Unfortunate Movie Theatre Signage...


Oh my goodness, maybe some theatres need to rethink their movie listing methods.


You'll never think of "My Dog Skip" the same way. Ever. Again.

Living Downtown? Yay or Nay?

We polled you guys and found that most are not in favour of living in our downtown. Most said as much as it has come along and will continue to, it's just not "there" yet.



The Downtown Biz is working towards getting us "there" with a bunch of downtown activites planned throughout the summer. Check out the website and events here:

Umm, someone has too much spare time...and access to episodes of "Frasier"


So, some guy decided to re-record the entirety of "The Downward Spiral" by Nine Inch Nails using only sound clips from "Frasier". Two things:
One, I wish I was that savvy with technology. Two, I kind of wish "Frasier" was still being made.

Disclaimer: The re-creation is pretty terrible and would probably make Trent Reznor flip out, but the new fangled titles are worth checking out.

Slap Chop meet Eminem!



It's not exactly a raving review of the MUSIC we’ll find on Eminem’s Recovery album next Tuesday, but who needs that when it does all those things and more?!

This may also be helpful in making us feel a bit more sane at the end of a work week what with album hawker Vince's CRAZY EYES and all...

There is NO PARKING!!

That's a phrase you’ve uttered more than a few times...likely around the Osborne area...and The Winnipeg Parking Authority and Osborne Village BIZ want to hear even more!

Your chance to give your opinion on the parking or lack-there-of situation is coming up on a couple public info sessions! The first next Wednesday in the Osborne Village Biz Courtyard followed by one on July 1st in the City Parking Lot at Osborne and Stradbrook.

Need a Career Change?

Try one of these on for size...or...don't:

Odor Tester: Think your job stinks? Try being an odor tester. These employees test the efficiency of deodorants and antiperspirants by sniffing subjects' armpits. Thanks to all of their nosing around, we're spared the results of faulty products.

Professional Whistler: Believe it or not, you can make a living off whistling while you work! A whistler is an artist just like an actor or musician which can take you across the world for jobs!Not only do you need talent, but also in-your-face self-promotion and a tough skin for those who may not be so big into whistling (it's one of my biggest pet peeves).

Wrinkle Chaser: A brand-new pair of shoes is guaranteed to have a smooth, wrinkle-free design thanks these folks! At shoe companies, it's a wrinkle chaser's job to use a special iron to ensure shoes are smooth as glass when they leave the factory.

Furniture Tester: Mmm...couching it. Loungers actually get paid to test furniture for companies by sitting and moving on it. They have to wriggle around, rock, lean back, lean forward and assess the overall level of comfort. Some positions even require furniture testers to try out 200 different pieces in a single day.

Pet Food Taster: To make sure the flavors are just right, a group of adventurous eaters chow down on pet food, remarking on everything from texture to tartness. While there is the option of spitting out the pet food after tasting it and rinsing with a glass of water...some chow right down!

Golf Ball Diver: Sometimes golf balls are accidentally pitched into a course's water hazard so there are people who salvage sunken golf balls for a living. There's a whole industry devoted to rescuing submerged golf balls and selling them "used" to golf courses.

Happy applying!

Crazy Awesome Drummer Guy

Sinkhole



There's not much you can count on, but surely, you can count on the fact that the ground beneath your feet is stable, and not likely to open up into a cavernous sinkhole, which will swallow the very building you're in.

Right?



That right there is a sinkhole that opened up this past weekend, and is also reason number 1 that I will never live in Guatemala. A tropical storm hit, and bam, one less building for the paper boy to visit. So the next time you complain about potholes, be grateful that we don't grow 'em that big here in Winnipeg!

Need A New Random Skill?


Leave it up to 'The Office''s Dwight Shrute!

If you're not up on the show, he’s the resident villain of sorts knocking anyone and everyone off their pedestals, even if they aren’t ON one! Not only that, he has any and every random skill possible including German (literally, how to be German...as pictured above), Licensed Notary Public, Escape from a Straightjacket, Table Tennis and still more you can learn up on RIGHT HERE.
