Smurfland

We get it, you were a volunteer during the Olympics. Well you know what? The games are over and you look like a complete idiot in your electric blue volunteer jacket. During the 17 days of the Olympics, I actually enjoyed the look of a colony of Smurfs descending upon our fair city, but now I think you all look like a bunch of tools. Surely you have another jacket in your wardrobe, how about you wear that instead? Oh and another thing...your staff/volunteer pass no longer gets you on the bus for free, your glory days are over, so stop arguing with the bus driver and pay your bus fare like the rest of us.

JJ's Paralympic Torch experience aka I'm definitely going to hell

There was quite a crowd on the corner of Georgia and Granville this afternoon decked out in their Canada gear, frantically clanging their cowbells. We stopped to take part in the fun as it would be the first time that we would see the Paralympic torch coming through the city. I was expecting the torch bearer to be oh I dunno, someone in a wheelchair or with some sort of disability. Instead some 12 year old kid with nothing Paralympic looking about him came sauntering down the street with the torch in his hand. I felt completely ripped off and was desperately looking for any kind of gimp, limp… even a lazy eye! Dammit, there was nothing. Rena laughed and then said “Well, we’re both going to hell.”
