PANKs In Spanks

I’ve been called a lot of things in my day, Pumpkins, but never a PANK. Although it sounds like something that comes in black or beige, crotchless or not, and impossible to remove without a forklift –being a PANK apparently makes me highly prized…

May I Idle?

I think it’s just marvey that aboriginal peoples want Canadians to stop idling. It’s such a filthy habit. Who wants to breathe all that unnecessary exhaust? Especially in summer when I’m trying to be seen at a Yorkville terrace.…

What's New, Pussycats?

I’ll tell you what’s new. Everybody’s reinventing, rejigging, circum-figuring and circum-resizing themselves. It’s normal. It’s what one does at such momentous time line conjunctures – while waiting for hockey to return. My own navel gazing has fruited Pussycats for…

I Am Ready!

Yes, Pumpkins, I’m primed, greased and raring to see the back side of 2012. The infernal thing just won’t end. And even the end wasn’t to be. Those Mayans were onto something, though, besides inventing hot chocolate belly shots…

Nobody Likes A Snitch

Transat snitches snatched the opportunity to hurt their own company, Pumpkins. They blabbed about accounting issues, bad management and fashion crimes. For shame. I remember when there was a code. Even back in the days of bosses boinking in the…

Put Your Mouth Where Your Money Is

Honestly, dahrlings… don’t be selling me no cream cheese when you don’t have any cows in the stable. Just a bunch of bulls. WestJet is calling for a female quota system – they are campaigning to get more women…

I'm Facing A Real Diadema

Before I get to eviscerating marketing people – all of whom merit regular paddlings – I should point out today is a propitious day for the rest of us, Pumpkins. Today is 12/12/12. (It is the last of these…

As The Pot Turns

In legalizing marihuana, Washington State has created a smokin’ travel opportunity, Pumpkins. I suggest you start herding potheads into some semblance of groups. Alongside wine tours, Washington tourism organizers expect tremendous growth in weed tours. Vintage varietals will be…

What's Black & Red All Over?

Does anyone wear rouge anymore, dahrlings? Vile stuff, really. No matter how you smear it on, you look like you’re wearing drug store makeup. Well, apparently AC’s Calin and Michael like it. (And although Calin’s an habitué to being…

Can You See What's Really Happening Here?

AC will install “premium” economy seats in some planes in 2014. WS is already riveting them into position for a January launch. You see what’s happening here don’t, you? (Besides the fact that it is now so obvious…
