MacKay knitting ; CSSS flash ; Sex Party Underworld

Jan. 21, 2006 Saturday

CBC reports that Peter MacKay made a sexist/ageist, or knittingist crack at former NDP leader Alexa’s expense, on the radio.  I’m not one to groan at bad puns, but a writer slipped a bad one into the report: “It’s not the first time the two have needled each other during an election campaign.”  Groan!  Maybe I’ll respect it as a pun in the morning.

A large, but mostly funny Shockwave Flash animation featuring characters from the UofR Computer Science Student Society [2.6MB].  Plenty of inside jokes, but I think it’s funny even if you don’t know the people.

Canada Post censored the The Sex Party.  This new B.C. party hasn’t registered nationally yet, but say they plan to candidates in the next federal election, and hope to introduce more sexual education into schools, and remove restrictive laws regarding harmless nudity.

I had gone to Regina to see Underworld II but the theatre was sold out.  Before my friends and I drove over to Galaxy to drive around for 5 minutes looking for parking, we watched “Underworld” [5/10] on DVD, and were largely unimpressed with this vampires and werewolves movie.
