Diana Thorneycroft -- My new favorite Canadian Artist
Diana Thorneycroft has a new exhibit displayed in Calgary titled Group of Seven Awkward Moments. Picture Robot Chicken combined with the Group of Seven and you can imagine the cool dioramas that she creates. I also highly recommend browsing her Canadiana Martyrdom Series.

The Sound of One Hand Fapping
Poor Chucker Canuck. He's all in a tizzy about being mocked for his man-crush on Stephen Harper. All I can say is, "If the dick fits...".
Luckily, one of his followers has rushed to his defense with this strident attack on "lefties":
"Personally, I like having lefties around, they provide an endless supply of mirth to moi.
I know quite a few and love having them around.
The tear-streamed anguish on their faces when I artfully describe the culmination of the hunt, and the pride a dad feels when his offspring pull the heart out of their first kill - priceless!
The hand-wringing despair brought about when I bring out my old logging videos showing me delivering the final cut that brings a century old douglas fir to its thunderous end - again, priceless!
The teeth-gnashing fits I can induce when I debate them about the general uselessness of big unions and how I think the minimum wage should be abolished - that one just leaves me warm & fuzzy for the rest of the day." --Mjölnir
A few, quick point Mo. Artful descriptions really aren't your thing. I've read your sad little blog, and it really comes off as a bad parody of a right wing nut job. By the way, if Layton was a traitor for wanting to pull out of Afghanistan last year, what does that make little Stevie?
Secondly, nobody buys your pseudo macho bullshit. Ooh, look, he felled a tree! Big fat fucking hairy deal. Nobody weeps when you play your videos. The only tears are yours, because its after midnight, and you are alone, watching grainy VHS tapes from 20 years ago when you imagine you had the world by the balls.
Thirdly, Mjölnir? Srsly?
You may think you're Thor, all manly warrior god testosteroned butchy butcherson,
but you're a 50+ IT guy. That makes you Volstagg.
Just own it buddy.

On Aging And Socialising
Until this nauseating bug passes through me, videos will supplant verbiage.
I went to a charity event last weekend and saw an old high-school friend in the crowd. Screwed up my courage and lined myself up to say hi...and she walked by me twice without a trace of recognition. With no history of animus, all I can figure is that I look really different now.
So I thought of this song:
Whatever. My kids know my fat face.
