The Greatest Town in the World - a mini-series - Pt.4 CONCLUSION

Sorry sorry.. hiatus... these things cannot be helped!

So it's finally time for the conclusion, the piece de resistance of my 4 part mini-series on this years Greatest Town in the World - Smith Falls.

This delicious landmark is the reason this town is great. They have no shame. From queerly named roads to multi-tasking congregations or even it's ability to draw in the more Devout amongst us, this town has it all. A variable cornucopia of awesome, Smith Falls, rocks my socks.

So ladies and gentlemen, without further adieu, I give you:





This juicy little landmark is hard to miss. What with it's towering signs and statues of smiling Beavers, this is the place to be for all your beaver-loving needs.

It's website encourages its visitors to "GET CURIOUS" with the Big Beaver.

Don't be fooled. While this roadside attraction may be a plethora of homosexual innuendo, it's really just dedicated to the proud and noble Beaver, that is Canada's National Animal.


Okay okay - so why is this so special?



'Common people! Where else have you ever seen something as marvelously stupendous as a giant road-side beaver? It's your one stop shop for all things beaver, not to mention a nice cool ice cream cone!
This, my friends, is what makes our country great. The lack of public shame. The inability to spot a blatant lesbian fiasco - this is the stuff that dreams are made of.
And so concludes our journey across one of Ontario's greatest towns. Stay tuned for more cross-country adventures!

Animals and the people who love them.

The Yuletide season is upon us. For the better prepared portion of our community, you've finished your x-mas shopping. For the bulk of my readers, you probably haven't even begun. For most people, x-mas shopping involves wracking your brain for -the- gift that will compliment your loved ones. For others, a last minute dash to the dollar store will suffice. Then there are the people that shop for their pets. These are not only the people that buy for their pets, but also give from their pets as well. From: Mittenz Major corporations make millions off of these chumps pet owners by milking them for everything their worth. From holiday themed pet toys, to pictures for your best friends with Santa Claws (heh heh) Today I received an e-flyer from PetSmart about some handy-dandy last minute gift ideas for my pets. I am the disgruntled owner of two disgusting cats. Regardless of the fact that they are ungrateful bastards, I wouldn't buy them presents strictly on the principle t

Okay, right off the bat - Approx. 17% of Canada's population is children/youth under the age of 15. A survey conducted in 2003 by the Canadian Teachers’ Federation says watching TV is a daily pastime for 75 percent of Canadian children, both boys and girls from Grade 3 to Grade 10.( ... ) Thus, the average child in Canada spends on average 42 hours a week in front of the television or computer.( ... ) That is a huge demographic. A huge demographic of children being subjected to not only the tripe that's on the tube, but gallons and gallons of information that's being processed through their developing brains on a daily basis. Television stations make millions off colourful, musical shows that get kids hooked. And if they promise a jump on a learning curve, parents will eat that shit up with a spoon. Anything to make their kids smarter and give them that 'edge' and parents forget that they're propagating the problem of hours in front of the boob tube. That said,
