Sunglasses Rules

Cool, Douche, Edumacation, Funny 10 Comments »

HOW NOT TO BE A SUNGLASSES DOUCHE:

  • No sunglasses indoors. Take them off. Only exception here is if you’re in a sunroom, or a house made entirely of glass.
  • No sunglasses at night. Corey Hart is a douche, and you are too if you wear your sunglasses after sunset.
  • No sunglasses at bars, clubs or concerts. This is combining the “indoors” and “at night” rules for double-douchiness. You might think people will look at you and think, “how mysterious” or “that guy is cool.” Truthfully, people will be looking at you thinking “how douchey” or “that guy is re-goddamned-diculous!”
  • Men should not wear oversize sunglasses. (Women shouldn’t either, but that’s a bigger fight)
  • Men should not wear sunglasses with highly visible designer names or symbols. (ie. D&G, Chanel) It’s just lame and douchey.
  • Men should also avoid the lightly tinted J-Lo style glasses. Do I need to explain?

These are just a few tips to help you avoid being douchey. If you see a friend who needs to be told - tell them. It’s also perfectly acceptable to walk by someone wearing sunglasses indoors and saying loudly and sarcastically while shielding your eyes: “owww, my eyes! It’s so bright in here, I wish I had my sunglasses!”

As of now, there’s a new Nine Inch Nails album available completely free here. We’ve been playing one of the songs Discipline on X92.9 for the past couple of weeks. NIN will be through town at the Saddledome on July 29th. Enjoy!

On Thursday, Cheryl Wallach from the Calgary Humane Society brought by another pet up for adoption - as she does every week. This week she also brought along photographer Robin Kuniski, who’s done some work with X92.9 and works regularly for Metro. He took a whole bunch of shots, and lo and behold, Friday morning, I was on the cover of Metro sharing kisses with Chipper the Chihuahua mix. Here’s the shot:

Fred the Dog

freddog.jpgI love Fred. He came by the studio today, and he’s such a friendly, fun guy. He’s about a year old and will need someone willing to give him some obedience training. He looks pretty sad in the picture, but his tail is constantly wagging when he’s around people. You can see more about him and all sorts of nice pets at The Calgary Humane Society.

Sophie the dog

Cool, Pets No Comments »

Cheryl from The Calgary Humane Society stopped in today with a really cute, affectionate young girl named Sophie. Sophie is about 8 months old, is a little skittish around sudden noises or movement, but is quite affectionate and playful. You can find her along with all sorts of other animals of all shapes and sizes up for adoption through the Humane Society.
