It’s Sunday May 20th, 2007. It’s May Two Four up here in Canuckistan. The long weekend basically involves everyone heading to a cottage, drinking and blowing things up in honour of Queen Victoria. It’s a grand ol’ time, too bad you suckers south of the border hoofed the Monarchy or else you could get in on this. But you did and you can’t. So there.

The people must have something good to read on a Sunday
