Revolution At The TCook AGM?

Apparently, Pumpkins, there was going to be a revolt. I love revolts. Yelling and marching and bandanas. It’s very cathartic. Down with capitalist pigs! I’m black and I’m proud! DO IN DA MAN!! Whew. Shareholders at this year’s TCook AGM…

Beware Of Knock-Off Valentinos

You can’t force love, dahrlings. I’ve seen situations where even real jewels didn’t work. And my pleading and drunken phone messages only seemed to aggravate him. Stalking can sometimes work, but it’s an art. But here’s a little advice…

Ken Talks!

Mattel has seen fit to give the image of the perfect male a voice rather than a penis. That is so the opposite of perfect. Apparently he even tweets. Figures. Like all men, he probably beams with pride about it.…

Wascally Wabbit!

We are entering a more refined era, dahrlings. According to the Chinese, The Year of The Rabbit should be rather more reasonable than the pugnacious Tiger. Placid, in fact. Which, of course, brings to mind flaccid. So far, I’m not…

Shukran, Dear Cairo

Brooding, smoky, dark eyed Cairo. I didn’t stand a chance with that shameless seductress. She had me at ‘Salam wa aleikum.’ Later, Khaled had me. After an evening of great food, laughing people and grinding belly dances – you almost…

I Don't Share – Especially Not My Time

I’ve never been big on sharing, Pumpkins. The idea of some little brat pawing at my Barbie’s Valentino still makes me cringe. Never liked little girls. Now the skanks want me to confide my emotions – share with us, Ivanna.…

Time To Lance A Boil

Yes, Pumpkins, I have it on good authority that Hugh Boyle is wandering around Britain boasting about “acting in a consulting capacity” to Air Atlanta Icelandic. Now, which one of you dear little gourds can tell me what recently launched,…

What Is Mexico Going To Do About Mexico?

I heard a bouncy Brad Miron and a genuine Janine Chapman tell the CBC that everything’s going to be alright. Phew. Because I was worried there for a moment that empty hotel lobbies and piles of idle taxies in PVR…

Time For Target Practice

Another low brow knock-off consumer hoover is aiming to win the hearts and minds of Canadians. I’m not referring to Arnie’s speaking tour which is more freak show than business. I’m referring to Target’s invasion – bringing more disposable lead…

What's Wrong With A Little Loaded Rhetoric Anyway?

Americans can be a wacky lot, Pumpkins. Now they’re on about loaded discourse being at the root of violence. My goodness, if I can’t engage in some cunning lingual acrobatics when I’m a little loaded, you may as well shoot…
