Canadian Celebrities in the Near Buff
I just found out that Saturday Night (the magazine) will be putting out a swimsuit issue with Canadian celebrities as an homage to summer. Some of the celebrities included in the near-naked are Pamela Anderson (who is indeed Canadian), Rick Mercer (from This Hour Has 22 Minutes and Made in Canada), David Suzuki (esteemed naturalist) to name a few. Good times :)
The Fries No Longer Known As French
There is a restaurant in North Carolina which no longer sells French Fries, they sell Freedom Fries, as a expression of their dislike of the French. Now French Fries are about as french as Ghandi was. I don't remember the origins of them but I do know that they are not french.
Sometimes I wonder where some Americans get these thoughts. Show your dislike for the french by not eating french fries. What's next? Here is a hand guide to familar foods and phrases in anti-France America:
French Toast = Freedom Toast
Chocolate Eclair = Chocolate Freedom Pastry
Deja Vu = Something that feels like it's happened before in the name of Freedom
Jerry Lewis = Jerry "The Freedomator" Lewis
Just to name a few. Come up with you own. It's a fun game. Crazy Americans.
Friday Five - Feb. 21st, 2003
Friday Five once again:
1. What is your most prized material possession?
I don't think I have one. When I was a comic book collector I would have probably picked one (or all) of my comics. Right now I'm not sure. I have too many possessions (mostly in the form of books, CDs, records and DVDs). Next question!
2. What item, that you currently own, have you had the longest?
It would probably be my stuffed dog named Scruffy (at least I think that is what I named him). I got him from my godmother a couple of days after I was born. I've got pictures of me and the dog. I really should dig him out of storage.
3. Are you a packrat?
Without a question. My dad is a bigger packrat than I am. He actually built a barn just to store all of him crap in. Whenever we are out there trying to find something he always likes to remind me "When I die you and your brother are going to have to clean all this stuff up". :)
4. Do you prefer a spic-and-span clean house? Or is some clutter necessary to avoid the appearance of a museum?
Since I've been living with housemates for the past 7 years I would have to say that I like the common living areas being relatively clean (not spic-and-span but clean). My personal living area (the bedroom) can be as messy as I want it to be. I'm the only one that has to live in it so why should I worry about other people. That might change once (and if) I ever have a girlfriend.
5. Do the rooms in your house have a theme? Or is it a mixture of knick-knacks here and there?
Yes. We have a place we like to call "the living room" and another called "the bathroom". There is also "the kitchen", "the bedrooms" and the "dining room". There is even "the office" and "the laundry/furnace room". Plus the "router room". :)
