COMMENT OF THE DAY: What if Kim Jong-Un drank Gandhi’s blood?

Posted by gruesomegreg on

From:  http://www.cnn.com/2013/05/21/world/europe/uk-gandhi-auction/index.html

It’s a pacifist blowout at Sotheby’s, where a wide variety of Mahatma Gandhi merchandise is going up for auction.  As per CNN, items include “A pair of shabby leather sandals once worn by Gandhi” as well as “A glass microscope slide with a trace of … Gandhi’s blood.”  Frankly, I don’t see how any non-vampire would wanna buy a dead man’s blood, unless…

I dunno guy, but I don’t think a trace of Gandhi’s blood would be enough to turn Kim into a pacifist.  But hey, at least he would have one drop of peaceful blood in his body.

COMMENT OF THE DAY: At least Rob Ford doesn’t smoke weed…

Rob Ford might have allegedly done all sorts of bad things, but one thing he’s never allegedly done is allegedly smoke joints.  This Toronto Sun reader provides proof:

Mind you, not all Dopesmokers weigh 600 pounds…

 

COMMENT OF THE DAY: Because you can’t spell anarchy without LCBO (Hey, waitaminnit!)

Posted by gruesomegreg on

From: http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2013/05/16/lcbo_looming_strike_fires_up_rhetoric_in_queens_park.html

Turns out the Mayans were only off by six months.  The world officially comes to an end at midnight tonight when employees of the LCBO, the government-owned liquor retailer for The Centre of the Known UniverseTM, will go on strike for the first time in their 87-year history.  Bring on the looting and rioting in the streets—and extra-long lineups at The Beer Store…

Can you just imagine what would happen if a truly important resource were to walk off the job, like the TTC?  *head explodes*

COMMENT OF THE DAY: Rob Ford better not put his magnet on this guy’s car!

Posted by gruesomegreg on

From: http://www.torontosun.com/2013/05/15/rob-ford-under-fire-for-leaving-humbertown-meeting-to-put-magnets-on-cars

On the latest episode of As the Gravy Train Turns, Rob Ford, The Mayor of This CityTM, leaves another meeting early.  But this time, it’s not to coach his championship-winning football team.  Instead, he was spotted sticking fridge magnets on constituents’ cars in the parking lot.  As the Toronto Sun reports, some of them are already up for grabs on Kijiji.  “Pair of very lightly used Rob Ford car magnets (may also double as a fridge magnet but no promises). Hand installed by The Mayor himself last night at the Humbertown redevelopment meeting in Etobicoke,” the seller wrote.  “Will happily trade for one iota of progress on The City’s transit file.”  Can you say Reserve Not Met?

And then there’s this guy, who wasn’t at the meeting—and it’s probably just as well…

Remember, it’s his car, he paid for it.

COMMENTS OF THE DAY: Start planning the funeral parade—Top 10 reactions to the Leafs loss

Posted by gruesomegreg on

In case you didn’t know, the Toronto Maple Leafs suffered a historic meltdown that was completely unprecedented in the wide, wide world of sports last night.  Suffice to say, there were plenty of unhappy Leafs fans (and players) on the interwebs today.  Here are 10 who made me chuckle:

10. The fix is in!  If the Leafs lost, it’s because the refs…

COMMENT OF THE DAY: Giving drug smuggling a whole new meaning…

Posted by gruesomegreg on

From: http://seattletimes.com/html/localnews/2020969103_potcarbonxml.html

Now here’s a problem I wish we had.  Washington, one of two states to legalize marijuana, is now concerned about the carbon footprint created by indoor grow-ops.  Apparently, for the amount of energy used to produce just one joint, you could have 18 pints of beer instead.  But I’d still hope the government-grown weed might be slightly cheaper than 8.5 litres of booze…

On the other hand, certain Seattle city councilors are concerned about pot-trucks being hijacked somewhere outside of Tacoma:

Hmm, I wonder if the Washington justice department has considered what penalty it might impose on the theft of legal weed.  Now that would surely make a judge’s head spin!

COMMENT OF THE DAY: Guidos in Space? Yeah Buddy!

From: http://news.nationalpost.com/2013/05/10/at-least-35-canadians-among-the-8000-who-have-applied-for-one-way-trip-to-mars/

The Mars Project aims to send four reality-show contestants to the Red Planet in 2023, funding their expedition through “an as-yet-unspecified ‘global media event’ that will feature the astronauts and their preparation.”  And you thought surviving a Japanese game show was tough?

Although the organizers prefer to use the term “educational project” instead of “reality TV show,” there’s no denying that MTV has a hole in its prime-time lineup after that Buckwild guy done got dead, so they obviously need to do something to attract the Jersey Shore crowd:

Wait, can you say Snooki & JWOWW… in Space!?  I might actually tune in to that one!

COMMENT OF THE DAY: A Mexican’s suggestion to improve the Canucks’ playoff fortunes…

Posted by gruesomegreg on

From: http://www.vancouversun.com/sports/hockey/vancouver-canucks/Vancouver+Canucks+Stanley+dreams+left/8357424/story.html

As the Vancouver Canucks, Canada’s (Least-Favourite) Team, deal with another disappointing early playoff exit—a first-round sweep, no less—fans and columnists are trying to figure out what needs to be done to make the team stop choking.  Fire the coach, fire the GM, fire the coach and the GM—or maybe just ban blowfish?  Then again, they could always do things the “Mexican way,” as this Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca resident suggests:

cotd59

I dunno guy, but construction companies have been doing it the Mexican Way in Montreal for years—and now most of these guys are out of a job and/or going to jail.  But hey, if the Guy Carbonneau Commission leads to the Canucks resigning from the NHL, I’d be all for it! :D

COMMENT OF THE DAY: Winnipeg Greenpeace sez… Save the snake, dumpster-cage the owner!

Posted by gruesomegreg on

From: http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/Live-python-found-in-garbage-bin-206562041.html

Big story outta Winnipeg today: A live python was found in a dumpster along with a broken aquarium.  Good news, the snake’s safe and sound, and Winnipeg Police are launching a full-scale investigation into the attempted snake-murderer…  or not.

Then again, there appears to be a certain segment of the population who values reptilian life more than that of reptile owners.  Case in point:

cotd58

I dunno guy, but I don’t think locking up negligent snake-owners improves my quality of life.  I mean, where do I put my garbage if the dumpsters are welded shut!?

COMMENT OF THE DAY: Cuz there ain’t no party like an East Coast party…

Posted by gruesomegreg on

From: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/story/2013/05/06/nl-sex-trade-boom-investigation-507.html

Apparently, offshore oil isn’t the only thing that’s gushing on The Rock.  As a CBC investigative report reveals, the Newfoundland sex trade is booming, with some girls taking home more money in a month than many Newfies earn in a year.  That said, several CBC commenters seem to be in favour of the legalization of prostitution, particularly for taxation purposes.  And then there’s this guy, who’s spent so much time kissing cod at piss-ups that he’s never actually kissed a girl:

Unfortunately, this question remains unanswered—until someone registers 2girls1trout.com. ;)
