Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

I traded some coke, good beer and some tylenol with codeine for some cask reserve single malt scotch (restricted in Canada) last summer and both parties were quite happy with the exchange.

Just wait till the Ottawa Vice guys show up in their pastel parkas and souped-up snowmobiles to nab you.

t the above is spoof, and my fine Canadian friends don't have to come down here to pummel me. Or, call first, and I'll make reservations at a restaurant so we can have a good visit too

sarameg at least IS very charming!

You are trusting my strange coworkers on this....

I love it when a plan comes together and I don't have to pick the restaurant....

I can't even.

Not that far from the truth, actually ... about the Ottawa cops, that is. I've never been nabbed by Sergeant Crockett of the Northwest.

seems like it would be a good place to have a quiet chat. And it's a beautiful place. A bit of a hike up from the harbor if you're walking but not too bad. It's a straight shot up Charles from the Harbor. And there's a parking lot next door.

Which hotel is it?

Well, afterwards, there was a little smooch ... oh, yeah it was a good deal too. It was The Macallan. That stuff is like Instant De-stressing Elixir.

It was fair, though. I was the one transporting pseudo-contraband across an international border, and I was bringing good beer to a busy campsite.

I had all the risk. My compadre had just to avoid cracking the seal on the scotch until I got there (no small feat, I agree).

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Hey, I know these hammies! I can vouch for their cuteness in person as well as online.

Oh shit! The new Survivor started last night!? I was working. Off to CBS.com, to see if I can get the video to run.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

From CNN.com:

The head of Cartoon Network, Jim Samples, has submitted his resignation in the wake of the Boston bomb scare sparked by an advertising campaign.

This is fucking ridiculous.
