Babbling Brooks: Lame-O

Lame-O

Babble on.

Penny's talking car-racing again. Blegh. Tarantino's rehashing the backless g-string story. Not that I don't want those images to stay top-of-mind for as long as possible, but you can only look at pictures of women modeling skimpy lingerie for so long before your wife disowns you. Aldini's on drinking games, Meat's talking basketball, Shannon's ranting about the Olympics, PolSpy is shredding The Star for restricting web-access.

Is there no news out there?

Ah, Occam's Carbuncle on Ibbitson's idiocy regarding Atlantic Canada:

We're happy to have immigrants, but we poor white folk would be just fine all on our own if we could get the infantilizing socialist policies of our federal and provincial governments off our backs. Can you do that for us, John? I bet the immigration numbers would pick up. Then maybe we'd be multicultural enough to warrant the blessings of our comrades in the Centre of the Universe.

Journalist blood in the water. That's much better.

Babble off.

Then there's that tech writing I've been putting off. And then there's the photos I still haven't finished doing the post-processing on for the wedding I was at last weekend.

Argh.

I suppose my wife will want to see me at some point too.

Double argh.

You didn't enjoy reading about Aldini's drinking game?

I'm an Ontario redneck who hopes Alberta will invade and occupy Ontario sometime in the next week or so. I'm a proud Papa Bear to Boo and Mini-Boo. My wife Litlbit is sexy. I'm not very. I'm a small-c conservative. You want to know more, start reading the blog. Oh, I almost forgot. I believe most problems can be solved with weaponry of a high enough calibre. Take me seriously at your own peril.
