The Last Days of the Tambo Mudflats

September 3, 2008 – 9:48 am

This is re-posted from the Multiply site. I know that this is a tragedy not only on ecological, but on sociological grounds as well; for every dollar a casino brings into a community it costs $1.60 in social services.

Big Dee Dee Not Home Free!

July 22, 2008 – 1:32 am

Canadians from Port Alberni to the Bay of Fundy have been riveted by the tale of Big Dee Dee, a rare LOUS or Lobster of Unusual Size.
Indeed, at a strapping ten kilos and old enough to vote in human elections, Big Dee Dee was unquestionably the king (or queen…I didn’t look that closely, I must [...]

Canadian Beaver goes Brazilian and comes out on top!

July 21, 2008 – 9:40 am

Beaver. Who doesn’t love beaver, eh?
Okay, so I stole that headline, or most of it, from Vancouver Theatresports when they competed for the world comedy improv championships in Australia. And I had to tweak it from “We’re going Down Under to come out on top!” but hey, it still works.
And who doesn’t love beaver? And [...]

July 5, 2008 – 2:53 am

Who needs mood lighting when you’ve got one of these? Would go beautifully with the new carpet! I bet that fashionable couple the Nyarlathoteps have one already!

My kinda carpet!

June 29, 2008 – 10:15 am

How do I order wall-to-wall this?

Pretty sweet, eh? I bet you want that pattern for yourselves! Yes, this would be a big step up from my current carpeting pattern, a graphically similar arrangement of old Vanity Fair magazines.
