GORD'S RANTS AND RAVES: 1/22/06 - 1/29/06

GORD'S RANTS AND RAVES. Sunday, January 22, 2006. As many of you may know, tomorrow we Canadians vote in a Federal Election. While I don’t like to count chickens before they hatch, it looks as if the Conservative Party will at least get a minority government, followed by the Liberals, the Bloq, the NDP and the rest. (I’m talking about YOU Green party! That is thirteen years of Liberal rule. Really, it’s just enough. But they have had enough time. Time to move on. Again, the people (as it were) have spoken.

GORD'S RANTS AND RAVES. Tuesday, September 26, 2006. Rock and Roll Fantasies 2. Continuing the new laws I have written to bring Rock and Roll back to it's former glory. You can read part one HERE. Law 21: If you are a female singer, you are no longer allowed to sing "Mercedes Benz" or "Another Little Piece of My Heart." It's been done to death, and probably by better singers than you. Law 22: Unless the name of your band is Boston, any ten year gap between albums is an automatic retirement. Law 29: Every...

GORD'S RANTS AND RAVES: THE ETERNAL QUESTIONS
http://gords-rantsandraves.blogspot.com/2006/05/eternal-questions.html
GORD'S RANTS AND RAVES. Saturday, May 27, 2006. Since the dawn of man we have been asking questions about our world and our place in it. Questions such as who am I? Why are we here? Is there a purpose to this thing called life? I have a few questions myself, and since the interweb has given me this wonderful opportunity to regurgitate words in a public way, I though I would ask a few of them. And while I’m at it, why does Madonna join religions when she’s just going to end up insulting them? Just because...

GORD'S RANTS AND RAVES. Sunday, January 15, 2006. Why Did I Do This Again? I had a fine Christmas. This Christmas, though, the family part was really good, and the gift part was also really good, which makes it an extra good Christmas. Little did I know that pretty soon I would feel like the stupidest man on the earth. The Atari 2600, for me, was the one that got away. Yes, I actually got a better machine, but come on this was the 2600! And now I have one! And the discovery is this. I suck at video games.

GORD'S RANTS AND RAVES. Sunday, November 27, 2005. More Snow For You! Before we rant, let’s take a moment for viewer mail. Bet you just can't wait for the 5-10cm that may fall later today. This was in response to my rant about how stupid people get when it starts to snow. The day this was posted there was a call for more snow of up to 5-10cm. So even though Canada has long ago switched to metric (A French invention, so no surprise we adopted it.) my brain doesn’t handle metric very well. My wife drove me...

GORD'S RANTS AND RAVES. Wednesday, September 20, 2006. Rock and Roll Fantasies. Like most people I have a soundtrack to my life. That soundtrack is Rock and Roll. Thanks to my brother Brian I grew up on it. (Although I still say The Who is better than Zepplin.). How about Pink Floyd's "Another Brick In The Wall: Part Two" that all the kids in grade school kept singing, not realising that there was a whole concept album behind it that I, and only I, out of all those grade schoolers, had listened to. Law O...

GORD'S RANTS AND RAVES: An Inconvenient Way To Make Money.

GORD'S RANTS AND RAVES. Tuesday, August 01, 2006. An Inconvenient Way To Make Money. An Inconvenient Way To Make Money. Global warming has been in the news a lot lately, thanks to former American Vice President Al Gore and his movie An Inconvenient Truth. And Al Gore, well this message on global calamity has gotten his face on TV, newspapers and on the cover of countless magazines. Now, with this movie his profile gets bigger, and it keeps getting bigger with each magazine his face appears on, and for ea...

A LITTLE BITE OF MAGIC CHEESE. A STUDY IN MAGIC AND THE CREATIVE PROCESS. Friday, September 22, 2006. I can remember well the first time I met an actual honest to God celebrity. Not a celebrity like a guy who played guitar on a local TV show each week. No, I'm talking about an absolute living legend. His name was Henny Youngman. You might have heard of him. He was a legendary comedian. I will admit now that I ran through all the possible scenerios while standing in that line. Hello Mr. Yougman.". Henny t...

Continuing the post mortem of my act at the Bernie’s Day magic show at the. Browsers Den of Magic. On Sunday September 25th. I build up to something important then it turns out to be a lousy card trick. This got a good laugh. Lesson six: A false build up is always good for a laugh. I then say But this isn’t any old card trick, this is a card trick that uses THIS!
