Okay, I know I said I would actually post something somewhat frequently. I made grandiose promises of a new age in Joe blogging with all the bells in whistles. Rest assured this will probably never actually happen. You did infact get your hopes up for nothing. Sorry to disappoint but you got to understand... It's pretty easy to live up to disappointment. You set your sights high and then shoot real low....

This just got oddly depressing... we should move on from the unpleasantness as quickly as possible... So read faster...

Anyway's, this blog has been many a things in the past, a bunch of jumbled ramblings mixed with semi coherent flashes of brilliance only to be slammed on the head with a repetitive joke that won't die like some sort of undead zombie cockroach. It has also been an outlet for artistic expression a, question and answer forum, and almost a diary of events at one point... almost... but not quite. But most importantly the first one. Oh, and a glorious example of poor grammar and spelling to be held up for all the world to see.

So that being said we've kind of gone back to that. Poor grammar with no real deliberate point or meaning. The whole point is for me to just type some stuff out and then you do the whole comment thing and be like "Dude, that is some deep shit. Do you have any Cheeto's?" or something more along the lines of "Dude... undead zombie cockroaches? Pull your bloated head out of your misguided ass! Also, do you have some Cheeto's?" . There might even be some sort of weird alternate third response that doesn't even involve Cheeto's. Which I can't comprehend why it wouldn't. Cheeto's rock! But alas they are "your" comments and if forever reason you wish to not comment about Cheeto's then by all means go right ahead. But personally I do not understand your choice. I can respect your choice but I can not understand nor do I condone or support it. You will have to understand that if you do go down that dark road that I won't be there for you. I don't want to live in a world where Cheeto's do not rock.

Which brings me to my next point, what ever happened to those crazy commercials with that Cheetah guy? He'd always end up flying across the screen and injuring himself or some other wacky occurrence. There's a whole generation of kids right now growing up without the Cheeto's Cheetah. Doesn't anyone see a problem with this? I never see commercials Captain Crunch anymore either... What ever became of the good Captain? I wonder if there's a retirement home for company mascot's somewhere? But that wouldn't make much sense. The Michelin Tire guy has to be pushing 150 and he's still around. It would be more probable that there's some kind of spokesman sharpshooter that takes out all the beloved commercial characters. Or it could be poor sales....

I'm going to go and try to be productive now.

Tune in next week to watch our hero's solve the mystery of the Saturday morning commercial killing bandit!!

Things I've noticed...

"Shut up I'm going to try and be insightful for once!"(sort of)

You know those websites that tell you "You've found a bug!" , which is just a nice way of saying our web page is fucked up beyond all repair currently please come back at another time. Why does this page exist? I mean it angers me more than the page simply not loading... a different page loading gives you false hope... you're like "Oh somethings coming... Well this isn't right... This isn't right at all. Infact its so not right... its wrong!" Also how is it possible to come across this page by hitting the refresh button? I've gone this far into the site already... If anything that info should be stored in my cache. The whole concept gets on my nerve. I don't care if I've found a bug, if your server is too busy or what not. It probably took ten minutes for this page to load in the first place because your site is down... I'd rather it just not load! Not some lame sorry page that instills false hope in me...

I hate advertising. I'm going to spend the rest of my life probably working for advertising agencies in some capacity and I hate it. I don't hate the campaigns, or the commercials or the full page spreads. I hate the idea of selling something. Of driving this constant social pressure down upon the middle class to look thinner, buy bigger and make themselves prettier. I think there's lots of brilliant marketing that exists, some of it even thoughtful and poignent. But I despise the idea of telling someone they need something or they aren't "cool". I despise how advertising creates social distinctions amongst people and how it lowers us all. But i love design. It's a destructive relationship.

