handy Pete Doherty arrest report template

Pete, you're looking rode hard and put away wet! 

With a little tweaking this could work for George Michael, too. From commenter Gabe over on Gawker’s post about Doherty’s latest drug bust. Seriously, I think it must be some other dude who got Kate Moss pregnant; surely by now his body is incapable of producing anything but crack-flavoured vomit.

who died?

Seriously, who died? I went past the cop shop and all the flags are at half-mast.

The blogosphere reports nothing. The CBC reports nothing.

Are they Alouette fans or something?

what gramma knew about dinner…

Posted on by

and what the people who knew Gramma told you about that.

These are two different things.

My sister, who resides within a 50 mile radius of the centere of my family’s historic influence, was at dinner once and the topic of sexism came up, as it does. She, not unnaturally, quoted the mayor of Ottawa as saying that a female must accomplish twice that of a male before being recognized as half as valuable. She also said that the mayor said that to her grandmother. The mayor therupon, at a different table, asked “who’s your grandmother” and a connection was begun.

Some stranger said, well that is nothing…whereupon the thought police would take care of some thinkers.

Let’s see if I’m rational enough at this point to argue my point, which is that a once-weekly family dinner is a binding and proactive option and that families that do not submit to the weekly-dinner model are societally destructive.  The response is clear.

pic o’ the day: stormwatching in Ucluelet

Do ya ever chat with Europeans and listen to them complain about “wilderness” and “wild animals?” A friend of mine lived in Heidelberg for a year and during that time she noted several occasions on which the populace was encouraged to go out into the forest and “Pick up the garbage, like fallen leaves, branches, etc”. Can’t have that messing up the forest, nosirree!

What we have here is a failure to communicate.

Hedgehogs are not the same as grizzly bears. If your country does not support wildlife that can kill you, it has no wilderness. It has parks.

A friend of mine used to say that if you go camping and shoot a gun off and anyone else can hear it, you’re not really camping.

Welcome to my world. This is nine hours drive from here, including ferry time, but I can walk from my apartment downtown to an area with bears in it in about two and a half hours. Forty minutes on the bus if you’re lazy.

Behold Ucluelet, world-renowned destination for stormwatching, for obvious reasons:

Yes, we have had a lot of videos today, but this just popped up on YouTube‘s featured vids and I’ll be damned if I’m missing a jellyfish-themed music video. We are, as we have said, all about the jellyfish on the ol’ raincoaster blog.
