Things I like to think about other than what to have for dinner

• Whenever I go to the gym, I’ll go up to some huge muscle-bound dude and ask him how much he can “bench”. No matter what he says, I reply, “That’s not what your mom told me.” The great thing about mom jokes is that they work in every single situation. Like if you’re waiting for the bus and someone asks what time it is, just say, “Your mom is fat.” Jokes are the best.

• Do you think the Boogie Man got his name because he really likes to boogie? If that’s the case, there’s really nothing to be afraid of. Personally, I would be more scared of the Line Dancing Man.

• If you ever pass someone walking their dog, you should exclaim in a loud voice, “I can’t remember the last time I ate a dog! You just can’t get good dog around here!” Dog owners love that kind of stuff. Although in all seriousness, I’ve heard that in certain places in the world, eating dog is really frowned upon. You know what you should have instead? Chicken nuggets. Or, if you're a vegetarian, try some sprouts. I have no idea what those are but they sound delicious.

• The biggest trick you can pull off in a job interview is to maintain eye contact and to keep a straight face when you tell them that “being sexy” is your greatest strength. If they ask you what your greatest weakness is, say, “Right now… you.” Then wink at them.
• I don’t know about you guys, but whenever I’m lost in the woods and come across a gingerbread house, I always think about Hansel and Gretel. Every. Single. Time.

• “If I could be any character from Game of Thrones, I would be Han Solo.” And then I was chased by a gang of furious nerds. Fortunately their virginity slowed them down long enough for me to escape. Just kidding nerds… we’re good right? May the force let you live long and prosper.

• One of the things that really gets my goat is when people sneak into my yard and steal my goat. HAHAHAHAHAHA Oh man, it doesn’t get any better than that.

• Technically speaking, I’m a ghost hunter. But strictly catch and release, because that’s the sportsmanlike way to do it. Unless it’s a real trophy quality ghost… those ones I stuff and mount on my wall. Even though you can’t see them with your inferior mortal eyes.

• After spending months learning Spanish, my favorite phrase to use is probably, “Hey chicka, do you want to do the boom-boom?” Which means,
“Can you please tell me where the library is?” The Spanish are a very passionate people when it comes to their libraries.

• Sometimes when nature gets too big for its britches by having tornadoes and volcanic eruptions, I like to turn the tables by going to the zoo and throwing my poo at the monkeys. Let’s see how nature likes that.

• Recently in the Senate, there has been a lot of debate about what the best superpower is. Many favour super strength or the ability to fly and they make some pretty good arguments but be on the lookout for those guys who want x-ray vision or the ability to be invisible. Those guys definitely wouldn’t use those powers for good. Hint: they are perverts.

• Sometimes I think the best thing about moths is that they like banging into lights. Over and over again, like they’re completely stupid or something.

• Lions are known as “The king of the jungle” but the thing is, lions really don’t spend a lot of time in jungles. They mostly hang out in those grassy plains in Africa chasing gazelles and what not. You know who the real king of the jungle is? Probably some really smart monkey. That would be my guess.

• The worst thing about endangering your own existence by messing with the space/time continuum is…

• I for one am dreading the day that puppies and kittens make the next evolutionary leap and take vengeance on their owner/overlords by shooting laser beams from their eyes. Wait, can I change my answer from “dreading” to “greatly anticipating”?

• If you ever find yourself with access to a time machine, don’t go back to the days of the dinosaurs. It’s essentially the same thing as camping. Except you might run into a dinosaur.

• I would have been a world class gymnast but I could never master any of the moves, especially the straightforward summersault. It’s a shame too, because I was always excellent at getting my hands all chalky.

• It’s a little known fact that 90% of the people in Japan are named “Mr. Roboto.” That’s one of the main reasons they’re such an industrious people. That and they eat a lot of sugary snacks. Have you ever noticed that facts are stupid?

• If there’s one thing that advanced algebra has taught me is that if we’re ever under attack by an army of zombies, the first thing I’m going to do is change into a werewolf. Those zombies would be all, “Whaaaaat?”

By the way, everything I’ve just typed is about real stuff. Except the part about learning something from algebra.

My Resignation Letter

This is why I am unemployable. I think my hatred of authority made me a great manager and a really shitty employee.

November 19, 2021

Good day,
I regret that our introduction to each other comes within this context, however, I feel that I have been left with little choice but to resign from the Government of Alberta.

It is not the intent of this letter to offer any arguments against the current policy regarding the sharing of health information or any other covid mandate. Those arguments have been made by better qualified men and women, specialists in their respective fields, as well as countless members of the self-educated laity.

To state it baldly, I do not intend to share my personal health information with my employer.

We are being mandated to take a drug, described as a “safe and effective” vaccine, which at best is inefficient and at worst, dangerous and even lethal, in order to stay employed. As a concession, we are being offered to spend our resources of time and money for testing ...

I didn't do this...

...but I totally would have.

Grammar is important.

A proud moment...

Yeah, I built this beautiful outhouse. It's ok if you are stunned with wonderment.

An Article About YOU

I may or may not know you personally, but either way, I can tell you some absolute facts about you.   The first is that you are wholly and completely unique.  You are one of a kind and following the rule that rarity can equate to value, then you are priceless.   You are one of the most complex and amazing things on earth.  You specifically are incredible!

You have talent.  You have skills.  You have things to show and teach to others.  You have incredibly strong and complex emotions.  You have done things that have affected the entire world, performing actions that created ripples in a pond that stretch out beyond your wildest imagination.  You have done good things that have helped people (even when, or perhaps especially when, you didn’t even realize it!)  You have changed lives.  These are all facts and they are indisputable.   Even though every human can lay claim to these things, each and every single one of us, you for instance, are wholly unique in what you’ve done, seen, felt, and thought.    

You have the capacity for great good and also for great evil, likely in even measures.   How awe inspiring is that?  You have this unbelievable potential and if you are reading this, then you have purpose and meaning!  You are alive and existing for a reason (or many reasons!)  Your work here is not yet done and neither I, nor you, have any idea when your reason for existing will be complete.    That is just one more amazing, irrefutable fact about you.

I don’t know how old you are, what gender you are, what your sexual orientation is, or what color your skin is.   I don’t know which side of the political spectrum you are on.  I don’t know what movies you like, what kind of music you enjoy or the kinds of food that are most appetizing to you.  I don’t know any of that and it doesn’t matter – all of the things that are wonderful about you that I mentioned above still apply.  

You, my possibly unknown friend, are a wonder and a miracle.   My greatest wish for you is that you accept that fact.   I hope you believe it and I hope that never have cause to question it.   But the cool thing is even if you don’t believe it, it doesn’t stop it from being true.   Even with all your power and strength (of which you have in great amounts!) you cannot change the fact, the unshakeable reality, that you are incredible.  

I can say, with all honesty and sincerity, that if we met, there would be things about you that I would absolutely love.

Thanks for being you.
