When you attend the Bloomsberg Fair...or any County Fair, for that matter, you must be aware that, no matter who you are--no matter what you're wearing...there will always be someone or something that looks like a big piece of shit jovially staring in your direction.

3


When these girls magically appear in the bar, you're instantly filled with a suspicious sense of satisfaction; and for some reason you stop asking your friends: "What the fuck was the $10 cover for?"

5


The epic nature shirt is a symbol that spans all of the Western world, and perhaps beyond (who knows?). Like when black people give one another a respectful nod when passing on the street as if to say "We're all in this together." It is a defining symbol of an unspoken bond that bridges the gap, in this case, between the rugged Wilderness Men and the culturally and socially fucking bewildered (above).

7


At what point do tits become 'indecent exposure?' For fuck's sake...there are children and shocked locals trying to swim, you fat bastard.

9


The homeless in Ottawa are a fascinating species. They seem to be anti-nomadic and survive mainly on the sickening generosity of the masses. They always seem to be well off, eating Gellatos and acting like they're your best friend. If you ever wondered where your giant polo shirts and khakis go when you out-douche them, look no further.

11


People who get dressed up as Star Wars characters are often pretty serious about it, but when the costume comes off, they get back to their normal lives. This is a man who would respond to the compliment: "Nice costume!" with..."What costume?" He would then proceed to bore you with all of the blue-print specifications of his home-made lightsaber replica. You give him a fake e-mail address and leg it out of there before he busts the iPhone out of his utility belt.

13


Have you ever heard the expression "Douche Chill?" If not, allow me to enlighten you. A Douche Chill is when you witness something so profoundly asinine and self-absorbed that you literally start to feel cold. Your little hairs on your arms, legs, and pubes stand on-end as if you're made of static electricity. But this doesn't quite make up for the feeling you get when you see these two girls' pictures on the news the next day.

15


Cryptozoology is essentially the study of creatures of which many have laid claim to their existence; however, they are yet to be scientifically proven. We've all seen the blurry, overexposed images of Yeti, Loch Ness, and other creatures proven to be elaborated hoaxes. But what if there were just some shred of truth to these claims? Who's really to say for sure that these mythical beasts don't exist anywhere? Imagine--for instance--that these megafauna cryptids do, in fact, exist...and that those who hunt them are simply searching in all the wrong places...

17


Cute girls are an outstanding variety. Their approachable nature sets them apart from "knock-you-on-your-ass" model-types, and their unassuming, perfect smiles can often lead your mind staggering in a drunken swirl back to that time you had a crush on the chick from Boy Meets World. At that point, you remember that when you drink, everyone's a celebrity.

19


You know that annoying blonde douche from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy? Well, if he had an estranged twin brother who--between picking smoking discarded cigarettes--told jokes for change in Ottawa, it'd be this guy.

21


The more drunks you cram into a picture, the greater the percentage that one will embarrass themselves, their friends, and their parents. It also drastically increases the likelihood of someone lowering their body just for cleavage's sake.

23


Bartenders, like DJs, give off that aura of charm, sophistication, and sexual dominance that drives the ladies crazy and gets the fellas so lost in their eyes that they go gay at unprecedented rates.

25


In the everlasting quest for costume originality, sometimes drastic measures must be taken. For once, 'I'M STAR WARS FAN' just isn't saying enough. You need an epic plan that levels the playing field--something that says, "I'm a toy collector, I live with my parents, and if you squint, you can see my package from across the room...oh, and I'm single."

27


I try to split up the guys and gals on DDD evenly; but it's about time to stop caring. Cos-play gals pimping alcohol is Geek Kryptonite. "Alcohol is the cause of the downfall of our great societ---well, hello there---yes, I'd love a Yackermeiffer."

29


Everyone knows that the best time to go costume shopping is after Halloween--discounts galore! But when you see this kind of shoddy merchandise before Halloween, you start to lose faith in the market. What the fuck are you supposed to do with a Charmeleon body suit exactly?

31


Obviously a happy couple. Her makeup catches the eye...her Fuck-Me cowboy boots catch just about everything else.

33


Members of the National Rifle Association fear that in an oppressive government, when the citizens no longer have the right to bear arms, they will be reduced to this--missing digital ducks on a ten inch monitor.

35


Playboy Bunnies and anthropomorphism in general have been a staple of sexuality for fucking ages...but once you've got Spock sternly looking on while you show off your bunny-tail...you start to feel pretty f-word-ing creepy for getting the least bit turned on.

37


Within the wide spectrum of human experience, there exists a moment when a man must make an important decision. "If I like this, I am a gay." For some men, the choice is simple. Others remain teetering precariously on the edge.

39


Bartenders deserve more credit than they ultimately receive. In what other profession does one have to memorize a wide variety of mixes and chemicals, be able to cater to dozens of people at once, measure perfect liquid doses, put up with your inane bullshit...while keeping your credit card neatly snuggled beside her insultingly ginormous tits?

