Val Dodge's Profile
On May 1, 2008 3:30 PM in Schooled By Dubai Do, they said:

One of my lottery fantasies is to buy the naming rights to something and insist that it be called by its original name....

On April 30, 2008 4:44 PM in Saverist: Gas Relief, they said:

Yeah, because gas has gotten so much cheaper in the last five years. Mission accomplished indeed....

On April 21, 2008 1:42 PM in Enjoy Your Visit, But Not Too Much, they said:

It's the lame execution that makes it so uniquely Toronto; it's one of the few civic contests in which we really can beat all comers. ...

On April 21, 2008 11:14 AM in Ship Sinks On The Lower Don, they said:

The big life preserver, I get. The little ship, not so much. The legs on a stick are just creepy. Still, I'm all for anything that brings people to this lonely stretch of bicycle highway. Nothing dra...

On April 12, 2008 11:43 AM in Small Boxes Only in Leslieville, Please, they said:

You don't need a car to carry a 2x4; just toss it over your shoulder and walk. If you're buying too many 2x4s to carry, patronize a store that delivers. You also don't need two tonnes of metal and pla...

On April 11, 2008 3:16 PM in Small Boxes Only in Leslieville, Please, they said:

I posted on my blog last year about a supposed pedestrian-friendly Canadian Tire big box gone awry on the Danforth. Always be wary of artist's conceptions....

On March 29, 2008 3:44 PM in Musica Gratuitous, they said:

Jonathan, are you really endorsing the concept of allowing the private sector to levy taxes?...

On March 28, 2008 5:49 PM in The Artful Garager, they said:

The owner said that it's two or three years old. It looked virtually brand new to me so I think it's holding up pretty well....

On March 28, 2008 3:00 PM in Missin' the Bussin, they said:

Good work on the logos, Marc. But shouldn't the Bussin version say "Default name" and "Your business" instead of "Ttc" and "Subway"?...

On March 26, 2008 8:02 PM in Rob Ford Arrested and Charged in "Domestic Dispute", they said:

This cyclist's heart bleeds....

On March 26, 2008 1:42 PM in Cycling Uphill To The Summit, they said:

You can start with the mayor, your local councillor, and members of the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee....

On March 26, 2008 11:52 AM in Bell Puts The Squeeze On ISPs, they said:

I've been using TekSavvy for almost three years and have to say that it's been the most trouble-free ISP I've had since, well, ever. Bell deserves to fry if they press ahead with this stupidity. What...

On March 20, 2008 1:52 PM in Degraded Jarvis Street To Be Mildly Upgraded, they said:

Some cyclists have been saying for years that "it's not in the Bike Plan" would be wielded like a cudgel to prevent bike lanes from going onto a lot of streets. Too bad the city continues to live up t...

On March 18, 2008 3:30 PM in The WTF Files II: Sign, Sign Everywhere A Sign, they said:

I always thought "rainbow perm" was a sexual euphemism like "aromatherapy spa" or "German engineering."...

On March 17, 2008 2:29 PM in Call Before You Dig. This Means You, Rogers, they said:

Each organization only works with its members. DigLine will only take locate requests for Rogers cables and can't help you find Bell cables or Enbridge pipes. One Call does the same for virtually ever...

On March 17, 2008 11:19 AM in Call Before You Dig. This Means You, Rogers, they said:

Dude, DigLine doesn't dig, and didn't cut anything. They're the ones who paint lines on the ground to locate cables for homeowners or contractors who are about to dig. DigLine only locates Rogers cabl...

On March 15, 2008 12:48 PM in There's No Business Like Snow Business, they said:

Right you are, burnstoemerge; I've made the change in the article. I'm not sure what I was thinking; maybe I was secretly wishing it was CTV's Rod Black....

On March 11, 2008 12:27 PM in The Nelly Furtado Hour of Darkness, they said:

March in Australia (where the event originates) is like September here, so that explains the timing. If we're tagging along on their event, we accept their timing. I think it's more symbolic that peop...

On March 5, 2008 9:09 PM in Campaign Confidential: Frustrations, they said:

Strictly speaking, Chris is seeking to be that man's representative, not his overlord. Democracy is indeed in a sad state when we think of elections as granting someone power over us. No wonder so man...

On February 21, 2008 11:32 AM in Obay Unveiled, they said:

Then again, maybe enough parents will be irked just enough to not pay for their kids' university educations, forcing students to pay the bills themselves, and thus actually give a modicum of a shit ab...
