Covid reaches South Park kids

z



It's never good when our crappy 2020 world bleeds over and 3D infects the 2D fantasy world of TV cartoons.

It's wrong.

With animated horror, I learn Co-vid has reached the tiny, notorious, troubled mountain town of South Park. Oh no! 

Stan, Eric, Kyle and Kenny live there.  

A one-hour virus special is coming September 30, with dire advance pootytoots.

A Covid-190 outbreak and the on-going pandemic presents continued challenges to the citizens of South Park.

The kids happily head back to school, but nothing resembles the normal they once knew; not their teachers, nor their homeroom, not even Eric Cartman.
                                        Comedy Central/South Park

I pray nothing happens to Kenny.

I have my mask.

It's Smile Cookie week at Tim Horton's. Sales benefit local charities.

Its second-quarter results last month, the numbers for Tim Hortons were brutal. Tims' same-store sales (revenues at stores open for one year or longer) plummeted by 29.3 per cent. Burger King was down only 13.4 per cent on that crucial measure.

Would you call that a crumby year?
Even before the cookies? 




CBC Radio's Parka Patrol
has its own blog!


"This thing's going away. It will go away like things go away."

"It'll start getting cooler. You just watch."

"I don't think science knows about global warming."

And Santa will bring you a N-95 mask tonight.

Leave out a cookie.



And what have you done with your life?

Animal cracker








So the animal is called a jag-waar.
But in TV ads, the British car is a jag-you-are.

Do Brits think the dip is called gwar-koo-cah-moh-lee?

Alexa is a dirty bird







I'm watching a bird try to make an Amazon Echo fart.
As one does. 

Onni's owner discovered her cockatoo has added items to Alexa's grocery shopping  list. Hello. Farts. And eggs.

Can the bird say "Alexa! Fart!" The owner can and does.

The Echo in the video instantly farts.

But from across the room, both my Amazon Kindles "DING!" and also immediately fart. They hear the owner in the video.

"Would you like me to play a squishy fart?" my Kindle Alexa asks me. Well yes. And she does. I mute the video.

"Would you like me to  hear a juicy one?" Phhhht.

"Would you like me to play a rumbly one?" PHHHHHT.

"Would you like me to play a bubbly one?" Glugetyglugety.

"Would you like me to hear a noisy one?" BLAM!

"Say RANDOM." A galaxy of farts.


Alexa knows more farts than have ever come out my butt.
I bailed long before she did. She wouldn't stop.

Do not share this information with a child.

Alexa is way worse than a Dirty Bird. 
She's shameless.
And very gassy.

'Workin' on my Throne Rap, homies..."

"Ne m'oublie pas!"

New slogan: It's me, not WE.

Innocent question


Under the cardboard palm

Oh, sweet cardboard palm tree!
Which crazed publicist made you?
Six feet tall, you were a beacon in the Toronto Sun city room.
For years, editors walked past The Palm atop my desk.
Probably not in rapture.
I have not forgotten you, dear RattyPalm.
Nor have a decade of Sun staffers, still wondering: WTF? 
How does he get away with this crap?
It was a golden era.
There was silly. There was fun.
Okay, boomer. 
Bedtime.

They still have a TV show?

they're creepy and they're kookie
mysterious and spooky
