Ghetto Hikes (or: Shit Inner City Kids Say in the Woods)

Photo of a tree leaking sap, captioned "Hey! Somebody gimme some toast, this tree leakin' Smuckers out the side."

The author of the Tumblr known as Ghetto Hikes simply describes it this way:

I’m 28. I have a full-time job leading urban kids on nature hikes. I simply write down shit they say.

Some of that shit:

  • “Them sheeps is funny lookin’, homie, wearin’ a snuggie full time.”
  • “Rocks, sticks, rivers…needa come out here with my fuckin’ art supplies, paint allll this beautiful shit.”
  • “Mr. Cody, this cool, but next time I get my cousin Dwayne to deliver us Papa Johns. Dwayne turn these woods into a pizza party forest.”
  • “Jamarcus mad cuz I change his facebook to say he like men and he can’t change it cuz this forest ain’t got no wifi.”

and my personal fave:

  • “Hey, Imma leave this cologne out for the animals. Help a brother get some pussy in the matin’ seasons.”

Ghetto Hikes, yo. Check it.

The Dark Knight: Unemployed

The purpose of a superhero, it’s been said, to become obsolete. So what happens when Batman has brought all of Gotham’s criminals to justice? Hilarity ensues, of course.

Note that there’s one swear word in the video just in case you’re not into that sort of thing.

Liquor store sign that reads: "Valentine's Day / Blah blah blah / Drink"Click the photo to see the original.

As the song goes:

I’d rather have a bottle in front of me
Than have to have a frontal lobotomy
I might be drunk, but at least I’m not insane!

Ruby Job Fair in Toronto Tonight!

Ruby Job Fair Poster

Don’t forget: the Ruby Job Fair takes place tonight at Unspace headquarters (342 Queen Street West; it’s the door just to the right of Lululemon)! If you’re looking for work that involves Ruby programming or if you’re an employer looking for Ruby developers, you’ll want to be at this event, which is more cocktail social than career fair. Yes, there will be a bar.

The event takes place from 6:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m.. DO NOT show up early! They’ll either be wrapping up the day’s work (remember, Unspace is a development shop) or prepping for the event. If you plan to show up fashionably late, please note that the employers are doing their three-minute “soapbox” spiels starting at 6:30.

There’s a small registration fee to help cover the costs of holding this event: it’s $5 for people looking for a job; $15 for employers looking for Ruby developers. You’ll get a lot of bang for your buck at this event. Click here to register for the event, and do it before the tickets run out!

If you’re looking for Ruby work at one of the most successful startups around, you might want to consider Shopify. I’ll be there tonight as Shopify’s representative – find me (I’ll be the guy with the accordion) and we’ll talk.

If you’re looking to find out more about Ruby Job Fair, check out the Ruby Job Fair site as well as my earlier article on the Fair.
