Weather

Hey everyone, don't all book your plane tickets at once but Winnipeg's enjoying some truly invigorating cold weather right now! Aw, it's just great: snow on the ground, icy sidewalks (just in case you made it through the winter without falling, you sneaky-deek!), and the wind! Oh the wonderful have-your-clothes-ripped-off-while-trying-to-maintain-your-composure wind! Mmm, throw some dust and debris into the mix - now you're having fun!

Yeah, it's horrid here. At first there was talk that the whole mess would pass over us. Apparently the weather system, cleverly nicknamed Mother Nature You Whore, started out in Vancouver, then Calgary and Saskatchewan took turns in front of the ol' crap chucker. And at that point we were still actually thinking, ha ha, losers! Look at us for once: sauntering around in our short sleeves like frat boys at Mardi Gras.

But alas, when is Winnipeg ever the exception when it comes to places getting shat on? When word got out that there was an opportunity to take part in some seriously horrid weather, Winnipeg could not wait to get involved. It sprinted over to that sign-up sheet as soon as class let out ("no running in the hall, Winnipeg!") and proudly scrawled its name with a capital "W."

WINNIPEG: Hey Vancouver, this year they're offering a bonus tutorial called Tsunami: Is It Time? Cool, huh?
VANCOUVER: Ugh, you're actually into this? I'm only signing up because I told Calgary I would.
WINNIPEG: Uh...yeah, me too!
CALGARY: Whattup, queers. Hand me that pencil.

Flute

Personally I think I'm done with guys who beatbox while playing the flute. I don't know if it's the same guy I keep seeing or what, but these clips of guys beatboxing while playing the flute seem to be popping up all over the place. Honestly if I played flute I could do that. Think about it, you're blowing air out of your mouth anyway; what's so hard about making a beat while you're at it? Other instruments you could do this with would include the pan flute...and really anything else you blow on top of...a beer bottle would work...
And it's always the damn Super Mario song they're doing; stuff they know will get an instant reaction.
Whatever. It's just getting old for me, that's all.
Wow, I can't believe out of all the lame, awful music out there I decided to pick on guys who beatbox while playing the flute. The guy's playing the flute for crying out loud - obviously his entire high school experience sucked because of it - and here he's found this one thing, the ONE kind of cool thing you can do with a flute and I decide I'm going to go ahead and attack it. I'm a bad person.
Keep at it, buddy.
