Monday, March 18, 2002 Happy St Patrick's Day for yesterday, Bloggerinos.
No doubt Guiness was consumed by the barrel, Baileys by the bottle and shamrocks by the field. And to all my little Leprechaun friends out there - may the luck of the Oirish be with you on yer travels.
And what next in the multi-media world of D.D.? Movies of course. As my avid followers will know I have already churned out several screenplays during bouts of insomnia and boozing. Check out my latest brainstorm Flash-loose.
It's 1986 and a hip young thing arrives in Jesusville, Bibleonia with a ghetto blaster and a head full of crazy ideas. However, the God-fearing community have banned 80's soft rock (Thank God!) and locked up their teenagers to keep them from the evil temptations of "sex and marijuana" - and now a rebellious youth from New York City turns up to plan an illegal Dirty Dance in town. His name?
FLASH LOOSE! A parody of FAME, FLASHDANCE, FOOTLOOSE and... what's that? F--- off?!

I have decided that I am putting together a band. It may or may not be called The Dennis Daigle Experience.
It could be called The Dennis Daigle Experiment.
Either way, I can play a harmonica like ringing a bell.
E-mail me if you've got the talent to join this sure-fire hit of a hit-machine: dennis@dennisdaigle.com Top of the Pops here I come...

Wednesday, March 06, 2002 What's the worst thing about Canada? The way they put that damn Maple leaf everywhere!!
O Canada!
Taco Bell, McDonalds, all of them - American companies that sneak under the radar that usually penalizes foreign companies because of their foreignness - denies them success because they are outsiders - by adding a token red leaf to their corporate logos. Thus invading the meal times of honest Canadian citizens everywhere (in Canada).
Obviously, these fast food chains are international, global. So, why Canadianize them? Fetishize them? Is it to get one up on the Yankees?
"Ha Ha - you know, your chain? Well, it's mine now." The exact same brand except the addition of a piece of pointy vegetation changes the whole identity. Ahhhh, Canadian Taco Bell.
What if the whole world did this? Tried to adopt the U.S. restaurants... etc.:- In Italy, a tiny Tower of Pisa in the corner of the logo. In Britain, a little picture of the Queen. And maybe in Afghanistan they would have a miniature Osama.
Bin Laden's image attached to the McDonald's Golden arches! Is that what they want?!
I don't think so.
Okay - now, to be fair, what is the best thing about Canada?
Snow... it rules.
Unless, there is a solitary Maple leaf resting on top of it....

March is here! And Dennis is still in Canada and he likes it so much "I'm gonna buy it!" Well, not quite. The Daiglemeister recently looked at Residence papers to stay longer in "that big cold place on top of America." All in the name of research of course!
Now consider these statistics: Immigrants to Canada tend to be better qualified than the average Canadian citizen with a better education. They are more likely to be University graduates too.
Now consider this: the forms to be filled in to stay in Canada are bloody hard! You do the maths. ;)
