Which is good because I definitely just texted everyone in my phone. And by texted I mean sexted. All the kids are doing it. What? Yes I'd jump off a bridge! Mr Galvin suffered massive internal injuries and had to be fitted with a colostomy bag until surgeons at the Royal London Hospital could perform the complex operation to rebuild his bottom.
The medical team took a muscle from above his knee, wrapped it around his sphincter, and then attached electrodes to the nerves.
These are now operated by a palm-sized remote control that he carries in his pocket.
"They call me the man with the bionic bottom, but that doesn't bother me. My gratitude to the surgeons is endless because what they have done is a miracle." Colostomy bag or a bionic ass, that's a tough call. I'd probably opt for a bullet in my head. Kidding, suicide is never the answer. Unless you're my ex-wife, in which case it totally is. Man uses remote to control his 'bionic bottom' [telegraph] Thanks to Ross, who uses a remote control to chew but is starving because he lost the thing in a couch. | |

| http://www.geekologie.com/2009/11/mario_and_luigi_rob_cab_driver.php  Mario and Luigi, best known for plunging shitters and trying to save the Princess from the evil clutches of Bowser, have turned to a life of crime. Specifically, robbing cab drivers. What's the Mushroom Kingdom coming to?! At around 4 a.m. on November 1, presumably following a Halloween party, a Staten Island cab driver was assaulted and robbed by four men. It being Halloween, it may have been difficult for the victim to describe the assailants, but two of the men were wearing unmistakable costumes - Mario and Luigi.
A surveillance video, which can be viewed on the NYDailyNews, shows two men dressed as Mario and Luigi wrestling a cabbie for his cash while a third man dressed in a tuxedo stood watch. Anybody with information about the true identities of the two has-been heroes should contact Princess Peach of the Mushroom Kingdom. Oh, and tell her the GW sent you. She doesn't know who I am, and I want you to look stupid. Men Diguised as Mario and Luigi Rob Cab Driver [tomsguide] Thanks to Brian, Aron, wes, Cyke101 and sham, who only cosplay for good. | |

| Did anyone find a brown ROOTS wallet last night, around Runnymede and Bloor? Mine apparently didn't make it home with me last night. :( | |

| I overhear that there's a Teaser Trailer for the Reboot Movie out on the 'web, and in finding that (since I knew of it, the teaser is really nothing new or exciting), I come across the latest Wes Anderson film, The Fantastic Mr. Fox. Apparently it came out late October. It's nowhere to be found in Toronto. Christine also mused that we didn't see Where the Wild Things Are, and now it's only showing in some pretty scarce and out-of-the-way locations. We've got lots of Cineplex tickets and giftcards yet we hardly see movies. Well, I guess that's 'cause there's not a lot to see. But I waaaaant to see Fantastic Mr. Fox. Edit: Oh... IMDB's listing a late November release. No wonder I can't find it. XD | |

| Hello Toronto rat lovers...!
Right now the Toronto Humane Society is overloaded with pet rats - there are three litters (about 20-25 rats) at that perfect two month(ish) age ready to go, and a two or three more litters coming. Plus another dozen or so mature rats of various ages in singles and pairs. They're all sweet, friendly, and hand-trained. If you've ever considered adopting a pet rat (or two... or ten) this is the time to do it. | |

| Hey all,
Does anyone know where I can catch HBO Boxing events in the west end? More particularly the Pacquiao vs. Cotto fight tonight.
Thanks! :) | |

| that just about everyone in NYC is going to be showing up for jury duty for the next few months. Heaven knows I would. In any case, I think that there's going to be a crapton more people actively NOT trying to dodge their civic duty, just in case. | |

