I was wondering what happened to this giggly little worm. I guess there was more than one of him. Just like there was more than one General Lee in the Dukes of Hazzard.

Nirvana Albums Coming. Ahhh!

Is this what he really looked like?

Sounds like Rudy was PO'd. Justifiably so.

I love Circus Music. I must have been a clown in a past life.

Here's a themepark that I could get into. The only problem is that it's in Romania. Too far away.

This is a funny interpretation in Flash. It's done by the same people who did the oh so hilarious "Elephants... Yeah!" and "She's Got a Chicken to Ride" as well as "Mark Llama, Gerbil Farmer"

Yikes. That's kind of close.

Here's a picture of Ma, Pa and Carol. They're here for a good time not a long time.

Here's the funny Ikea lamp ad.

I can make him say what I want him to. So can you. Right here.

Guns N' Roses heading to Canada


They'll be starting their tour here in Vancouver on November 7. Lucky us. If the MTV Video Awards was any indicator of things to come, Axl should be out of breath after running on to the stage at the start of the show. It's all downhill from there.

I love buckethead though.

We will not be buying this costume for Moosh.

Looks like Enomis's neck of the woods is in for some weather. Isidore soaks coast, heads north.

Who's the richest made up person in the world? Find out here.

A scotsman walks into a bar with a steering wheel in the front of his pants.

The bartender says, "You know you have a steering wheel down the front of your pants?"

Scotsman says, "I know. It's driving me nuts."

It's coming on October 25. More of Johhny Knoxville and his crew (the worst of which is Steve-O ... ew!)

Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation : Birthday Card. Yes it's for real. I saw Chris and his wife on Larry King and this was the web address they gave.

I'm listening to Art Bell interviewing people from The Ghost Investigators Society. It's really interesting stuff. I love all things paranormal and have studied extensively.



I'm not saying that I believe in all this stuff like ghosts and UFO's, but I'd like to believe it's possible they exist. Let's just say I'm open minded with a healthy dose of skeptic mixed in.

NEWS.com.au | Cemetery begins funeral webcasts (September 24, 2002). I wonder if you can record it to watch it at your leisure. Funerals can be soooo inconvenient.

CHC Online - Country Recipes Mmmmmm. That reminds me. Mom and Dad will be here on Friday.

"In late January 1994, Cobain, Novoselic, and Grohl entered Bob Lang's studio in Seattle for their final recording session. Following a long jam, they captured this powerful tune (3.28 MB mp3) in one take, including the gut-wrenching vocal -- a spooky, ambient intro of echoed harmonics and a fractured guitar solo." --Jim DeRogatis as posted on Metafilter.

The file won't be there long. Snag it while you can.

I was really sick over the weekend. I still feel as though I'd eaten something from here:



It's a smelly dumpster in an alley that I walk by every day on my way to work. Yuck.

I was barfing my head off yesterday and, frankly, I'm still afraid to eat anything. I'm a little woozy. I bet if I were to watch any of the Top Ten Movie Barf Scenes I'd be back at it again. *Urp*

The flu sucks. For my various symptoms I have Imodium (you don't want to know), and Tylenol (headache) to get me through my work day. But I don't have any Gravol which is probably what I need the most.

Finally, the company that manages the building I work in is remodelling the bathrooms on this floor. So I have to go downstairs either via elevator or stairwell (which may or may not be locked) to be sick. I hope the janitor doesn't mind cleaning up puke.

I know, you're thinking, "Why didn't you stay home?" I have no sick days left. Argh. Anyway, I'm here and a little green around the gills.

Google News Beta was released to the world today. Looks interesting.

'I just lost it' Yes I can think of a few more things you should lose. First is your children. Second is your freedom.

Check out Harmik. He's a Tom Jones look-a-like. Holy Crap! He would have fooled me.

Read this article about Technology Licensing - HyperSonic Sound. It's really interesting.

I've done a wide variety of jobs in my life; everything from Grave Digger to Ice Cream Bike driver. I can honestly say that I have never held any of these Odd Jobs, but Foley Artist would be fun. Beer tester is right out. I'm not exactly prone to spitting it out.

Lorne (aka Mr Sneer) got so wound up about being mentioned on my blog that he sent me a picture of his dog. I added the text of Lorne's message below the picture as it's worth it to.



"Oeeeeee I finally made it to MB’sBlog Ahs beez a stahr youze bein raht ahboot the Edmuntun thang too theez hicks stahrt to bee a rubbin off on mee ah bit, I did however get me an ol dog tah keep mee cumpany ahnd when I beez walkin him along the unpaved streets here the locals seemz to be takin a tad more friendly tah me, I'll send a pic O him to ya, Iz named him Ezikiel."

I'm sure he likes them french fried potaters. (38kb mp3)

Go play the Mako Shark Game.

