R-E-S-P-E-C-T...Me No Have

I am not a young man. I was born in the 60s. Yet, on Friday, my Dad came into work and was so pleased to hand me a booklet of 20 Marvel Superhero postcards he found at the Flying J last year and had predictably forgotten was in his glove box. Make no mistake, I like them, but it was like he thought I was ten, and getting this tiny boon would set me all a twitter and be ever grateful. I mean, come on Dad, I have bills, stress, kids, stress, mortgage, stress, work stress, dog with a bad bladder, and this guy thinks that by giving me a booklet of Marvel postcards he can brighten my shitty fucking day.

Turns out he was right. Thanks Dad.

Porn You Can Watch With The Kids

Have any of you seen This Food That Wine? It may be the most unsubtle food-porn on television. Hosts Angie MacRae and and Stacey Metulynsky get together with some MILFy friends and prepare a sumptuous meal while plowing back the vino. Pretty standard stuff for The Food Network. But what sets this show apart, and why you should watch it with a pillow over your lap, is the camera work and the lighting. Let's say it is time to taste the wine: zoom in tight on a pair of plump and moist lips, show glass slowly being raised to said ripe pillows, and linger as the golden amber pushes through to the waiting tongue.

The same goes for the food--forks, fecund with meat break open a blushing bouche to tantalize the tastebuds. Over and over again. Take a look at their (very tame) video to get a feel for it. I think the popping champagne cork is overly obvious. As for the hot wet roast, well, need I say more?

Do you see where I am going here? Family safe food porn. It's all I have left.

D&D and Reality

Unless, like our friend KD, you play with hot chicks.

Ozma Wars--Let's Travel&Fight

Some retro games just aren't worth playing again.

But they are worth capturing on video and sharing! Can you believe the sweet soundtrack? Hard to believe that this was a sequel of sorts to Space Invaders, and not the forerunner.

The best part about Ozma Wars is that after 3 "levels", it just repeats. And repeats. I am trying to play with the sound on, but the nose bleeds are becoming too distracting. But hey, what it lacks in sound fidelity, it makes up for with no colour.

In the end, we can all learn from the slogan of Ozma Wars:

Let's
Travel&Fight
Space World

Indeed.

Laval beat Dinos in Father Son Bowl to Advance to Vanier Cup

I would like to congratulate the Calgary Dinos for scoring 10 points against Laval's third string. Some game that was. Starters out of the game at half time with a 49 point lead. The closest thing I have seen is the "old boys" rugby game in Monty Python's "Meaning of Life". The Laval players looked NFL size while the Dinos look like they were pumped up for the London High School Red Feather game. But what can you expect when the largest person on the calgary sideline is their coach.

Meanwhile, the UWO-St Marys game seems to have been on for six hours at this point. I keep falling asleep despite the scintillating play by play on the Score. Did I miss something, or does the Mitchell Bowl require a 5 steamboat count before rushing the passer?
