The food portion of my SuperBowl Tea Party for Men has been decided:

Cheeseburger in a can!

I’ll be serving cheeseburgers from a can.

That’s it, I think this is the best idea ever. Tea parties for men. A quiet, relaxing time talking, listening to CBC Radio and talking about our families and friends.

Who’s in? Drop me a line to: greg@gregattack.com to sign up or inquire.

The Toronto School Board agreed to charter a black only school.

I’m a guy who’s down with the end of funding for public education, and I’m black so I’m totally not down with there being a blacks-only school in Toronto. Stuff like that is totally not cool with me.

For one thing, I know this is said a lot, but being black is just a skin colour, culturally there’s a ton more diversity among black people from various parts of Africa or the Caribbean than non-black people would know. Lumping them into a school based on skin colour (because ‘racially’ there’s a lot of variation among us too) isn’t going to be a good thing.

I can totally understand that people want to see black kids do better, and segregation might be a way of achieving that, but it has to be the worst way imaginable.

It’s just such a horrid precedent it should be illegal or something. It’s both an embarrassment to blacks and discriminatory.

I see this as the start of something really, really bad.

My SuperBowl tea party for singles (i.e., single men with no lives) is cancelled.

It seems my not having cable or rabbit ears puts a damper on the watching of t.v. thing.

And since we’re a couple of weeks away from Smash Bros. Brawl I don’t think I have anything for a bunch of guys to do.

You know, I don’t understand why some women tell me there’s no good guys out there.

He’s yours for the taking!

How dumb is it that Outlook search defaults (or maybe only) searches from oldest e-mail to newest?

If you’re searching for the most relevant information, newest to oldest makes a lot more sense.

I’m pleased to announce the Award Winner of the first annual Greg Burns End of the Year awards.

And the Categories are:

Best Mom

And the nominees are:

1) My mom
2) Gladys’ mom
3) Britney Spears
4) Supes (note: not yet a mom)

And the winner is….

My mom!!! By a landslide.

Judge’s Note:

JimmyJames’ mom wins the ‘Best mom away from mom’ category

Best Album Award

1) Rush, Snakes and Arrows
2) The Cult, Born Into This
3) Anything else by anyone else

And the winner is….

No one! No one is capable of releasing a good album anymore.

Funniest Coworker

1) Jonathan C. (good use of sarcasm, understated humour)
2) Sage K. (versatile delivery, thought up the domain name, yellowheaven.com)
3) The other voice in my head
4) Paul K.

And the winner is….

Sage K.! Sage’s consistent and lively humour was responsible for some of the funniest, non email-product related humour of 2007. Paul’s a close second, but he’s gone all managerial on us.

Best Party

1) Peter H. and June’s wedding
2) Jonathan’s and Bonnie C.’s wedding
3) Sara and Joe’s wedding

And the winner is….

It was close, but Sara’s for Sporty Spice and various other celebrity look-alikes

Worst illness

This was an uncontested category. Definitely the one my cousin Mary’s kid inflicted upon me. I had to go to the clinic for that one, and was laid up for a few days. Nasty.
