Boonstock is this weekend. I've never been, and not going this year, but I see that it's on Google Maps.
You gotta admit it beats the new recruitment ad put out by the British Navy:
Hey, we got rid of the rum and the lash!
Selena Gomez in white hot pants & a bra top at her fragrance launch: too sexy? asks Celebitchy.com.
Uh, nope. Hot damn.
As the faggot parade/AIDS walk gets underway in Edmonton (complete with the irrational cheerleading you've come to expect), it's perhaps a good time to rain on their parade a little (since it is not, in fact, raining on their parade†):
In surveys conducted in 2002 and 2011, pollsters at Gallup found that members of the American public massively overestimated how many people are gay or lesbian. In 2002, a quarter of those surveyed guessed upwards of a quarter of Americans were gay or lesbian (or "homosexual," the third option given). By 2011, that misperception had only grown, with more than a third of those surveyed now guessing that more than 25 percent of Americans are gay or lesbian. Women and young adults were most likely to provide high estimates, approximating that 30 percent of the population is gay. Overall, "U.S. adults, on average, estimate that 25 percent of Americans are gay or lesbian," Gallup found. Only 4 percent of all those surveyed in 2011 and about 8 percent of those surveyed in 2002 correctly guessed that fewer than 5 percent of Americans identify as gay or lesbian.As you might guess, as the practitioners of a disgusting and inferior lifestyle celebrate their depravity today, I'll be doing something productive at home. Like re-painting my gun cabinet.
I thought the AIDS walk was held in September.
I tell ya, you really have to enjoy the old classics, and Third Edge of the Sword's semi-annual joke has really held its own.
Montreal's second most dangerous weirdo was arrested in Berlin earlier today:
Canadian investigators say 29-year-old Luka Magnotta's obsessions led him to post Internet videos of his killing kittens, then a man, and finally to his arrest at the cafe where he had spent two hours reading media coverage of himself.Montreal's most dangerous weirdo is still at loose in Northern Ontario.
An international manhunt set off by a case of Internet gruesomeness that captured global attention ended quietly in the working-class Neukoelln district of the German capital when a cafe employee recognized Magnotta from a newspaper photo and flagged down a police car.
Confronted by seven officers, "He tried at first giving fake names but in the end he just said: `You got me,'" said police spokesman Guido Busch. "He didn't resist."
EDMONTON — Albertans who are paid minimum wage will get a 35-cent raise in the fall, the province announced Thursday.No word on whether the Wildrose Party will condemn this from the side it should be condemned from
The hourly rate will rise to $9.75 per hour from $9.40, moving Alberta’s minimum wage from the lowest in the country to the second-lowest.
Those who serve liquor and receive tips will not get a raise; their hourly rate will stay at $9.05.
The Canadian government has increased the duty-free limits for Canadians visiting the U.S..
No change, sadly, to the ridiculously low booze limits.
