You know the world has had a helluva week when...

From The Independent:


I know it's not a comment but... am I really supposed to click through 683 photos?

Toys R Us formula - they could have at least offered a sale


[From CBC News]

I would also like to add... why did they illustrate this story with photo of a bunch of people lined up outside Toys R Us in the rain?

Throw that fecal matter right back at 'em! Woo!

Canadian youth woefully overimplicated in homework: report

I couldn't resist posting my own comment today. Well really, the girl's not even looking at novels, she's in the reference section! [cbc.ca]

The Barenaked Ladies make us proub to be Canadian

Comments from an old 1990s performance of "If I Had a Million Dollars" before the Barenaked Ladies became famous. (My runner up fave comment was: This isn't the original it's a remake!")

Twaddle, penury, vapidities, circumjacent, foolesses, and ghastly bosh!

Had trouble finding a funny comment today--there's a lot of vitriol out there, people. I finally decided if I was going to pass on hateful comments, they should at least enlarge your vocabulary.


From the San Francisco Museum site. Bierce's comments go on like this for several more paragraphs.

Kinder Egg Surprise border seizure!

I just read the story about a Kinder egg being seized at the border from Canada to the US. Like most Canadians, I had no idea they were banned south of the border because they present a choking hazard. I did know, however, there'd be good comments about it.  [The following are from the AFPCBC, the Globe and Mail. ]

Everything I Need to Know About Life I Learned From Twilight

There's this fitness blogger who I gather didn't used to eat meat; but she had difficulty getting enough protein, so she announced on her fitness blog that she was now eating chicken. There are 400 comments, and out of those I skimmed, here's the bestest "listen to your body" comment of All Time (along with a snippet of the post itself.)

OMG coming Monday January 10!

Like most of you, I enjoy surfing the nets and watching youtube videos and reading articles. But more than that, I love reading the comments that people leave on youtube videos and articles. There's a lot of étrange-ness in this world, and why should étrange comments only flash in the pan and then disappear into interland obscurity?

No, these comments need to be shared and immortalized, like great classics. And that is what I propose to do. Monday to Friday, beginning January tenth.

Do come and see me, dahlings. Talk to me or I'll be lonely!

And if you come across some funny or weird or stupid or crazy comments yourself, send them to me!

See you Monday.
Ta!
