Yes, but it’s genetically pre-programmed into every American creature that has ever heard of Canada, to eventually flee here. The Empire Loyalists, the Underground Railroad, the draft dodgers and now homicidal seals.
Point 1 Thems ain’t Hawaiians
Point 2 Thems is New Zealanders
Point 3 There is only 1 ‘K’ in haka
Point 4 While in NZ Rugby is an almost religion thems ain’t monks and they wear boots with spikes on so who needs a weapon.
I’m quite drunk and, yet, this makes so much sense to me. It’s like I hold the answer to life’s most delicate questions in my glass of cheap vodka and soda.
The answers to all of life’s most delicate questions lie in vodka.
Buying vodka is akin to paying for a service. You are not paying for the vodka itself, you are paying for the services that are provided by the vodka. The refreshing beverage is just an extra perk.
Okay, I dyslexia’d this at first, and now I have a weird modern day Navy Seal/Templar Knight/Assasin’s Creed dude who looks like Jason Momoa wandering around Canada shooting people… I need to learn how to read gud.
If that was a movie starring Jason Momoa, I’d go see it. But only if he was shooting bad guys FOR GREAT JUSTICE.
Actually, I would see it because Jason Momoa is bloody hot. *drools*
It is sad I live in AB and I didn’t know this till regresty. I pressumed that was what it was when they brought up ‘what happened at UofA” and “so-and-so was really shaken up, she just gradded from there” but details were not shared out of respect.
I meant to look it up once I got home but regresty is always my go-to on the internet first. Good to know you’re keeping me up to date on local news as well.
Hello fellow Calgarian! Looks like an ATM robbery that took place on the campus while guards were loading a machine. Not a Montreal situation, but still sad.
Not only that but it was one of the guards who did it – allegedly. Did he think no one would notice that he’s the only one who’s unharmed? Oh and also missing?
They should call in Mantracker. He’s from out there, isn’t he? The cowboy hat is a giveaway.
In retrospect, the background checks done upon the seals selected for study could have delved a bit more deeply in the “violent vendetta against humanity” sector, but we assumed that those questions would have been covered when the seals applied for their firearm licenses.
Can’t blame errant seals. Just some dirtbag armed guard who shot his co-workers to steal money. Shit like this is only supposed to happen on CSI, not up here in peaceful Canada.
The fuckin’ fucker was just caught at the border trying to cross into Washington state. Never ever thought I’d say this but: Thanks American Border Guards!!!
That’s a new one for me, too, although I once witnessed them give a thorough going-over to a carload of aggressive, drunken, idiot frat boys coming over from Windsor.
Most amusing! Especially the taking-the-car-apart part.
What’s the worst punishment the fucker can get–life without parole? Maybe if he’s not lucky, he’ll meet up with some friends of his victims in prison. A girl can hope!

