The Crowd at a Rock Show

The webcomic Subnormality has done a good job at summing up the audience at a rock show:

It Happened to Me

Even for “Engrish”, This is Incomprehensible

I work just south of Chinatown, where I saw this t-shirt on sale on Friday:

Engrish t-shirt seen on Spadina

Odd as Engrish can be, it usually makes at least some sense. Whoever made this shirt wasn’t even trying.

Why I’m a Good Movie Date

I provide at least as much entertainment as the movie itself:

Me in a cardboard cutout poster for “Made of Honor”

(By the bye, we saw Forgetting Sarah Marshall last night and it was pretty entertaining. Perhaps not as memorable as other Judd Apatow-produced films as The 40 year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up or Superbad, but still fun.)

The Punk Rock Jacket Generator

Here’s another “generator” along the lines of the Self-Cutting Generator I wrote about yesterday: The Punk Rock Jacket Generator. An example of its output is shown below:

The Self-Cutting Generator

First, we had the Church Sign Generator. Then the Tombstone Generator. But finally, there’s something for the emo kid in all of us: the Self-Cutting Generator!

Here’s an image I made using the Self-Cutting Generator:

Even though a transit strike might not happen on Monday, if you live and work in Accordion City, you really should be making contingency plans. The Toronto Star published a Strike Survival Guide today featuring information on carpooling, where to park, where not to park, cycling, using GO Transit, getting a cab, going to the airport, highway driving, getting an ambulance, and service for the disabled.

Bob Kinnear’s Funny Bogus Wikipedia Entry

Last night, someone frustrated with the impending public transit strike here in Accordion City (slated to start at 4 a.m. Monday if this weekend’s negotiations fail) decided to do a little creative editing of Amalgamated Transit Union Local 113 leader Bob Kinnear’s entry in Wikipedia. Knowing the edit would be corrected in short order and wanting to preserve this for posterity, I took a screenshot of the page, which appears below:
