Tea & Two Slices: On Bike Lanes, The RCMP And Indie Nightlife…

IMG_2472

by Sean Orr | The RCMP has taken another step in enhancing their image by releasing this video of a B.C. man tied to chair in jail cell. They really are going for the You Tube generation…

Fight over more separated bike lanes heats up. “Others say the number of cyclists just doesn’t warrant taking more space from vehicles”. Yeah, well vehicles stole the roads from horses in the first place and you don’t see them crying, neigh.

Beyond Robson has the inside scoop on secret parties! And this is it: apparently they are happening. Thanks BR, really, but if I want embarrassing anecdotes about “indie nightlife” I’ll go to Vancity Buzz.

Meanwhile, noise complaints have forced Little Mountain to have a fundraiser. Oh, and Olio is looking for volunteers

    Get a life! More endless, whining drivel passed off as “clever” commentary. One bun have more sesame seeds than the other? Did you have to ask for extra ketchup with your fries? Counter clerk see you for the self-possessed dick you really are? You poor boy.

    Why not devote half that energy and attention to something that someone actually cares about and/or makes a difference to someone else’s life?

  2. The joke is obviously over, or perhaps under, your head. Think Clerks meets The Gawker; a self aware parody on hyper-consumer culture and the systems of rhetoric it employs.

  3. Neither, actually. I get it Sean, it’s just that the schtick has become tiresome. If everybody is parroting the same “self-aware parody on hyper-consumer culture and the systems of rhetoric it employs”, it’s entirely and absolutely irrelevant. Time to move on.
