It would not surprise me if they put Connie in a same sex relationship. She goes to college meets a nice girl, Kahn initially acts as if it’s a phase but eventually comes to accept the girlfriend (50% chance it’s because of her personality 50% chance it’s because her parents are more important then Chane's parents).

Why is something called Lisa Frankenstein not just a Frankenstein retelling with Lisa Frank aesthetics (undead neon unicorns!). 

The ending of Harris and Me is the only piece of fiction that has made me cry and it gets me every damn time I’ve read it. 

If I was somebody higher up in Google I’d just get the folks down in R&D to make me a little program that called up Bing searched for Google then repeated over and over again. You know just to mess with the folks at Bing.

Best use of sweetened condensed milk is as the white layer of layered rainbow jello. Only issue is that nobody will make it for me because it takes too long, and if I make it for myself then people expect me to share.

That random orbit sander might be a little overkill but I swear by my 1/4 sheet palm sander for removing calluses. I find if I don’t sand down my heals about once a week they split badly. So I figure why spend a lot of time with a emery board which is basically a sanding block when I can throw a sheet of 120 grit in…

I wouldn’t pat yourself too hard on the back, while “the soft bristles will enclose without hurting the little guy”, depending on the spider tossing them outside will probably be a death sentence.

I kind of hope she gives Canadian Border Services a reason to stop her coming into Canada just to add to her commute. Though I’m certain somebody with a boat and a hatred of masks would be willing to give her a lift.

I feel bad for Perseverance, you travel 289 million km to look at some cool rocks only to have to stand around and watch your kid goof off.

That’s no angel, that’s a yo mama joke... (with apologies to everybody’s mamas) “Yo mama so fat that when she falls, even in the reduced gravity of Mars, she leaves an impact crater.”

For the sake of curiosity I’ve being trying to figure out what part of the board the examples came from. The two at the top are easy (partly because as they are the same phone just different sizes), that bit comes from just right of the words Apple Computer 1 on the board. The one in the video though I’ve got no clue…

How about Geoffrey Palmer his death didn’t seem get much mention at the time (being 2 days after the American election probably didn’t help) but he was a great actor.

CBC’s As It Happens covered this story last week and the amount of times the host said boiled chicken made me giggle like a small child (in my defense he was playing up how “good” boiled chicken is).

May I suggest the “exciting” world of seed saving. It’s as easy as it sounds, instead of buying new seeds every year save seeds from this years plants and grow more plants next year. In all seriousness though, if you are growing the same varieties every year it can be a way to avoid having to find a new supplier. Plus…

Between Steam always wanting to update everything and my shitty rural Canadian internet speeds I really need to plan out a few days in advance when I want to play something I already own let alone download something new.

If I may, I’d like to throw out another suggestion for pen pals: friends you don’t get to see or talk to much. As part of a scheme to help fight my writers block (ten years and counting!), I’ve started writing a monthly letter to one of my friends who lives on the opposite side of the country. Its a nice way to keep…

I’m not saying it isn’t Stalkers but the tour guilds proof seems to be, we don’t like them and the fires start near paths that they walk on. As opposed to other arsonists that make sure they walk off the beaten path before they start a fire. 

I bet that all the old medicines used to work, but just as modern bacteria has become resistant to antibiotics, ancient bacteria became resistant to “wolf’s liver, administered in mulled wine”. Or it was just the placebo effect.

According to my 5 year old, my old D&D 3.5 Monster Manual is one of the greatest books of all time.

We’ve been playing Hero Kids with my son (5) as a starter table top game. We used Hero Forge to design his character, then I took a screenshot and turned it into a colouring page (printed the screenshot out and used carbon paper to transfer the major lines onto a fresh page, then scanned it and fixed the lines in…
