cibc grabs some more

I’m guessing the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce is pulling out all the stops in retaining its customers after proving how competent they are. I dropped my CIBC Aeroplan card three or four months ago because, at the time, I wasn’t doing enough travelling/spending to make it worthwhile. I keep getting statements because up until […]

covering cyndi

So after reading grrl‘s latest challenge, I got to wondering how many covers of (what I believe to be) the song in question there were. I used my favourite resource, and discovered the artist’s website actually tracks who’s covered what songs commercially. The answer to my question stunned me: ninety-two. Then I thought about it, […]

what is deadsquid.com all about, anyways?

I get this question a lot, and have always meant to have a short history on the subject. Here it is: A long, long time ago, on a university campus not so far from here, a small incubator company was born. Its founders had convinced the federal government that they should try this cool new […]

who’s old? run’s old!

Ok, seriously. What’s with all these references to getting old from the pups? Did people take a creaky pill this weekend, or is it just because it’s the end of February and we’re all about ready for a spring rejuvenation? I wasn’t feeling old today (still don’t, but I’m wavering). Today was one of those […]

sled saturday

If coop is old, what does that make me? I’m curious in that “oh look, a cement truck” kind of way. I’d say axe is not allowed to answer, but he wouldn’t listen, and where would be the fun in not getting smacked down after leaving the door wide open? Saturday night coop and Kristina […]

meet the peeps

There are some fun people who post, and who use deadsquid to host their stuff. I’ve thrown up an aggregator page that includes recent posts from everyone here. To have a peek, follow this link. It’s not pretty, but with luck that’ll change a little later.

tooting pigs and dancing chickens

That really says it all about this cartoon. The concentration the pig shows while tooting is pretty funny, and the subtitles allow you to “sing” along at home. I imagine it’s what would happen if you dropped acid after reading Le Petomane. Weird.

conspicuously absent

More slacking. I know, bad kev, no donut. The last couple weeks have been fairly hectic, and I Haven’t been terribly inspired to provide updates. The updates also have seemed a little inane of late, what with some people around here writing actual content. With any luck my brain will start to come back, but […]

oh… that’s not good

So here’s a picture of my neighbour’s garbage from this morning. I’m figuring he is not having a good week so far, as this was put out last night, which for the slow people out there was one day after Valentine’s Day. I don’t know about you, but there are very few happy people I […]