Thanks to Mr Sneer for the link. I guess people from Edmonton can be of some use.

Moosh needs a pair!

All about Robert Pickton by Michael Newton Now he's a famous freak. With 11 he's been charged with as many murders as Clifford Olson.

I can't smoke any more in real life. I can take a Cyber Cigarette Break. Puff! Puff! Ahhhh!

Listen here. Too funny!

fidius.org: What's My Pirate Name?

My Pirate name:
Bloody Tom Kidd
"Every pirate lives for something different. For some, it's the open sea. For others (the masochists), it's the food. For you, it's definitely the fighting. Even though you're not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr! "

John Travolta displays his wings showing he is qualified as 747 first officer after arriving at Heathrow Airport in London on August 19, 2002. Travolta, who is an enthusiastic pilot with eight licenses to his credit, has been flying his personal 707 on a 13 city "Spirit Of Friendship" tour to promote aviation as Australian Airline Quantas' 'Ambassador at Large'.

Judging by the hat, he's not as concerned about his hair as he was in Saturday Night Fever:
"Ya know I work on my hair a long time...and he hit it. He hits my hair." (wav 50kb)

CBC News: Pickton to face more murder charges

UPDATE:

Even More...

Yikes! They're all related.

Carol and I watched the first episode of the Sopranos Season 4 last night. According to CNN.com the 'Sopranos' premiere whacked all competition getting some awesome ratings.

This season started out on the right foot. The crap is going to fly for sure.

I even downloaded last night's episode (Sunday night's for you in the U.S.) from a binaries newsgroup. If you don't get the cable channels broadcasting the show, which can be seen on Movie Central in Canada and HBO in the U.S., then you can get your Sopranos fix by pointing your newsreader at alt.binaries.great.

Look at Dognose Heaven. Maybe I should email them a picture of Moosh.

Mutation gives sheep beautiful buttocks. Thanks to Bill G for the link.

The Emmy's are coming. Like you care.

Take your old physics books and throw them in the trash. Speed of light broken with basic lab kit

The Osbournes premiere on CTV tonight. Apparently it won't be bleeped at all. Yay Canada! My bet is it won't last.

On Fark.com this morining I saw a link to a Reuters report titled:
Cigarettes, Coffee Tied to Lower Parkinson's Risk

This is interesting. I quit smoking 5 years ago and gained 60 lbs so my risk of heart attack has gone up considerably. Now I'm being told I'm more at risk for Parkinsons. Argh!

All this chasing of immortality that we humans do is insane. We're all going to croak within years of one another no matter what we do. The only way this can be different is freak disease or tragic accident. We spend all this time obsessing on preventing, or delaying by moments, the inevitable when we could be having a good time.

Like the man said, "Life is what happens to you when you're busy making other plans."

World's oldest person celebrates birthday. She's 115 today.

Westerfield gets death penalty. Buh-bye dirtbag.

Triumph is releasing a rap album. I can't wait.

I have to get me a Monowheel. Very cool!

This would be a neat place to stay sometime.

Carol and I went to the Apple Barn in Abbottsford to pick some Gala apples today. I didn't know that Gala was a type of apple so when I saw the sign Gala U-Pick I thought it meant a big party. Duh! Carol was laughing at me all day. But karma came around and she got her finger nibbled by this chompy donkey...



...at the petting zoo portion of the farm. She wasn't hurt, only startled. That's what you get for picking on your poor plant retarded husband.

We had fun. We picked two bags of apples. The weighed 25 lbs each. Yummy! Apple pie! (I hope, I hope!)

A giant pumpkin-pyramid towers in Ludwigsburg, Germany, Sept. 3, 2002. The 45-foot-tall pyramid is part of an exhibition showing some 600 different kinds of pumpkins.

Not everyone wants to be mean to Alec Baldwin. PETAB is trying to protect his rights.

Have your self a game of Crab Ball.

This is filmed in Nova Scotia. They are probably based on my old friends. HAHA!

Sounds like one of those whacko conspiracy theorists got slugged by Buzz Aldrin. Buzz was the second man on the moon. Pretty cool.



Apparently the sluggee is one of those toaster heads who think that the moon landing was a hoax. There are people out there who debunk the debunkers. I believe they were there. I wanna go. It's open for business.

Here's an International Coffee of Mystery that may interest you or make you gag. I don't think I'll be drinking any coffee in Indonesia any time soon. Thank God.

Thanks LVB for the link.

Terror alert issued on Florida highway. Yikes.

UPDATE:

Not a funny joke.

WTC was not the first time people leapt to their deaths in a NYC Fire. It happened here too. The factory was a sweatshop and the fire was horrible.

Is this really a Vietnamese word or are they referring to themselves or their clientele? I'm not sure I'd want to eat here:



Thanks to Pauly for the pic.

