It's like sweaters on Dogs

Dear Couples,
On this Halloween please no couple costumes. They suck. Especially the following:

- Hansel & Gretel
- Any super team. (Batman/Batwoman, Superman/Lois Lane, Spiderman/Mary Jane, etc)
- King & Queen
- Bacon & Eggs (I already killed that one)
- Pimp & Hooker
- or any other super sappy stuff

If you feel the need to have matching costumes please use the following:

- Biggie Smalls and Faith Evans
- The Titantic and an Iceberg
- Actually don't, please don't, I really can't stand it at all.

That is all, carry on.

Somethings are worth the wait

There is nothing more in this world I hate more than waiting. Nothing. So when the Kid Koala show didn't start untill 10:30, (It was supposed to start @ 9:00) needless to say I was a little pissed. That being said, Oh My Gawd was it sweet.

I'm to excited to sleep

Halloween is my favourite non-holiday ever. What's not to like? Girls dress a little sexier, you get to dress up, and candy, candy, CANDY. For the past 2 years I have gone as food. First the waffle, then the pickle, and this year... It's gonna be a suprise, you'll have to wait and see.

I just wanted to remind everyone that when you are out partying on saturday night to not drink and drive so you can hand out candy on tuesday night.

Sippin on some sizurp

I'm sick. Not in a sick and twisted kind of way, but really sick. I had the pleasure of waking up at 4 am not being able to breathe, my head pounding, and feeling like I was trampled by a herd of white trash at a Wal-Mart opening. Where did this come from? I was feeling fine last week and just got over the sniffles a week ago. The best part about all this is that I start my new job tonight and I'm going to be all hopped up on cough medicine. And to top it all of I am having problems with my cell phone company. Somehow my phone bill is triple what it normally is and they can't tell me how.

5 Best things about being sick

5. Being in a constatnt daze from all the pills, cough syrup, and Neo-Citron.
4. Gatorade, juice, water, tea, and soup.
3. Sleep just seems so much better.
2. Sometimes people are nice and take care of you.
1. How sexy I think my voice sounds when it sounds more like Buckwheat.

Weekends on the fast track

"Let's just go for power hour." Famous last words uttered from my mouth. Great idea, go to a bar that has $1.75 drinks for an hour, only sells you 2 at a time, and has the worst cover band ever. Yes, we went to the Rusty Cage. The best part about it is that's only like a $5.00 cab ride from my house. Forty dollars later it's off to the Drum. (Again) Kinda sick of that place except for the fact that they know my drink and never I.D. me.

Where do I end up on Sat night? Oh, the Drum again. Well after hearing the exact same music 2 nights in a row it's off to Amsterdam Rhino. If you have never been on a Saturday night then something is wrong with you. Something was wrong with me untill now. I think I knew the word to every song that night. (Can't really remember as there were $6.50 doubles) After that it all blends together.

PS. If you need any leaves for those sweet halloween leaf bags let me know. We raked up over 15 bags yesterday.

In N Out

I was going to write about how much I love samples, but I am super busy at work, here's us getting wrecked in Seattle.

-Pickle

I give up

Today I realized that Albertan's as a whole not only have the worst taste in music, but fashion aswell. Is it really that hard? Just put a little effort into it. So to the guy that just came in to the store wearing adult heely's, a visor beenie, and sweatpants with a sassy saying on the back, this one's for you.

Things you should never ever ever wear once you start picking out your own clothes.

- Puffy skate shoes. You know the ones that small town drug dealers wear? Yes, those ones. Put those back in your shoe closet or the trash. It's not 2000 anymore.
- Visors. Again, small town drug dealer. Is it that hot out that you can't wear a real freekin hat?
- Hemp, puka shells, or wood necklaces. We get it your'e one with nature.
- Baby sitter shoes. The ones that weigh like 20 pounds and add 8 inches have to go. They make you look like an idiot who can't walk in heels.
-Pants with anything bigger than an 18" leg opening. Guys this one is especially for you. Raves are gone so should those pants be.
- Heelys. Neverever ever ever wear these. Ever!

Now, I'm not claiming that I am the best dressed man ever. Infact, I have not changed my style since grade 8. (I just grew into the clothes that were way to big for me) Just please get rid of the clothes you wore in highschool and welcome to 2006.

The worst part about vacationing is that I need one when I get back

I made it across the border no problem. Seattle was a blast, we went skateboarding, drank some beer, ate some great food, and had a hole lot of hugs and laughter.

