My wasps

Life in Port Moody
[singlepic id=25 w=320 h=240 float=left]So I tried to be a nice guy and warn people about a small wasp nest in the woods off April Road. Bad idea. I walked by the nest this morning and some a-hole(s) had thrown the warning sign into the brush and tossed wood and rocks at the nest completely destroying it and killing the inhabitants. Attacking a wasp nest is a dumb idea to say the least but it made me regret leaving the sign and giving away the location of their home. I assumed the residents and the wasps could peacefully coexist if we were aware of each others presence and could avoid an altercation. I forgot about the morons that think wasps have no right to build their small nest off the…

Suter Brook Parking Follies

Life in Port Moody
Here's the latest boneheaded parking job I've spotted at Suter Brook. [singlepic id=26 w=320 h=240 float=left]This person 'parked' their car in this spot for about 15 minutes which begs the question is "Why is there an inordinate amount of morons parking their cars at Suter Brook"? It looks like the driver only learned the first part of parallel parking and didn't actually take the time to follow through with a complete parking job. I'm hoping that anyone that actually leaves their car like this for more than 30 seconds is automatically damned to eternal hell (or at least given a ticket). ~ click the picture above to view full size, click again to close ~

Wreck Beach Bum

People
Today's paper contains the story of Anthony Wayne, a local beach bum that's complaining about being 'hassled' by the Greater Vancouver Regional District. The GVRD has filed a petition in B.C. Supreme Court seeking several orders against Wayne including claims that he sells pot and booze to beach-goers and harms the environment. This wanker is quoted as saying "I'm a dropout. I'm on social assistance and I'm an admitted [marijuana] smoker" which says nothing of his decade in prison for robbing three banks in three months. Mr. Wayne is insisting he have free access to Wreck Beach to sell pot and booze although he denies the allegations of his entrepreneurial endeavors. We're to believe this guy just wants to hit the beach and let it all hang out? Not likely.…

Michael Jackson – Superstar Pederast

Music, People
Today's death of Michael Jackson, though sad and, in a lot of ways tragic, leaves me with mixed feelings. Although I've been disgusted with Mr. Jackson's behaviour over the last decade or so, his talent and innovation were undeniable. I clearly remember his performance on the Motown 25 TV special in 1983 and how impressed I was even though I didn't listen to mainstream pop music or enjoy Motown TV specials. The last time I had seen him he was still lashed to the Jackson 5 and fast becoming a has-been so this was a remarkable ressurection and completely unexpected. But as the years passed and his star diminished with bizarre behaviour and various legal problems I was suprised that I felt anything at all when I heard of his…