Creepy! See the video here.

Some purty pictures of the atmoshpere.

This article talks about how scientists have discovered a third natural satellite around Earth.

Three? Okay there's the Moon, but what else? Apparently the second satellite, discovered in 1986 is called Cruithne (What jackass named that?). This is the first I've heard of the second one. Now there's a third? Interesting reading anyway.

Taking the bus is always an exercise in tolerance for me. Being crammed into a tin box with people who smell of booze from the night before, mothballs, odd foods and adult diapers (yes adult diapers) is enough to set me wretching first thing in the morning. I'm considering taking up smoking again or having a clothespin attatched to my nose so as to spare me from the olfactory assault of the stinky, trasit riding masses.

That is all ... for now.

I've changed the look of my site just for today. You know why.

I'm not going to post funny links or rant and rave about what I like or dislike today. Later on I may post some links to other sites commemorating September 11, 2001 in a special way.

There are many.

So much has happened this year. Many tears have been shed. The world is a different place.

I pray that the victims and their families, everyone in the free world for that matter, heals just a little more today. I hope that we can find new and creative ways to prevent the events from a year ago from ever happening again.

Let's not forget this. Honestly, I don't think I could if I tried.

I don't think we'll ever truly understand it. Who would care to know such depraved reasoning anyway?

I not only remember people, planes and buildings being destroyed. I remember line ups at blood banks. I remember volunteers chomping at the bit to go and assist in any way with the rescue and recovery efforts. I remember police and firemen collecting for the families of the victims. I remember the people opening their homes to stranded airline passengers in their time of need. There has been a lot of love between strangers since the horrible events that day. If there's one thing we've learned since 9/11 it's that even with all it's warts our society still knows how to love.

When taken out of context Mister Rogers is pretty bizarre. Okay, even when you've heard the whole conversation he's still a weirdo.

Christopher Reeve is slowly getting better.

... is not like the others.



Okay, so they're all the same. So what?

Ok. Now this is retarded.

Yes. Saddam Hussein is the main topic of an Iraqi rapper.

At 07:00 PM GMT Thursday, 12th September 2002 this web server which also controls the crusher that it sits inside will kill itself. Now that's art!

If you don't want to talk, don't talk. But this looks just plain ghoulish. Evil! Evil!

Go here and look at what the poor kids have to eat. Ew!

'Bowlingual' will translate doggy barks to words. How much do you want to bet "I'm hungry" and "I need a pee" come out a lot?

Here are the pitures of his Hong Kong & Macau Trip. Very cool. Look at all those mooncakes. I see some under his desk today. Maybe I'll get some.

52% of Canadians Support and Attack on Iraq.

A new movie called Max is about to premiere at the Toronto Film Festival. It's a film by Lions Gate Films starring John Cusak. According to the Lions Gate Site it's "A film studying the depiction of a friendship between an art teacher named Hoffman and his student, Adolf Hitler." This should be an interesting flick. It's creating a lot of buzz already.

It's a decisive moment for two neighbors. You can be sure that the two will speak of Iraq, our trade relations and border security. Hopefully, the honourable Mr Chretien will come down of his horse and at least listen to President Bush (I know it's not the real Whitehouse site, but it's much funnier).

Chretien's been Prime Minister since Christ was a cowboy and doesn't hear much except what he wants to. People have taken to calling him the Prozac Prime Minister. "Evr'yding is fine ofer dere!!"

Here's a picture of our great Prime Minister and renowned tough guy choking a demonstrator who got too close at one appearance by our fearless leader:



Secret Service? RCMP? Who needs 'em?

You can Chretienize a web site here. Or look at a Chretienized version of my site here.

Growing up there are certain people who's kindness sticks with you through the years. Ralph William Simmons was one of those people for me.



Growing up my sister and I spent a lot of time next door at Catherine and Ralph Simmons home. We called them Nanny and Grandad Simmons although they were no blood relation they were very important to us and our two families participated in many events together. My mom said, "It's like the end of an era." I agree. We'll miss you Grandad.

One of my favourite bits from Saturday Night Live is Phil Hartman in 1993 doing Susan as one of the contestants on the German Sprockets version of the Dating game.



Also listen to: susan.wma (22kb)

Sadly, on May 28, 1998, Phil Hartman's wife, Brynn, murdered Phil in his bed and then turned the gun on herself. The world lost a comic genius that day. His children lost their parents.

We still miss you, Phil.

OOOhh ... It vibrates! Read the reviews.

I can't wait until next year for Pirates of the Caribbean

My good friend Bennett celebrated his 41st birthday today. he got surprise-silly-stringed by his girlfriend's kids at the BBQ he had.