Here are the top 10 best and worst things about the trip:

BEST

10. Mexican Food. I know Seattle is about as far away as you can get from Mexico, but they still have way more authentic food than Taco Time.
09. The Pilsner Urquell keg in the Capita office. We had only been in town for less than 2 hrs when they were already pouring beers down my throat.
08. My New shoes. I have a little love affair for shoes and was finally to be able to afford the ones I wanted. Awesomeness.
07. The fact that a 12 pack of beer costs $5.99. What else could you ask for, except that it goes down like water and I never really got "that" drunk.
06. Seeing the same bum in the same place 2 days in a row. It's like he never left.
05. Blue's House. I love the fact that Seattle is like Nelson, but on the water. They have these super sweet old houses that hippies have owned for yrs and accumulated tons of junk in their yard and painted their fences in rainbows.
04. Southern BBQ. The first night Mexican chocolate made these ribs. Oh my god seriously you have not lived until you've eaten ribs where the meat falls off the bone before you pick up the rib. Seriously, thank you.
03. Early Man. I can't say how amazing these guys are.
02. The premiere night and all of the stuff that went along with it. Because my mom reads this I will give you the radio friendly version. Dustin and plan A and B and the AV club. Me and an older lady on the dance floor. Countless boobs on the walk back to the van.
01. Bonus. The Swede with the snoose.

Worst
10 through 5 Everything to do with traveling. The 2 hrs of sleep, the 4 hr stop over, that I had to wait 3 hrs at the airport for Tj, the Seattle airport as a whole.
4. My broken camera. The first night my camera got broken, I have no idea how, but it did. Big ups to Best Buy for buying my story.
3. American cigarettes. The filters are like 2 inches long and they taste like shit.
2. The fact that breakfasts in the U.S. cost more than they do in Canada. I mean C'mon it's fucking eggs, bacon, toast, and hashbrowns. It shouldn't be more than the price of beer.
1. Coming Back.

Pics coming once I figure out how to work my new camera.

Follow the Yellow Brick Road

That's right I'm going to the Emerald City, (or as some people call it Seattle) for three days of boozing, shmoozing, hi fives, hugs and hand shakes. I don't drink coffee so this isn't my meca, but lately I have been missing the salty air so it will be a little pick up before the winter comes. So to tide you over untill I get back here is an all Seattle mix for you to take with your morning late.

Flanel and Butts

1. Jump on it - Sir Mix A Lot. When I used to work at White Spot we had a Christmas party and the older Indian women danced up a storm to this song.
2. Crazy on You - Heart. I used to hate this song, but after time it grew on me like chest hair.
3. Never Ending Math Equation - Modest Mouse
4. I Must Have Been High - The Supersuckers
5. Parasites - Ugly Casanova
6. Sliver - Nirvana. Did you really think that a track list of Seattle songs could be done without Nirvana?
7. Freek Mommy - Mudhoney and Sir Mix A Lot. This is way before the raprock came out and it was actually pretty sweet.
8. No Clue- No Clue. Fastest Rapper Ever
9. Killing Floor - Jimi Hendrix
10. Waiting for Someboady - Paul Westerberg

Time to get the liver all prepped up

The scrilla was killa as we started off our Saturday night watching the Flames win their only game this season.

The celebration carried it's way to this place

Some how we ended up in this dingy basement drinking $4.00 drinks and dancing to early 90's techno and rap. It was pretty good.

They also had Red Stripe.

Excuse me Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde needs to make an appearance.

The best thing about thanksgiving, Airplane shooters. "Take my picture, take my picture"
It's always wierd to see a Banff local out of his natural habitat.

-Pickle

Touche mon frere

Sandbox premier in Banff. Kinda went off, I'm a little tired.

"Dude did you see that?" "Sick Bra!!"

Accountant hair was in full effect

As well as dancing

Kevin, When did you get here?

Dustin had his hair chemically straightened.

And he holds the pull up bar record.

I flew in from Australia for this?

The clouds are the best part of being high.

There was one of those punching machines that seriously got about $80.00 from us.

All in all it was a good night, the sucky part was dricing back this morning.

Weekend Update

We Had a Vice party on Sat and things were pretty good. Except they cheaped out on free beer and we ran out in an hour. ANd, they still owe me 10 bucks for the liquor liscence.

There was plastic on the walls

Token Gangsta pose by the "Black Guy"

Sometimes I wish I was 18 again

There's always "that guy" and for once it wasn't me

Afterward we ended up at a house wreecker and I was asked to leave for no reason.

-Pickle

Better than twister that's for damn sure

We're going to play a game. It's called "let's see if Pickle can cross the border?" Today I combined my love of free things and love of cheap beer and got a plane ticket to Seattle. It's been a while since I have been to the states and I'm a little worried that I might not make it across. I have not exactly been what you call a "model citizen" these past few years. So, we'll see what happens. If I cant get across, I'm sure Juan will help me out.

-Pickle

Oh ya, airmiles are probably the sweetest thing ever. If you don't have a card I suggest getting one.
