Sheena...this one's for you

My one and only fan wuz complaining about my lack of blogs.... so here goes....

funny..........gotta think of something funny to write about........... ergh....... too....much....pressure...

I KNOW stoopid Canmore women, I can rant about them.

So the news had a spot on the fact that bunnies are taking over Canmore. Yes, that's right BUNNIES and not rabbits. See, about 10 or 12 years ago someone let their pet bunnies loose, and since then, well, the bunnies have been doing what bunnies do best. And because they're in town, with no natural enemies... they've been TAKING OVER

if you want proof and/or more details on why the town says it's the fish & game's problem, and why the fishy and gamey people say it's the town's problem. Bottom line: they're destroying gardens, trees, lawns, they're a big problem, something needs to be done.

Now I won't bore you on my opinions about rabbits as pets (pointless) or the wanton disruption of the delicate balance of nature (slightly less pointless) but I will say this.
To the idiot woman who was interviewed for CTV on the debate, with the following statement "I don't think we need to interfere, nature will take it's course, the coyotes and predators will look after them". All the while she's standing beside her significant other who is holding their VERY SMALL AND DEFENSELESS CHILD IN HIS ARMS!!!?!?!?. HELLO STOPPID!
Do you really think the answer to this problem is having wild carnivores roaming the streets, and yards, and playgrounds of your town feeding on the small creatures they find on the way? Do you think your toddler can outrun a RABBIT for god sakes! How much more MEAT is their on an 18 month old! They're probably the equivalent of, like 4 bunnies.

And when you consider Canmore is only is only 117 miles away from Acme Alberta...well you KNOW those Coyotes are going to have the best equipment money can buy. Lady your precious baby doesn't stand a chance!


There, Sheena, hope yer happy. See ya next week

Enough with the cutsie pooh names!

Found this on a sign in the college
What a completely lame way to spell Chelsey. At least I'm assuming this was an intentional spelling, and that the student didn't misspell her own name.

Am I alone in thinking that this parental obsession of re-spelling perfectly good names is a mild form of child abuse? There must be about 50 ways to spell "Crystal" out there..,. is is really that much fun having to constantly walk people through writing down and pronouncing your first name? I have enough problems getting people to get my last name right, at least having "Sue" as a nomiker gives me a bit of a break. I saw a "Calvine" for Calvin, which incidentally means 'bald' in Latin so why anybody goes there in the first place is beyond me. Camryn/Kamryn, which means bent nose, CADEN / KADEN was like the 2nd highest ranking boy name in 2005. Kaden?!? What the hell is that about.

And the Katelyn, Caitlin, Katlyn, Katalin, Katelyn, Katelynn, Katelins.... give me a break. You will NOT automatically create a creative, free-thinking, interesting, and unique human being by saddling them with a ridiculous and childishly spelt name.

And if you're going to start making names up, at least let's follow basic phonetics. 'Beyonce' needs an accent over the e to be Be-yawn-say. As it stands, it should be pronouced 'be-yawnc'

Cadence/Kadence/Kadense is popular too. BITE ME. The online definition has Cadence meaning rhythm, which is a somewhat sketchy definition. But even if it was accurate... 'rhythm'...what the hell are you going for there. I mean, nobody ever REALLY wants to raise a drummer...do they?

When I was working at the provincal gov't exam registry, we saw the most horrifying names. "Colt 44" and "Princess Di"... I wonder what that girl calls her self now, post-car accident? "Franken Stein" (I'm not kidding, how miserable are that person's Octobers). My sister said they processed a test for a "Maxi Padd" one year...can you IMAGINE that girls' school life? I shudder to think.


Someday, there's going to be a child that turns around and sues the pants off their parents for pain and mental anguish. It'll be the Britanny/Britanee/Britaknee/Bretahnee/Bwetawkni class-action suit. And I hope they take their parental units to the kleeners.
