Banned for life!

[Grapes]

That's right guys, it's time for another edition of..

Banned for Life!!

The following things have earned the distinction of being banned from existing, starting now and continuing on until the end of time or the end of life as we know it, whichever comes first.

Let's get this thing started..

Vehicles whose only purpose is to drive around aimlessly toting a giant billboard.. you're banned for life! Seriously, in this day and age of skyrocketing fuel costs, impending energy crises and extreme environmental trauma, you're going to tool around downtown all day in a big ugly truck all for the express purpose of telling me that there's a movie out called "300"?

Really? Thank god for you, intrepid billboard driver! I somehow managed to miss every one of the 300, make that 3000, ads on TV, online, during trailers preceeding other movies, etc etc etc.

Drive off the nearest bridge, and become a home for the fishies.

Britney and Paris: You're banned for life. The latter can stay in jail, the former can go back to the trailer park. We've squeezed every last bit of value from you, and you're no longer interesting, sexy, or unintentionally hilarious enough to warrant our collective attention. Beat it.

Lindsey, you can stay.. you've got several nihilistic self-implosions left you in yet, and they're going to be just EPIC.

PEOPLE WHO LINE UP FOR STEPHOS! You're banned! I'm not quite sure how one goes about banning a lineup of restaurant patrons, but there has to be a way.

What the FUCK is your deal?? Why are you in that line? Let's break this down in rational terms here.

Stephos is (and I think I'm being pretty generous here) a decent greek restaurant. They serve large portions of decent (generous!) food, at a very good price.

Now what in that previous paragraph would lead any sane individual to think "hey, this is a place that I should wait in a huge lineup for, even if it's pissing rain outside!"

Honestly, the food there is decent but nothing to write home about. There are about 500 other viable options for delicious, affordable ethnic cuisine ON DAVIE STREET ALONE, including at least a couple of other greek places. And besides all this, if you are truly craving Stephos, if you have some weird fixation and nothing else will do, you can PHONE AHEAD, wait 30 mins or so, walk past all the wankers in line, pickup your shit and walk out while everyone wonders why you're so special.

I've noticed a large portion of the stationary Stephos standees tend to look like they're from other countries. I'm convinced there's some lonely planet guide to Vancouver that states, in one of those little sidebar articles, that the Stephos lineup is THE place to be seen in Van city, rain or shine.

The lineup is banned, and whoever wrote that guide is banned too, unless they go along with my plan to divert the lineup of unsuspecting foreigners to Surrey.

Last, but certainly not least, I have to give a special post-mortem banning to the late Rev. Jerry Fallwell. Jerry, for blaming 9/11 on "gays and feminists", you are hereby banned from the afterlife.

May you spend the rest of eternity wandering aimlessly in limbo, going "OMG! WTF?!" You'll still be no more confused than you were back here on earth.

[cubed]

I'm glad you got Fallwell in there.

We'll take your fresh, limber, hopefully plumped foreigners as long as no one expects a phonecall...





mmmmmmmm tasty meat

[NinjaBoy]

YES GOD YES to the stefo's bit. Seriously, you are downtown, eat at some place that tastes good, rather then just filling your stomach with food, if you want that go down the street for all you can eat sushi, or pizza!

I did this tonight. It was only a 15min wait (at my house masturbating instead of waiting in line).

The thing about Stephos is that they serve the same tasty roast lamb that every other greek place has but their's is bigger and cheaper.

The only place I'll ever stand in line like that is Anton's or whatever it's called on Hastings en route to Burnaby.

[Sykonee]

This 'emo-trance' thing needs to be banned. Stat!

Epic trance was melodramatic enough. LAST thing it needs are over-emoting male singers cranking the melodrama to 11.:notrust:

I've never heard of that, but it sounds eminently bannable.

Using actual words might make more sense. Is Anton's now Stephos or are you saying they are equal?

[tiedye]

Have you banned Abba for life yet?

[BongMan]

she is saying they are equal

[tiedye]

Ah, well fuck her. It's delicious food.

Kid Carson and Nira Aurora on the Beat.

These two have got to be the biggest try-hard DJ's to ever hit the air. Kid Carson reminds me of the frat boy that never grew up, and is hanging on for dear life to this image, and Nira is the airhead that hangs on to him and giggles at all his lame jokes.

These two need to be banned for life.

[miss.myra]

ugh people who stand in line for stephos and take up the WHOLE FUCKING SIDEWALK are banned for life! right next to those people who gawk at me weird when I walk past their chumpface line styles to get takeout like any sane person would from there STOP FUCKING STARING AT ME FUCKFACE.

[tiedye]

People who stare at you as they drive past. BAN THEM.

Hey man I'm as up for devouring defenseless, innocent baby sheep as much as the next remorseless carnivore.

I don't like how it leaves a taste in my mouth afterwards though.. maybe that taste is a sensory manifestation of guilt :(

[Senior]

great list but I must admit to liking Stepho's. also that line up takes 5 or 10 minutes tops. cheap and tasty eats!

Tastes like Jesus.

[Guineveire]

ATSIARF SHOULD BE BANNED FOR LIFE.


:o

[Grapes]

Bad karma for banning something unintelligible in my thread.

[tiedye]

Dude. I don't joke about my hatred for Abba. It's rooted deep in the very core of my being.
