I'm Cultivating My Muffin

I have cotton head, Pumpkins. My homeopath says it’s yeast. Now I’m afraid to sit under the dryer in case I bake something. Speaking of which, the McTavishes just rolled into some dough by selling their biz to the Mennonites…

Did Someone Call Shelley Winters?

With the Poseidon Adventure playing out on high def TV screens all over North America, we have some fires to put out, Pumpkins. Holy Titanic! A couple of rocks and poof, the Med flows into the theatre! Call me…

Why Am I Here?

It’s January, Pumpkins, and while it might be warm here in the T-dot by frostbitten Canadian standards it’s still pretty nipply for a woman of my breeding and skimpy sartorial tastes.  The news boy got his fix of Cuban…

We're On The Wrong Side

Looking to expand your business, dahrlings? Go east, young entrepreneur. And I don’t mean Halifax.  In case you haven’t noticed, Asia’s exploding. The travel industry over where the sun rises makes Canada’s ITC Inc. look like Horton’s Whoville. The…

Is It 2012 Yet?

Hellooo! Is anybody still out there? I don’t see any signs of the impeding apocalypse, Pumpkins. Although by midnight on the 31st , I wouldn’t have recognized armageddon from a mastodon. My astrologer actually says the stars, planets…

I'm Fine With Full Disclosure. Really.

I knew it would come to this, Pumpkins. The feds were bound to mandate full disclosure at some point. Although the law doesn’t go into effect until next Christmas, I think it’s best I grab the bull by the horns.…

Is There A Dear Leader In The House?

The Kim is dead. Long live the Kim. It’s really no wonder Kim Jong Il was a pissant tyrant with weird hair, Pumpkins. Who calls their son Kim? You just know that kid will grow up a bully. “Hey,…

Finally, An Emoticon With Feeling

Emoticons remind me of squealy 12 year old girls passing notes. I was never twelve, Pumpkins. At least not the smiley face kind. But someone has had the good sense to invent a sarcasm emoticon – they call it SarcMark…

Gone With The Wing!

Well, I do declare, Pumpkins! I never thought the south would be taken by a Canadian. In capturing Atlanta’s Vacation Express, the Hunters have cunningly invaded the U.S. market. Soon the orange flag will fly all over the south east…
