joe kapp!

the grey cup, canada's super bowl, is being played in vancouver today. the home town b.c. lions represent the western conference so a few b.c. lions from the past are part of the festivities. one of the biggest stars of the past is joe kapp. he led the lions to their first grey cup victory in 1964. joe went on to become a star in the national football league leading the minnesota vikings to the super bowl and then a semi big-shot college coach.

angela mosca was a defensive player for the hamilton tiger cats in the 1963 grey cup and injured one of the best players on the b.c. lions with a late dirty hit. angela was public enemy number one in b.c. and went on to become a famous bad guy pro rassler. joe and angela met up this weekend in a grey cup event and all hell broke loose. the two 73 year olds exchanged words and one thing lead to another. angela hit joe with his cane and joe punched his lights out:



oh yeah, the game is being played in our newly renovated stadium. about 500 million bucks were spent on renovating the stadium with the main upgrade being a retractable roof. it's been pissing down rain all weekend and guess what, the feckin roof leaks!

years ago the grey cup was known as the national drunk but things have changed and only a small fraction of canadians will get shit faced this weekend and sadly i won't be one of them. shit, you can't even get drunk and drive home these days.

i love you sons of bitches.

the media have no morals???

last sunday morning whilst watching a little television i stumbled upon a bbc program from australia debating whether or not the media has morals. i found myself glued to the tv and not changing channels every 30 seconds as i usually do. it wasn't so much the content that held my interest it was the style and grace of a few of the speakers. say what you want about the british, but when it comes to oration, they have no equals.

here is the first part of the program. i suggest you go to the the 6 minute 30 second mark and listen to kate adie wax poetic about the media morals. i could listen to her ad infinitum.



several of the speakers cited aljazeera english as being a very moral and truthful source of news. i spent some time reading reading their articles and deemed it bookmark worthy. this caught my interest, India battles a surge in diabetes it seems pollution and medical problems are the 2 largest exports of western economies these days.

to sum up, cnn is quickly turning into a tabloid style scandal sheet but i'm unable to fathom what direction the bbc is turning due to the hypnotic elegance of their journalists and i have a schoolboy crush on kate adie.

i love you sons of bitches.

buy nothing

in case anyone forgot, november 25 is BUY NOTHING DAY!

in addition to buying nothing it would be nice if people would register with ADBUSTERS and become an official CULTURE JAMMER! me and ruby have been culture jammers for years. the young and restless can occupy wall street but us more mature subversives can combat runaway consumerism with a little culture jamming.

speaking of retail larceny, i had to buy an hdmi cable for the tv i picked up for pops. the cheapest cable at best buy was $29.99. sonny told me to pick one up at the discount computer place. i got the same thing for $6.99! fuck best buy!

too bad i spilled the beans on pops age. i could have asked you to guess our individual ages with the sum total being 146 years. maybe next year.



i hope none of you sons of bitches buy anything on november 25!

90!!!

guess who turned 90 today!



that's my dad!!

i bought him a new tv and we celebrated by watching some deadwood this morning.

here's to you pops:



i love you sons of bitches.
