James Moore: Bringing You Douchebaggery Since 2004

How does this guy still get elected? Boggles the freaking mind.

1. Those who say “we don’t need version control” are usually the people that really need version control.
2. Apparently you can attract a Stage 5 Clinger at a wedding without bedding her. Is 300 text messages a day “clingy?” That’s not the word I would use. My co-worker has some kinda talent that’s for sure.
3. Cooking with bacon fat is one of the simple pleasures in life. Everyone should do it. Yes, even vegetarians.
4. Ziplining is completely worth it. I need to check out Whistler’s zipline tours now that I’ve done Grouse. Anybody want to go this summer?
5. I saw some kids throwing firecrackers at each others’ faces, cackling like they do in Jackass. Is it bad that I wanted them to redirect their efforts to their genitals so they wouldn’t be able to reproduce? The one catch is that one of them was a girl, so that would require a white van and the help of the Chinese government.
6. From the Twitter page of one Emmanuel Arceneaux, BC Lions football player: “God gave us two ends — one to sit on and one to think with. Success depends on which one you use. Head you win, tail you lose.” Of course, outside of the philosophical postings, his remaining tweets are written like a teenager. You win some, you lose some I guess.
7. I was recently told I am a tall, handsome man by an 83 year old woman. Nice ego boost, you figure, even if she is doing it in a “you remind me of my grandson” kind of way. Then she proceeds to tell me she is legally blind. This about sums it up.
8. If you don’t have any plans for the weekend, you should check out the Resonance of Love concert at UBC on the 26th. A friend of mine organized it to raise some money for the Haitian earthquake disaster.
9. Anyone want to come see Nikki Yanofsky on July 3rd with me? QE Theatre. If you’re not familiar with her, think Ella Fitzgerald, except 16. Amazing talent.
10. Futurama is back! Huzzah!