We gave Bennett some grits for a gift. He's a good southern boy originally from Memphis, Tennessee. That's right, Graceland. Home of Elvis the Pelvis. Not Chelvis. Bennett is a big Elvis fan. His favorite Elvis movie was King Creole.

Anyway, happy birthday B! And happy 31st birthday to my sister, Rachel, today!

According to CNN.com B.I.G done it. The Smoking Gun says that the cops knew pretty much right after it happened.

Yes, I scanned a bit of today's lunch:



It reminds me of my favourite joke of all time. Any one who has been around me for any amount of time has probably heard me tell ths joke. Carol knows I love it, which is probably why I got two plums instead of one.

Anyway, here goes:

Q: What did the old man wearing sweatpants say when he reached into his pocket?

A: Plums? I don't remember buying any plums!

Season 4 of the Sopranos starts on Sunday, September 15 2002 on HBO. Here in Canada (if you have Digital TV or Satellite) on Tuesday, September 17 2002 on Movie Central. Weeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Hey! Why aren't I on the Fortune.com - Forty Full List? Oh yeah, I'm poor. =(

It's time to listen to O.J. Simpson lie some more.

My buddy Emil (a.k.a. Emo) has updated his site. Check it out. He also did a new tune, The Edge of the Desert. Experimental stuff but I like it.

Today I'm listening to A Flock of Seagulls' Greatest Hits. Carol and I went to see A Flock of Seagulls and Platinum Blonde at the Commodore last spring. I took some pictures. The one below is of Michael Score (formerly the guy with the hair. Now covering up male pattern baldness with a Russian style hat).



All the guy did was whine about the cold, his health and that people wanted only to hear his old stuff. Sorry buddy, the new stuff that you subjected us to before you played the old standards blew goats.

We had a pretty good time though. Platinum Blonde was awesome. I'm sad to say that was my 4th time seeing them.

Baby Osama must have another name. Why on Earth did they name him that in the first place? DUH! DUH! DUH!

I've been reading The Two Towers. It's the second installment of the Lord of the Rings trilogy.



I read the series when I was a lot younger and barely remember anything from it. I thought it would be a good idea to polish up on what happens to those Hobbits and that darned Ring before the movie comes out at Christmas time.

My bet is more Oscar nods for Peter Jackson and his crew. Jackson wrote and directed one of my favourite zombie movies, Dead Alive. I've been a fan for a long time. It's great to see someone like him come from relative obscurity to one of the most respected directors in Hollywood. Way to go Peter! I'd love to work with him one day.

The Globe and Mail: Breaking News. Very Heaven's Gate-esque if you ask me. At least they sent a postcard.

A buddy gave me this Fart Bag:



Here's the back of it.

I'm not sure why this is funny, but it is. What in the hell is in this thing. Do I dare set it off? Perhaps it's anthrax from Taiwan.

Look what a Canadian Senate committee recommends.

I want to read this book.

Napster.com ... click on the logo.

Canada.com has set up a beautiful site for the September 11 Anniversary. Today they posted an article with the headline "U.S. envoy slams low defense spending". I would tend to agree.

Our armed forces are somewhat of a joke. That's not due to the men and women who serve. They do the best they can and do us proud. However, they don't have a heck of a lot to work with. The government needs to throw more money at defense, especially with the climate of terrorism ever on the rise. The forces have been recruiting like mad this year, but we need better equipment. What our soldiers are using now is marginally acceptable, at best, and mostly out of date. Canada doesn't come close to measuring up to our NATO commitments militarily. We owe it to ourselves and our next door neighbours to firm up the lines of defense.

I'm posting this for a friend:

Hi Everyone,

Looking for a favor. Could everyone please vote for my cats picture as he/I will win a huge

Thank for your help

I wanted one of these when I was a little nerd.

Check out these epitaphs. There's some pretty interesting ones. You should check out the rest of the City of Silent too. Everything you wanted to know about cemeteries.



What do you want on your tombstone?

This is pretty retarded. Looks like Google's way of doing business has P.O'd the commies. Next thing you know, they'll block access to my lunch. They probably should anyway.

You're not paranoid, you are being watched.

Junkscience.com is kind of interesting.

What Moby has to say about Eminem being a weiner at the VMA's.

Yesterday we went to see the girls U17 soccer team, the Celtic Fury form Calgary, that Carol's dad coaches play a game in Langley. The Labour Day Tournament is huge and takes place at a number of fields throughout town.



We're going to go to a game this afternoon as well. After that Carol's aunt, Holly, has invited us and the entire team back to her place for dinner and a party. Should be fun.

Time to broaden your vocabulary with some obscure words.

Relief as the Cows Upstairs Move Out. I thought the jackass next door was bad. This is nothing. Although, the last place we lived had "cows" upstairs too. Wink! Wink!
