Visit Toronto

Basking in the summer sun and hosting merry, undulating rivulets of sweat betwixt my rosy ass cheeks, I often found myself thinking of the future. The imagined timeline floated in the haze of somewhere around mid-January. Yes. Chilled drinks did factor into that vision, as did various activities combining snow and nudity. Despite this, my pragmatism allowed me to recognize that winter would also suck in many ways. I knew that, for example, snow would feel great on my ruddy bits for only a few minutes at most. After that, the joy would be gone. I make sure I don’t look forward with too ... Read Full Story

The more I walk through downtown Toronto, the more I’m convinced that the city is really going downhill. Let me explain using of an illustration. For this you need to think B-I-G. First envision a fat person, I mean really big; the kind of extended circumference for which the words “morbidly obese” barely scratch the surface; the kind of rotund that results in, basically, a giant ball with tiny projections that were once the appendages. This person would have fashioned for them a sturdy steel girdle that would encircle their girth and provide a hard outter support for the gelatinous mass underneath. Now take ... Read Full Story

As a colleague and I ascended in the elevator at lunch today, he mentioned rather casually that he didn’t like elevators. Naturally, my first instinct was to ask why. Claustrophobia? Mistrust of machines? Embarrassing erections? The answer was “no” to all three questions. The closest I got to an insight was that “people would be scared if the elevator had a glass bottom.” I wasn’t going to press the issue any further; he’s a Java developer, I’m a Flash developer, and our people don’t intermingle. It is forbidden. He did have a point, though; glass bottoms and heights can be pretty freaky. But not ... Read Full Story

Between stealing government secrets and sleeping with unbelievable women, I recall when I’d have some time to spend with the weekend newspaper; just me and the weighty Saturday Star or, if I’d forgotten to pick one up, a yucky morning yarn with Christie Blatchford and the Sun. It didn’t matter that much either way because I was young, licensed to kill, and coffee was always the first thing on the table at the local breakfast nook. Recently it’s gotten real bad. Where I used to have a chance to read of my covert  yet well publicized exploits of the previous day, I now barely ... Read Full Story

Steve Martin recently said on a guest appearance on 30 Rock, “You can move to Canada with me. Toronto is like New York, but without all the STUFF”. Lest you get the impression we watch 30 Rock, we don’t. Why? You can find less mugging for the camera when the Channel 6 weatherman visits an elementary school. 30 Rock is like Ally McBeal without the anorexia. What it has is the opposite: the increasingly hefty Alec Baldwin, easily the most talented Baldwin when it comes to eating your way out of the movie business. Tracy ‘what’s happ’n, chief?’ Morgan is about as funny as ... Read Full Story
