Under cover where news extrodinaire pt 2

According to a tow-truck driver, a pair of girls phoned AMA last week saying they were stranded on the Deerfoot flat car tire.

This call requires two tow-trucks during rush-hour as one needed to block a lane so the second tow truck driver changes the tire safely.

This would be fine in theory if there had actually been a flat tire.

As the tow truck driver inspected all four tires with the two girls were tripping out still.

It was doubly apparent they were quite stoned when they explained they ran into bumpy sludge on the outside lane and thought the car had flat tires.

The tow truck drivers weren't impressed at all.


In Safeway news, a man dressed to the nines as Santa Claus came early to Kennsington stumbled around Safeway and had to be escorted off the premise. Love asking that question in line-up to learn about the weirdos that come into buy groceries.


Still confusion reigns to why girls are wearing short skirts in -37C wind chill. A woolen coat doesn't help keep your knees warm for the sake of fashion get some 80s ballerina socks if you must. I feel cold just seeing them.


In random entertainment, getting into the holiday spirit watching A Muppet Christmas Carol was amusing. It's apparent there is cruelty against puppets as Izzy the rat gets beaten up so much it's sad and predictable at the same time. Michael Caine is a prick of a scourge, but obviously enjoyed himself hanging out with non-furry ewoks. Three thumbs up for random musical fun.

Next up will be Die Hard 2 - airport terrorists can't keep John McClain (not the scary 2nd place winner of nothing in recent president race) from getting home for the holidays. It's a Wonderful Life and Charlie Brown's sad tree are soon to commence. No news happens at -40C unless it's a car wreck so please be careful if you must be out there.
