A Short Film on Urinal Etiquette

My bad public bathroom habit is to sing a version of this song as:

A place to stand
And a place go
A place we call
AAAA Urinial

According to this instructional film, Male Restroom Etiquette, this violation of social norms could lead to the destruction of civilization. I know better now

Not All Canadians are Canadiens Fans

I went to Firefox today to needless mess around with my extensions. Then I found the above suggestion. I stopped looking for amusing time wasters like Play Your Piano and went looking for useful extensions like Aviary which is how I screen captured the above image.

I was appalled (mildly) that Firefox assumed that I would support a Montreal team. Looking a little more deeply through the choices only a 7 NHL teams are listed as having "official" themes, including the zombie franchise Phoenix.

Still I'm not a fan of the Habs despite how many of their "ethnically cleansed" fans I meet in Toronto.

How to Win Reunions

1. You've had a personal tragedy.
2. Unlike everybody else you look better than you did 20 years ago.

The above is a screen capture from the new TV Show Pan Am, S01E02. For 1963 the price for a onion-less, chili-less, cheese-less burger costs somewhere between $10 to $40 in today's currency, according to Measuring Worth. It seems a little high.

The point of historical fiction is too insinuate a fictional character in to real events. Or in this case fictionalized conservation about getting into the drug business by two people who were involved in narcotics after the end of prohibition.

Dexter Inspired Music Video

Here is a music video inspired by the TV series Dexter. What I find interesting is that it depicts all of Dexter's "ritual". In this context "ritual" is a criminology term to describe way a common pattern that a murderer may show, (here for more details on ritual murder). I was looking for the teaser for the upcoming season and happened upon this and a lot less well crafted pieces of fan art. I like Dexter but some of the other fans have produced "art" that only functions as mental health diagnoses.

Bad taste can be a serious matter.
