Mountain Morons

Mountain Morons

Assholes, People, Rants
Two more idiots have been rescued after snowboarding out of bounds on Cypress Mountain. Their excuse was they "were just attracted to the snow". I wonder how attracted they are to dying in the cold? Perhaps it's time we left these morons to their own devices if they refuse to stay on the designated slopes and insist on venturing into dangerous territory. Perhaps after a handful of these twits got lost and died on the mountain the others might smarten up and stop wasting the resources of police and rescue personnel who risk their own lives to save their sorry asses. The two masked idiots flanking a red-jacketed rescuer in the above photo called emergency services at 3:40pm after snowboarding about a kilometre down a gully. "We were cold and…

Global Hypocrites

Economy, Environment, People, Politics, Rants
In our present culture, celebrities such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Al Gore, Robert Redford and other multi-millionaire jet-setters are quite vocal about how the rest of us should live our lives. They advise us to sell our gas-guzzlers and buy an electric or hybrid car, exchange our incandescent light bulbs with annoying 'green' low-energy light bulbs, recycle our garbage, compost our kitchen scraps and generally spend an inordinate amount of our precious time taking care of mother earth. Fair enough, but what about THEM? What do THEY personally do to make our earth better? By all reports, very little except gorging themselves on our finite energy resources and having a blast in the process. This became abundantly clear when Al Gore was exposed as a green douche-bag when it was revealed…

Another Asshole

Another Asshole

Assholes, Observations, People, Rants
The world is full of assholes but I seem to run across my fair share on a regular basis. The newest recipient of the AprilRoad.com 'Asshole of the Week' award is Simon Swanwick, a New Jersey resident who managed to waste almost 5 hours of my time and have the audacity to berate me for it. This guy is truly a treat. Here's the story in a nutshell: I offer users of an open-source bulk email software system a variety of services including installation, configuration and tutoring. This idiot contacted me requesting I install the software on his web server, configure it and then walk him through the process of creating and sending messages. I should have been suspicious when he mentioned that a previous consultant had bailed on him…

Avoid, Avoid, Avoid!

Avoid, Avoid, Avoid!

Food, Observations, Of Interest, Rants
Looking for the very worst restaurant in the history of restaurants on this planet and beyond? Do you crave to be ignored by your (possibly mildly retarded) waitress? Enjoy waiting for over an hour for your cold and sub-standard food? Feel satisfied when the owner of the worst restaurant on the planet actually has the balls to chastise you for complaining about the worst dining experience of your life. Well look no further than Charlie's restaurant right here in Port Moody. A restaurant to be avoided at all costs. In fact, don't even look at it as you drive by. It's for your own good. I won't bore you with details about the absolutely tragic dining experience we had, about the extremely bad service, extraordinarily bad food or the feeling…
