It's An Hono(u)r Just To Be Nominated
Dec. 23rd, 2003 06:26 pmI didn't even think I was eligible, but I just got a little plug (along with birthday boy Gamma Fodder) from "Accordion Guy" Joey DeVilla as part of the Carnival of Canucks, a roving roundup of interesting Canadian weblogs.
Joey and I go back a bit, though I haven't seen him in years and years. Even prior to my enrollment at Crazy Go Nuts University, I was learning how to draw cartoons by copying his ingenious work in the campus humo(u)r paper—my older sister would bring issues home for me. Happily, Joey (or Gooey, as we knew him then) obliged me by sticking around CGNU for several years without graduating, long enough for me to go there, meet him, get to know him, and even become editor of the paper in question. Now my weblog can ride on his coattails too. Maybe I should take up the accordion.
Anyway, I expect Joey dropped my name primarily as an excuse to mention his new patootie, who I guess is here at Harvard (not generally mistaken for Crazy Go Nuts University). Nevertheless I will rise to the occasion by offering links to some of my own vintage Canadian Content: Here's the Strange Secret History Of Flin Flon, Manitoba (part one), and here are four alternate histories of Canada: one with zombies, one with aliens, one where Trudeau has lots of sex (ok, so that's not really all that "alternate"), and one where Don Cherry becomes supreme dictator of the world. And if all this doesn't prove my CanCon bona fides, check out www.robmacdougall.com (which is my name, see, although alas that isn't actually my site). You don't get much more Canadian than that, me boy.
