Norm Fisher: One on one with RE Revealed in a Bubble Gum Interview

Woman sentenced to…Saskatoon

I really got a chuckle out of this story and couldn’t resist sharing it. It seems that a British Columbia woman has been sentenced to serve two years of probation in Saskatoon after she pleaded guilty to seven counts each of credit card fraud and possessing stolen credit card data, one count of theft under [...]

Strange Saskatchewan Diversions: U-Pick a….Cow?

Is it just me, or is this just a really strange idea? Saskatchewan cattle farmer, Ivan Allin has launched a new business venture called U-Pick Steak Farm, which is supposed to address consumer concerns about the quality and safety of the food that they’re eating. The Saskatoon Sun quotes Mr. Allin as saying, “The idea [...]

A note for Angela – a Saskatoon home buyer

I was browsing a blog I frequent when I came across a reference to a post that appeared on MySpace.com from a 25 year old Saskatoon woman who just purchased her first home. I was moved by her excitement and very much wanted to leave her a message. However, it seems that I need a [...]

River Landing penis no big deal

Everyone’s talking about it, but apparently nobody is complaining about local artist Doug Taylor’s snow sculpture of a pair of magic mushrooms, one of which has a stem shaped like a penis.
