Yurkos song of the day: I Will Follow- by U2

"There is no such thing as edible, nay delicious, meat pie floater, its mushy peas of just the right consistency, its tomato sauce piquant in its cheekiness, its pid filling tending even towards named parts of the animal. There are platonic burgers made of beef instead of cow lips and hooves. There are fish 'n' chips where the fish is more than just a white goo lurking at the bottom of a batter casing and you can't use the chips to shave with. There are hot dog fillings which have more in common with meat than mere pinkness, whose lucky consumers don't apply mustard because that would spoil the taste. It's just that people can be trained to prefer the other sort, and seek it out. It's as if Machiavelli had written a cookery book.
Even so, there is no excuse for putting pineapple on a pizza."

A very lengthy quote today by anyones standards but its more of an excerpt than a quote. This one comes from the Novel The Last Continent by Terry Pratchett of which i am currently reading. It probably wont make a great deal of sense to well anyone who hasnt read the book but it comes from one of those little footnotes that he so happily uses throughout all of his novels. Its a rather funny one in my opinion most especially the last line there and more or less one that i agree with. So yes anywho.

Siiggh, you win this round CMT canada; i admit defeat, never to know the title of that elusive song that was actually good and not in the slightest countryish. One day you may allow me to download that song you damn redneck bastards but not today.

Not a great deal to talk about here, but there is bits and pieces here and there of stuff to blather on about for a good 5min or so. Firstly my movie reccomendation for today is a truely great film called "The Sting" Its a great piece of work that takes place in the depression and depcicts a bunch of con artists (led by Paul Newman and Robert Redford) and is actually very funny and suprising both at the same time. Just the sheer slick factor in how they pull everything off is worth watching the movie alone and i couldnt reccomend it more. GO RENT IT DAMNIT!

Wholey crap buying a vehicle is a gongshow. Not that i bought one myself per se (see people do learn all sorts of things off your site there jackie) but we needed a thrid vehicle so after what has been a rather gongshow process in itself for the last while we went to pick it up at the dealership down south in the land I forgot. Getting the damn thing wasnt the hard part, the tricky stuff was getting the insurance because happily the insurance place was closed due to the stampede parade until 12:00 forcing us to wait till then. Once insurance was had there was the happy jaunt trying to find a CAA, waiting in line to get the plate and finally getting the damn plate. Im almost tempted to walk everywhere from now on knowing all the work behind this. But then again vehicles are a necessity in this day and age, plus they make you look somewhat cooler than walking everywhere that and the most importaint reason of all im lazy as all hell. Hooray vehicle! Hmmm odd that ive got something to drive before i can drive but meh its an importaint step in the process that has no been fufilled. Plus 6 disc cd-changers are damn fun, no more switching cds for I.

Gotta go toss another few logs on the smoldering fire of rage there. Grrr... damn people, im not gonna elaborate on this until it plays out but 10-1 it will as im thinking so expect a huge crapload of rage in the coming week so batten down the hatches there cause im probably gonna blow.
Yeah well like i said not a great deal to elaborate on, still awaiting my government check in the mail, same goes for my Alberta Ed marks. Hope they come soon cause it would be great to know if i need to spend the money on the usual nothing importaint or put it towards gas money while i hunt for some menial labour job to do for the rest of my life (I really hope i dont have to elaborate on why i would be searching for a minimum wage job for the rest of my life cause if i do ill be very sad). Oh i just realised i didnt say what kind of vehicle we got, well its a Ford Escape. Yes yes i know, obligatory ford joke here, but meh i could care less; its got 4 wheels, it moves me places, i didnt have to pay for it and i get from point A to Point B so its damn fine enough. Only complaint is its not a car but ill live.

Till Next Ramble
