Free Us From The Wackos

If old Pastor numb nuts burns the Qur’an, there’s going to be hell to pay, Pumpkins. Since he’s already lost his marbles, someone should finish the job and separate him from his bick. Lighter. Bick lighter. Relax. The fact…

Where's Anita Bryant When You Need Her?

Florida is being rather coy about its tourism orientation, Pumpkins. Cries of financial assistance are sounding a tad hollow against news of record bookings. I’m feeling very conflicted about whether or not the Gulf oil spill is a problem for…

Don't Touch My Syrup

Hold on to your pancakes, Pumpkins, now they’re after our maple syrup. Yes, those terrorist folk have syrup production in their sights. It’s obviously an evil ploy to break down the very fabric of our society. Our glue. Dare I…

A Female Horse Stuffed With Wax: It's The Real Thing

Frankly, Pumpkins, I’m a little shocked. I visited the freshly translated French ACTA website and keenly read the Code of Ethics. You know how I am about such things. A stickler, really. Anyhoo, my French being a little rusty since…

Tweeters Never Prosper

British Prime Minister David Cameron found himself in a tight place last year when he proclaimed during a radio interview: “The trouble with Twitter, the instantness of it – (is that) too many twits might make a twat.”  Now I’m…

I'm Fatigued

Seems everyone’s got the fatigue, Pumpkins. From the looks of things at the office, fashion fatigue is rampant. (Although I don’t think the dinkettes’ light brush with fashion concerns was ever enough to claim overload. Poor lugs really don’t have…

I'm Growing Into My Big Fat Sun Brochure

There’s no mistaking that it’s almost that time of year when it gets to be that time of year again, eh Pumpkins? The winter glossies are hitting the travel trenches with a thud. Is it just me or are…

Later Slater And Other Weirdo Heroes

Overnight, Steven Slater is the service sector’s Captain Fantastic. Waitresses, sales clerks and travel agents are hailing the feisty flight attendant for doing what none of us have the gumption to. (And, from what I’ve seen, some of you have…

Say Goodbye To The Big Beaver

Pumpkins, here is an important travel item you’ll want to make note of: Border Services Are Closing Underused Big Beaver Port of Entry. I’ve never been to Big Beaver, but I understand it’s south of Regina and apparently it…

Security Face Off

Baird has declared everyone has to show face – not show faith – before boarding a plane. Sort of no point in showing your picture otherwise, don’t you think? I have nothing against people covering themselves up from head…
