"Less chanty! More stretchy!"

Deenster’s not too keen on the spritual aspects of her yoga class, and somehow I am reminded of the cautionary tale of Ed Gruberman at Tae Kwon Leep class [2.8 MB MP3].

Deenster, I suggest BodyFlow (which is done at GoodLife gyms across Accordion City) or Pilates. All the stretching and strengthening, none of the faux-Hindu / faux-Buddhism.

Or, if you really want to work out hard (which doctors are recommending), join me at BodyPump or BodyCombat!

Discuss!

I’m busy racing to get the Blogware

manual done in time for the release, so my time for personal blogging

is a little short. However, I’d like to point you to a couple of

discussions.

The Serious

The Shotgun is the blog for The Western Standard, “Independent Voice of the New West”, a new Canadian magazine for conservatives. In response to a post called “the Tragedy of Torontonian compassion” (which rightfully rips Accordion City’s men’s shelter Seaton House for providing free wine and cigarettes to the men they serve, sometimes as an incentive to get off the street), Kathy “Relapsed Catholic” Shaidle suggests bringing back the vagrancy laws, to which Tim from Right On! replies:

Further to bring back the vagrancy laws, let’s dump the charter. It’s killing our legal system.

(By “charter”, he means the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.)

To which I asked: “What would you put in place of the Charter?”

Bob “Let It Bleed” Tarantino discusses my question on The Shotgun (he also covers it on his blog) and I’m hoping to get my two cents in later today. Go give it a look and see if you can contribute.

And the Not-So-Serious (or: “Fur and Loathing in LiveJournal“)

The fact that it’s a debate on LiveJournal should be a warning in itself, but it’s like a gruesome car accident: you want to look away, but you can’t.

Here’s the debate topic, written by one Mr. High Road:

…a member of this community identified them selves as “a shapeshifter

Otherkin” it also states that it is “human. But no, none of my forms

are human or humanoid.” Now we have heard this kinda of wacky bull shit

before. I wonder though if it really believes it’s somehow more than

human? I didn’t take much Psychology in college, but from what I do

remember that state of disassociation with humanity is sociopathic in

nature, and potentially dangerous. This may seem silly, but remember we

see them as moronic twits is retarded costumes, but they see them

selves as those creatures they dress up as

For Debate:

Should we fear the furries and otherkin? As they become more demented

and farther away from true reality what is to stop them from truly

acting like the animals they identify as? Should I be fearful for my

children’s safety if a furrie is near?

My Stance: I feel

that we need to be proactive on this issue. These freaks are a danger

to our children, and I say that we do something now before they start

trying to molest and eat our babies. At least the FBI profiles those

sick childmolesters Child Haters like those that hang out in [info]childfree,

but I doubt that furries are even in the range of their radar. These

people are sick demented perverts, and should be handled as such.

That’s right, it’s a debate about furries and otherkin,

and it goes on and on and on, with trolls putting out the flamebait and

LiveJournalers “rising” to the challenge with less debating skill than

the omelette I had for breakfast.

Still, fascinating stuff. Much better than reality TV!

Is This Autoeroticism? (or: German Fetish Videos Are Weird, Man)

Pump that pedal, baby! Oooooooh yeah.

Carstuckgirls.com is a German site where you can ogle still photos and purchase videos of young women whose cars are stuck in the mud, snow or sand. The photos and videos are quite safe for work; the models in the videos are fully clothed, although wearing tight jeans or short skirts. That’s all there is to these photos and videos — just comely lasses whose vehicles are stuck, and their attempts to get out.

In these videos, the “money shots” are close-ups of the woman’s foot pumping the accelerator in an attempt to free the car. Some videos also come with “stuck-stories” — first-person narratives supposedly written by the “carstuckgirl” describing how her car got stuck and how she extricated herself. For those of you who have a reputation to protect, you can request for the video to be shipped to you in a plain brown envelope.

This is about as saucy as these videos get.

Looking at the pictures on the site, I feel like those people who stare at stereograms for hours and fail to find the hidden image. Perhaps I’m just an old “stick in the mud”.

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.
