If you did any research only 1 registered hand gun was ever in an insolent so I guess  youre the F**ken idiot for not doing your home work. Go after the Bad Boys You brought into this country.

Putting the fox in charge of the hen house

…that’s a fair metaphor to describe the Ontario Convenience Store Association’s (OCSA) demand that they be permitted to sell booze.  (McGuinty has said no, and Hudak has refused to say yes.)

The last we heard of them, the OCSA was effectively the face of Big Tobacco in Ontario.  They lobbied vigorously against modest measures to keep kids from getting their hands on tobacco.

These characters are only interested in making more money.  They don’t give a sweet damn about harm to the public.


Around the kitchen table

[True exchange that happened at Kinsellabration© family reunion in B.C. a few weeks ago. Just thought of it, and it made me laugh again.]

Son Three [reacting to a statement by his brothers, whom he would prefer to live without]: That is the most stupidest thing I have ever heard.

Son Two, to much laughter: There’s no such thing as “most stupidest.” It’s either stupidest thing, or most stupid thing.

Son Three, with evident frustration: Fine. Then I’ll just look it up in the atlas, okay?


From the overflowing proud Dad file

So, out with Son One tonight.  He’s 14.  We found a new 7-11, and thus a new source of Slurpees.  A Good Thing.  Then, he asks me if I want to see the video he did.  Sure, says I.  Watch it on his device.  “Wow,” says me.  “Who did the animation and the coding and all that?”

“Me,” he says.

What I find amazing about this is that he learned to do this on his own, principally by watching some YouTube videos.  He explained that it’s incomplete, and is just a “test,” and that it tails off at the end.  But I told him I thought it was pretty neat, and would like his permission to show y’all.  He said sure – so here you go.


From the mailbox: the lunar effect

Does the full moon affect human behaviour, per today’s column?  Reader Gary Brigden sends along this interesting anecdote:

Warren: I worked at Spankys nightclub in Brampton from 1983 to 1987.  The owner noticed once a month we would have a much earlier crowd, more drinking and more fights. Sure enough, we got the books out and followed three years of stats. Without fail, on full moon nights, the crowd came earlier (we used to mark people in between 8 and 9, then 9 to 10 etc)., the drinking totals were about $2,500 higher (worked out to 2 drinks more per person) and lots more fights. (Usually two a night, whereas we might have one a week otherwise).

I would have never believed it, but the facts don’t lie.
