brilliant:

my life in four frames:

Nothing says vengeful, not going to rest until I eat and devour your soul, kill all your family, and wipe you out of existence like the word jihad.

Well how it's been used nowadays. I think when news writers have been stretching for words to describe a "witch hunt" or some other situations like that they just jump buzz words that have been on the collective concience recently. Jihad just happens to be one of those buzz words, with the recent events in the middle east and America. It's on our concience and most "news informed" people have a rough understanding of what a jihad is. So when news writers invoke the word jihad people get a immediate picture of might what be happening. I think it's a little too strong a word for Mr Mulroney's situation, maybe vendetta would be more appropriate.

Alright enough of this brain stuff, back to my "free" day of work.

Which makes me wonder if they shouldn't just give the leap day as a holiday. It only happens every 4 years! Isn't that special enough for a holiday?

Item: End '15-year jihad' against Mulroney: spokesman

This has been like a 15-year jihad against Mulroney and his family by his enemies — led by Mr. Schreiber, enabled by some people in the media,” Robin Sears told CBC News shortly before a press conference in which he and lawyer Guy Pratte explained why Mr. Mulroney has refused to reappear before the committee.

You may have seen this already. I didn't think too much of it, but then I kept coming upon the link and some of these are actually pretty funny: garfield minus garfield:

Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolor disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life? Friends, meet Jon Arbuckle. Let’s laugh and learn with him on a journey deep into the tortured mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against lonliness and methamphetamine addiction in a quiet American suburb.

Hey Tony - are you still looking for a host for your bleeding ears party, or whatever it's called? (by the way, why '99?). I'm not so sure about the wisdom of having it at my townhouse, but my dad is going to Italy for 10 days mid-March and I'm sure we could use his house.

Just a thought.

apparently I need to be sent to pong out anonymous. (psst that was me)

Holy crap. I'm addicted to pong out!

I like the sound of the bleeding ears party fest. It has a kind of simple elegance that contradicts itself every step of the way. or something....

Now the party name is long enough to be a acronym:

OPBEPF99!

or

Op-Pro-Ble-Ear-Pa-Fest 99!

Still not as cool as Bi-Mon-Sci-Fi-Con :(
