This Could Only have Come from a Man

For those of you who don't read The Sneeze, check out this Marriage Contract.

On an unrelated note, I just thought of ONE bad thing about winter. I have to carry my heavy winter jacket everywhere at school. Also, I have to wear it to work, then it hangs there while I work, and then it smells like Subway forever!! But that's the only bad thing I've thought of about winter so far.

Pubcrawl

Well, SADD had its first pubcrawl tonight! I think it was a pretty good success for that small of a pubcrawl. Here's the details:

We had 25 people. If you have 50 or more, the pubcrawl is free. Ours was not. We were told the pubcrawl would be $125...we paid a $50 deposit...we had a $50 off coupon...so we calculated that it would cost us $25, to be paid the night of the pubcrawl. We get there, he's like, "Ok, $75" And we're like, "what?" Turns out the $50 is not a deposit against the pubcrawl, it was only for the purposes of ensuring that we didn't wreck the bus. We were confused. So, the pubcrawl cost us $50 more than we expected. We had ordered 30 t-shirts and were selling tickets for $10 with a t-shirt and $5 without a t-shirt. So, thank-god everything worked out. What happened is, everyone wanted the $5 tickets. Which actually worked out in the end. Those tickets managed to cover most of the $75 cost of the pubcrawl. We still have 15 shirts left over which we can now sell just on their own for $10. So, if we can sell those, then we will definitely break-even, if not make a little bit of money. So, in the end, our club did not go completely under due to this pubcrawl.

And I think everyone had fun. I sure learned some interesting things. Like Brooke's DJ friend has a hot girlfriend whom Brooke once made out with. Good to know Brooke, good to know.

So in conclusion...Does anyone want a t-shirt?? Only $10!!!!!

I've included some shitty webcam images of the t-shirts.




P.S. Pilot, if you buy one of mine, I'll buy one of yours!

Contest!!!

I just wanted to remind everyone about my contest. The only entries I have received so far are the one's you've seen in the comments of my blog as well as one I received by Danny through e-mail. And Danny, that's just not going to cut it. Sorry. :(

So get your funny bones working and think of some great jokes!!!!!

Dress Kevin

He couldn't decide what to wear, so he made a website:

Tug of War

That's right! It used to be an Olympic Sport! I can't believe they got rid of it! I say we start a campaign to return Tug of War back to the Olympics! Who's with me?

I LOVE WINTER

That's right. It's my favourite season. And for all you pussies out there...IT'S NOT THAT COLD OUTSIDE.

Seriously...dress for the weather and you can stay outside for hours!!!! Today, it was about -44 degrees with windchill. Here's what I wore:

• Undies, Socks, etc.
• Pants
• Ski Pants
• Boots
• T-Shirt
• Fleece
• Heavy Winter Coat (with hood up)
  
• One pair of mitts
• One toque

That is all. The only cold spot on my body was my eyes...and I can't cover them because I need them to see. It's all about layers people. Dress properly and respect the cold. You'll never get frostbite and you'll learn just how great it is to go outside and and enjoy winter!!

Winter is great. There's no bugs, you get to watch people fall on their asses...hell, you get to fall on your own ass!! It's great. No ones cares about what they look like, they just dress to survive. It's a time to separate the men from the boys (and the women from the girls).

And yeah, my house is FUCKING COLD. I don't care. I have an electric blanket and a space heater. That keeps me warm. In desperate situations, I turn my oven on and open the door. Hell, I'm not paying for electrical or heating.

So, for all you whiners out there who've lived in Saskatchewan your whole life, I say to you:

Yes, we've had a mild winter and that's great. But don't bitch when we get ONE WEEK of NORMAL winter conditions. I'm sure you'll survive. If not, I can bring you a soother and your blankie next time I see you.

Cheap Candy

Well, Valentine's Day is over, so valentine's candy is cheap. I bought some of the hearts with sayings on them. What the hell is with the sayings nowadays??? Check some out:

• Not Now
• Take Five
• A Ok
• Slow Down
• Bye Bye

Somehow these hearts have turned into break-up candy.

Scoooooooore

I totally bombed Pilot from his own computer!!!

