Now tagless for your comfort.

My favorite joke in Canada:

How are American beer and sex in a canoe alike?

Answer: *They're both fucking close to water.*

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My favorite joke in Canada:

Huh. I've heard this joke years ago told by an ex-Python.

Oh. Bless.

His aunt, Odessa Staggers, was my pe teacher in high school. She told such wonderful stories about him and spoke of the family ethic that made sure he 'got up to nothing but good.'

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

American beer isn't actually beer

No longer as true as it was; we are finally starting to recover some of the skills we lost during prohibition.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

I still see professional athletes marketed as Good Citizens. That was (and is) a big part of Seattle's love for Jamie Moyer and Edgar Martinez, that not only were they great players, they were also genuinely nice guys who mentored younger players and Gave Back to the Community (tm). I don't know as much about the NFL, but it seems like Peyton Manning and Shaun Alexander, to name two really big names, are marketed as Nice Guys. (Whether they actually are, I have no idea. Same for Moyer and Martinez, actually, though I think it's likely I would've heard some gossip at least if they were the opposite of how they're packaged.)

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Isn't baseball's Ripkin whassisface generally acknowledged to be a cool guy?

I know Reggie Bush is pretty well liked back home, and not just for stuff on the field.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

(From a ways back)

I might actually have to go to MySpace for those sweet little nerds.

Shrift is me in this. Does this mean she's wearing a stripy skirt and corset? I don't know. If she is, and it is also true that she really is Dean Winchester, then I suspect there is already fic about this.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Huh. Shaun Alexander and his wife have three daughters, and they named them Heaven, Trinity, and Eden. I guess once they pick a theme they stick to it...

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

and they named them Heaven, Trinity, and Eden.

And the next one will be...Gomorrah? Epiphany? Epistle?
