeky invitation courtesy of Dale]

The Date: Tuesday, Nov 2 @ 8 pm
The Place: Trina and Dale’s place (74 Woodland St, #1C)
The Purpose: Booze and camaraderie as we celebrate the final, crushing
defeat of George W Bush and his evil cronies/puppetmasters

We present to you a party in two parts:

THE WAR ROOM: Watch live coverage of election events as they unfold. A
powerful rabbit ear antenna transforms our otherwise ordinary living room into a six, sometimes seven-channel, universe. Be there to witness gerrymandering, minority disenfranchisement, election machine rigging, the inscrutable mathematics of the electoral college, the inevitable intervention of the supreme court and then – after all that – cry tears of relief as Kerry stands victorious atop the burning, smouldering, stinking ruins of the Bush administration.

And when electoral politics are getting you down, retire to the THE
DEMOCRATS’ LOUNGE. Relax, listen to soothing music, drink, and dream about better, less conflicted times. Bring your favourite alcohol, pick out a comfy chair, and try to forget for awhile that the man who once said “I’m also not very analytical. You know I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about myself, about why I do things” is running the country.

It’s the kind of party that you wouldn’t want to go to more than once
every four years, so we hope to see you all there.

Ban on Grey Market Satellite Violates Charter of Freedom

For all you satellite users out there, a recent court ruling now makes it ‘Legal’ to intercept US Satellite signals. The judge stated: Act dealing with grey-market systems violates Canadians’ freedom of expression.

The bugs .. they’re coming…

As soon as I saw this product, I ordered it but was disappointed when I received not “lady bugs” but dung beetles, and about 1000 of them. My apartment in Finland stunk for about 4 months and I had to eat these insects so they would not go to waste. Be sure to specify that you want “lady bugs” and not “lordy tords!

Indeed.

Looking for a GOD.

This is a full-time position that may require working some Sundays.Hopefully it will lead to an on call P/T position.

WHAT YOU HAVE TO OFFER

You are an independent GOD of no particular
religion, you have worldly exp. and a sense of
humour. You have patience & understanding, you are non-judgemental & full of forgiveness.
(No angry or revengeful GODS need apply).

WHAT I HAVE TO OFFER

A challenge. I am lazy, unmotivated ( it took me years just to place this ad). I am also high
maintenance, insecure, & feel lost. I’ve also been told I am self-centered. However, I am willing to try & change with your help & guidance.
If this sounds of interest to you, please send me your resume & cover letter w/ salary expectations. I would prefer all GODS to use the box # below.
If however, you feel the need to use ” divineintervention” please make it clear.

Box # 613-1755 Robson Street, Van. V6G 3B7

Note: If any person out there has a similar GOD to the one I’m seeking & doesn’t mind sharing, please use the box # above as well. Thank you.

Friday morning song

Since OD hasn’t been posting a plethora of time wasting links, I’ll try my best.

Sing along!

Likely downtime

SlantyNet has a really good chance of being down today, as more walls are being knocked out of our basement. You’ve been warned.

:-)

Walk to work

Some more pics, this time of my walk to work each day.

(OK not terrilby exciting but it does kindof show the crazy traffic.)

On the homefront: Stuff to give away

Blondie and I have now committed to putting a suite in the downstairs, so it looks like we’re going to need to get rid of some stuff. You’ll probably see me post more posts like this.

If you know anybody that needs an old washer/dryer, we’re more than happy to exchange them for a bottle of wine.
