Accordion, Instrument of the Gods It Happened to Me

Recently discovered photos from Ashley’s wedding

Here are some photos of me and The Redhead at the wedding of my friends Ashley Bristowe and Chris “Turner” Turner (author of the upcoming book Planet Simpson: How a Cartoon Masterpiece Documented an Era and Defined a Generation), which took place in early January in the beautifully mountainous Canmore, Alberta:

“My baby don’ mess around because she loves me so, and this I know fo’ sho’…”

I don’t think this even needs a caption. Oh, what the hey: this photo is proof positive that if Tony Pierce and I were to team up, we would be unstoppable. How ’bout it, Tony?

The Redhead and me, taking in the after-dinner speeches.

Awwwwwwwww…

Elliot Noss Addresses the Office

Here’s Tucows’ CEO Elliot Noss addressing the employees about the upcoming acquisition of Boardtown, a Mississippi-based vendor specializing in billing, help desk, and other software for internet service providers:

We don’t have a large enough meeting room to accomodate the entire

company, so Elliot simply climbed Printer Station 3 and made a quick

presentation from there. Most of us are to either side of the frame or behind the camera. The row behind Elliot is where I sit.

The photo’s a bit blurry because I opted to turn off the flash so as

not to disrupt Elliot’s presentation, but I think it gets the idea

across that (a) we’re not in some hellish office complex and (b) we’re

not so stuffy that we can’t have the CEO hop up on a table and address

the gang.

I’ll write a little bit more about the acquisition and the business we’re in in a later entry.

It Happened to Me Toronto (a.k.a. Accordion City)

This is what a fool looks like

It didn’t take much schmooze-fu to get this fool to strike this pose

for the camera. More of his antics later and what happened last night

later…

He saved money by coming here on the short bus! “My sharp mind tells me that the ladies will dig this outfit.”

The Ladies Love a Bad Boy

The accordion is only part of the vast arsenal at my disposal for wooing the

ladies. Another one of my “Weapons of Mass Seduction” is my charming

roguish character. Women love bad boys, because by and large we are

alpha males.

Check out this photo of me breaking the law in a country under a civil rights clampdown. THUG 4 LIFE, YO!

(Ladies, y’all be gettin’ tingly yet?)
