rants and observations

I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that McDonald’s Restaurants is the official restaurant and a major sponsor of the 2010 winter Olympics. Who says loads of money can’t buy anything, huh? Can you imagine how many Olympic athletes adhere to a healthy diet of delicious McGrease burgers and fat fries? But THEY’RE the official restaurant. Go figger.

hen undergoing an MRI scan, you’re asked to change into a prerequisite hospital smock before the procedure. A sign in the change room asks you to bring your valuables with you to protect them from theft. But it really doesn’t do much good if you’re trying to protect your money from VANOC because they always have access to your wallet. That’s why it took 7 months to have your MRI in the first place.

So you pitched your digital tent and waited patiently online to purchase the best Winter Olympics tickets you could find and afford. You’re happy with your nosebleed seats for which you paid dearly but you must ask yourself Who got all the premium tickets?. You’ll be happy to know that’s it’s your own government that scooped most of them and they did it with your money. Happy now?

Imagine you’ve built your drug business from the ground up, securing the manufacturing and distribution systems and building a firm customer base from scratch. You and your two partners are living in the house from which the drugs are distributed, a drug warehouse for your prosperous business that has 107,000 ecstasy pills (valued at a cool $1 million) and 170 grams of cocaine. Life is good.
