Have your cake and eat it too

Why do airlines assume that just because someone orders a vegetarian meal that by default, they must not like real desserts?? Vegetarians like cake too dammit, enough with the crappy ass fruit salad already.

Urban jungle

You try to blend in, pretending that you are one of us, quite stealthily that is, until you open your mouth and tell me how much you love expresso. I’m onto you suburbanite ;)

Who came up with that name?

We often watch the tv in our staff lunch room and I can't help but notice the various shitty daytime commercials on the CBC. There is one for this stairlift company that helps seniors unable to navigate stairs anymore get up and down the stairs safely. The strange thing is, is that the company is called "Acorn"...who in the hell came up with that name? Acorns fall...Eeesh.

I love you guys!

Some of you may have read about the saga of my beloved Cole Haan peeptoe heels and the Korean shoe repair bastard who ruined them. Well, I e-mailed the Cole Haan service department and told them the story, sent them the link to my blog post as well as 4 pictures of the heel damage. They were more than apologetic, said that the posting was ‘well-written and amusing’ and said that of course they stand behind their product. I had a brand spankin’ new pair of black peeptoe heels arrive at my office today, YAY *happy dance* Cole Haan friggin’ rocks long time, worth every penny.

Songs that I may or may not have been conceived to

So a group of federal Liberal party members and myself were sitting around at the pub today and the above topic came up (after many, many pitchers of beer mind you.) We all whipped out our mobile devices and started looking up the top songs the year before we were all born. To my shock/horror/amusement I realized that the top song around 9 months before my birth was “The Gambler”, by Kenny Rogers…dear lord is all I have to say on that one.
