Your favorite conductor sucks.
Of course, there is the usual Arts/Sports double standard at work: the newspaper doesn't seem to mind if sports columnist Terry Pluto trashes Cleveland Browns quarterback Derek Anderson, or the Indians
Maybe the orchestra is having a better year?

it's pointless slaughter, it's not even sports.
Yes, and it's a message to all the "Eddie the Eagles" and "Jamacian Bobsled Teams" and "Australian Curlers"---you know you have no business being here, so here's your ass on a platter, now get out and come back when you know how to play.

Julie, Don't Go!
If you like Canadian comedy, you should check out Dr. Bundolo's Pandemonium Medicine Show, a radio series from the 70's that I thought was hilarious. The one thing I remember most went something...like....this:
Kid: OWWW! OUCH!
Adult: Stop complaining! Don't be such a baby!
Kid: You're hurting me!!Leave me alone! OW OW OW
Adult: Shut up, slacker! Get moving! You're doing it all wrong!... [more]

Olympic fireworks digitally faked.
I loved the smiley face fireworks. Please tell me those weren't faked.
I saw the same smiley face fireworks in Boston on July 4th; then again, you can't really trust them Americans neither, eh?

They insist it is not a gimmick.
The idea is that we live in the museum as their guests, and at the same time we are hosting lice on our heads," said artist Vincent Grunwald, 23, wearing a plastic shower cap to prevent the lice from spreading.
Wearing shower caps?? I may not know art, but I know a pathetic cop out when I see one.

Art is whatever the artist says it is.
As compelling a justification as, when having a discussion/arguement, someone hits you with the "...but that's my opinion" card, thereby trumping all your arguements automatically.

"To feel for a feller’s eyestrings and make him tell the news"
I think all you need to know about Southern fightin' can be summed up in this excert from Hillbilly Hare:
BUGS: (Singing.) Grab a fence post, hold it tight,
Womp your partner with all your might.
Hit him in the shin, hit him in the head,
Hit him again, the critter ain't dead.
Wop him low and wop him high,
Stick your finger in his eye.

Voyageur: Canada's Guitar
Here's a similar built guitar, built by University of Guelph Professor Dr. Doug Larson, that was inspired by the Six String Nation guitar. "He's used wood from trees he's studied, like the ancient cedars of the Niagara Escarpment, ivory from extinct mammoths, fossilized fish, turtle shell, and hundreds of other components"
Check out the CBC radio show Quirks and Quarks (scroll down to "Six String Science")... [more]

How to Tie a Tie: The Pursuit of the Perfect Tie Knot
I have never been able to tie a tie:
My father showed me how.
My brother showed me how.
My father-in-law showed me how.
I watched videos.
I go the manufacuter's instructions.
....and all have failed.
I wore ties to work for years, and I was unable, over those thousands of days, to tie my own tie.
I had my brother tie up all my ties, and I would just slip them... [more]

Gates farewell
Compared to what Gates *could* do with his money, he hasn't accomplished jack.
What he could do is *nothing*.
Compared to what most of us 'regular people' *could* do, are we better or worse than his effort (relatively speaking, of course).

"There's an old joke that says that when news got out that Jesus walked across the surface of the Sea of Galilee in a storm, met his disciples who were struggling in a boat and then even rescued one of them from drowning, the headlines the next day didn't read 'Jesus Walks On Water', but read in large type 'Jesus Can't Swim!'

Zed Shaw freaks out on the Ruby/Rails community.
What a trainwreck.
Sure people would contact me for their tiny little start-ups, but I’d eventually catch on that they just want to use me to implement their ideas.
No wonder he can't find any work, who would accept a job working for some company that was only interested in using your skill and knowledge to help them produce whatever they're producing.

Things Other People Accomplished When They Were Your Age
At age 46....
Isabel Bevier became the first person to use a thermometer for meat cooking
I'm 46, and still stick my finger or tongue into the meat to see if it's done, and it smarts like hell.
And to think at 46, Isabel was using a thermo meter...I feel like I've accomplished nothing.

I was at the same show! At the Palais du Congres in Hull if memory serves, it was the same night as Men At Work playing at the Civic Centre....tough decision!

Unlike Catholic churches, for example, we don't receive any support from the "mother ship." Quite to the contrary, most synagogues must pay their own memberhship dues to their parent organizations.
...err, we get nothing from the "mother ship", and pay a minimum 13% tax to our "parent organization" on ALL money collected...

How about all the editing on the cartoons now? The most dissapointing to me was when during the square dance in "Hillbilly Hare", the following has been (at least the ones I've seen) removed:

Oh, That Awful Racket
Do they realize that rock began years before their first listed date (1962), in the United States? A history of rock thing that omits Elvis and Chuck Berry isn't actually about the history of rock.
The series chooses to draw a distinction between Rock (starting with The Who, Stones, Kinks, etc. reinterpreting the blues) and Rock & Roll - Elvis et al
All your concerns met with the 1977 BBC... [more]