We’ll take Wisconsin for its beauty and innocence, Arizona since half of our senior citizens winter there anyhow, and the part of Ohio north of the I90, including all of Cleveland. You can keep the rest of that clusterfuck until they realize that the civil war is over and they were supposed to be on the Union side anyhow.
Please accept East Tennessee. It’s a little known fact that we were very Union leaning during the war, and would’ve succeeded the way West Virginia did, except for the Confederate Army that was occupying to protect the railroad. Kinda hard to vote with guns in your face…
I think the Canadians sent over Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy to lull us into a state of submission with rural colloquialisms and flannel shirts.
Not surprisingly, they started with our Southern states.
California used to be worthwhile but condom requirements have killed the porn industry and any value California had. Sorry Canada no more Mountie/moose porn for you!
The Great Provinstate of Albertama Welcomes You. Enjoy our high level of education and warm weather but please ignore the ignorance and blizzards, y’all eh?
You know, I have one simple request. And that is to have Hawaiian Monk Seals with frickin’ cameras attached to their heads! Now evidently my cycloptic colleague informs me that that cannot be done. Ah, would you remind me what I pay you people for, honestly? Throw me a bone here!
I don’t understand why people get so upset about clubbing seals – maybe they just want to get out, dance, and have a few over-priced drinks like all of the other club kids.
I’m looking it over and…nope, can’t see anyone laughing AT THE SHOOTING. But thanks for trying to make everyone feel like shit. Very helpful on humor blog.
I don’t think people are laughing at the fact that some people were shot and killed but rather… oh nevermind. I have a feeling you still wouldn’t get it.
I was actually laughing at people getting shot and killed. But I tend to think outside the box, you know? Plus, I’m new here and have Downs Syndrome. And Rickets. And a mosquito bite that’s bugging the fuck outta me.
Just hold out until we discover a planet where the inhabitants value wrinkles and use them as currency. Then, sit back and enjoy the good life! Imagine a mansion built on wrinkles!
My favourite part is that this is supposed to be local news for Sherman-Oaks, California. I wonder how the search criteria ended up with these two stories.
As far as I’m able to determine, it has something to do with Alabama having seceded to Canada, led by some Buddhist seals who perhaps came from a monastery based in California.
My mechanic told me I have a bad seal somewhere in the nether regions of my car. I believe everything he tells me, as I’ve afraid to look under the hood ever since he found a dead mouse in the carburetor and tried to tell me the engineer died.
Anyway…I now only have good seals, so I’m sure I won’t get shot. I might, however, have my photo taken by them assuming they’re Hawaiian.
So a walrus takes his car to to the shop because of an oil leak and the mechanic says “It looks like you blew a seal”. “Huh?”, says the walrus wiping off his chin, “I was eating ice cream.”
The nerve. Those holy seals should THANK us. We thoughtfully used epoxy glue on the skin to mount a camera on a critter made to cut through water. Of course, just a little bit of rippling of the skin will make no effect on his drag coefficient…
I suppose it’s escargot instead of tuna. Sorry, Charlie.
One of the purposes of the earlier study was to find out how much the cameras hinder the seals’ abilities to swim and hunt. There was little or no impact.
Scientists didn’t want to be responsible for messing up the seals since there are only about 1000 Monk Seals left. Period.
It’s kind of important to find out ways to help the population recover or they’ll become extinct quite quickly.
I know I’m going against the official and complete Regretsy guidelines in writing a serious reply, but I wanted to assure everyone that all the people working on this project care about the seals.
It was either mount cameras to the seals to find out what they’re up to or occasionally haul one off the Gitmo and land-board them until they tell all.
I’m relieved to know it doesn’t affect their hunting any, but OMG, I work with epoxy glue and that shit drives me nuts just with a bit on the skin – definitely not enough to mount a camera with.
I understand why they’re doing it, but if the seals don’t like it, I wouldn’t blame them for modding firearms for their own use. I guess, for the seal, it’s bit like having sand in your shoe. You’re fully functional, but still willing to slap a bitch at the end of the day.
Seals have thick fur and really thick skin, so I’m sure they don’t feel the epoxy as much as you feel it. Seal neurology isn’t my area of expertise, but it makes sense that their skin is less sensitive than humans…
Or at least I hope so! Just imagine how much sea urchin spines, jellyfish and all the other stuff in the water would bug them otherwise! Not to mention all that sand!
Is there a shortage of editors in the world or something? Because I have no idea how those could have been put together.
In other news, the guys who did it got caught trying to cross the border with no passport and his real Alberta driver’s license while driving the truck that everyone was supposed to be on the look for.
Nowadays copy editors and even proofreaders are rarer than Hawaiian monk seals. Most newspapers have zero such employees with writers told “U rite it it gud yourselfs, kay”. So electronic news media — pfffft!.
Then again, old newspaper employees used to regale us with similar tales of the old days. A paste-up guy in the print shop was brushed off when he tried to report an error in an ad. “We don’t correct ads”, he was told. So the full 2-page ad was run as is with “HAWAIIAN SHIT SALE” across the top.
There is no shortage of editors in the world; if there were, we’d be getting paid better (at least, that’s what I learned from economics). There does, however, seem to be a shortage of DEMAND for editors. In other words, there are a lot of organizations that need editors and don’t realize it. (If the Internet and everything else suddenly makes sense now, you’re welcome).
OT, but are we doing tragicrafting this year? last September was a hoot compleat with crying glitter eagles and goatse 9/11 blingees. That would be fun to revive.

June 16, 2012 at 5:17 pm
And so the age-old feud between those two violent geographic areas, Hawaii and Canada, has come at last to bloodshed. What shall become of us all?
June 16, 2012 at 5:53 pm
Well the seals figured they’d make a run for Canada after the killing spree. They gotta get out man. They’re not going back to the pen!
June 16, 2012 at 6:00 pm
Fleeing to Canada is a terrible idea. We’re internationally known for our willingness to bash seals.
June 16, 2012 at 6:10 pm

Those were nuns in that bar fight.

