A Post From Me/Apostrophe
Tuesday, September 27th, 2005It’s amazing how making one post can give you the impetus you needed to write more. Kind of how hearing the Pussycat Doll’s single can make me get up and do all the important things I’ve been procrastinating about.
I’m in Canada at the moment. Did you know that Canada is the second largest country in the world? It’s really quite massive, believe me. Obviously not quite as big as space, which really is unbelievably ginormously massive, but still, it’s pretty darn big. Being in Canada has made me start using words like “darn”; I think this is probably a bad thing.
Across the road from the hotel I’m staying in is a strip club. It has a large neon sign outside with its name on it (I think there is probably legislation that requires all strip clubs have large neon signs outside). The sign reads: “Barbarella’s Diamond’s”. Ye gods, it’s like having nails scratched down a blackboard every time I see it. Do you think they would appreciate having their punctuation critiqued?
A Known Unknown
Tuesday, September 27th, 2005Donald Rumsfeld is giving President Bush his daily briefing on events from around the world. He concludes by saying: “Oh, and yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed in an accident”.
“OH MY GOD!”, the President exclaims. “That’s terrible!”
His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands. Finally, the President looks up and asks:
“How many is a Brazillion again?”
Thanks very much, I’m here all week.