| More links to drop off at Linksville, coming in off the Molentary Express! I think awhile back I mentioned something written about how the universe doesn't want the LHC to start up because it doesn't want a Higgs-Boson to exist. Let's throw another monkey wrench in the machine - or rather, a baguette. I can't believe how vulnerable this machine is! It's like we're gonna have an Out of This World experience. (Speaking of which, ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) ravenworks found a in-browser version of the game. Insane!) Looking for a TV or movie-themed font? How about TypeNow? (I was actually looking for that Rock Band title font, but haven't had any luck. I can deal without it for now, since it's probably not a full-fledged font set.) Hotel Dusk sequel? YES PLEASE! There are quite a few publishers that I've begun to follow in earnest, and CING is on that list. Makes me want to go back and play that again. (Hey Dave, what game was it that I was gonna lend you? Was it Professor Layton and the Curious Village? Let me know when you have some time for new games and I'll lend it to you :P) For those who are interested in seeing a badger, Weebl has Badger Hour. It apparently really does run for an hour... Alright, bedtime ^^ | |

| I'm looking for a REALLY GOOD chicken wing special that's on in Toronto on saturday nights. I'll be back in town next weekend and my friends and I want to get wings. That and, my friend's boyfriend can apparently consume wings in huge quantities and I want to see, haha.
So yes, ANY good chicken wing specials on Saturday nights in the city? | |

| I know this isn't really Toronto exactly but at 3pm today country 95.3 was replaced with a rock station.

| http://www.geekologie.com/2009/11/free_willy_whale_penis_leather.php  Remember the Dartz Prombron Monaco Red Diamond Edition armored cars we reported on last month? You know, the ones that came with a 'whale penis leather interior' option? Ha, how could you forget? -- you called the company to find out if you could just buy seats. Well, after many complaints from whale-loving organizations like Greenpeace, the WWF and PETA, the company has decided to drop the option. Per their absolutely terrible press release. And I mean terrible: We have no any ideas to kill the whale or something like that. All we want - to make just luxury car. Real luxury car which will be world number one car. [...] All we want to unite luxury and armoring traditions of RussoBalt factory in one car, which brand celebrated 100 years now. At 1922 RussoBalt was renamed to PROMBRON' (ex.RussoBalt).
We just looking for most expensive products for this car - and that's why we choosed whale penis leathure when we checked it is most of most. After wave of protest we realised our mistake and make a decision not to use natural leathure at all. We will focus on world most advanced nanotechnologies to achieve interior highest quality using artificial materials which also was never used for cars. We want to tell our hello to all whales: "Our Sea Brothers! We all know that earth are stand on three whales - we will keep You live! We don't Earth fall down to Ocean! I can only assume that's just a horrible, horrible translation job. Because if not, this is the last car I'd ever want to drive. You can't even put a sentence together, how am I supposed to trust your air bags?! *POOF!* Elephant scrotum, nice. Hit the jump for two more shots of the most whale-hating-est vehicles in the world. | |

Watch out for black cats and shit! Channel the terror of Crystal Lake in this "Jason" hoodie from the Friday the 13th series by Marc Ecko. Bloody full zip-up hoodie with breathing holes and mesh eyeholes for visibility. Four button flap pockets, flocking, leather straps and metal rivets, rib knit sleeve cuffs and hem. Cool. Unfortunately, it's a little late to order one to wear today. Unlesssssss you have a time machine and could go back a week. But if you could do that why wouldn't you go back and kill Hitler in a Jason hoodie. That little mustachio'd twink will never know what hit him! (It was your machete) Hit the jump for three more shots of this very quality product. | |

| Hi folks,
I'm looking for someone reliable to do some postering/flyering in the downtown core. I have 500 flyers that I would like stuck to poles etc...and no time to do it myself. I want to make sure that these don't end up in the garbage or floating down the street...
Any recommendations out there?
Thanks! | |

| Hey, hey! This is your Friday Night Delight comin' to you on Friday the 13th! My suggestion for something to make this day freakier than it already is? Go see "Paranormal Activity". That movie is slow to start, but will mess with you as it progresses. Just ask my pal Mario. It really freaked him out. So, I've been gaming a bit more lately. No, I'm not on some new MMO, although I did buy "Champions Online". No, I've been blasting bandits and alien dogs away in this year's super smash hit shooter, "Borderlands". I don't care if you're a fan of shooters or not, this game is fantastic. Aside from the fact that you have a bajillion guns to find, what makes this game truly amazing is the comedy. If you decide to give this game a try, I guarantee you'll have a blast and laugh. In case you didn't know, I'm in a short "Brownsploitation" film called "Biggs N Hard". It's a comedy about two hard hittin', chick bangin' detective pimps tryin' to clean up the streets in the '70s. On December 5th, it will screening at the Comedy Bar. It's gonna be a huge event with live comedy and lots of partying. Check out the trailer for the movie here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EdBzEVaoxQWell, that's all the time I have right now. So, be excellent everybody and party on, dudes! | |

