Wow, that is one beautiful German Shepherd.
The cops aren’t bad either, although with these undercover guys and my myopia it’s hard to tell them from the perps until they get right close. They’ve got the wardrobe down pat.

Quote o’ the Day: The Man
This is the smartest thing I’ve heard in ages. From tonight’s meeting of The Shebeen Club.
Me: “And I’m all, like, fuck The Man!”
Ian: “You know, sometimes The Man just needs a little foreplay.”
Sponsor Shave for a Cure 2008
As longtime readers know, we at the ol’ raincoaster blog are nothing but a big softie, however much we way threaten you with our tentacles and fangs and use the first-person plural at times; we are just trying to be inclusive of our alter personalities, that’s all. And as an expression of this innner softie-tude, we present the following announcement, from regular commenter Lydia:
This is my youngest brother who, when he was born with Downs, was not expected to live for more than 6 months. He just turned 47! So there! Lydia

Sensible Shopper Strikes Again!
Now, I have my good points. Among these is my ability to shop. I’m not just a tireless shopper; I’m not just a savvy shopper; I think it fair to say that I am, in fact and in actuality, an expert shopper. If I can’t get it for you at 50% off or in exchange for something you have lying around the garage, it does not exist.
So, it is a fact universally acknowledged that a savvy shopper at the subsistence level of poverty in possession (however temporary) of a hundred bucks and change, must be in search of some highly practical purchases.
at Winners:
- pink lace bra from France $19 marked down from $100
- blue lace over green satin bra from France $19 marked down from$95
- banal beige utility bra to partially justify purchase of the above $9 marked down from who gives a rat’s ass?
- “Olive or Twist,” a book of cocktail cartoons from the New Yorker $5.99 marked down from $39
- large wooden sign reading “IMAGINE” $14 marked down from who cares? I had to have it.
additionally:
- 1 bottle Jack Daniels for medicinal purposes $28, full price
- 1 small bottle Martini & Rossi Italian vermouth for flavouring purposes $7, full price
- 1 bottle bitters $9
Yep, nobody can say I’m not a practical shopper! And tomorrow, if there’s any left, I’ll get groceries!
It’s snowing, YAY!
That is all.
