I found a transcript of the Daily Show sketch on gay marriage from a few days ago.

I paraphrased the punchline for the title of my post on Tuesday.

Uh oh.

I think I may have created another Fark cliche.

So, according to the newest brutally graphic torture movie, not only was Jesus the son of God, he also invented the dinette set.

No, I didn’t see it, but a friend at work did. He doesn’t recommend it.

Besides endorsing a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage in the U.S., George W. Bush is expected to introduce amendments to ban the following, in accordance to his steadfast defence of marriage:

• Shotgun weddings
• Drive-thru weddings
• Weddings in the state of Nevada
• “The Bachelor“
• “The Bachelorette“
• “My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiancé“
• “The Littlest Groom“
• “Married by America“
• Divorce
• Adultery

OK, after seeing Joey’s pics of Kickass Karaoke, I’ve decided I’m not going to miss this event again.

My rendition of “Just a Gigolo” may not be hardcore enough for this crowd, but dammit it’ll have to do.

There might be a shot of me on Canada Now tonight.

They doing a story about CBC.ca being the No. 1 news site in Canada last month. I might be in the wide shots of the news desk.

Actually, they moved me over to the news desk (I’m usually in another set of desks known as “The Pod”) because one of the regular writers was camera-shy.

Get out of the Crimson room. (Flash)

I did this puzzle yesterday after seeing it on a friend’s LJ. It may be slow now that it’s listed on Metafilter.

I stayed up last night to watch Conan, hoping that Triumph the Insult Comic Dog would make his long-overdue appearance in Canada. I wasn’t disappointed and I think Triumph’s trip to Quebec City is up there with his turn in the line-up for Star Wars: Episode II.

But of course, this being Canada, lots of folks have their shorts in a knot about a puppet dog insulting Quebecers.

Stephen Harper says it’s completely unacceptable.

Communications specialist John Parisella called it extremely offensive to Quebecers.

The guy who brought Conan to Toronto says “Lighten up!”

Don Cherry wishes he could get away with half the stuff Triumph said.

And CHUM has apologized and said it’ll edit out the Triumph sequence when it rebroadcasts the show on Star today.

Meanwhile, Star Wars fans love the video of Triumph insulting the line-up and download it off the net like crazy.

If French Canadians are less sure of themselves and more sensitive than the average Star Wars fan, there’s something seriously wrong.

[Update] It’s now the top story on CBC.ca. (Funny, they didn’t like the idea when I mentioned it at the meeting this morning.)

“I think it was vile and vicious. I think it amounts to hate-mongering,” said NDP MP Alexa McDonough.

Over the weekend, I played a game of Space: 1889 at a friend’s place. (Congrats to Jamie for dying in spectacular fashion in a non-combat campaign. For Science!)

Because the game is set in the British Empire at the turn of the century, we were using pre-decimalisation British currency, all shillings and pence.

What a crazy system that is, especially guineas. Imagine having a separate coin worth 11 dimes. It’s nuts.

The CBC is going to put Don Cherry on a seven-second delay during Coach’s Corner.

This is obviously to avoid another “wardrobe malfunction.”