My mechanic told me I have a bad seal somewhere in the nether regions of my car. I believe everything he tells me, as I’ve afraid to look under the hood ever since he found a dead mouse in the carburetor and tried to tell me the engineer died.
Anyway…I now only have good seals, so I’m sure I won’t get shot. I might, however, have my photo taken by them assuming they’re Hawaiian.
Vodka is my friend, right?

I think as long as you don’t drive to Hawaii you’ll probably be alright.
I’m not a mechanic, but I play one in my shed at night.
June 17, 2012 at 4:24 pm
Kinky.

Like a banjo or something?

Yes. Like a banjo or something.

So a walrus takes his car to to the shop because of an oil leak and the mechanic says “It looks like you blew a seal”. “Huh?”, says the walrus wiping off his chin, “I was eating ice cream.”

See Heidi Clume comment above: she had a lot of experience blowing Seal

The nerve. Those holy seals should THANK us. We thoughtfully used epoxy glue on the skin to mount a camera on a critter made to cut through water. Of course, just a little bit of rippling of the skin will make no effect on his drag coefficient…
I suppose it’s escargot instead of tuna. Sorry, Charlie.

One of the purposes of the earlier study was to find out how much the cameras hinder the seals’ abilities to swim and hunt. There was little or no impact.
Scientists didn’t want to be responsible for messing up the seals since there are only about 1000 Monk Seals left. Period.
It’s kind of important to find out ways to help the population recover or they’ll become extinct quite quickly.
I know I’m going against the official and complete Regretsy guidelines in writing a serious reply, but I wanted to assure everyone that all the people working on this project care about the seals.

Actually, sometimes it’s nice to know what’s actually going on rather than the proportions we can blow it out of.
June 17, 2012 at 4:26 pm
Or the orifices we blow it out of.

It was either mount cameras to the seals to find out what they’re up to or occasionally haul one off the Gitmo and land-board them until they tell all.
June 17, 2012 at 2:20 pm
I’m relieved to know it doesn’t affect their hunting any, but OMG, I work with epoxy glue and that shit drives me nuts just with a bit on the skin – definitely not enough to mount a camera with.
I understand why they’re doing it, but if the seals don’t like it, I wouldn’t blame them for modding firearms for their own use. I guess, for the seal, it’s bit like having sand in your shoe. You’re fully functional, but still willing to slap a bitch at the end of the day.
June 17, 2012 at 6:26 pm
Seals have thick fur and really thick skin, so I’m sure they don’t feel the epoxy as much as you feel it. Seal neurology isn’t my area of expertise, but it makes sense that their skin is less sensitive than humans…
Or at least I hope so! Just imagine how much sea urchin spines, jellyfish and all the other stuff in the water would bug them otherwise! Not to mention all that sand!
June 17, 2012 at 12:48 am
Look they could care less about the cameras they just need to take up arms against the Zombie sea lion Apocalypse and no one would listen!
June 17, 2012 at 3:12 pm
It’s zombie sharks that’re the real danger. Why do you think the seals needed to take up arms in the first place?

Is there a shortage of editors in the world or something? Because I have no idea how those could have been put together.
In other news, the guys who did it got caught trying to cross the border with no passport and his real Alberta driver’s license while driving the truck that everyone was supposed to be on the look for.
June 17, 2012 at 7:33 pm
As my dad the ex cop always said: “Most criminals are dumb as dirt.”
June 18, 2012 at 12:01 am
Nowadays copy editors and even proofreaders are rarer than Hawaiian monk seals. Most newspapers have zero such employees with writers told “U rite it it gud yourselfs, kay”. So electronic news media — pfffft!.
Then again, old newspaper employees used to regale us with similar tales of the old days. A paste-up guy in the print shop was brushed off when he tried to report an error in an ad. “We don’t correct ads”, he was told. So the full 2-page ad was run as is with “HAWAIIAN SHIT SALE” across the top.
June 18, 2012 at 12:10 am
. . . Further proof is in someone actually using the supremely dumb quote noted by Matt in #20.
June 18, 2012 at 11:49 am
There is no shortage of editors in the world; if there were, we’d be getting paid better (at least, that’s what I learned from economics). There does, however, seem to be a shortage of DEMAND for editors. In other words, there are a lot of organizations that need editors and don’t realize it. (If the Internet and everything else suddenly makes sense now, you’re welcome).

OT, but are we doing tragicrafting this year? last September was a hoot compleat with crying glitter eagles and goatse 9/11 blingees. That would be fun to revive.
