Kijiji Ad of The Day: Tip & Strip Pen

                                         Tip and Strip pen


Remember those pens they used to have back in the 80s or whatever. They sure were awesome. Your mean 4th grade teacher probably took it from you though, what a jerk. So you should get one of these in case you don't have enough money to hit up the Top Hat or if your battery on your phone goes dead all the time and you need a backup method of seeing naked girls.

Shop local and do the community proud.

This is perfect in every way.

Kijiji Ad of The Day: La-Z-Boy

                                          La-Z-Boy Recliner Couch


Good quality recliner by La-z-boy. We've had it for around 10 years, but it's still very comfortable and in good condition.
Free. You pick it up. I'll help load it.
No idiots offering me $3.50 in loose change to deliver it. Seriously, this happens all the time.

Love it.
However, to be fair, if what is on offer is a 10-year-old, kinda ugly piece of furniture, I wouldn't expect society's elite to be responding.

Kijiji Ad of the Day: Radio flyer tricycle trike

Radio flyer tricycle trike
Great car toy for your toddler kids baby boy girl. Undies sex gender neutral, only used indoor. Makes noise and music in mint condition, $45 non pet non smoke home.

"Undies"?  I hope there's nothing subliminal going on here.
"Makes noise and music in mint condition"  Good to know.  I insist that my noise and music be in at least near-mint condition. 

I Guess I Just Really Like Yacht Rock


Yeah, so I often play my YouTube playlist whilst using teh intrabwez.  
379 songs.  From an archaeological perspective it's interesting to scroll through the list and see "chunks" of songs from particular genres, bands or eras.  Sometimes these arise from it occurring to me that I would like to hear Forgotten Song X and then the list gets plumped up with other songs from the sidebar, or another person's playlist. Everybody knows about The YouTube Wormhole.

One morning I added a shit ton of Yacht Rock songs.  It started with Hey Nineteen by Steely Dan which, of course, led to more Steely Dan. The stuff in the sidebar led to lots of "They played that?  I love that song" moments and, on that particular morning I was indiscriminate.
Player
Christopher Cross
10CC
Pablo Cruise
Fucking Ambrosia

But no Toto. I have some standards.

Anyway, the soon-to-be-acclaimed Amy Jones tweeted something innocuous a few days ago that launched me into a "VIOLENT FEMMES!  I FORGOT ABOUT THOSE GUYS" thing.  Two hours and another couple dozen songs later I had buried the Yacht Rock, a little bit, at least.

Task done, I got to work on something else, but I clicked the Go button to have my new/old finds play in the background.  Within a few hours the Yacht Rock has resurfaced, and it was the best thing I had heard all day. That was a tough truth to learn.
Still, watch this and tell me if the Burton Cummings-looking guy doesn't KILL it with the sax.

Construction Time Again

I doubt that anything will ever reach the levels of idiocy that The City of Thunder Bay set a few summers ago...2013 or 2014...when Fort William Rd., May St., Balmoral St. and Golf Links Rd. were all under construction, at one place or another, at the same time.  That's four adjacent, parallel North-South arteries simultaneously compromised. Who didn't enjoy having to use two or three of those streets in order to cross town?

It looks as if the pieces are falling into place to have a go at that, however, with N. Cumberland St all torn up and the northern-most block of Algoma St out of action, it's probably just a matter of time before a hole and some yellow signs materialize on Court St.  How can it not happen?

Advanced Taxonomy


Garbage Pickers Taxonomy

No. 8 is a real puzzler.
Is it some kind of cult activity, this cord removal?
Or is he just an asshole that likes to ruin appliances?
We may never find out for sure...
