OMG! WTF?

I recently strolled into a one of the trillion locations of a well-known coffee behemoth  to purchase some office coffee and ran into the guy from Abel Pest Control who used to routinely check my previous workplace for rodents and various other pests.  We shot the shit and eventually I asked him what he was doing there. He told me out of all the locations in the city, this one was by far the dirtiest, and in fact he was quite disgusted by it.  He had inquired about the staff’s cleaning habits and they were basically like ‘meh, whatev’.  I looked around and agreed that it was pretty much filthy, and that I probably should never buy any food or drinks there ever again.  It’s the one on Broadway near Pine just in case you were wondering.

Our top picks of Vancouver’s best bathrooms to do bad stuff in:

DHM might as well stand for debaucherous houses of mischief.

Republic - no problem getting up to no good in these completely encapsulated powder rooms. Might as well be in a Colombian beach mansion with George Jung.

Modern - a redlight corridor of unisex stalls acts like a bottleneck for last minute lucies. Get slammed or bust out the pixie stix in the comfort of your own private, virtually soundproof stall equipped with mirrors for you voyeuristic pervs.

Cactus Club, Yayotown - Don’t let the carbon copy jakalope fool you, this Cactus is nothing like its tamer suburban chad-fests. Chock-full of traffickers in tight graphic tees and their trophies, you know someone’s getting up to no good in the washroom.

Shine - the place always smells like shit so you know everyone’s rippin on something. Why even bother taking a trip to the unisex back room toilet? Crouch on the black couches in the back and do what you gotta do… pretty sure no one cares, or if they do, they just want a piece.

The upcoming Carbon Tax is the worst thing Canada has done to it’s people since GST.

“For the record, I hate icebergs, so to hell with them. Their only good for putting old people on to get rid of them.
Don’t volcano’s put out more emissions then we will ever put out? why don’t the liberals put a volcano tax on countries with volcanoes? I have a hybrid-volcano and I’m getting 58 miles per gallon of lava.”

Margaret Wente: “Carbon cuts are just a fantasy” - June 24, 2008

VANCOUVER — I have bad news for Stéphane Dion. Out here in B.C., the people are revolting. Gordon Campbell’s much-applauded carbon tax was pretty popular in February. But now, as people are being hammered by record gas prices, the enthusiasm has cooled. A new poll says a whopping 59 per cent of British Columbians now oppose the tax - and it hasn’t even kicked in yet.

Beware the fickle voters. Everyone loves carbon taxes, until they have to pay them. But there’s a much bigger and more serious reason for people to be skeptical of carbon taxes, cap-and-trade plans, green shifts, offset schemes and all the other policy proposals that have fueled such mind-numbing debate. The reason is that they won’t work. And you don’t have to be a climate-change denier to see why.

I know, I know. Mr. Dion likes to tell us the planet’s fate is in our hands. Sorry! It’s not. It’s a big old world out there, and most of the six billion people in it are scrambling to use more energy, not less.

…

Despite our good intentions, we can’t do anything about it. Last year, China clearly overtook the United States as the world’s biggest CO2 emitter. It now accounts for two-thirds of the yearly increase in global emissions. China and India will build a new coal generator roughly once a week for the next 25 years. As we ditch our gas-guzzling SUVs, the Chinese are buying 20,000 new cars every day. Two billion people still lack access to electricity. If we try to tell them they can’t have it, they’ll just laugh at us.

Could we reduce our carbon footprint enough to compensate for all this furious growth? Not a chance. We’d have to repeal air travel, cars and the rest of the 20th century. Global warming is really hard to fix. But don’t take it from me.

…

In other words, it will take a massive technological revolution to stabilize greenhouse gas emissions, and anyone who says otherwise is kidding you. It’s all very well to say that we ought to lead by example, and do what we can. It’s a good thing to start figuring out how we can eventually wean ourselves off fossil fuels. But if all our efforts to regulate carbon amount to scooping sand from the Sahara with a teaspoon, shouldn’t we face facts?

“We may have set ourselves down the wrong path when we framed the challenge of mitigating greenhouse gases in terms of reducing emissions,” says Mr. Pielke. He says only massive long-term investments in carbon-neutral technologies will do the trick. Keep that in mind during the next eye-glazing round of green debates.

So basically in about 2 years apples will cost $10 each. AWSM.

If you had a wife or girlfriend pregnant with your child, and you happen to get intimate the gestation period, do you consider that a threesome, group sex (depending whether or not you are expecting twins), or incest?

I’d like to hear your responses.

Look. I don’t smoke and neither should you. It’s bad for you. But that’s besides the point. People do smoke cigarettes. Many people. It’s a fact of life.

Now, if the government wants you to not do something, they make it illegal. The latest thing to become illegal is the fact that individuals cannot smoke on public patios. If caught, they may be liable to some fines. The rule is that they have to stay like 5 or so meters away from the specified area. Which is totally ridiculous in my opinion.

Here in Vancouver though, we have these safe injection sites for all the homeless drug addicts to have a nice warm sterile environment to inject themselves with heroin away from the cold and diseases.

Friends of mine have been talking about going to the safe injection sites and smoking cigars there because they don’t have proper places to smoke. I think they should.

Why do people who continuously do not and will not contribute to society always have more rights then your average smoking person?

Is that fair for us hard working, tax paying citizens?

If you wanna kill yourself with cigarettes, I think you should have the right to do so wherever and whenever you want. Die from lung cancer, help keep the world population down, therefore contributing to saving the environment.

Second hand smoke isn’t pleasant to be around, but neither is fascism.

This blog is whatever.
