It's funny 'cause it's true...

...At least if you're a dork like me.

I will confess to be being guilty of any number of typos if I feel hurried or somewhat agitated, but I read this passive aggressive revolution and giggled.

Why? Because I'm an effing dork, that's why.

"Copy Editor's Revenge Takes Form Of Unhyphenated Word

February 27, 2006 | Issue 42•09

BOSTON—Bruce Huntoon, a copy editor at Pilot magazine, intentionally did not correct the copy of columnist Justin Mann Monday. "I am tired of that insufferable asshole's mean-spirited jokes," Huntoon said. "So, when he described the carburetor warmer as a 'twentieth century' invention, I decided to leave the copy untouched and let him deal with the consequences of his actions. The fucker." Huntoon said the unhyphenated compound modifier is the most extreme step he has ever taken, adding that he drafted a resignation notice that he will hand in should his superiors notice the omission."

Canadian Music Week, bien sur!

The weekend is approaching -- with it comes one of two major annual music fests. Canadian Music Week, also known as CMW.

So within a few days, I will be exhausted, hauling aroung a notebook and aching feet and three-to-four days worth of hangovers, crazy late nights and clutching earplugs wherever I go.

Sounds horrifying, but it's actually pretty good fun. Am looking forward to it. Hope I can find enough cash to buy beer.

At my age, smuggling is just plain embarassing... though vastly more economical.

My horoscope for today is funny. And true. Take heed, my little friends!

"Heaven help anyone who decides that it might be fun to see just how far you can be verbally pushed, because right about now, it won't be very far at all. If people came with warning labels, in fact, yours would say something like 'Danger. Do not test me.' Of course, as fiery as you are, this situation isn't all that rare, so the next best thing would be to have a t-shirt made up for occasions such as this."

"Come play with us, Danny..."

Anyone else greatly amused by the current slogan for the Vancouver 2010 winter Olympic games?

"Come Play With Us."

I mean, it smacks so much of The Shining. All it's missing is two fresh-faced twin girls, holding hands while inviting a little boy on a Big Wheel to join them. There might be flashes of a bloodied hallway and mutilated, chopped-up corpses.

"Come play with us, Danny," they say in eerie unison.

Oh, yes. A remarkable slogan indeed. Idiots.
