  • You know what would be awesome? If the police had Spider-man’s web-shooters. No tasers, no guns. There’d still be complaints of course… #
  • RT @LeftCoastMama: @AnthonyFloyd it would be inhumane to tangle people in a sticky net. What if they were allergic or afraid of heights? #

  • The Harper gov’t looks to prop up *private* broadcasters while giving the shaft to our *publlic* broadcaster. WTH? http://tinyurl.com/csz5vs #
  • Me, trying to explain what a compass is: “It’s kinda like a GPS” — 4 yr old: “Oh!” #
  • Why yes, that pulpy mass in front of my door *is* today’s edition of the @vancouversun. Grrr. #
  • Ack! Last.fm just switched to Dragostea Din Tei. Ring any bells? Numa Numa Dance! http://is.gd/o39J #
  • RT @gillianshaw: Twitter unveils plans to make money on premium accounts: http://tinyurl.com/dlqxhd [haha] #
  • Someone called 911 reporting fire at our condo. Sure made @LeftCoastMama excited; she was there! Turns out they saw DRYER VENT STEAM!?! o_O #

  • And @yoyomama_van is plugging @policemuseum! Oh what a tangled web! #
  • I still can’t believe someone called 911 over our fully (and properly) operational *dryer vent*. Never seen steam before? #

  • Happy St Patrick’s Day! #
  • RT @noncarborundum: RT @iancapstick Canadian Science minister won’t confirm belief in evolution: http://bit.ly/GGPw4 #
  • WAKE UP CANADA! How do these *fools* continue to get elected? Our sci/tech minister is an evolution-denier? Does he believe in a 6k earth? #
  • Kooks, fools, and anti-science ignoramuses should not control sci/tech purse-strings. Sadly that rules out almost all the Cons. party. #
  • You run a red light and almost hit me on my bike. I call you an asshole, loudly. And you get upset? #suckit cowboy. #
  • Will this be the year that the neocons kill off the #cbc? RT @CBCRadio3 600 – 1200 layoffs at CBC “nearly certain” http://tinyurl.com/chytrk #
  • Harper’s decimating the arts and undercutting the sciences. What’s left? Bible classes, here we come! #
  • And once again the #roft tag’s resemblance to #rotfl amuses me. Except for many of the tweets, it’s ROTF crying. What a sad state. #rotfc #
  • Canadian sci/tech minister clarifies that he *does* believe in evolution after all: http://is.gd/nM82 #
  • Grrrr, late day at work. At least the testosterone-filled rat-runners won’t be trying to gain an extra 30s by using the bike routes. #
  • Say what? How do you get lost on Mt. Gardner? And why are you hiking in BC w/o a GPS? #
  • RT @BackpackingDad: Saying people are using Twitter wrong is like saying they’re using paper wrong. Not just obnoxious, it’s unimaginative. #
  • I don’t understand why right-of-centre and the neocons are so frightened of the #cbc. Are they so afraid of an educated populace? #
  • Oh My. *That* was an interesting version of “Ring Of Fire”. It was kinda sounded like Boy George … if Boy George was from India #idol #