41


Canadian fashion is not unlike that of the American Mid-West. City girls in the U.S. toss out a style and 6 months later, all the cool Ontario chicks are wearing it with pride.

43


If your first reaction to this is "This chick is the most awesome chick on Earth," consider for a moment how you felt after watching The Phantom Menace. Now imagine that same feeling following you through life, one day at a time.

45


While Christmas can occasionally come early, often what results in a gorgeously wrapped, but ultimately empty package.

47


In some circles, he is known as "The Ass-a-lope," half antelope, half annoying pretentious twat who pretends to be your buddy and then tries to impress your girlfriend with his "elven poetry."

49


Parents, you can't have it both ways. Either your children are super-geniuses and brighter than all your friends' children, or you've managed to convince them that these two Anti-Semites actually exist.

51


There's a special place in Heaven for Hipsters...but there aren't any cigarettes, headbands, plaid shirts, or PBR...so it's actually more like Hell.

53


It's no secret that we know more about how the human brain works now than ever before--but that's not enough. There needs to be a separate branch of psychology reserved just for those who hold Jedi Knighting ceremonies.

55


Remember back when your parents wouldn't let you go see those huge outdoor concerts because they remembered all the drugs huge outdoor concerts that they went to? Parents understand a lot more than you'd think.

57


Whoever said that guys are more competitive than gals needs his fucking head examined. It's a jungle out there, and if you're wearing my colors, I'll just show more flesh.

59


Not sure if this was at a "Garden of Eden" party or a PeTA demonstration, but either way--I think I'm a vegetarian.

61


At this point, you have to try to figure out if they're actually wearing the same outfit, or if your subconscious is just censoring parts of the image that would cause you to explode right out of your jeans.

63


It may seem harmless at the time, but eventually the quirkiness stops being cute and begins to turn your dreams into a nightmare hellscape.

65


Bartenders like this are like Disney World. It's fun, exciting, and you want to go on every ride--but as soon as you leave, the standard's been set too high and you're disappointed by reality.

67


In this crazy, health conscious, unfair world, it's rare for a man to be able to so freely discard his inhibitions and burst into a hot sweat during karaoke.

69


When did "The Mom Look" become so sexy? Does anyone else feel like they've stepped out of a time capsule into an era where awkward jackets and plaid fanny-packs make you harder than advanced trigonometry?

71


Fuck etiquette! The more impolite you are at the dinner table, the more guys want to bring you home.

73


PeTA talks a good game, but I doubt they've thought all of their platforms through. Please don't hug seals. They may look like cute water-dogs, but they will bite off your face.
 
2


When you're the "tall awkward" one out of your group of "friends," and your bestie is hooking up with a creeper, it's only natural that you go above and beyond the call of duty...a true testament to how a cum stain can be more attractive than cleavage.

4


There are subcultures that are still counting down to the day when sitting Indian-style on a festive rug with glasses and a goofy grin will be considered "punk rock.

6


Even though you're not allowed to bring beverages of an alcoholic nature onto the beach at the Jersey Shore, somehow, I think everyone's got you pretty much figured out.

8


When alcohol is involved, a passive "dare" tends to resonate as a "million dollar challenge." Even though there's nothing in it for you but prolonged periods of intense pain, it seems like the best idea you've ever heard. I'm sorry, did I say "alcohol?" I meant "camping."

10


Today's lesson is about the subtle differences between the way males and females pose for group pictures. Women tend to give a coy Mona Lisa smile or a toothy grin depending on how bored they are. Men will do whatever they can to get in that picture as if somehow it will make them famous. They yell, shout, flip the bird, anything they can do to stand out. And some men notice this primitive separation, so they grab the closest girl as if to say "Fuck that shit! You're coming with me!"

12


Often, and especially on the dance floor, girls run the risk of severely misinterpreting what guys want to see. The fantasy and the reality get skewed and you're left with the girls putting themselves in awkward positions. However, in Exhibit A, we have two cute interracial scenester girls dry humping in heels. Anyone complaining? Crickets.

14


In TV shows, movies, and those adorable puppy calendars, dogs that dress up like people are so adorable. We find ourselves wishing that we could have a dog like "that one in Men In Black." But when you actually see it in real life, the excitement factor goes way downhill. Its tiny, nappy face is screaming for help and it is rapidly shedding with fear. It's brutal master makes him do simple, demeaning tricks for chump change. It may look adorable in its little hat; but behind those comically under-sized sunglasses, it weeps for humanity.

16


You put all your money, time, and effort into pulling off a kick-ass Day Walker costume for the big Convention and your prick friend is suddenly too cool to be seen with you. Should you take a hint, or abruptly turn around and shout, "BROTHA--What the fuck are you even supposed to be?!" in his condescending face?

18


--Okay, what do I have to do?
--Just sit there and look at the camera.
--How should I act?
--It doesn't matter, as long as you don't go for your beer as I'm taking the--FUCK!

20


We spotted this melancholy robot at the Bloomsberg fair. It represented all of the downfalls of humanity like cigarettes, drugs, and homosexuality. I didn't know
that Tin-Men could be so homophobic, but I guess you get what you pay for when it comes to Redneck Christian Androids.

