Oh Lou Dobbs, you are such a clown
J.C.Q.: I can't believe that Lou Dobbs just said he was worried about the "Illegal aliens that were unlawfully coming into America." How stupid is that?
B.A.Q.: Umm... it's not really stupid.
J.C.Q.: Well apparently you're not only incapable of picking up on redundancies, but also on rhetorical questions.
B.A.Q.: Well, apparently you don't realize I did pick up on the redundancy but I didn't think it was that ha-ha-ha-ha--iii--larious.
J.C.Q.: Quiet, B.A.Q.! Aren't you supposed to be reading the fish their bedtime story instead of watching Lou Dobbs anyway?
And... the rest of the conversation wasn't funny... sorry, I don't know where I was going with this. It will likely get skunk trophy for the 2007 posts.
But speaking of posts that could be tagged as "foreigners invading" and "crazy ass paranoid Americans," do what I did today if you have nothing better to do:
Type in "Invade Canada" in Google. You will get a veritable panoply of deliciously entertaining websites claiming how the USA actually owns Canada because of past wars or that it should invade canada immediately. Many sites have detailed maps to support their clever proposals and hypotheses. I'm not linking to them from here -- I don't need them harassing me on my blog. But go do it. It will, at the very least, mildly entertain you for a good ten minutes.

Oh Murray Wood, You are Such a Clown
JCQ: [Sarcastically] I noticed yesterday that Murray Wood now has signs at busstops claiming that he puts the "Ask" back in "Saskatchewan."
BAQ: It's not that bad of a slogan.
Michael: I tend to agree with J.C.Q. It is pretty stupid, but funny at the same time.
BAQ: Why?
JCQ: Well, for starters, "Ask" doesn't even come out as a word in Saskatchewan because it is accentuated "Sa-ska-tche-wan." This is stupid on so many levels, B.A.Q. How can't you see this?
Michael: Maybe you should write to him to tell him how you feel.
JCQ: Brilliant, Michael. Let's you and I both write to him together and suggest better slogans he could use. Like I put the "chew," as in chew people out, in Saskatchewan.
BAQ: Oh, come on. That's ten times worse.
JCQ: Fine. How about I put the "sassssss" in Sasssssskatchewan.
Michael: He's Murray Wood, J.C.Q. He isn't exactly sassy.
JCQ: Fine. How about I put the "che" in Saskatchewan?
Michael: What?
JCQ: "Che" is a Spanish interjection which in English is rougly equivalent to "Wow!" or "Hey!" or "Eh!" or sometimes even "Dude!" Ernesto Guevara earned his nickname due to his frequent use of this expression.
BAQ: JCQ, now you are just sitting at your computer making up the rest of this conversation based on information you are getting from Wikipedia. You didn't even mention the "Che" part during the actual conversation that took place last week.
JCQ: Quiet, BAQ! Shouldn't you be reading to the fishies or something?
BAQ: It's not that bad of a slogan.
Michael: I tend to agree with J.C.Q. It is pretty stupid, but funny at the same time.

The late Christmas letter, part 3
A check-in with our friends that read this blog:
- My bro and V. got engaged.
- Bran and The Jurist got engaged. JCQ is a bridesmaid.
- J. and The Bee Man moved to Regina. Little does The Bee Man know the trouble that J. and JCQ get into when together.
- “The Girls” (S. N. H. & M.) nearly got us kicked out of La Bodega. Nearly. Next time they probably will.
- M.C. Thome’s cat ate a carnation and proceeded to throw up on the rug.
- Hellian hosted the 4th Annual Pumpkin Carve
- T-ron threw a McFlurry at some poor kids. Okay, at their car windshield. And they were illegally parked and wouldn’t listen to her telling them to move.
- Hgh has not yet been kicked out of the school where she is doing her fourth-year internship. Just kidding, she is going to be an awesomes teacher
- Floyd lived with BAQ for three months, resulting in him and BAQ ganging up on JCQ at every turn. JCQ successfully defended her thesis against them that the TSE is resource-based and thus fluctuates with the prices of raw materials more than anything else. I schooled them.
- Jay was repairing his hard liquor shelf when a bottle of a bottle of vodka fell on his head and knocked him unconscious. He came to reeking of alcohol. S. says this definitely isn’t the first time it’s happened, but never before in this way.
- Levendis was visited by the Max 5 Party Bus
- If your name is not on this list, it is not that you aren’t our friend, but rather that you don’t check in with this blog regularly. Do you and I don’t actually know? Give me heck by e-mail.

Tweaking tweaking tweaking
I think I've finally found a template that I am satisfied with for my blog. Tell me what you think. What type of modifications would you like to see? What isn't user-friendly? I think this template works a lot better when you are viewing it with Firefox and with a small screen than the previous template ever did. I tried to modify the old template quite a bit to get around this problem, but I wasn't very successful. The old and new template still both look better with Netscape. Sigh. The evil Microsoft empire.
The late Christmas letter, part 2
This year continued the trend of BAQ’s computer slowing down. Much to our chagrin, the memory cannot be replaced. Forecasts are for this problem to continue into the next year. We will keep you posted because I am sure you care.
The light bulb burnt out above the back door but we cannot replace it due to lack of ladder.
JCQ learned that BAQ has a serious snail infestation problem. In. His. Aquarium. The snails are very sexual and are reproducing faster than rabbits and taking over. This is not the only tank tragedy that occurred this year. There was an algae bloom in May, and the algae eater’s waistline bloomed along with it. He now needs a quintuple bypass. Minnow #2 had an almost fatal bout with fungus infestation. He is feeling much better as of late and has been reintroduced into the main tank. Panda Corey #3 sadly passed away this year. We hope he rests in peace just like the song Mambo #9. But with death comes new life, and, fortunately, Petland has a 30-day return policy and he was exchanged for Panda Corey #4. JCQ also got four cherry barbs for her birthday. They are super cute and she named them Maraschino, Cream Soda, Cherry Pop, and Whitey.
Things JCQ has dropped this year:
- Learning how to walk at the Running Room with BAQ. Just couldn’t get the thing down.
- Freaky Advanced Art Class with weird teacher
- Guitar lessons
- Competitive bridge lessons with BAQ.
- Weight training class
- Helping with our symphony’s book sale stuff.
- Briarpatch subscription
- Membership to our Community Radio
- Max 5 bars and a related Jazzercise class. Quitting Max 5 bars cleared up the Jazzercise.
- Doing the dishes
- The M.C. Thome Fan Club after JCQ decided he was a sham
Throughout the year BAQ has lost many a nail clipper. He does not know where they have gone, but he thinks JCQ is hoarding them all.

About me
- I'm snappysnakes
- From Canada
-
I am a Francophone that is a strong supporter of
General T. Foolerys mission. I use this blog
to post about rien du tout or je-ne-sais-quoi
ici et là. Theres nothing derisive or divisive here.
No no, that takes too much effort. I try to post
hebdomadarily. It rarely works given my slackedness.
Unfortunately, my sidekick B.A.Q., an Anglophone, sometimes adds lackadaisical posts to this site, including tales of two nations warring within the bosom of one house. I apologize for this not-so-hilarious inconvenience. It does not happen frequently.
