You know what really grinds my gears? Those people who make a big mewling deal about the name “soccer”. It’s called soccer in North America. We have a football already so we call the other one soccer. Just deal with it. Those who insist on calling it football as if they

One late morning last week, seated in my motor-carriage and travelling to-wards a local restaurant in search of sustenance to break the night’s fast, I spotted a chunk of slush in the roadway. It being almost directly in my tire’s path I decided that the best slush is mushed slush

Sweet mother of god, it’s Tuesday already. The never ending holiday of angry traffic and wet socks took place over what seemed like a 13 day week. Then the “new year” and my own birth anniversary a week later. There’s more birthdays next week and then the flower holiday and

The skies are angry today, my friends. And whoever is setting the thermostat is a cruel bitch. -12C (10F) was the high today and snow has been falling by the trouserload. It’s coming down so hard on me I feel like that poop cam I left in the Arby’s lavatory. The

We played the babes of the bowling alley last Tuesday night. Usually they bowl in pyjamas. Tonight was a normal clothing affair, though. Mid twenties i would say, all of them. The rigours of age had yet to wear them down to the craggy, hump-backed crones that typically inhabit the

In these, the dog days of the bowling season, there isn’t much excitement floating around the lanes. Just wet feet and spilt beer mixed with fried dough and the pungent tang of one old lady’s A535. At least I hope that’s what’s emitting such a stench. To keep the mind

To continue where I left off last week: this latest new wave of Thai opera simply wouldn’t exist without the efforts of the “big three”, none of whom would or could have had the same impact without the other two. The conclusion being, of course, that if that land mine

If you can’t out-bowl ‘em, out-drink ‘em. That was the motto of my first bowling league, which I will describe in the absence of a league night recap. I was placed on the DL last week due to a non-bowling injury (illness). Rumour was it would have been a healthy

Sweet Mother Mary, winter is here and it’s a righteous goddamn hassle. While apparently the milk-baggers out east in this fine country are enjoying the 20 degree weather we basked in for the month of October, November has come in angry with a sharp thumb to the anus of western

I woke up naked in a hotel room on Sunday morning covered in milk. There was nary a carton in sight. It was a hell of a Halloween party. After a mind-numbingly dull week of work the chance to let loose and drink in the joy of the season was greatly