The further south you go in Canada the more choice of creams, milks, and various othe dilutants (its a word... i think... poetic lisence bitch!) you have to put in your coffee. Take Ontario for instance Like if your in Timmins you have maybe 2% milk and cream (North of Timmins I'm assuming its a wild untammed land where no man is king and everyone drinks their coffee black)... Once you hit Sudbury they add half and half to the mix and various other types of milk... Parrysound introduces low fat products... Barrie brings with it "milk replacements" ie. soy... and by the time you hit Toronto there's a bloody bucket filled with cartons with a minimum of 8 variations on milk in... All of which taste exactly the same when mixed in with coffee... Granted I've never had coffee south of Toronto so my theory may be completely wrong...But I assume By the time you hit Windsor they serve you a cup of milk and you ask for two teaspoons of decaf vanilla bean coffee in it.

Why is it, at some point in every young man's life... He "needs" to steal a certain glass from a bar? Don't get me wrong... I'm guilty of it too. Seriously, I want too know why! I'm looking at my kieths pitcher atop my book shelf asking that very question. Is it just the fact that I was drunk? Or is it the fact that I'm so pleased that this wonderous vessel brought me beer that I did want oh so very much?

Why are so many websites so very, very ugly. Sure my xanga site is ugly but... its xanga and I don't give a crap. Any xanga page is destined to be ugly if you ask me. Regular web pages have a decent shot of being at least tolerable. Lot's of them are still throw back's to the "i'm going to repeat an ugly background and use animated gifs age" You should need to pass a design test to produce a website so as not to offend other people's good taste.

Why do I still procrastinate. I've been in this world close to 23 years now and I still do it. I know I shouldn't. I've learnt my lesson time and time again. "Eight chapters of art history? I can knock that off easily in one night. Back to video games." I've come to realize that I don't think I'll ever learn my lesson. Or any lesson for that matter. I'm too set in my ways.

You know, Kraft Dinner really isn't that good. I don't know why I eat so offten. It's just a meal of convience I think. I could go through the effort of cooking an elaborate meal with all the trimmings or I can throw some hot dogs in KD and be reminded of summers at my aunt's camp. So ease + nostalgic value = makes crap tolerable. Have you ever tried to make kraft dinner better? "Maybe some hot sauce will be good in here!" That's a fools hope. The furthest you can go with KD is salt, pepper and cheese wiz... Trust me. If you're really talented you might be able to figure out something better. But I'm not.

Do you remember that moment in life where you realized you didn't want to be a rock star, prime minister or an astronaught? Where you were happy being yourself and finding something to do you liked? That was a real peaceful and relaxing moment for me. There's all this pressure put on us in highschool to do great things. No teacher tells you to "aim for mediocrity and blend in son!" even though that's where most people end up. They tell us to aim high and shoot for the stars and we think we have too. But we don't, some people don't realize this and freak out and have a nervous break down. Some people actually reach the stars they're shooting for and some people just try to find happiness.

Working nine to five is awesome. I get home and I'm all "time to crack those books" but then I'm all hold up. That's the point at which I realize I don't have too. You'd think this would allow me to do all the things I always wanted to do. But I made the above comment on procrastination for a reason.

I know this isn't my regular format. I'm not sure if that matters seeing as how I haven't posted in a couple of months. To bring you up to speed on things:

Done school forever.

Moved home.

Got a Job.

Got a car.

Still need a haircut.

I'll probably post something again at some point. I'm not sure what. But I will.

*The above was not checked for speeling or grabmar.... It's your own fault for reading it.

Dear Joe,
Why does the flu feel like death?
-Strahl Recht

I never thought the flu felt like death. Mind you I’ve never felt up Death or this Flu character either. I don’t go in for those back door shanagans. What you do in the privacy of back water bordello is between you god and the goat you defiled. The only theory I have on this on would be that they use the same fabric softener. It could also be possible that they are in fact the same person though! Mild mannered reporter Flu by day.... And by night SUPER DEATH!!!!

This joke has gone too far....

Dear Joe,
I enjoy your advice/comments so much - totally makes my day. Now for my question: Why do you have to "put your two cents in"...but it’s only a "penny for your thoughts"? Where’s that extra penny going to?
-kanadiansnowbunny

Well I put my two cents in because I have nothing better to do so I dispense useless advice every now and then. I only get a penny for my thoughts though because my advice really isn’t that good and the real estate in mind has been steadily declining every since I got into college.

