Avert your eyes! F-bombs in story below!
WHAT THE FUCK? Since when is it acceptable to talk about a MOM I’D LIKE TO FUCK? Like seriously, I’M LAUGHING MY FUCKING ASS OFF! Oh, don’t be so shocked. We see this sort of thing in the mainstream media all the time. You probably know the above better as WTF, MILF and LMFAO. Don’t […]
FISHEYE: Winter bites
Maybe it’s not your fault, but then again – are you sure you’ve been a completely good person? Are the gods punishing you for some tiny wrongdoing? Did you, for example, brush your teeth yesterday? Is that why it’s still WINTER? Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish Griwkowsky is a visual diary […]
COUNTRY MUSIC: Tommy Hunter’s last yeehaw
Canada’s Country Gentleman is hanging up his spurs after nearly 55 years in the business. Tommy Hunter doesn’t sound particularly torn up about it, though. Relaxing at his Florida home before the final tour that will take him across Canada this month – playing at the Jubilee Auditorium tomorrow (Sunday, April 17, buy here) at […]

This handless clock on the downtown post office is a great example of unintended, beautiful public art. Because it reminds us of time, but doesn’t limit us by it, and we can just appreciate the metal sculpture for its beauty. What does a clock with no hands tell us? To take it easy, for starters. […]
COMICS: Show-and-tell on the Edmonton indie scene
It takes bravery to draw something and then bring it to a group of more experienced artists and hold it up for their criticism. Not quite superhero bravery, but bravery nonetheless. So who shows up when a group of comic artists get together twice a month at Happy Harbour Comics on Jasper Ave. and invite […]
FISHEYE: Egg-cellent question
Why are these pink eggs on sale at Lucky 97 in Chinatown? Was it some sort of Easter thing? Cultural? Sometimes a mystery is more fun than finding out, so we’ll let you decide. Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish Griwkowsky is a visual diary and memoir of his life in […]
