Together, at last!

Posted on May 8, 2012 | 0 comments

If you are in the Halifax area, or even considering the trip of a lifetime to beautiful Nova Scotia, Canada, then get your ass down to the Seaport Farmer’s Market – not least because for the first time ever, Wry & Ginger will be making weekly appearances there.

Yes, I’m taking the show on the road every Saturday until they toss me out.  hsfm 04 Together, at last!

 

So come on down and browse to your heart’s content. While you’re there you can stuff your face with sausages, pasties, pastries, apple cider, cupcakes, waffles….ohh  my! I think it’s time a smorgasbord celebration video!

“Alarmist!” you said.

“Cuckoo!” you mocked.

Well Daniel Wilson,  PhD  (Robotics) has my back.

Just hit play.

What. The. Actual. Fuck?

I was by turns amused, concerned, possibly offended, and then scared.

Without translation, the mind boggles. And let’s be honest, we all think that when the camera is off, that guy is terrifying. He rolls into town in an massive limo (which could, in fact, be a mid-sized town car – he’s the size of a wood sprite) and immediately begins blowing through the local supply of hookers and crystal meth.

The soundtrack to my nightmares is now accompanied by yodelling.

Reason # 6 Why I Do Not Have Chilrdren

Posted on May 3, 2012 | 0 comments

I not only giggled hysterically at this,but  I would take the baby back dressed in a variety of outfits (a small zebra, a leg of lamb, or what have you) to gauge their effect on the lioness’ reaction.

In fairness to the lioness, the zoo staff really ought to hurl a small goat dressed in a little hoodie into the enclosure.

Find it for freeeee on Kijijiiii.

Say it with a singsong voice!

I spend more time than is healthy rooting about for things on Kijiji (for foreign readers, it’s Craigslist for Canadians, especially Maritimers), both paid and free. I saw someone on twitter mention that they cruised the free stuff on Craigslist and the realization that I am not alone has prompted me to share some of the great finds. Today’s pickings include the following deals:

 

FREE WOOD. (Ohhh err missus! )

I have about seven trees in my back yard that I want taken down; if you would take them down, you can take the wood with you as a barter.  A mix of hardwood and softwood, mostly hardwood.

Well that seems like a decent barter. I’ll come to your place with my truck, chainsaw, ladders and specialized arborist equipment. I will then spend hours labouring to cut down your trees and, in the fine bartering style of our forefathers, you’ll then let me hump all that wood to my truck, load it up, and take it away for you, saving you the cost of a tree-removal firm. A great reminder of how our forefathers were always fucking each other over. On consideration, I’d rather have the free wood you find at the Y.

 

FREE BARN/PLAYHOUSE

I have a barn/playhouse that I’m looking for have removed from my parents home. Free…..just come and get it and bring man power. Have someone who will assist in loading. Please note: the floor will need replacing (cheap easy fix). With a little bit of work this could be a great barn/playhouse again. Size is 6 by 8. Serious inquiries only, please. Thanks!

barn Find it for freeeee on Kijijiiii.

Okaaaaay. A…playhouse. With a false busted floor. At your parents house…where you still live? Size is 6×8. Is that stacked up or lying side by side? And will you be removing the remaining shag rug, disney  paraphernalia and mirrors before I take this away? Jiminy Crickets, I may take a trip down there, if only to see who comes to pick up this…play….house.

Well.

I think I have sufficiently creeped myself out for today.

Join me next time for Find It Freeee On Kijijiiiii!
