Scramble at Young and Bloor…

Filed under: Noisiness. — Nikki @ 4:26 pm

If you’ve been to Yonge and Dundas in the last few days you may have noticed that a new set of street light signals have been installed that face out into the middle of the intersection. Once the hoods are lifted in late August, these signals will be directing pedestrians across Toronto’s first “scramble” intersection.

Below is the famous Tokyo scramble intersection at Shibuya.

They say being a good dancer will get you more chicks….but DDR impresses chicks even more than dancing.

6 Ageing Rockers who look a lot like Grandma.

 6. Ron Wood - The Rolling Stones
You could probably put every one of the Stones on this list, but Ronny tends to get off easy because he’s always standing next to Keith “walking corpse” Richards and Mick “walking pair of wrinkled lips and other wrinkled stuff” Jagger.

 5. Phil Spector - Producer/(alleged) murderer
A little advice for Mr. Spector: If you’re going to wear a wig to your court appearance, don’t steal it from Estelle Getty.

 4. Alice Cooper
When you’re an 18-year old rock and roll star, you need a bit of makeup to add those sinister dark circles around your eyes. When you’re a 60-year old recovering alcoholic with stringy hair who plays in Pro-Am golf tournaments all day long, those circles are there whether you put on makeup or not.

 3. Roger Daltrey - The Who
In 1965 Roger Daltrey sang, “I hope I die before I get old.” He did not.

 2. Tom Keifer - Cinderella
While this guy’s looks alone could land him in a “Musicians Who Look Like Old Ladies” list, it’s the fact that he is STILL clinging to the 1980s hair metal look that pushed him up this high on the list. If there’s one thing my grandmother shared with bands like Cinderella, Poison and Ratt, it was a love of long flowing scarves, oversized glasses and weirdly-shaped hair.

1. Simon Phillips - Toto (he was the drummer)
I didn’t think you could just waltz into any hair salon and just ask for “The Grandma.” But apparently when you’re the drummer for Toto, the rules don’t apply to you.

A Harrisonburg, VA school system thought it was a good idea to put photos of their school lunches on their website. But what they didn’t realize is that the food they were taking pictures of was a collection of the most unappetizing piles of garbage you wouldn’t feed to a dying hamster.

And for some reason, they decided to give each dish a name (sometimes it would be an “extreme” name like “Chicken Fryz”) and put the dish’s abbreviation in the upper corner of each photo. I guess this is so you can print these out, put them in alphabetical order and reminisce about the time you once ate a CSS and lived.

I used to make this dish all the time when I was younger except I called it “cut up white bread”.

 David Hayes holds the state record-breaking channel catfish while his granddaughter Alyssa, 3, holds the Barbie fishing rod that he used to reel in the fish. It weighed 21 pounds, 1 ounce, and was 32 inches long and 22 1/2 inches around.
