Before I dive into this topic, I’d like to point out that I am a hypocrite. I choose not to do recreational drugs which may have relatively minor side effects because I think they’re bad for me. But I have no trouble taking drugs that are “good” for me and my illness which have horrible side effects.

With that out of the way, I’d like to share with you my patchy research.

In the states in the US which have legalized marijuana, there are very strict guidelines one must follow. In my spotty research, I’ve found Crohn’s Disease on all the lists of diseases where sufferers get some relief.

In Canada, I understand that there are three types of people who can try to recieve legal marijuana. Group 1 are people with a terminal illness with 6 months to live or something like that. Group 2 are folk with a chronic disease and who get relief from weed. Group 3 is for everybody else who thinks they should be allowed to enjoy marijuana for medical reasons.

So. I’m feeling fine now (after the surgery), but since Crohn’s always comes back and is presently without a cure or a surefire drug, I might find myself on the non-lit end of a medicinal joint, legally, sometime in my future. Maybe I’ll even get a prescription for it. Go figure. If Crohn’s were contagious, people would smooch me in the street.

It’s always refreshing to look at where our hits come from, who the referers are.

So, I looked and was saddened to find folowing Google search criteria which returned our site, and was then clicked on because the searchers thought we had what they wanted:

(not for those easily offended)

• +”rob fletcher”+video (!!!)
• grandmother+sex+stories (disgusting)
• porn+e+cards (mildly amusing)
• sex+winamp+plug (mildly disturbing)

I can remember when you got when you searched for. Then I remember when you would find hardcore porn if you were looking for something innocent. Now the table has turned. All those porn freaks who made it so bad for us all are getting a taste of thier own medicine. Hard luck finding content when you wanted pr0n.

Are there any celebrities who share my name? If not, I should be concerned by porn hunter out there with my full name.

I can’t poke amusment out of that campaign, no matter how cheesy they appear to be, because the person creating those ads is unmistakably a genius. I say this because those commercials stick in your head for years.

I was also impressed by thier effort to make that anti-commercial with the skateboarders sitting on a fancy car going on about how stupid McCain commercials are and how much they love the mouth watering taste of pizza pockets. The second anticommercial just left me confused and hungry.

Now it seems McCain is using sex to sell thier frozen goods. It’s worse than a beer commercial. What’s the deal with that girl who looks like Elaine from Seinfeld? I was under the impression that the ladies preferred wine and fancy dinner to a lipsmackingly scrumptious McCain’s frozen pizza.

Maybe that’s why I’m 18 and still don’t have a wife and children.

I was idly looking up information on my old pal Woody Harrelson the other day, and I was saddened to see the lack of love on the site which bears his name.

You see, I met Woody on an Air Canada flight from Winnipeg to Montreal. I bumped into him so I said, “Excuse me”. To which he responded, “Sorry!”.

A Natural Born Killer just apologized to me. LARRY FLYNT apologized to me!

I digress.

This amazingly humble man deserves a nicer site. I wanted to know more about the man who can’t jump because of the pigment in his skin. I was sadly disappointed to only learn about his education and his birthday.

This is fucking weak guys, fucking weak. Let’s show some genuine respect and love for the hand that feeds us films of side-splitting hilarity.

You people make me sick.

I was on Microsoft’s netmeeting last night during the vanishing hour. I started to chat with somebody claiming to be a 22/f cheerleader/nursing student. I saved a capture of this so-called nursing student. Crazy nuts.

I am always happy when I see a Canadian performer become a household name in the States. Whenever I see these Canadians I get this odd little feeling in my belly (specifically the ileum) which is national pride.

Oddly enough I get this same feeling around a select few Yankee Doodle performers. Does this happen to anybody else?

Consider the following foreign actors:

• Steve Martin
• Tom Hanks
• Robin Williams

I think they are Canadian.

There are a few more out of towners who radiate Canadian pride, but the names escape me right now. You know who I mean, however, let me know if you can come up with any others, I’m interested.

It saddens me to think about how little Scrabble^® affects our everyday lives. It is no longer “hip” to discuss Scrabble^® with your peers. It has become like riding a moped, exciting, yet you hide it from your friends.

Last week I ordered a Deluxe Scrabble^® set. Yes, that is the one with the redwood tiles, rotating gameboard with anti-slip ridges for the tiles, and a quality crushed velvet tile bag.

If you don’t want to go as balls out as I did (respect me for my possesions), there are many other ways to support Scrabble^® in society:.

1. This for example is an inexpensive Scrabble^® board which can be easily hidden if your illiterate friends come along with thier favorite two by fours. Apparently it still functions like a normal board.
    
2. If you are proud of your association with Scrabble, you should own one of these and wear it daily. Regardless of your gender. Be sure to check out the novelty socks while you’re there.
3. If your street has covert “Scrabble^® Nights”, a discreet way to summon new players is to post one of these babies at the end of your road.

AOV supports Scrabble^®.

A fine website to visit for exciting snippets and great commentary from a smart person is SpinnWebe. I was prodding along his Brainshots section, enjoying myself, and I stumbled upon this one which talked about the “All Your Base Are Belong To Us” craze which I missed (living in a bubble at the time).

I was so amused by the little song-video, I sent it to an old war buddy who pointed out it was “sooo last month”. I decided to follow the handy link Spinn posted to the history of that craze I missed.

The page was interesting but not the focus of this post, the page DID have a link to Eskimo Bob a great series of Flash cartoons. I’m assuming the dudes behind it must be Canadian (I didn’t explore the page greatly, they might have posted this), because the cartoon targets us. One’s in french, another is familiar to us all (I can’t give that away).

It has the same charm as Pokey the Penguin. It’s funny because it doesn’t always make sense, and the characters have amusing titles.

Enjoy!