22


There is a certain stigma that goes with attending any kind of fan convention for outsiders. We are the ones whispering amongst ourselves: "Who the fuck is that supposed to be?" And then someone like this passes by in her fuzzy boots and torn rags like some kind of mythological school-girl sex symbol and we just stop giving a shit.

24


I partied so hard with this dude in Ottawa--one of those truly unbelievable nights that I will never remember. We learned a lot about Canadians that day; but more importantly--we learned a lot about how much alcohol we can handle before we're asked to leave the Strip Club.

26


Unlike their American counterparts who've spent their lives fighting for a cause while getting high, aging Canadian Hippies preach about unity and love from the comfort of an outdoor cafe--where they've only stopped to catch their breath between the 2-block struggle from the grocery store to their son's basement.

28


Why can't girls dress like this all the time? The only time you'll be lucky enough to witness this miracle is either at DragonCon or a club Halloween Party. And either way, she'll expect that you know who she's supposed to be. Maybe we shouldn't bring back the cape.

30


Remember when you first saw Who Framed Roger Rabbit? and you desperately prayed that Jessica Rabbit actually existed? Well, turns out the real thing is a bit of a disappointment; but, on the other hand, once you check out what creatures lie dormant in the background, you really start wondering what the fuck you were complaining about.

32


Hardcore Horror fans revel in the overly sexual nature of violence and gore. For all intensive purposes, there's really no difference between the beauty getting hacked and the one doing the hacking. This doesn't translate well to the real world. Pitching a tent over a gal with a caved skull only proves that you'd fuck anything living or dead.

34


Before tattoos became so commonplace, they were used as status symbols, marks of pride/devotion, or simply to attract a mate. These days, their only use is to prove to members of the opposite sex that you're a "fun" chick who can stand a couple hours of unnecessary pain.

36


There's a level below "rock bottom" which mainly consists of you taking down your own banner after a slow Convention day, shouting at two youngsters about how you could've kicked Shatner's bald fat ass.

38


If Superheroes truly walked amongst us, in our normal, every day life, some would think it would be the most awesome experience ever. Others, would see it for the tragedy it truly is.

40


Wherever a group of college girls gather, a male periscope emerges in the background, assesses the situation, and determines they're not drunk enough to ride.

42


Creepy older men should could learn something here. Dress up like some weird chick's fantasy and make them follow you wherever you go. They will. Because they're fucking followers.

44


It often escapes me where the disconnect lies between Professional Wrestling and pure whimsical homoerotic cosplay. I suppose no one will ever know.

46


Being mentally unstable is a full time job. It's difficult and tedious work making the effort to proudly flaunt that you were put on this earth solely to make everyone else miserable. Sometimes you just need a break--so, thank christ for bumper stickers.

48


If Earth's inhabitants are ever able to travel to other civilized planets, we'd only be disappointed; wandering around depressed and fat, thinking: "They don't have cars or McDonald's. This place is for fags."

50


Christmas only comes once-a-year, but dad only goes butt-fuck insane once.

52


Despite all of the technological advances, exotic food, efficient work force, and nifty massage parlors, it still took Asian chicks far too long to discover the "Ugly Friend" method of scoring dudes.

54


These chicks are standard-erasers. Oh, you just finished a fist-banging, coke-snortin', vomit party in the bathroom? Sweet. Rock on, ladies. I'll be here all night!

56


In the future, either we'll all be nocturnal cave-dwellers, or chicks will be so over feigning interest in our bullshit that they'll become asexual. A society of sexual ambiguity.

58

I don't want to defend your mom's boyfriend when he calls you a "fag," but your jacket crosses that "pussy-repelling" line in the sand that will inevitably end with you spending most of your time with the Boy Wonder...

60


The amount of effort that goes into an act of vandalism such as this is absolutely unparalleled--but next time, maybe it should be attempted by someone with English as a first language.

62


If this is the Apocalypse, count me the fuck in. Let's just hope that Med-Kit is full of nothing but Baby Oil.

64


Either this is the traditional Chinese method of issuing an Amber Alert, or everyone is completely ignoring what's going on behind the puppet.

66


I'm not sure what upsets me more: that I'm not tied up in her golden lasso, or that the dude behind her is blissfully una-fucking-ware that his biggest fantasy has materialized right behind his back.

68


Many people didn't know that Comic/Video game expos have a large area in the center to fucking sleep. I assume it's difficult to be on your feet for upwards of 2 hours when your hobby involves constantly slouching or lying down.

70


The idea that the wet-dream-inspiring celebrity sex symbols of our youths have become the transvestite icons of our adulthood confuses and disorients my penis.

72


If broads actually dressed like this in the 50's, the Fonz would've been able to start the jukebox with his cock.

74


Dance Dance Revolution is drastically hurting our chances for Government Funded Health Care. The more people play it, the more funding needs to be provided to both Seizure Clinics and The Center for Pseudo-Athletic Achievement.
