ummm... you're kidding right?

observed while driving:

back during the big quebec seperation referendum, some enterprising person at a cab company in calgary put 'canada united' stickers with the flag on the back of all the cabs. the whole thing is surrounded by a border of maple leafs. what's so funny about that?

so much for all that work women's lib did. a cleaning service. on the back window of a car: "Wench's Cleaning". should i hope that was intentional? (and yes, i checked - they do not provide maid service dressed in skimpy attire.)


your day is better than this guy's. today as i was driving to work, i noticed a 5 tonne rental van that had smashed into a bridge side - missed the turn perhaps. so he's now blocking a 4 lane road. front of the truck smashed in. half embeded in concrete and rail. figure he must have been going fast - and he's at a bad angle. so.... i get a little closer as traffic moves and notice the car upside down underneath (which explains the odd angle). no one appeared to be seriously injured - the car wasn't crushed flat, and there were a lot of people standing around (i imagine since they couldn't get in to work with the bridge blocked). 2 minutes later emergency vehicles arrived, and my lane opened up.

my day? had meetings. guess it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be.


random & misc.

• in my quest for 'what happened to steve' i found out the major influence for his music (and indeed guest starring) was the flaming lips. they're pretty good. new band discovered.
• they might be giants did a guest spot on a blue's clues episode - they were amusing. a friend tried to get me interested years ago, but they didn't 'do' anything for me. i guess they're like a woody allen movie - you have to be of an age to appreciate them. turns out they're good too. (i've adopted their song "i be an retarded" as the theme song for a major project i'm working on).
• ok, you caught me - those were related items.
