That's it. I've had it. That's the last god damned injustice I'll have to suffer through.
Ha, ha, ha...literally.
Throughout November's 30 days, the folks over at Humor Bloggers Dot Com, or who I sometimes like to call HuggyBloggers Not Calm - among other things, have been running with the theme of injustice.
30 days! A whole month! 1/12th of a year! You think we get the point? Okay, okay, there's a lot of injustice out there. And nobody cares enough to do anything about it. Except a bunch of snivelling, snot-nosed, punch-line deprived humour bloggers (hey, I'm Canadian. I spell humour with a "u". Get over it. Don't get me going on THAT injustice.).
So like a dutiful member of this comedic cabal I've been writing a couple of posts a week about various injustices.


For example, November 3rd, I took racism head-on.
A few days later, on November 6th, I did another little story on injustice. I think it really measured up.
Then on Nov…

What were political cartoonists up to last week?
Well, Thanksgiving came and went south of the border last week. All of a sudden Christmas is now right around the corner. Glenn Beck's making headlines. Some wonder why. And Oprah announced she'll soon be ending in her talk show.
In Canada, the former Liberal leader's wife took aim at Michael Ignatieff, the current Liberal leader, in a rant on Facebook. It was the latest in a series of gaffes experienced by the opposition Liberals. A top diplomat blew the whistle on alleged knowledge by Canadian soldiers that Taliban prisoners were being tortured after they were handed over to the Afghans. The allegations come on the eve of Stephen Harper's visit to China, where he was expected to raise China's human rights record. Oh, yeah. Seems we have something called the Grey Cup this weekend between the Montreal Alouettes and the Saskatchewan Rough Riders.

Holy crap between here and my Facebook page we had about 40 captions submitted this week. I'm not sure if everyone wanted to beat Moooooog or if folks just have a thing for fat people. And the quality of these captions was amazing. People just had their thinking caps on this week. There was some funny, funny stuff...
For example, Moooooog, the master at our little contest came up with several good captions. One in particular cast a giant shadow (get it?):
When Jenny said that egg sandwiches go "right to her thighs" she really wasn't kidding.
Cat Lady Larew weighed in with (tee-hee):
The great thing about thunderthighs like Sylvia's is that you never have to waste money on bikini waxing.
Mr. Knucklehead made an impression [ ;) ;) ] with:
It's tough to keep smilin' with this air hose shoved up my ass but I'm a-tryin'
And Nooter demonstrated a heavy-duty sense of humour with:
e-harmony's match for the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man
But our winner this wee…

The best way to describe what I experienced the other night is this reference from Alice in Wonderland. I really know of no other way to explain it. After 6 weeks of chemo, the effects of the drugs have expanded beyond the insomnia on the days immediately following my chemo to vivid dreams, almost bordering on hallucinations later in the week. I think the sustained toxicity of these chemicals is starting to have an impact.
I take my chemo drugs on Monday. Usually, Monday and Tuesday nights I have difficulty sleeping. This week when I hit Wednesday I was pretty tired. I had chills, so early in the evening I put on my pajamas and settled down on the couch, under a blanket to watch TV. Come 9 o'clock I was off to bed. I slept in fits and starts. I awoke at 11. Again at 12:30. Then once more around 2 a.m. Then around 4 and again about 6 and I finally got up about 7. It was a rough night. I tossed and turned...and dreamed.
And boy, this was better than going to the movies.…

To my American blogger buddies and visitors... Happy Thanksgiving!

OK, we've re-christened Pause, Ponder and Pun after our winningest captioner ever...Moooooog. Man this is like that nerdy guy's run on Jeopardy.
Now we all know Moooooog will submit 2 or 3 captions and they'll all be top-drawer. But I want the rest of you guys to put your thinking caps on and outdo him. It is possible. It can be done. I know you guys can do it. Please don't make me call this thing the Stump Moooooog Caption Contest...forever!
And speaking of stumps...sheesh.
Drop back Saturday to see who dethroned Moooooog.

The Month of Injustice marathon continues over at Huggy Bloggers Dot Com. Never have so many done so little for so few. But not me. Noooooo sirreee! I've been posting several blogs a week now aimed at combatting injustice, real or imagined. And it's time I draw your attention to the mother of injustices - and I'm not talking about Chelle B.
Shave my feathers and call me Chicken Little but were you aware the world was coming to an end? Well pluck me! How unjust is that? The apocalypse is upon us - you, me and the four horses you rode in on.
I'm talking about 2012.

OMG, it's the end of the world!
Here's the synopsis of the movie 2012 that hit theatres last week, where art supposedly imitates life:
Never before has a date in history been so significant to so many cultures, so many religions, scientists and governments. '2012' is an epic adventure about a global cataclysm that brings an end to the world and tells of the heroic struggle of the survivor…
