Department perfume

Why do department stores put perfume stations at the main entrance to their store?
They force you to walk through their cloud of overpowering aroma.
Personally I think this works against their plot to lure in a customer.

Insurance claims

Insurance claims can be a bitch.

i.e.

i.e.
An abbreviation for id est, a Latin phrase meaning ‘that is.’ It indicates that an explanation or paraphrase is about to follow: ‘Many workers expect to put in a forty-hour week — i.e., to work eight hours a day.’ (Compare e.g.)

Why are English speaking people still using i.e. instead of ‘ex.’, ‘for example’, or ‘that is’?

1384-English replaces Latin as the medium of instruction in schools, other than Oxford and Cambridge which retain Latin

Border guard snarkiness

I was just in the US.
I was driving back into Canada and just before the border I was to turn off into the duty-free shop for some really cheap alcohol. I somehow missed the only sign to it and overshot the place. I couldn’t turn around because it was a one way road and there were no more exits to escape. We were forced to exit the US which I think is retarded, what if I made a mistake and didn’t want to go to Canada?
We rolled through and the officer started asking questions. I said we needed to go back and he just laughed and said “Nope”. Man was he ever being an ass about it. I was really angry.
The sole purpose of spending over 48 hours in the US was to go to the duty free shop and get cheap booze and I was denied.

New house

I’m about to buy a house, I’ll find out in a few days if I get it.
It’s a real house, 2 levels, garage, big yard and best of all I wont have to share any of it’s walls with any neighbors.


Updates to come.

Thief found

They found the guy who broke into my place. Apparently he’s some heroin addict in pretty sad shape, with only a couple of years left to him. They raided his place from a tip they were given but only found one of my things, and he was wearing my roommate’s boots. Tonight we have to id our things so he can fry in the chair or something.

House break-in

My home was broken into last night. Some things of mine were stolen while my roomate was sleeping.
The bastards took some things that were of no use to them, but of value to me. Things like motorbike models that my dad gave me for Christmas every year that I spent time and effort putting together. Alcohol, some open, some not opened. Many many cd’s and dvd’s. My camera and camcorder. What pissed me off the most was they took my girlfriend’s ring that her grandmother gave her. My stuff is bad enough but other people shouldn’t be affected by this.

If I find the ones who did this I’ll kill em.

Why didn’t someone tell me I had a typo in the last headline?

Site down?

Some of you may have noticed my site was down yesterday from 11am-7pm. It’s the first downtime I’ve had in about a year. Oops. I’ve been improving some code and creating scripts to add functionality to the site lately and a mistake haulted scoff.ca.

You may not see the effect but it’s really cool now man, like far out.
I’m getting so good at this web development I should start paying myself. Perhaps lavish gifts ?

Boy Band ?

I received the call from Clay Newbill this morning. I’m now in a boy band. This is great news, we’re all excited about the changes that are to come. Who knew a bad audition for Canadian Idol could lead to this ?!?
When I get some footage of whoever I’m grouped up with, I’ll post it (unless it’s copy protected material). Send an e-mail for private file transferring.