Nothing Much

Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one who hasn't seen that episode of the Simpson. The answer was indeed, pulling the drawstring through Homer's swimsuit.

Not too much to say. I'm back in Weyburn for a just a couple of days. I'll be heading back on Wednesday as I work then. I have to get some stuff done here, because I have a HUGE to do list for the break. The most important is that I have a 15-page paper due. So, that I will be working on once I get back to Saskatoon. Hopefully it should be dead and I should be able to do some work when I'm there.

Anyway, I seriously have nothing to blog about. Just figured I'd update that Simpsons answer.

GO CANADA!!!!!

Olympics

Well, the games have begun. Canada has 196 athletes competing and has set a goal of 25 medals.

Personally, I prefer the winter games, as it has some of my favourite sports to watch...namely curling and figure skating. And I like other ones too. But those two are my favourite.

Another great thing...they landed right during February break...so all I have to do all day is sit on my ass and watch the Olympics! Whoooo!!

So, today was a tough Simpson's question. However, I think it's because I haven't seen this episode...I'm not sure. You guys give it a try:

In "A Star is Born Again", the night before the Simpsons spend the day at the beach, Marge stays up doing what?

1. Stuffing her hair into a bathing cap
2. Fishing out the drawstring of Homer's bathing suit
3. Slathering sunblock on Maggie
4. Making a few picnic baskets

Administration

So, it occurred to me that there are some blogs that I read, and some people who have blogs who read mine, who were not in my list of links on the right. I have rectified that. Once again, all is in alphabetical order. If you think you should be on there and you're not, give me a shout!

You Know You're Living Away from Home When...

You have licorice, cheezies, oreos, and root beer for supper.

Democracy and the Party System - Part I

This is a new feature I've started. Basically, I'm just going to post excerpts from a speech by Tanzanian President Julius Nyerere. It is about how democracy works in Africa, particularly Tanzania, using a one-party system rather than a multi-party system.

---

...Democracy, in Africa or anywhere else, is Government by the People. Ideally, it is a form of government whereby the people - ALL the people - settle their affairs through free discussion. The appropriate setting for this basic, or pure, democracy is a small community. The city states of Ancient Greece, for example, practiced it. And in African society, the traditional method of conducting affairs is by free discussion. Mr. Guy Clutton-Brock, writing about a typical African village community puts it neatly in the sentence I quoted at the beginning: "The Elders sit under the big tree, and talk until they agree..." In larger communities, however, government by the people is possible only in a modified form.

After pure democracy, the next best thing is Government by the People's Representatives. Where it is the affairs of several million people that are to be settled by discussion, it is obviously not possible for all the people to come together and take a direct part in the discussion. So, instead, we have a parliament in which a number of spokesmen, or Representatives, conduct the discussion on their behalf. And if these Representatives are truly to represent the people, they must be freely chosen by the people from among themselves. So free elections are the essential instruments of Representative Democracy.

The purpose of a general election, then, is to elect these People's Representatives. But, because of the historical circumstances of the countries in which Representative Democracy has been most highly developed, such elections are usually organized on a party basis. The electorate is offered a choice between contending parties. It could be said that the object is not so much to elect Representatives as to elect a Representative Party. The countries where this system works most successfully are those which have two major political parties...

I am now going to suggest: that, where there is one party, and that party is identified with the nation as a whole, the foundations of democracy are firmer than they can ever be where you have two or more parties, each representing only a section of the community!...

To Be Continued...

Stuff

Well, I'm glad to know that no one else could get that answer either.

Rod's other hobby is: Diabetes

Definitely a tough one!!!!

So anyway, I've been bombing Pilot a lot, as he continously keeps insulting me. Dave got one hit because of the whole "Pilot's my brother" factor. And another for the Star Wars thing I believe. But otherwise, I've kinda been bombing Pilot. All on a case-by-case basis...not because I've joined the CCCP team. Maybe if he did make it the communist CCCP, I might join. We'll see.

Anyway, I've gotta go do some taxes. Just wanted to get an update in. I have something special coming up, so watch for that. I just don't have time right at the moment to get it typed out. So maybe later tonight, who knows!?