Dear Joe,
Why is it that the people who know the least act like they know the most?
-overjoid

Yeah, those guys are jerks! But its not really their fault... you see....It has to do with the lower left quadratic hemisphere of their brain. There’s a recolonizing of consummate molecules that sets off a tri-serial reaction through out the nervous ocular region of the inherited brain tissue. Mr. Eaton best explained it by saying "but who does not like the Toronto Maple Leafs?" Which is an obvious metaphor for psychological trauma revisited in conjugational with tandem thought elusion. This all leads to sever symptoms that may or may not include Velcro leakage, spinal dicombobulatory shifts, micro cellular bandwidth issues and of course talking out of your ass.

As you can plainly tell its not their fault that they’re jerks. They are physically incapable of realizing how little they do in fact know. The S.O.P.W.K.T.L.B.A.L.T.H.K.T.M. (The society of people who know the least act like they know the most) would like to remind everyone of this and to not judge these poor souls based solely on their remarks. But to give them a chance to warm up to the metaphorical hearts of the world and to let them spread their wings to fly like the majestic humming birds they truly are!

Dear Joe,
Why did MSN invent "nudges" and "winks"?
-invisibleoutline


Well there’s many reasons for this. One is so girlfriends can make their boyfriends computers make really annoying noises while he’s trying to do homework. The other more obvious reason is because Microsoft is evil. They’ve unleashed yet another piece of software that is in no way an improvement on the previous version... But it has some really nice bells and whistles that tax your computers system thus making everyone need better computers.

Somewhere in a meeting there were a bunch of guys.... Possibly french and they were all: "Oh non! Le MSN noises are not annoying enough! We must add animation and the abilité to jostle someone’s screen to the package! Oui! That will really mess with their heads! And just to make sure.... Will make the service on version seven of MSN even less reliable! That will show those arrogant pricks!".... Or something like that at least....

*note.... I’m french so you can’t get mad at me.... That being said for future reference I’m also allowed to make jokes about the Irish.... Those drunken bastards!

Dear Joe,
Why did I run out of cornflakes?
-ryoushi


I did a lot of research into this one.... My theory is you don’t do the groceries... your parents do and their giving you subtle hints. You see its a metaphor of sorts... Just like how you ran out of cornflakes... they want you to run out of the house so they can finally have some peace and quiet!

Apparently you’re only allowed to return once you bring your mom a grandchild....

Rat’s don’t count as grandchildren....

Good luck with that.

Dear Joe,
How is it that you know all this stuff? Where do you ever find the time to research it all so thoroughly?
-they_kicked_me


I have a crack team of researches work around the clock to find the answers to all your questions. Yes, I know... even with a crack team of specialists it still takes 2 months to do all the research and compile all the data and formulate my responses.


Personally I think they’re slacking a bit lately. I hired this new guy named Barry... It was one of those "I owed his older brother a favor" things. Needless to say I really don’t like the cut of this guys jib. The researchology departments output has been down 19% since I hired him a month and a half ago and talk backive-ness has been up a staggering 24%! I’d like to fire the guy but you know... the favor. Essentially we’ll all have to deal with slight delays until the "accident" happens.

Dear Joe,
What is the best way to use Sassy Frass in a sentence?
-noplacia


frass n.
Debris or excrement produced by insects.


sassy n. pl. sas·sies
A western African tree (Erythrophleum suaveolens) of the pea family, having bark that yields a poison and wood that is used for construction. Also called sasswood, sassy bark.


So if I understand this correctly the term means poison trees that come from bug poop..... So examples would be:


"Watch out Timmy! You almost stepped in some Sassy Frass!"
or
"Jon and I built a fort in that Sassy Frass over yonder by the old walnut patch!"
or
"Our Sassy Frass fort was condemned by the health inspector."

Dear Joe,
If vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat?
-acedealer


Ok..... This is a stretch..... But simply because I don’t want to make a Soylent green joke.


