So here’s the first outraged Canadian celebrity to respond to the douchbaggery of Fox News. Let’s hope there’s more. I think we are all kind of tired of being told that we live in igloos and ride dog sleds and give every US military deserter a free marijuana cigarette on their way over the border. If anything, let’s please hear some original jokes. I’m offended not just as a Canadian (and former civilian employee of the CF) but as someone with a sense of humour.
I got kind of angry when some morons on Fox News made some comments about our Canadian soldiers that are fighting, nobly and bravely, in Afghanistan. I may have said some swears. I may or may not have mentioned fire bombing. That is not the issue. The issue I would like to discuss at the moment is how much the people at Fox News resemble Internet trolls.
The following is an interview with Kevin Smith, where he talks about how stupid people on the Internet shouldn’t make you angry just because they call you a fag or say they don’t like your movie. Similarly, the cowards on Fox News shouldn’t make us angry because we’re all deserters and we’re all too pussy to fight the real war (because as we all know, Iraq–not Afghanistan–is the war that’s justified by 9/11). We should ignore them, and ignore them we shall.
My brother let me blog a recent lunch on the condition that I allow him creative license and a small copyright notice. This is just one of the, ahem, interesting lunches he likes to make when no one makes him a sammich.
Eve: my mom is trying to get rid of the Italian cake my dad bought on the way home yesterday Eve: it is the most disgusting cake ever baked Eve: it’s my aunt c’s birthday cake Eve: and also an abomination Eve: really, really disgusting Eve: like it made me feel nauseated to eat it The Beau: what type of cake is it The Beau: is it hard? The Beau: or just taste bad Eve: it is the worst of everything Eve: it is supposed to be a cheesecake, but because it is so bad it is a special insult The Beau: which country is known for its cakes? The Beau: i guess germany has a black forest chocolate cake Eve: ya Eve: ok so here are the parts Eve: of the cheese cake Eve: the bottom is a white sponge cake The Beau: ok Eve: on the cheese cake, the bottom is a white sponge cake The Beau: that is weird Eve: not a graham cracker crumb crust or whatnot The Beau: i find your indignation somewhat comedic Eve: then on top of that there is a cheesecake flavoured mush that is not at all textured like cheesecake The Beau: i see Eve: then on top of that there is a gummy plastic strawberry-flavoured gelatin The Beau: i see Eve: with a layer of strawberries that tasted like they were freeze dried and then remoistened Eve: and the “icing” on the circumference was the worst The Beau: did the cake come in a box Eve: it tasted like you might expect a freshly showered foreskin would taste The Beau: it reminds me of that chinese apple pie thing with david cross Eve: and it was textured that way as well The Beau: freshly showered foreskin? The Beau: is that good or bad Eve: it was like a marshmallow holocaust The Beau: i see Eve: like the icing had physically gassed jews* The Beau: ok now you are going over the top
* My brother thinks this is racist, but I disagree. I am saying that is the worst thing I can think of! So really, it’s kind of a compliment.**
Eve:http://www.tejo.org/eo/ps_map_francio The Beau: are these places to avoid in france Eve: they are places in france where esperantists are willing to give other esperantists a guest room for free The Beau: so they ARE places to avoid Eve:
A little porcelain gnome-like figure with his trousers down, defecating somewhere in the nativity scene. Children enjoy looking for the little guy, who is often hidden among the more traditional items…. Caganer has been offering his unique presents to the nativity scene since at least the middle of the 18th or 19th century…
Tio de Nadal or Caga Tió:
A log, painted with a smiley face and cared for after El Dia de Inmaculada, which is December 8. Then, either on Christmas Day or Christmas Eve (it varies), the children beat the log (and throw him into the fire, if they have one) and sing songs enticing it to ’shit some presents’.
