Here’s what happens when a customer goes a little bat-shit insane. I haven’t heard his side of things, but according to the girl who was working the guy came in with a game he had bought the day before. He said it wasn’t working, and when she tried to explain to him that [...]

Halloween Plans for 20 Years
Posted on November 1, 2008 - Filed Under Amused, Life, kids | Leave a Comment
Chloe was a princess this year for Halloween for a party she went to and for the school dress-up thing too. At night it was too cold to just wear the princess dress though so she went out as a bunny again. Her costume from last year still barely fit her. As [...]

Here’s a little gem I just had to share. A few months ago while Jan was still in the hospital, I took Chloe to visit her and she asked the nurses for some paper to draw on. She drew all sorts of things as usual, houses, people, flowers and stuff. And this, [...]

Between a lot of houses in town being for sale and a whole bunch more proclaiming their support for this councilor or that mayoral candidate, there’s barely an empty lawn to be seen. Not forgetting those people who are lucky enough to run a home based business, which of course needs signage as well.

ListBuilding With Tellman Knudson - Scam?
Posted on September 15, 2008 - Filed Under Amused, Business, Internet, Spam/Scam | 4 Comments
The last time an internet opportunity reeked this bad was when the RFS was floating heavily around the internet. The famous ‘beach bum’ pulling in millions an hour by suckering poor individuals into coughing up a $50 “tire kicker weeder outer fee” and then being told that in order to make money they had [...]

I got a call this afternoon, around quarter to 5, asking to speak to either Jan or myself. I was then informed that it was Big Brothers/Big Sisters calling to let me know that our name came up in their monthly draw, the prize being either a trip for 2 to Montreal, or $1000! [...]

If you’ve ever wanted to go to Atlanta now could be your chance. There’s a contest going on at iCoke.ca and you could win a trip to Atlanta Georgia for you and 3 of your friends/relatives. It’s only open to Canadian residents (I’m so tired of seeing contests that are only available to [...]

The time is almost upon us again when the crappyspectacular exhibition comes to town. Most years lately I don’t even bother to go and this year will probably be no different. Even Chloe is 4 now and should enjoy something like that, I know she won’t go on any rides and will probably [...]

I should confess up front that I’m not a coffee drinker, I do however love the smell and other things which are coffee flavored, ice cream being at the top of that little list. There’s some.. uhmm.. interesting? little videos at Friends4Coffee.ca, a website that appears to be made for or sponsored by McDonald’s. [...]

Take this as a warning to never put electronics in a microwave, I knew bad things would happen but this is pretty crazy. The results are cool though I gotta say, as long as there’s a shotgun or an exorcist nearby you may be reasonably safe.

It’s only been a couple months since I last mentioned this, but I’ve already added 3 more bags to my unofficial luggage set. All 3 from people who brought in a bunch of stuff to sell and then either forgot or didn’t want their bag back. The last was a small Briggs and [...]

When I went to Asia, as with any trip to a foreign country, I had to bring back lots of little gifts for friends and family members. One that stands out in my mind is a Nike pocket watch I got for my brother. He can’t wear a regular wrist watch because he [...]
