"What I want to say is this: - If you logically try to persuade a person that there is no absolute reason for shedding tears, the person in question will cease weeping. That's self evident. Why, I should like to know, should such a person continue doing so?"

"If such were the usual course of things, life would be a very easy matter," replied Raskolnikoff.

Ready the whiffle bat!

I love the CBC. I wear my CBC shirt with pride. Sometimes I wear it with pants. I did, however, have to reach for the whiffle bat when I read tomorrow's weather forecast for Toronto. Are you ready for it? They're calling for ice pellets. Are you shitting me? Is this some kind of new and politically correct term for "frozen rain"? Was the term "hail" confusing people? Ice pellets?
I bet it will rain here in Vancouver tomorrow. But I'm not overly thrilled with the term "rain", so let's say that tomorrow calls for "moisture droplets".

Can I borrow your bat? Some one swiped Michael bank card info and withdraw more than $2000 from his account. In TORONTO. bitches.

Yes! The bat is always available to dispense justice via a swift, swooshing motion, leaving its victim shaken and... well, mostly perplexed and kind of confused...
I hope you guys can sort it out quickly and his bank takes care him well.
