Plant-Based Burger Plant

Scientists, gardeners, arborists and geneticists have worked together to create the first ever burger plant.

That's right. Instead of the cumbersome process of growing plants, killing them, killing them and turning them into burgers, this new plant actually flowers burgers. Plant-based burgers, of course.

It was all an accident, really. Some guy tried a plant-based burger for the first time, found it disgusting, spat it into a field of flowers, and somehow the burgers and flowers got it on.

Keep the plant in a hot greenhouse and the burgers can cook while they're growing. Grab a bun and pluck the burger off without getting your hands messy. Pretty damn easy, eh?

Next to come is a cheeseburger plant, a taco cactus and a Chich-fil-A dandelion.

Canada's Better

Crazy America. Can you believe it?

They have a leader that paints his face orange. Good thing we don't have a leader that paints his face.

They have a leader that applies undue, possibly illegal, influence on people to benefit himself. Good thing we don't have a leader that applies undue influence.

They have a leader that got a great start in life by a rich and powerful daddy. Good thing we don't have a leader that got a start that way.

Canada…we're better than you.

Thin

There's so much pressure to lose weight in our culture of thin.

My TV is getting thinner every two years. Same with my laptop. I won't stand beside either of them.

Don't even talk to me about thin crust pizza. Soon it will just be a flaccid pile of toppings. I always ask for extra thick crust. About 36 inches, matching my waist.

When I'm on thin ice with my wife? That ice is getting thinner every day. It's gonna crack soon.

I hear even the Catholic church is cutting  back on the Host. Thin crust Host. Even God worries about His appearance.

My neighbour threatened me last week, and it was a thinly-veiled threat. What next?

The pressure.

Mother Nature

I'm sick of hearing that humans abuse Mother Nature.

What are mothers for?

Frankly, can't you help us out here, Mother Nature? Do you really have to cook us alive to prove a point? Okay, so we've gone a little overboard on the lifestyle. I started driving when I was 16, and I've eaten about 4000 steaks. That's a lot of emissions. I was feeding myself, and trying to get laid. Can you blame me?

You know what? I wash all my recyclables. Peanut butter jars? Spotless. No black plastic. I get it.

Tone down the temps and do your job. Mothers aren't allowed to complain.

On the other hand, Toronto in September feels like LA. I can't really complain about that. Call it LAronto.

Look at me. Like a little kid. Changing my mind.

Sorry, mom.

Real Elections and Fake Elections

American Election Issues:

• International bribery, promises made and broken
• Mass immigration and a billion dollar border wall

Canadian Election Issues:
• A halloween party

My Liberal candidate is Rob Oliphant. It's hard to discuss the election without acknowledging the oliphant in the room.

"Hey Rob, get out of my room."

"But you have to acknowledge me."

"Okay, I acknowledge you. Now git."

Election Fever, Canadian Style

Going through a Canadian election is like taking 30 of your favourite barbiturates, grinding them to a powder, mixing it in some warm Ovaltine and drinking slowly (don't forget to add milk and support the dairy industry), then you watch old Love Boat episodes where everyone is smiling, your internal organs begin to shut down, then your brain stem stops functioning and soon you lose the interest to get up in the morning.

It's also like stuffing yourself with those plain timbits that have zero icing and flavour, kind of like gobbling down bundled up drier sheets - unscented, because you don't want to add any flavour. Drier sheet donuts. What's the fucking point?

Fever doesn't enter into a Canadian election. It's more like election hypothermia. Close to death.

Too bad. You can't take advantage of all those tax cuts. $5 back on your gym membership. $10 if you have sex in the shower and start a family. You owe money if you masturbate, wasting the opportunity to start a family.

Because it's all about families. As opposed to those people that don't come from families. Ya, those people. Born out of a vagina-like creature and not deserving of government lucre.

Pilattes

Pilattes is a new form of exercise that's catching on. It combines your two favourite things: having a perfect body and filling it with sugar.

First you do some pilates. Not much. Couple of minutes should do it. Then you go to Starbucks and order a 1200-calorie latte with a list of ingredients longer than that required to build a nuke. It should be the perfect temperature. Not too hot. Warm. Warmish. Maybe luke warm. That might be too cold, so lukish warm. If you know someone named Luke, get him to warm it up for you. Then have another one.

That's it.

Easy.

Pilattes.

Look cool. Drink sugar.

