Tea & Two Slices: Cooler Heads, Terror Babies and The Slob Life

August-2010-507

by Sean Orr | What climate debate needs is cooler heads. Yeah, because this isn’t quite the worst year for wild fires. In Jon Ferry’s little brain, climate change is not happening. I mean, does this fucking idiot also think that we aren’t living in an earthquake zone because a big one hasn’t happened in a while and because only earthquake scientists are the ones who ever bring it up? What about erosion? Maybe that’s all just a big hoax laid on us lay folks by scheming erosion scientists. Hell, maybe cancer is made up too, Jon. Maybe we need some “cooler heads” to weed through all the propaganda of oncologists. And then there’s cycling? Who’d want to get fit and have the wind rustle through their hair? I’d rather drive my car through a thick haze to a Fraser Valley drive-thru because, hey, we can’t do anything about climate change anyways. And don’t believe what you hear about urban sprawl. That’s just a rumour started by Urbansprawlogists.

Let’s all just calm down for a moment and…TERROR BABIES!! As mental as Jon Ferry is, I’m still super glad I don’t live in America.

Meanwhile in Britain, they are Warming up the nation’s welcome. Here are a few handy tips from the Visit Britain website:

– A smiling Japanese person is not necessarily happy.
– Be careful how you pour wine for an Argentinian.
– Remember Arabs are not used to being told what to do.
– Also, don’t mention the war. I did, but I think I got away with it.

Walking Tours with the Fighting Flaneur. Hey, that’s me!

Vancouver est Awesome.

Slob Life Party! There will be cereal. I personally promise you that.
