So Canadian Tire doesn't sell connector links for bicycle chains.
For those that are going "Oh shit, he's talking like a mechanic again," a connector link is the thingamadoodad that holds the chain together on the bike. It's also known as the thing that you won't find at Canadian Tire after you've walked all the way from Dundas to one block past the reference library, which is one block past the corner of Bloor & Yonge. Which is a long bloody way from Dundas Street.
On my empty-handed way back, I stopped in at a discount book store and to my amazement, the hardcovers of
State of Fear were on sale for six bucks. Guess what y'all are getting for Christmas this year!!
By the way, if you haven't read this book you owe it to the earth to read it before seeing Al Gore's film. Oh, yeah, and remember that Al Gore lost an election to a
monkey. A big fat smelly monkey (
Google can back me up on this).
Speaking of big, fat, smelly monkeys, I just finished watching Farenheit 9/11. I knew it was going to be good, because everyone I know said it sucked. And truth be told, yes, it was pretty bad. There was no buildup, no real storyline to follow, just a bunch of random ranting mixed with a couple of Mike's usual stunts. That being said, I found myself somewhat upset at the end of it. I mean, yeah, it was a pretty one-sided debate, but it's hard to debate in favour of someone who starts a war, kills millions of people (including several thousand of his own young men & women), and all for the sake of his business buddies.
There's one glaring thing I've noticed in this film, which few people seem to pick up on. George W. Bush is really insecure. Did you see when he shot at (and missed) the duck, and he asked someone to say "Nice Shot"? What about that scene on the tee box of a golf course, when he said how he was going to kick everyone's ass in the middle east. He immediately followed it up with "Now watch me take this shot." This dude seriously lacks the confidence needed to run what we still believe to be the #1 superpower in the world. He's worse than a bulemic in a bikini shop (duck! hate replies!)
Now I don't like jumping on the
"I hate Bush" bandwagon.
Any washed-up has been singer has enough of that on their comeback album. Well, except
Neil Young. His new album rawks. However, it just seems odd that no one else has pointed this out before and I'd really like to know why.
Maybe I'll just play
hungry hungry hippos and wait for the Americans to invade us and take all our water.
