The Cowardness Of The Canadian Cynic Left-wing Blog !!!

Blogger The Right is Where its At had a fantastically incomprehensible post about the cowardly left. Evidently, you cannot criticize another blog post unless you go to the blog in question and post said critique. If you fail to do so, you sir, are a coward! A poltroon! A roué! I wonder how that went over with the wickedly yellow commies?

Oooh, not well. Quick tip for TRIWIA; pick a language. Master it. Then, try writing in that language. Baby steps Righty, baby steps.

So, how about those penguins!

Bonus Pile On

I can't find a clip for it, but TRiWiA is just like that drunk guy in that sketch. You know, the Kids in the Hall sketch where Bruce McCulloch plays the obnoxious little drunk guy who wouldn't stop fighting the really big sober guy? The one where his friend egged him on, seemingly oblivious to the beating his stupid drunk friend was taking? Anyone? Help me here Honshui. Regardless, this is just like that.

Oh forget it.

Things To Do During Your Holidays

Now that Christmas is done, what do you do when the in-laws are still around for a few more days and you have nothing more to talk about. Well, you could watch a lot of television. You could go for long walks and burn some calories. But I think you should listen to a live stream of the Antarctic underwater soundscape. Really.

The Alfred-Wegener Institut for Polar and Marine Research is recording underwater sound by means of:


Four hydrophones by PALAOA, an autonomous, wind and solar powered observatory located on the Ekström ice shelf (Boebel et al., 2006).

The data stream is transmitted via wireless LAN from PALAOA to the German Neumayer Base. From there, a permanent satellite link transmits the data to the AWI in Germany.

A constant hiss pervading the signal is the natural, isotropic background noise made audible here through the use of ultra sensitive hydrophones. Additional broad band noise caused by wind, waves and currents adds to it on occasion.

If that doesn't fill your time-wasting needs, may I suggest the penguin cam?

Boxing Day

For the readers not living in former colonies of Great Britain, we call the 26th of December, Boxing Day? Why you may ask? Well, let the auspicious Oxford English Dictionary tell you.

Boxing-day

The first week-day after Christmas-day, observed as a holiday on which post-men, errand-boys, and servants of various kinds expect to receive a Christmas-box. So also Boxing-night, Boxing-time.
1833 in A. MATHEWS Mem. C. Mathews (1839) IV. viii. 173 To the completion of his dismay, he arrives in London on boxing-day. 1837 DICKENS Pickw. xxxii. 343 No man ever talked in poetry 'cept a beadle on boxin' day. 1837 {emem} in Bentley's Misc. Mar. 296 The most turbulent sixpenny gallery that ever yelled through a boxing-night. 1849 G. SOANE New Curios. Lit. 317 The feast of Saint Stephen is more generally known amongst us as Boxing-Day. 1871 Hood's ‘Comic Ann.’ 59 It was the Saturday before the Monday Boxing Night. 1877 PEACOCK N. Linc. Gloss. (E.D.S.) Boxing-time, any time between Christmas-day, and the end of the first week in January. 1884 Harper's Mag. Dec. 9/1 In consequence of the multiplicity of business on Christmas-day, the giving of Christmas-boxes was postponed to the 26th, St. Stephen's Day, which became the established Boxing-day.

In our modern age, it is a chance to take a break from the one-day not spent shopping (the 25th) to get back into Best Buy and fight some dude over a cheap printer or scanner. Ahh Boxing Day. When people shop like the Apocalypse is north of Aylmer and closing fast.

All I Want For Christmas...

are two trolls, trolls so helpless and stupid that I simply won't be able to help but lose my Christmas cheer and shite on them. If only. But wait...

Hooray! There is a Santa after all!

Thanks Santa!

What? Another one?

Best Christmas Eve ever!
