Co-opted, or Co-mmando?

Sometimes it can be hard to tell the change agents from the uncle toms. Like with Squiddy here…

  1. Hilarious!

    BTW, I should have read this before I attempted to answer the Chicken Out “Guess this book and win a free soda” contest.

    Question:

    What was the first American novel to sell one million books?

    Answer:

    Uncle Tom’s Cabin.

    Maybe if I saw the words Uncle Tom I would have associated that with…oh never mind. Trying to dig for synchronicity. How sad of me!

  2. And I’m having tea.

    We at the ol’ raincoaster blog are proud to be the home of charming inebriates everywhere! Welcome (and bring a bottle!).

  3. I am trying…feel free to drop hints to sites that ship booze to Canada.

    I think I’m going to have to hit Uncle K up for more money!

  4. Site that ship booze to Canada? Dunno of any. Best bet is to use the internet and order up a delivery from a site within Canada, but it’s expensive.

    I say, concentrate on the hand delivery. Then we can sail in the morning, rollerblade the seawall, and take the luxury train up to Whistler where we ski in the evening and party all night. Pass out on the train home. Doesn’t that sound like a nice vacation?

  5. Wow, that sounds fantastic. Ok – what season shouldn’t I visit? I assume most of the year is nice.

    Hmm, this reminds me. My best friend in Belgium is Canadian. I’ve been trying to track her down. I guess I haven’t tried hard enough. She is either from Alberta or Calgary.

  6. I have her letters — I should look at the address again. Actually her mother’s name is Lorraine and she was a piano teacher! One time she lectured me: “I’d never let you touch my piano keys with those long nails!”

    Hmph!