| How does one rent a place in this city without good credit? I have a friend who's moving here from Montreal, has a job lined up, has money for first and last month, isn't a deadbeat, pays rent on time, and every place he's going is telling him NO, because he has less than stellar credit.
Does he need to answer this? what's the criteria? My husband and I just moved here so I'm really not all that familiar with the technicalities of renting, because we didn't have the same issue.
He's looking in Cabbagetown/Church/Wellesley, and coming up with nothing by walking around. If anyone's got some leads, it'd be awesome.
Because as much as we like him, we didn't expect a roomate, and we need to find him his own little place.
Coming from BC and NS as we are, it just seemed to me they ask a heck of a lot of financial info, bank records, credit history, co signers, some of these places. We didn't have half the questions he's been getting. How much financial info are they entitled to? | |

| I would like to buy a new pair of glasses. My original pair is perfectly intact, but I would like a spare pair.
I found this one place called Great Glasses. They offer free eye exams and 3 for 1 glasses.
This seems a little too good to be true.
Anyone been to this place and can verify that it's legit?
Also, anyone have any recommendations of places to get your eyes tested and/or to buy glasses? I am hunting around but am not sure what's good or not. (It's been a while since I bought these glasses.)
TIA

| http://www.geekologie.com/2009/11/nasa_significant_water_found_o.php  Remember how NASA tried to blow up the moon to get at its molten cheese core? Well apparently they discovered a 'significant' amount of water in the process. Adult swim! The discovery was announced by project scientist Anthony Colaprete at a midday news conference. "Indeed, yes, we found water," he said.
The find is based on preliminary data collected when the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite, or LCROSS, intentionally crashed October 9 into the permanently shadowed region of Cabeus crater near the moon's south pole.
After the satellite struck, a rocket flew through the debris cloud, measuring the amount of water and providing a host of other data, Colaprete said.
"The discovery opens a new chapter in our understanding of the moon," the space agency said in a written statement shortly after the briefing began. Hell yes a new chapter in understanding the moon! CHAPTER 6: Water On The MoonThere is water on the moon. Specifically, frozen water. THE END NASA finds 'significant' water on moon [cnn] and Picture [juliefainart] Thanks to AZ-TRO-NOT, joey, STephen and Lizze, who found Kool-Aid on the moon but you probably never heard about it because of the massive conspiracy. | |

| Got the final word from school today.
I've won the academic achievement award. To qualify there couldn't be any unauthourized absences in my first year record and the first year cumulative GPA had to be at least 3.75 (4 was the highest). I received the letter yesterday and my eyes just about bugged out of my skull.
This helps make up for a crappy experience I had earlier yesterday - no reason to get excited but it deserves a follow-up at a later time... it's just too ironic for me to articulate at this moment :P But that's another story.
Yeah, money, F### YEAH! | |

| Happy Friday the 13th, everyone ;) It's one of my favorite days! It's like it was made just for me!
Just because I know I was paid today shouldn't give me free-reign to purchase everything in sight. I've spent so much money on this day alone on two trips to different supermarkets (of course, buying more than I should have since it was a good deal) and shipping out some packages. The online dollars really disappear way too easily, and that's what's dangerous to me, if I didn't really stop and think about it I wouldn't know I spent it.
Anyways! Off to work for a Department Meeting. I haven't been to one of these in ... like, ever, since they always schedule them when I have my week off or on the overnights. Not that I'm complaining :P I'd prefer to be sitting at the desk and having a physical presence rather than be on the phone for 30-60 minutes cradled on my neck and just listening.
Edit: To completely wreck an internet meme, short meeting is SHT. 10 minutes, I should've just dialed it in. XD | |