Signs of the Times

Time was, when I was a kid and the world was in so much better shape, you had a stop sign at an intersection, and your job as a driver was to observe the stop sign and stop.

Now we have the pre-stop sign. This is a sign, located just before the actual stop sign, that has a littler stop sign on it, and it's meant to warn you that an actual, real stop sign (that's much bigger, because this is a serious stop sign) is coming up.

Really? Are these working? Do people who miss the stop sign see the pre-stop sign better? Why? Maybe every sign in the world needs a pre-sign, telling us that the real sign is coming up.

Sign: Enter

Pre-sign: You are about to enter a place.

That would immediately double the number of signs in the world. That's gotta be healthy for the planet.

Maybe a post-stop sign is in order, thanking people for observing the pre-stop sign and obeying the real stop sign.

I hear Tom Cruise is in talks to star in Minority Traffic Report, about people who get traffic tickets for not stopping at a stop sign, but before they actually don't stop. There are 3 city councillors lying in a pool of their own piss (or maybe it's taxpayers piss) and they decide who will commit the pre-crime of not stopping. One disagrees with the traffic report. Well, you know the story…

The Hopeful Mantis

Scientists have discovered that praying mantises are praying less than ever.

"Fewer and fewer humans are going to church and now report that they are atheists. This trend seems to be moving to the mantis", said Manny the mantis expert.

God seems to be less and less a force in the human world and in nature.

What are the mantises replacing God with?

"We find a lot of them are turning to gambling. Betting on their future. Lottery tickets, that kind of thing. Thankfully not crime-oriented."

Who will drop God next?

Anniversaries

I wonder what aliens would think of the human penchant for celebrating anniversaries.

"As far as we can tell, you take some event, then you wait for this huge rock you call the earth to circle the entire sun once, and then you make a fuss about the event again by spending lots of money on stuff your people make? Every time this rock circles the sun? Year after year after year after year?"

That's it.

"Please forgive us. We had no idea you were such an advanced civilization."

Brexit in Bed

Maybe people would feel a little better about Brexit if its current leader, Boris "The Spider" Johnson, didn't look like he just crawled out of bed after a night at the ale house drinking raddlers and chowing on fish and chips. And his bartender is his barber.

Get up early and watch the morning news so you know how many Europeans hate you. You may not have a pulse, but there's a political pulse to be felt.

Dude. You're heading up one of the cradles of modern democracy. Get a good night's sleep. While you're at it, take the Manga Carta to bed and give it a read.

No more Brexit in bed for Boris.

Beyond Flies

Vincent the Venus flytrap, pictured above, will no longer be eating flies.

In a lone effort to save the planet, he is the only flytrap moving to a complete plant-based diet. This is his last fly, and he's enjoying it like a death row inmate's last meal. It reminds me of Victor Feguer, an American murderer who requested a single olive as his last meal, before he was hanged in 1963. Simple tastes, indeed. Just like Vincent.

From now on, Vincent will eat a new product to the flytrap market – Beyond Flies. It looks like a fly, flies like a fly, hangs out in shit like a fly, might taste like a fly…but it's not a fly. It's a veggie.

"Sure, the other flytraps laugh at me. Even the flies think I'm crazy. They can flap their traps all they want. I'm busy saving mama Earth. I'm also not having children."

"Vincent's kind of the fly in the ointment, so to speak", said the other flytraps. "But hey, more flies for us."

"Have you tried a Beyond Flies fly?", we asked the other flytraps.

"I tried one. I can see how they are trying to simulate a real fly taste, but…nah. Pasty and dry. I couldn't open my pedals for weeks after."

Further investigation uncovered that while Beyond Flies are produced, they are often covered in real flies.

Orthorexia

Orthorexia is the new term for people obsessed with eating "clean". In search of the perfect food, they are harming themselves.

I'm sure we're all shocked at that.

Treatment includes an onion ring and beer cleanse.

Fucking the Dog

The problem with having a dog walking company is that when I'm not doing anything, people assume I'm just fucking the dog.

I assure you I am not.

No dog fucking is occurring. None is taking place.

I love my dogs. As friends.

Got it?

I wonder if it's possible to be just whelmed. Not overwhelmed or underwhelmed, but a healthy and balanced whelmed. What would have to happen to be just whelmed?

I think it was Buddha who achieved whelmedness.

We should all strive for this state of being.
