It's So Clear Now


The two people in this picture are Jack Black and Kyle Gass. They make up the rock/comedy band, Tenacious D...I highly recommend.
I recommend even more highly now that my uncle educated me this weekend about the hand movement that Kyle is doing in the photo above.
Apparently this move was trademarked by Ronnie James Dio, they teeny tiny man I saw on Saturday night (more on that to come).
But the most exciting thing about finding out who this "Dio" is (according to the random people driving in 1992 Chevys, he "fucking rocks") understanding the song I've been confused about by Tenacious D for months...called "Dio".
Now I understand...
DIO
By Tenacious D
Dio has rocked for a long, long time, Now it's time for him to pass the torch. He has songs of wildebeests and angels,
He has soared on the wings of a demon.
It's time to pass the torch, You're too old to rock, no more rockin' for you.
We're takin' you to a home, But we will sing a song about you.
And we will make sure that you're very well taken care of.
You'll tell us secrets that you've learned.
Raow! Your sauce will mix with ours, And we'll make a good goulash baby.
Dio, time to go! You must give your cape and scepter to me.
And a smaller one for KG.
Go! Go! Dio! Dio!

I Bleed Orange, er, Red, No Orange? Dammit.



Yesterday I could be found canvassing for the Liberal candidate in the London-North-Centre by-election.

Don't start gasping with surprise. If you know me, I don't think you'd be that surprised to know that he's the one I'd choose to help in this election. My other choices compelled me to do so.

And personally I think the man is the best candidate...and if you want to know the truth, Glen Pearson is the most forward, globally aware candidate that is running. He is the director of the London Food Bank, he is the creator of a London based humanitarian organization to end slavery in Southern Sudan.

And he was described in Parliament as London's own Mother Theresa.

And I think it says a lot when a card carrying NDPer, like myself, decides that partisan affiliations are so unnecessary I am compelled to support a member of another party.
