It’s sentences like the above that remind me why I love Gwynne Dyer. We need more thinkers like him in our world. I can’t stress that enough.

So my friend Matt was in town this weekend. He’s a machinist, which is a trade I don’t entirely understand. I’ve heard it described as “like a carpenter, but with metal and plastic instead of wood” which is kind of vague. Matt tells me he fixes things.
Last time he was in town, I asked him about the craziest thing he has ever fixed. He said something about the...

Scrambled eggs and toast make the hangover go away.
I hope Matt is alive. His stuff is here and that would make me a suspect if anything happened. I’m sure he’s fine.

Mom: you’ve never previously mentioned him. Me: that’s because I buy druuuuuuu*thinking*uuuuuuahgon and dungeon stuff from him. Dragons and Dungeons. Yeah. It’s very embarrassing and I prefer not to talk about it. Mom: you don’t do that thing where you dress up and go outside like that, do you? So now my mom thinks I play dungeons and dragons and that it’s called...

Last night, before bed
My brain: man, you should eat a big chunk of cheese before bed because that always gives you trippy dreams.
Me: okay.
Later
So I’m at Holy Cross church at this guy’s funeral. I think I went to high school with him, but I’ve also never seen him before in my life. I think he had a hot sister, who I’ve also never seen before. My father told me they...

WTF?
Swiss Chalet to fire up 24-hour rotisserie chicken channel in Ontario
By The Canadian Press
TORONTO - For those of you tired of TV shows interrupting your commercials, Swiss Chalet has the answer: a 24-hour chicken channel. Starting Monday, the Canadian family restaurant fires up a constant televised loop of 12 roasters turning on a spit to promote the chain.
The 13-week broadcast will be...

More alien hilarity
Grey’s absorb energy through the pores in their epidermas. They soak in it and it is converted into energy. It is a pure bio-energy and they have nothing to excrete so they have no digestive system. They convert living tissue into a efficient soup. It is ironic that you used bread as an example to the Grey’s. because their nutrition is produced much the same way as you would make...

An exchange from my favourite message board
Person:
Buying medicine online. has anyone ever done this? obviously i know you shouldn’t self-diagnose but say you want to buy some over the counter meds or you have a prescription for something and want to find it cheaper. are there any sites out there that are reputable and offer good prices? I‘ve only ever seen sites that advertise via spam and that doesn’t make me feel...

the original human being was perfect, no diseases, long life, in harmony with nature, peaceful and happy and loving creatures then, the annunaki came…. they found out there’s gold here (or probably EARTH is too important for the universe as a whole), but they couldn’t get it because the original human beings were higher vibrating, the whole planet was higher vibrating, and...

Gold? Really? I understand wanting to use us for bizarre medical experiments, turning us into a slave race, anal probing for the lulz, adding humans to interstellar zoos, using us as hosts because they are parasites, visiting us because they created the human race and acted as our old gods or eating us because we taste good to them - but gold? Come on. That’s stupid.

Know what I just realized?
Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz could have been an awesome stoner. She goes on an epic journey for something that was basically in her hand the entire time (the shoes). How often do stoners look for things (lighters, whatever) that were in their hands the whole time anyways? Exactly.
Also, mad respect for the fairy godmother: the Wizard was gonna build her a hot air...

This is literally the best
Spent the better part of the afternoon watching this live webcam feed: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/subway-booting
It’s a Subway parking lot on Quinpool street, maybe a block from my house. This guy on a message board I frequent set it up. I guess the owner of the Subway gets really pissed when people park in his parking lot but don’t buy a sandwich, so he has security in the parking...

I am totally doing this.
Ever enter a social situation and someone asks “so, what do you do?” and you feel that the truth just won’t cut it? I’ve got a new answer, which is obviously a made up lie but it is an awesome made up lie.
I’m a ghostwriter. Yup, it’s perfect.

Oh look - An NES Great Gatsby video game from 1990
Remember 1990? Kids were so damn into that Great Gatsby. I remember all the parents groups were in an uproar, worried that their sons would become successful businessmen with shady pasts and their daughters would become flappers or something.
The game is really bad though. I only got as far as level two and then it was all “Game over, old sport!” I guess it’s fortunate that...
One of my favourite Super Hans moments, along with the episode where we learn about the twins.
I like to picture myself as a wacky messed up freak like Super Hans, but really I’m just a Mark Corrigan who smokes pot on occasion.
Mark Corrigan FTW

Ha! My favourite fictional drug is probably bananadine. I read the Anarchist’s Cookbook as a kid and actually thought you could get high off of smoked bananas for a long time.

So apparently Salvia is illegal now?

Or banned from sale but not enforced. Or something.
That’s too bad.
Guess I’m going to have to find other ways to play the transform-into-outer-space-hat-racks-for-five-minutes-at-a-time game.

DEBT OF HONOUR
Everyone was talking about how shit fanfiction is, so I decided to write a good one. Like any good fanfiction I’ve inserted myself as a character, but you’d have to be a Mary Sue in a Sherlock Holmes fanfic to recognize it.

Trying one more time to watch Spartacus: Blood and...
because they say the second season is better. It’s hard to watch this, but I’ve developed a method: I pretend they’re on the planet from the original Star Trek where it’s another planet that for some reason developed exactly like ancient Rome but with cheap plastic sets.
Watching Lucy Lawless get slave-banged in, like, every episode doesn’t hurt though.
Searched Tumblr for results containing the name of...
Results:
- a bunch of people I know from around have blogs. Weird.
- a picture of my brother and our aunt. WTF? I get that it’s a small town and all, but he doesn’t even live here. Very weird.
- Halifax 1917. A video game someone’s making about the Halifax Explosion. Very cool stuff.

What exactly is included in “ghetto juice”?
It’s just this really cheap juice made by Scotsburn. It’s mostly water and sugar. It’s not so great, but then you fill it up with vodka.
