A few years ago, we received a junk fax at work. The fax had a hand drawn native with the words "The Ultimate Tax Shelter - Indian Adoption program."

Hockey Night in Canada is having an anthem contest. Naturally this is a story about the Le Grand Orange and the Infinite Monkey Theorem.

While attending a giant dog festival called Woofstock, I saw a woman wearing a t-shirt. On the left was a cartoon canoe and on the right was a cartoon dog. Underneath were the words "roll over".

After watching the Dutch Liberation ceremonies in 2005, I knew Suzy would visit the Netherlands. Initially, Suzy makes a speech criticizng Canada for not sending any MP - including the Prime Minister (Martin was a no show) but I used the speech idea for the Vimy story.

The sign board lady is based on a man I saw at the Rememberance Day ceremonies in Ottawa. He was looking for veterans who knew his father.

This story also explains why it took six months for me to post a 2008 Suzy story.

The government announced a "No Call List" where people could call to have their phone number removed from telemarketing lists.

I thought it would be funny if, while on hold to register for the list, they are forced to listen to a sales pitch.

Like you, i was shocked when the Beijing Olympics chose to replace the talented little singer (photo to your left) with a lip snyching (but cuter) little girl.

I was also shocked as to frequency of the media referring to the original little girl as "ugly".

If you google "olympics ugly girl" the top four images display the original singer. For shame google. For shame.

I read an article about fishing derbys. The article explained that at some derbys, the winning fishermen were required to take a lie detector test.

This is the introduction of Montague Wigglesworth. I thought it would be funny to have a character say the word "goose" instead of a swear word.

In the spring, the Toronto Police gunned down a loose cow in the west end. The newspaper article in the Toronto Star was quite humourous.

As i read the article, i knew it was going to be a Suzy story.
