Do wasps dream of alcoholic insects?
This little guy swam around in a bottle of Bacardi Silver for a night. When I woke up, I noticed him, so I let him out of the bottle. Thought he was gonna die for sure. But he just rolls around for a few minutes, vomits this huge bubble thing, and then flies off drunkenly, no doubt going back to his paper house to tell his peeps all about the watering hole he stumbled into...
If you think I'm lying, type up 'can wasps get drunk' in google, and check the fourth link that comes up.

More Telus Crap
We all know what I think of our local monopoly phone provider, Telus. Apparently, I'm one of the many who feel this way. Check it out here. Telus has been plagued with bad management, ridiculous charges, and poor service for years. They think they can have the problems fixed within weeks? We'll have a cure for cancer before that happens.

Communism is dead...
So China has become only the third country to launch an astronaut into orbit. Is it just me, or does this multi-(and by multi, I mean hundreds of millions)MILLION dollar affair seem to be a slight re-invention of something the US and what was then the CCCP had done oh, around 30 odd years ago?! A decade of research, and MULTI-MILLIONS spent to put one Chinese dude into orbit for 21 hours. Why then, am I not impressed with my yellow forefathers, who have shown innovation and initiative in developing this space program? The last time I checked, China was still a communist country with a billion plus people (many of whom are starving and employed in less than enviable professions, working for mere pennies a day). Under a true communist system, these multi-millions would've been spent on improving overall quality of life for the nation's citizens. But nope, apparently repeating something that's been done and done again for the sake of national pride takes precedence. Hooray for western corruption of Marx' manifesto. Chairman Mao has got to be rolling over in his grave right now.
speaking of Marx, did I mention I scored a copy of the Communist Manifesto for 50 cents at Value Village? sweet.

Xenocide
If you don't know the meaning of the word... look it up. I spent about an hour holed up in my bathroom today. It was a bloodbath. George vs. the xenoforms. What the hell am I raving about? Allow me to explain...
My apartment has been invaded by a horde of evil sugar crazed drosophila. Yes, dreaded fruit flies have laid claim to my kitchen. Apparently not taking out my trash for a week wasn't such a good idea. Too late for regret though, I'd reached the point of no return. It was me or them. So I blitzed the 10 or so slow enough to get caught while still in the kitchen. Then I pulled the garbage into the washroom, luring the invaders into closed quarters. And systematically, I wiped em out one by one. As Miyagi had his chopsticks, I had my rolled up tabloid... the flies didn't stand a chance. As it stands now, the body count is around 45. But I know there's at least one more little bastard buzzing around at hyperspeed. He must've feasted well before I noticed the infestation, cause he's one fast bugger. It's like he's taunting me... excuse me while I get my can o' RAID.

HAPPY Turkey DAY!
How many of you actually know the reason behind Thanksgiving? Cause I sure as heck haven't got a clue. All I remember from way back when is that Thanksgiving has something to do with Pilgrims, and turkey, and the most important part - a long weekend! Amen.
