Legacy

Gravestones: the first reads "Bernard P Hopkins - Dec 2 1904 - Jan 22 1993". The second reads: "Legacy of BPH: Liar - Thief - Cheat - Selfish - Unsharing - Unloving - Unkind - Disloyal - Dishonorable -  Unfaithful"

Read These Signs Carefully!

People don’t read instructions carefully when they’re sober, never mind when they’re at a pub. I’m sure these signs are a constant source of awkwardness (for the victims) and amusement (for the audience) at whatever bar they’re at.

Toronto Tumblr Meetup – Friday, April 27th, 8 p.m. at Sin & Redemption

I thought I’d help get the word out: Rayanne and Nicole are holding a Toronto Tumblr meetup tomorrow night at 8:00 p.m. until whenever at Sin & Redemption. “Come for the excellent beer selection, stay for the hilarious internet nerdiness,” Nicole says.

I don’t have a Tumblr — the Accordion Guy blog has been serving that function so incredibly well for nearly 11 years — but many of my friends do, Anitra’s in town and hasn’t been there, and I haven’t been to S&R in a dog’s age. See you there!

If you want to attend, be sure to RSVP on the meetup’s Facebook page.
