Tea & Two Slices: On The Evils Of Starfish And Chocolate Eggs…

5340679256_c461d1f3b6_b

by Sean Orr | “Christy Clark wants to give families their own day. A higher minimum wage? Who knows”. I love that you can dismiss this family-first rhetoric with one example of pure hypocrisy. It makes my job a lot easier. And I don’t even earn minimum wage!

Larry likes Kevin. I wouldn’t go that far. He said he thinks he’s the best to lead the BC Liberals. He didn’t say that he liked the man. But then again, it’s hard to imagine anyone actually liking Kevin Falcon.

U.S. on guard against Kinder Surprises from Canada. Oh sure it’s just a chocolate egg, but then all of a sudden people are hauling citrus around like it was nothing. Alternatively, they could be hiding tiny Mexicans inside them.

Olympic Village houses disabled. No, the houses themselves aren’t disabled. Well…actually, they kind of are, but instead they are using ‘houses’ as a verb. “Apparently I was quite high up on the priority list and it’s quite obvious because I’m a young woman I’m totally their poster child”. I love how cynical she is! She calls Walter Hardwick Avenue at Olympic Village “Desolation Road”. And now, so do I.

Starfish, Compass or TPass? TransLink asks for votes on smart card name finalists. Compass is too clever; Starfish is hilarious and totally suits the sprawling, sucking, wet, bureaucracy of Translink; therefore I’m pretty sure they’ll end up calling it TPass. Vote Starfish!

Base Logic Part Four: The People. PS nice look guys.

  1. TPass just makes me immediately think of ‘toilet paper ass’, which is both a helpful reminder of the correct ingredients for proper cleansing after defecation and of how Translink will continue to view anyone who actually uses transit.

  2. a bidet is by jamie farr a superior practice than the ass wipe nation of East Van could achieve collectively.

    Klinger!!!
    “It makes my job a lot easier. And I don’t even earn minimum wage!” and mine too and I print money.

  3. Sean this is no dream, Sugar! Christy is that groovy chick who is the perfect match for your far-out personal style.She is your vision vancouver Main Street Squeezzzzzze! This is the Girl who will put a little more glide in your stride, and let you fall out to a happening in your tight leg sizzle pants with a few extra dips in your stiff hips. Know where I’m coming from? I bet you do!

  4. StARFISH StARFISH StARFISH StARFISH

    it reminds of a sphincter. Et tu? Sean….

  5. STARFISH!!!!! Its the name I submitted and god dammit, I want an Ipad!!

  6. I submitted ‘otter’. I guess ‘otter’ is out of the running. And that makes me sad.

  7. otter is a jamie farr more accurate name than sphincter for the LC. Sphincter is more suitable an acronym for an east van blogger
