Urban hermit, working stiff, occassional teller of witty jokes (strictly amateur), and terminally Canadian.

At first I misread this as "'Stars And Stripes' Plays Loudly Forever", which is a lot more nightmarish than the original text.

I read this through three times straight, and now I'm chewing Aspirin tablets and waiting for the ambulance.

Just did the Homer Simpson crank-with-a-typewriter thing and sent an email to Home Hardware corporate office demanding they open a store in Toronto's underserved midtown area. In fairness, though, we really need a hardware store around here. a half-hour TTC ride to get picture nails is ridiculous.

I still remember hearing that during the January 6th insurrection, Nancy Pelosi's younger staff members took charge and barricaded fellow staff in a side room. Pelosi was impressed and asked where the got their training, and they explained it was from all the school shooter drills in their youth.

I noticed that everyone on BlueSky is dunking on GenX today. As a GenXer myself, I have to say the idea of a generation famous for being ignored, and then finally recognised only to be berated shamelessly by other generations, seems incredibly on-brand. Poetic, even.

All of a sudden I'm drawing a connection between old-school shirt-and-tie Dilbert and Michael Douglas' character in 'Falling Down'.

If Steve Albini in the last few years of his life can recant and apologise for his decades of edge-lord posturing, then there's surely hope for all of us.

As a Gen Xer all *I* have to say is: can someone recommend a good pain-relief cream? 'Cause Voltaren doesn't work as well on me as it used to.

I do recall we were smarter back in the day about putting up buildings that regulated temperature without artificial means. Like urban planning before cars and sprawl, it's something of a lost art, isn't it?

I wish architects in North America would go to Africa and the Middle East and take notes on how to build buildings that stay cool through airflow. We can't just keep slapping AC units onto everything.

Didn't The Who put out a compilation album with this title? I'm sure it included 'Magic Public Transit Conveyance' and 'I Can See For Kilometres'.

I'm pretty convinced the "Jesus fed 5000 with five fishes" story was originally about how if everyone shares there's enough for everyone but at some point the church came along and said "no no, jesus did a magic trick"

Best part is Watterson only came up with the character on a whim. It was supposed to be a throwaway joke for the haircut storyline, but he ended up writing Tracer Bullet into several strips afterward.

In 1986 in eastern Ontario I had to explain to my Grade 11 Marketing teacher that 'Born In The USA' was not a rah-rah patriotic song. That was one of my first teen-aged indicators that adults were not as smart as I had been led to believe.

That's more the issue here. Cars in North America are far too large and, unless you're a building contractor, you really don't need anything bigger than a sedan for most driving purposes. At this point automakers should be forced to re-introduce compact cars to the market, profit share be damned.

Y'know, I like dark humour, believe me. But I still miss the olden days when Onion articles were more along he lines of 'Area Man Confused By Jim Carrey In Serious Movie Role'. I mean, I laughed, but... Holy Christ, dude.

Because they honestly think they're smarter than everyone else and that the rest of us are idiots who deserve to be poor and stolen from. Wealth starts as a prize, but eventually it becomes a self-justifying prophesy.

People always date the point when everything started going to shit from Bowie’s death for some reason but Joey Ramone died April 15, 2001, which seems like a much better candidate.

Sometimes you think of the perfect add-on comment to a darkly humorous thread, but then you realise your reply is probably too dark even for an already dark thread, and perhaps you should just delete that perfect comment and not drag the discourse down any further.
