Patrick Lee pointed me to this Nerve story (some of the ads on the page might not be safe for work): Sex Advice from Accordion Players!
My only complaint about the article is that they didn’t invite me to contribute!
Also happening this weekend in Accordion City:
From the Doors Open site:
The City of Toronto Culture Division is proud to
present Doors Open Toronto – one weekend, once a year – when over 100
buildings with architectural, historic or cultural significance open
their doors to the public for a city-wide celebration.
Step inside national historic sites, hidden
gems, modern landmarks, places of worship, banking halls, mansions,
museums, theatres, historic transportation hubs, architects’
offices and more. Many of these buildings are not normally
open to the public. No tickets or pre-registration required
– admission is free to all buildings. The official program
guide will be available in the Toronto Star on Thursday, May
19, 2005. Doors Open Toronto invites you to get to know the
city, whether you’ve lived in Toronto all your life or you’re
visiting for the first time. See Toronto like you’ve never
seen it before!
Last weekend, I got to meet one of my favourite webcomic artists, Mr.
M. Zole, artist, writer and consumer of pies of Death to the Extremist (go read it! go read the archives, too!).
I’ll write a little more about this later.
This weekend, I’m hoping to drop by this event…
…The Toronto Comic Arts Festival, to meet a couple more of my favourite artists:
- The Lord God King of Asian-American emo boy angst, Derek Kirk Kim
- R. Stevens of the the funny and pixelated Diesel Sweeties
The festival will be held in tents in Mirvish Village, and it
should be a good one, given the artists who will be attending and the
beautiful spring weather expected this weekend.
An anonymous commenter pointed me to this comic panel:
Athough it sounds like something the Head Counselor at the Micahel
Jackson Sleepover Camp does, a butt-stroke is actually a rifle-combat maneoeuvre in
which you strike someone with the butt of your rifle. Butt-strokes were apparently on the menu at Abu Ghraib.
If you are in what Douglas Adams liked to call the Shouting and Killing People industries, you can learn butt-stroke techniques here.
…was not this. “Icy Eight” or “Special K” on their own? Fine. But together? That’s just overkill, man.

Sgt. Cosby’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
While I’m posting oddball covers of pop tunes, I thought I’d throw in
this one for good measure. You may not know it, but Bill Cosby also
does jazz/funk performances. Some of them are quite good, and some of
them are…odd. Here’s an odd one: Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band! [2.1 MB, MP3]

The Worst Line in "Revenge of the Sith"…
…is this one:
…and now someone’s decided to replace “whatever” in Liam Lynch’s My United States of Whatever with it, creating a new single, My United States of NOOOOOOOOOOO! [2 MB, MP3]
It made me laugh.