Humanitarians are humans that eat Arians. Arians are those who follow the doctrines of Arius. Which essentially deny that Jesus was of the same substance as God and holding instead that he was only the highest of created beings, viewed as heretical by most Christian churches. See, you all thought holy mother church was getting lenient... I mean, they haven’t gone on a crusade in ages. Little did you know they were slowly biding their time. Eating away (literally) at all those who chose not to believe in the holy trinity. Until one day, all the "heretic" religious armies of the world will be nothing more then bones covered in honey garlic sauce (I’m assuming... they may like sweet and sour... I’m not sure) and a wave a Christian might and gluttony will sweep over the earth! Thus creating a new religious age of Jesus power!

Now, the argument could be made that vegetarians are vegetables that eat Arians.... But that would just be ludicrous ... We all know killer tomatoes are fruits. The moral of all this is simply that this is possibly the most sacrilegious thing I ever wrote. I could be wrong.... But I’m pretty sure it is.

Dear Joe,
Where the hell have I been for the last 2+ months
-Kelaxis


In China.... NOT taking over the harbor front from the looks of the headlines in the world news papers. And to that all I can say is... for shame...


On the plus side you probably got to eat some really good rice. Therefore I envy you because I’m on a rice kick and my massive bag of rice is almost empty. If you or anyone else out there in Internet land would like to help me with this cause please email me and I will forward you a mailing address where you can ship rice to me. Or money... send money .... Money’s always good. Not only will I be able to buy rice with money. But if you send enough I could roll around in it and pretend I’m rich.


Please help facilitate my dreams of pretending to be rich and donate generously.

Ok, so here's a collection of things that will provide you with hours... maybe hour.. or percentage of an hour of reading enjoyment etc.. and so on... Blah Blah Blah... I am a genius worship me you bloody ingrates!

 

Oh, All-Knowing-Joe, here I humbly present my question: What is jealousy?

Note: Really this is important...like school important.

-They_Kicked_Me

First of all... bonus points on the all knowing compliment. You get 3 extra mans for that one. At least 3... Maybe like 3.67 or something like that. That is pretty sweet for you. Anyway...Enough tom foolery (I've always wanted to use that in a sentence)....

Jealousy is like when you're at bar and you just finished your beer but you notice your friend has a full beer. Sure you asked the waitress (hopefully a real purtty one) to bring you another. But there's a tense few minutes where you'd stab your friend in the eye and run off with his beer into the night just so you could call it your own. Plus that would be free beer which is even better! Mind you if everyone followed this example we'd look like a bunch of pirates. Plus if you got jealous of your frined more then once he'd just be right fucked. I mean blind. The waitress wouldn't go for him. She doesn't like eye patches.

Anyway... Jealousy... Is like Envy... but doesn't star Jack Black or Ben Stiller... and it got four of five stars. On top of this its a human emotion that essential makes people feel inferior too one and other. Like when you're a kid and your friend had all four ninja turtles but you were missing Rapheal. You really wanted Rapheal... And would do almost anything for it... but its wrong... but because its tied to our needs/wants we're all "ooooh so pretty must have and be better then him" I think its more common or ummm prevelant in western society... But I could be wrong. Maybe Buddhist kill each other for rice. Probably not... Not for rice at least. But the five point exploding heart technique was invented for a reason....

 

Joe, I have a question, why are dinosaurs allowed to teach? And why in freaking monotone on top of that?

Nah, I take that back...it's all part of LU money stealing theory...they give you profs you can't understand in the first place so that you fail, and have to take the course over again and thus give them MORE money.

CROOKS! Sellors of over-priced books!...jerks...

 

-Strahl_Recht

I don't think I really need to answer this. But I guess the future is now. I mean I thought cloning dinosaurs was way off. But apparently they're educated and teaching. It's a wonderous time we live in. As for the fact they're monotone I think its because they're vocal chords/speach center of the brain isn't as elvolved as our own. Give the poor lizards a break. Sheesh!

