Tourists on flipped bus tossed 'like a salad'

That's the headline in the star last week: http://www.thestar.com/article/350489
you can now go to the star website, type in "tossed salad" in the search bar, and get a hit.


My other favorite is from last year at the Under-18 World Cup was in Toronto. The Chilean flans got pissed over a red card and they semi-rioted; the cops had to come and use tazers on them. The headline: "Red-Hot Chile Gripers" http://ottsun.canoe.ca/News/National/2007/07/21/4356606-sun.html

I used to wish that I could be an NBA player or... well i guess that's it. But my new dream job is to write headlines full of innuendo and puns. that would make me happy.

actually, check out this job:http://www.newyorker.com/talk/2008/03/10/080310ta_talk_widdicombe

basically, you read a bunch of books and meet a bunch of people, then on the plane, you tell movie producer brian grazer about it. the idea is that grazer is too busy to learn, so you'd learn for him. apparently, the job also pays in the 6-figures. so you'd b ein hollywood, but you could always ratioanlize away the soulessness.

here's an awesome essay by michael chabon on the meaning of superhero costumes:
http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2008/03/10/080310fa_fact_chabon

"Now the time has come to propose, or confront, a fundamental truth: like the being who wears it, the superhero costume is, by definition, an impossible object. It cannot exist."

watched annie hall for the first time on saturday. woody allen, at his best, is fucking amazing.

upcoming movie im nost excited about? midnight meat train

whats up

where the fuck is the wire season finale on tmn ondemand.

the most thoughtful and awesome present i got for my bday is a nespresso machine from my dad


that thing is awesome. it makes really good espresso from these plastic pods. you just put it in, press the button, and drink coffee. im lazy so its good for me. the only downside is the heart palpitations. so next time youre over, ill make you a cup.


vazquez-marquez was last saturday. i missed it live, then when i searched for the video online, i got a headline about the result instead. it didnt matter though. the fight was so good that the result didnt matter. im not writing about the outcome, so youtube that shit. oh and anderson silva is a badass.


chris's going away party was good. nice performances by colin (rapper's delight), justin gayle (never gonna give you up) and chris (grapevince) though chris's wasnt as good as this http://youtube.com/watch?v=3poeBGG70zY

everyone got drunk, and so did i which isnt generally a bad thing. but ended on a bad note when i got into a bit of an altercation with another (more)drunkard over a cab. instead of letting it go i pressed the problem. in general im pretty easy going, but i still get these flashes when i let off steam but in a bad way. if youre a friend and reading this, it's your job to calm me down.

good luck to chris in chinaland!
