Is the noise being made by people? Like maybe a CROWD of people?

Woman in The Bay: I'm not sure if it's crowded, or just noisy.

Welcome to Winnipeg: We have Syphilis!

Is it just me, or are those garbage-can ads (while possibly necessary) fairly off-putting?

He was saying I have a fax from Cape Breton. Didn't you take a message?

I don't know if he was following me around, or what, but I saw Buster the Disowned Rankin Brother in two different parts of the city today. Both times he was cheerfully singing at the top of his lungs. The second time he talked to me for a while, and I would transcribe his conversation here, but I couldn't make out a single word except "Halifax" and "Cape Breton".

Was he perhaps claiming that Halifax is on Cape Breton Island? Was he telling me that he is from Cape Breton? Or from Halifax? Was he telling me that that's where he's headed? Some things science cannot answer.

Come on. EVERYONE knows that!

Guy on a cell phone: ... but are they magic zombies? Cause if they're not magic zombies you can't kill them.

What your kids are really doing when you're away

Teen #1: Hey, my parents are out of town this week end. You guys should come over and we can build a fort.
Teen #2: (very excitedly) Oooh! With pillows?
Teen #1: Yeah! And we can use, like, dictionaries and big books to hold down the sheets!

What happens when you go out for ketchup?

Guy (looking at a bag of flour): That doesn't really seem like enough. But then, I usually spend about $1000 on a grocery store trip. When I only went out for mustard.