 

What is the most appropriate ways to serve/drink wine according to occasion.
I would appreciate a well rounded answer to this as there are many and varying thoughts on this matter.

-YellowFlannelShirt

 

Well it totally depends on the occasion and who you're drinking with and the reason for drinking the wine. Now we all know wine should be somewhat chilled. White more so then red. Serving wine cool will mask some imperfections which is good for crappy wine.While a warmer wine temperature allows expression of the wine's characteristics best with an older or more expensive classy wine. Still wines (non bubbly) should be poured towards the centre of the glass, while sparkling wines (bubbly) should be poured against the side to preserve bubbles.

The three main types of wine glasses are:
• White wine glasses: tulip shaped
• Red wine glasses: more rounded and have a larger bowl
• Sparkling wine flutes: tall and thin.

Now... If you're drinking for the sake of drinking (ie. you're a dunken bastard) or drinking fruity wine none of the above matters. Infact there is no rule to that but its probably best to simply drink straight from the bottle. This way your intentions are made from the instant you start drinking.

Wine etiquet is essential to impress people and let them know you can be fancy and classy all at once. So like its good one dates for impressing girls and junk and can make you seem like a cultered guy at dinner parties. But unless you're a serious wine taster that buys expensive wines... Use a wine glass and make sure its clean and a suitable size and you should be fine.

Dear Joe,

My Scientific Advisor has suggested that by using the power of our mind through drugs such as LSD or special mental exercises, people can observe other-dimensional information. This reminds me of a movie I saw when I was a kid, where this dude travels back into time using the power of his mind -- but when he finds a 1982 penny in his pocket, he immediately comes back to his reality -- a very cheesy movie. What I want to know, is "Can I travel through time using the power of my mind?" -- and, "How?".

Thank you. I'll make sure to bring you back something cool, like Leonardo DaVinci's fingernail.
Goodnight.

- D

Well I'm not sure if you could physically travel through time. You could probably trick yourself into thinking you were what with an overactive imagination, halucingenic drugs and a penchant for reading classic litterature. Despite what tv and comic books have told me according to the supreme court of Canada (Professor Peabody VS the people) there is no physical way to travel through time. I suggest however you set out to prove them wrong. All these uptight judges with their laws of physics and time and space make me sick to my stomach.

 

Also... Please bring me back something much cooler than a fingernail... Maybe a crossbow or a catapult.

 

 

I didn't know beer was good cold. Is ignorance of the law is not an excuse! What about not being Irish? Greeks don't drink, put God do they olive oil everything in sight, including each other.

-Acedealer

Well what the Greeks do in the comfort of their own home is there own business... And the topic of a rather saucey video called Olive My Oil... I suggest you search it out. Top noch quality naked wrestling...


Anyways... Not being Irish is no excuse. "A one that is not cold is not a one at all!" Take those words to heart and so on...

 

Joe, why is my room messy?

-Ryoushi

Cause you're a lazy slob? You probably stink too.

 

I wonder, did God distract Eve and all the other creatures with a giant bag of popcorn while Adam did his business?

-Kelaxis

Only while walking down Barrydown infront of Z103. Other than that I can safely say no. Well that's the only recorded occassion that I found in the bible. Its possible that it happened many times I guess but it just got to be a lame repeating joke that dug its own grave. Thusly all other references to it were cut during the editing process.

 

What exactly do you have to do to get a decent back rub around here?

-YellowFlannelShirt

 

$10 Standard Rub.... $100 Special Rub...

 

Why does tuna smell like chicken?

-Noplacia

Probably because you're crazy and were dropped on head thusly mxing up your smell receptors. Tuna smells like tuna... unless I'm crazy and was dropped on my head thusly mixing up my smell receptors... But I'm fairly sure I'm right on this one. I mean disregard almost everything else I said... But I think I'm right. Fish does not smell like poultry in anyway. Except in Bizzaro world. But in that case you would have asked me "why does chicken smell like tuna?" Which is a completely different question altogether... Ergo I don't have to answer it.

Ok that's all for now... Keep the questions coming!
