ANDY DICK GOT KICKED OUT OF YUK YUK's!!! HAHAHAHAHA
Here's an excerpt from the article:
Talk about a guy living up to his name. In this case, his last name. Andy Dick, star of Comedy Network's The Assistant and the sitcoms Less Than Perfect and NewsRadio, has another credit to boast about: He was fired from his weekend gig at Yuk Yuk's comedy club.
He was completely unprofessional," said Yuk Yuk's marketing manager Sean Kirk. "He had no prepared material."
Kirk said Dick's first of two Friday shows was bad, but that the club gave him the benefit of the doubt and let him go back on stage for the second show of the night.
The second time around was more of the same, according to audience members. Dick reportedly asked people to come up on stage so he could make out with them - women or men, it didn't matter - and exposed himself on a couple of occasions as the punchline to a joke.

Paras, that Dell Living thing is some contest I entered to win $10,000 worth of electronics. I get 100 extra ballots if I send a message about the contest to 10 different people! Of COURSE I want 100 ballots and not 1! Sorry man. haha

Sweet Billboard Top 10 Ringtones!!
Someone's gotta get this to my brother so his new phone can have even more annoying music for the alarm that he sets on snooze while he goes into the bathroom long enough that the alarm goes off again twice while he's in there. (By the way, I must say that I thought generic computer generated music was awesome before, but to have it blasted out of someone's room through MIDI is even better!!)

I'm only going to comment on one thing and try my best to leave the rest the hell alone. We don't have a Dr. King or a Henry David Thoreau because we don't have the populist movement to back them up. We have som hellishly talented and scrappy individuals who could be Dr. Kings or Thoreaus but without the people support behind them (and by that, I mean GIGANTIC amounts of people), nothing ever gets going enough to go beyond organizations like the Suzuki Foundation or CPAWS. I suppose they may also think it's entirely surprising/disappointing that we don't have an ACLU or an NAACP, but I think that again comes down to the population and perhaps even just the way our society is so different (in quiet, difficult to notice ways) from the states.

Congratulations, Beck. You're officially in the water busine...
I notice that 'buying donuts' and 'being Jeremy's official lab monkey' aren't on the list of duties. Sounds pretty sweet.
So, it's not often I agree with something printed in the editorial section of the National Post (and, admittedly, it may be a little too often that I comment on stuff like this), but one piece today was particularly good. They snatched it from TartCider.com, and it comments on (yes, you may groan) the Sponsorship Scandal/Gomery Inquiry/Publication Ban, but takes a look at the bloggers claiming victory from this. Here's a link. Essentially, he's looking at the over-the-top characterization of this event. For example, comments from blogs about the leak:
"…this is Canada's "Watergate", writ large — but in this case the blogosphere is playing the role of both "Deep Throat" and the Washington Post, and in the case of Canadian sites — doing so with the threat of legal action over our heads."I'm not sure that these sort of chest-thumping comments need someone to shoot them down; they do a pretty good job of exposing their own bluster (I mean, how do you not gag on the delusion that somehow, by printing something mentioned at an inquiry, you're in the same aura as the people who found a source that ultimately brought down a presidency; at least, not gag long enough to print the comment?). Nevertheless, the gesture is well-taken.
"I finally and completely understand why Canada has not produced a Dr. King or a Henry David Thoreau. Every blogger up here has only one decision to make: will you fight for liberty? ... The threat to charge those of us who published certain links, such as the second post in a series about Jean Brault's testimony before the Gomery Inquiry - The Martin Connection, must be met with only one response: Bring. It. On. I mean it. Let's drop the gloves once and for all and get some earnest debate up here about liberty and inherent human rights."
