You either pay attention or pay through the nose. I would rather pay attention.
Not much more needs to be said other than the U.N. is crapping on Canada stating that we are a nation with too much child hunger and as such can’t preach about human rights in other nations.
The U.N. can kiss my lily white ass. Go find a third world country to bitch about you hypocrites.
Just because it’s well done and talks about being “screwed” this one gets on the site.
I am wholeheartedly encouraged by this story.
Networking computers to increase processing power is nothing new. But three of the world’s biggest tech giants, Google, Facebook and Amazon are looking to develop a game for your smartphone that is both fun but let’s you help in the search for cancer curing drugs.
Scientists from a British cancer charity are teaming up with technology gurus from the likes of Amazon, Facebook and Google to design and develop a mobile game aimed at speeding the search for new cancer drugs.
The project, led by the charity Cancer Research UK, should mean that anyone with a smart phone and five minutes to spare will be able to investigate vital scientific data at the same time as playing a mobile game.
The game is slated to come out mid 2013.
Kudos to these companies. They are OfficiallyAwesome for doing this.
My company has season tickets to the Ottawa Senators so we get the advance invites to buy tickets for various events showing up in our town. Today we received invitations for Oprah Winfrey and MÖTLEY CRÜE.
MÖTLEY CRÜE tickets are going for around $58. And Oprah Winfrey’s are going for $355. Read more
I drive through McDonalds this morning and order two round eggs and three sausage patties for breakfast. (A good old Atkins breakfast). I pull up to the pay window and the cashier turns to me and she says “How can you eat all that pork. Don’t you know it’s the leading cause of cancer?”
I didn’t know what to say and to leave me speechless is a pretty difficult thing to do.
Any comments?
For those of you who have seen the commercial where the elderly woman is telling the young man about different items in a pharmacy and says “This one heats up, and this one tingles and this one is minty”, etc etc. And it ends up being a gum commercial.
Well when the young man leaves, the shot of the pharmacy, called Surrey Drug Mart which is in a little plaza where a great little pub called KCMcFly’s is. I used to hang out there and play trivia on the NTN network a couple of nights a week back in the early 90’s.
Nice to know it is still there.
This may not be interesting to most of you, but tough noogies. It’s my blog and I want to point this out because it was a part of my life and I like the gum commercial.
A photo is worth a thousand words.
Are my American friends feeling OfficiallyScrewed?
If I’ve told people once, i’ve told them a thousand times. Budweiser beer simply sucks. I mean that from a professional standpoint. This is not a personal preference. This is strictly based on fact.
If you don’t believe me, believe ratebeer.com. This site rates every beer out there. If you think a beer is obscure, I bet you find it here and it has been rated.
Well over 3000 people have rated Budweiser and it rates 0. Yes you heard me. ZERO!!! It does have a rating of 3 for style but on a scale of one to 100, it rates ZERO!!!!
So for all you Bud fans out there. Either you have not expanded your taste horizons or you simply have poor taste in beer.
Budweiser beer OfficiallySucks!!

I read this article and immediately got sick to my stomach.
Most alarmingly, the (plastic bag) industry has highlighted news reports linking reusable shopping bags to the spread of disease. Like this one, from the Los Angeles Times last May: “A reusable grocery bag left in a hotel bathroom caused an outbreak of norovirus-induced diarrhea and nausea that struck nine of 13 members of a girls’ soccer team in October, Oregon researchers reported Wednesday.” The norovirus may not have political clout, but evidently it, too, is rooting against plastic bags.
Warning of disease may seem like an over-the-top scare tactic, but research suggests there’s more than anecdote behind this industry talking point. In a 2011 study, four researchers examined reusable bags in California and Arizona and found that 51 percent of them contained coliform bacteria. The problem appears to be the habits of the reusers. Seventy-five percent said they keep meat and vegetables in the same bag. When bags were stored in hot car trunks for two hours, the bacteria grew tenfold.
That study also found, happily, that washing the bags eliminated 99.9 percent of the bacteria. It undercut even that good news, though, by finding that 97 percent of people reported that they never wash their bags.
Can we finally just admit that fresh plastic bags is the safe, sanitary way to transport the stuff we put into our children’s mouths??
Even George Carlin knows that a little bit of plastic is NOT going to have much of an effect on the planet.
I visited the official Tour de France website and searched for “Armstrong” and only one article came up and his name was in a sideline quote, not the main point.
Then I went to Wikipedia to look at the winners of the tour through history and saw this. (Note: The gap from 1999 to 2006 is pretty glaring.)
Pick your heroes wisely.
