UBC student apologizes for role in Vancouver riot,... →
Ahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaa. A couple of choice pull quotes:
At the time, being a part of the riot was simply to fulfill the adrenaline rush I was looking and hoping for – an adrenaline rush that I previously got from post-winning games: hugging randoms, dancing on the streets, honking car horns non-stop, and high-fiving just about everybody.
Totally, gurl. I feel you....

Did Surrey use the hockey game as an excuse to... →
pinder:
Answer: not necessarily. Also read today 2 “anarchists” were actually scholarship kids.
Follow me on twitter (@pinder) where I’ve been defending Surrey, ranting about bridge and tunnel snobbery, Instagram, and people outing rioters by calling them “faggots”.
I think as we get a bit of distance on all of this (you know, more than 48 hours) and we all get a chance to actually have a...

My office is on West Georgia, about 2 blocks from the CBC building. Things are getting nuts. Highlights include, but are no limited to:
Cheering which can be heard 12 floors about ground every 30 seconds
Bars lined up out the door since 2pm
A sea of blue all travelling north then east down Georgia street
Olympic-style cowbell ringing
Liquor stores closing at 4pm (well, this isn’t a...

The new film from Eric Fensler (of Fensler Films) might be his master work.
Boy oh boy is this great. Please watch, everyone.
Reblogging for later.
Things my white trash neighbour is currently...
How he’s been divorced 5 (five!) times
How he’s run his own business since 1984
How all of his children own homes (later clarified “well, they don’t own-own them. they got mortgages”)
The weird thing is that I’m not sure anyone is actually in the yard with him.
WatchSo I made this video tonight as a means of joking with friends who I hung out with this past weekend. It was supposed to be funny, but I think it might make me look depressed or possibility suicidal.
Mom, if you’re reading this I’m doing great. Just trying to make a point about the futility of saving leftover scotch.
Sidebar: when I uploaded this video to YouTube it said that it...
