"I Think, Therefore I Ant."

Nominal Hockey League 
Here
come the NHL playoffs and that means old time hockey – which, in the NHL
is a compliment – I guess that’s because new time hockey sucks. So, how was its
first year after the strike? They took away the red line: that was good. We
found out Wayne Gretzky is married to a gambling addict: that was even better!
We now have shootouts, which proved to be way more exciting than the actual
games. As for the money issue, the players are still obscenely rich, but no
longer disgustingly rich. The goalie equipment is smaller, and in a completely
unrelated incident, goaltender Jose Theodore is now taking steroids. Apparently
for hair lose: Something guys like him with their full heads of hair and now
much smaller catching gloves must really worry about! There was a 2 week Olympic
break that taught us that Finland and Sweden are now officially the two best
hockey teams in the world. Al hail Scandinavia! And then it was back to more of
the same “NHL, who the hell cares?” The NHL: The Nominal Hockey Lump. It can
make a goon like Todd Bertuzzi a star and then tear him down and vilify him and
then send him to the Olympics to redeem himself and
then tear him down again when he fails miserably. Ah, the circle of life on
ice.

The
National Anthem
Oh,
Canada
You used to be so cool
True, you were a joke
In other countries eyes
But with your gay rights
And cool pot laws
You’d make those countries see
That there’s more to us
In Canada
Then beer and hockey
But Harper’s here
We’ve joined the war
Scraped daycare, Kyoto, and much more,
Oh, Canada
You used to be so cool

Proper Audience Response
Hey folks, I’d
like to present a brief dramatic demonstration on the proper way to react when
you see me on the street. Yes, the proper way to react when you see me on the
street. Let's watch…
A woman walks up to Avery.
Woman: Hi, I’ve seen your website. You’re not funny, you’re pathetic. And
your fly was undone all during your rants. You suck. Why don't you just give it
up and get a job doing something with computers? I wasted a valuable minute of
my life watching one of your rants and I want it back. Loser…
Okay, that was an
example of the wrong way to react to my comedy material. Reactions like that
will result in my bruised ego and a serious dislike for you as a human being.
Now, watch closely and learn as I show you an example of the proper way to
respond to me.
A woman walks up to
Avery
Woman: My God but you are
the funniest ant alive...and so sexy. Can I buy you lots of drinks and
repeatedly tell you how clever you are? I'd offer you tawdry sex if I thought I
was worthy of it. Say, can I introduce you to my friends, twenty of the most
attractive Scandinavian women you'd ever want to meet. My God you are so funny!
I've never laughed so hard in my life and my mother died today…
Much more appropriate! I think we'd
all feel better with reactions like that. So take note and remember that, okay?

Fun Facts with Avery Ant that don't go anywhere
On
Wednesday of this week, at two minutes and three seconds after 1:00 in the
morning, the time and date will be 01:02:03 04/05/06.
This won't happen again for a thousand years... Well, actually, it will happen
again tomorrow at three seconds after 1:00 pm in the afternoon... That is, if
you don't use military time. Oh, and
depending on how you set your calendar, it could happen again in May... Again, twice
if you don't use military time... I believe the other way (the May way) is the
European calendar. Which I prefer. After all it makes more sense to go
day, month, year. Don't you think? It's alphabetical and more logical... But
my point is that after that, then it won't happen for another thousand years... I think...
But don't quote me on that...

Conservative Party Doesn’t Waste
Time Ruining Pot Smokers Fun
Canadian marijuana users are now the enemy.
Police forces, taking their cue from the new federal Conservative
government, are again cracking down on the simple possession of marijuana.
Before the Liberals lost the January election, legislation was in the works to
make possession of small amounts of pot a minor offence, much like a parking
ticket. The law was to be known as “a sensible law.” It prompted police forces
to ease up on marijuana users – and guess what? The world didn’t end and pot
smokers didn’t eat babies when they got the munchies.
But things are different today, Steven “fatty foods and secrets” Harper is in
charge and pot busts have increased over the past months, with word that the
Conservative government won't resurrect Liberal efforts to decriminalize simple
possession of marijuana.
So, it looks like the only legal way to get through this reign of horror is to
do it drunk. Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em, but just make sure that it’s cigarettes
you’re smoking. You know them, they’re the number one killer of Canadians –
Thank God those are still nice and legal.
Some Peel criminal lawyer guy named Gary Batasar says that police seem to be
taking a get-tough approach to all pot crimes, including simple possession.
"This is a total bummer," Batasar said.
Justice Minister Vic Toews, rubbed his hands together in a sinister manner,
sucked back a large coffee and then announced that Prime Minister Stephen
Harper's Tories have no plans to loosen marijuana laws.
"It's a green
light for police to go ahead with stricter law enforcement, if they so want,"
Young said. "And they do! So I say let’s beat those filthy, gyrating, smelly,
dope smoking radical hippies about the heads with clubs! Bwehahahah! Death to
tokers! And I don’t mean by lung cancer…”

Making
fun of the Scottish
Let see, we can’t make fun of blacks, Jews, and Italians, so I don’t know who
walks into a bar and for what reason anymore. We certainly can’t go after the
prophet Mohammad, which also means no more prophet motive jokes. So all that
leaves is the Scottish. Luckily for us, they’re so drunk all the time you can
insult them and they respond by getting pissed off, then getting pissed, and
then waking up in a ditch next to a loch and wondering how the hell they got
there. Ah Scotland! Land of the deep fried, well, everything. The glorious soul
rattling noise of the bagpipes. An instrument that when played, sounds like a
gorilla sexually assaulting a moose. You don’t hear that very often! And with
good reason. Let’s not forget Edinburgh. The capital city of Scotland produces
more heroin junkies per capita then anywhere else in the world. Congratulations
Edinburgh! And of course, try as hard you might, who can forget Scottish
cuisine? It revolves around, fish, chips, mushy pees and then spewing them up
later after several pints. Cultural icons include Sean Connery, Groundskeeper
Willy and the Loch Ness Monster, hey, there’s a good group!
