I came across this interesting post on JimmyCanuck’s blog. It shows how you can save loads of money at stores like Future Shop just by trying.
… That being said, the sale was for 12% off the regular price of $2599, rather than the $2499 I paid. I worked out the difference between the two after the discount and expected to get around $200 in return. Of course, that’s if I could convince the customer service desk that I was in fact entitled to the money. With it being an online only sale, the store might have argued that it doesn’t really apply to them (and for the most part, they’d be right.) Despite this, I decided to go on down and try to slug it out with them anyways. After all, $200 is nothing to sneeze at.
When I arrived the cashier… read the rest on Jimmy’s blog here
I was reading Brem’s blog when I came across his post about Weird Al Yankovic’s new album. The new album Straight Outta Lynwood is coming out on September 26. Weird Al Yankovic made a parody of American Idiot by Green Day. It’s called Canadian Idiot. The lyrics are hilarious. Watch song and read lyrics below.

Weird Al Yankovic Canadian Idiot Lyrics
Don’t want to be a Canadian idiot
Dont want to be some beer swillin’ hockey nut
and do I look like some frost bitten hosehead
I never learned my alphabet from A to zed
They all live on donuts and moose meat
and they leave the house without packin’ heat
never even bring their guns to the mall
and you know what else is too funny
their stupid monopoly money
can’t take ’em seriously at all
Well maple syrup and snow’s what they export
they treat curling just like it’s a real sport
they think their silly accent is so cute
can’t understand a thing they’re talking aboot
sure they got their national health care
cheaper meds for prime rates and clean air
then again well they got celine dion
eat their weight in kraft macaroni
and dream of driving a zamboni
all over saskatchewan
Don’t want to be a Canadian idiot
We’ll figure out their temperature in Celcius
see the map they’re hovering right over us
tell you the truth it makes me kinda nervous
always hear the same kind of story
break your nose and they’ll just say sorry
tell me what kind of freaks are that polite
It’s gotta mean they’re all up to something
so quick before they see it coming
time for a pre-emptive strike
Should we Boycott Weird Al’s music? 😉
This is probably old news by now but I just came across the second episode on youTube so I thought I’d mention it here.
Last Thursday CTV accidentally aired the wrong episode of Grey’s Anatomy! They aired the second episode of Season 3 instead of the season premier! I’m sure many Canadian fans are frustrated and CTV’s action is unjustifiable. What’s very interesting though is how our American neighbours are trying to watch the second episode in advance! The second episode got leaked onto youTube today:
STOP! If you haven’t seen the season premier do not watch this. Watch the second episode of season 3 here
Not a deal not a freebie. Just thought I’d mention it for anyone interested. More details on the Shoppers Drug Mart & Annabelle Model Search Websites here
