Who needs proof?:<\/b> In our January 25, 1999 issue, writer Jason Loxton attempted to debunk the Loch Ness Monster in what I would call a sloppy argument. Loxton claimed that because there isn\u2019t cold hard proof of a large prehistoric monster living in the depths of Loch Ness it simply doesn\u2019t exist. Well, well, well, Loxton is forcing me, the student, to become the teacher. What if ol\u2019 Nessy doesn\u2019t want to be seen by humans, Loxton? What if we are so disgusting and dirty as a species that the prehistoric fish decided to opt out and chill at the bottom of a lake for eternity? I know if I had the choice, I would follow suit.<\/p>\n

Bean there:<\/b> Have you ever wanted to dress and speak like you were from the pre-17th century, and then go to a feast where a bean is hidden in a piece of cake and the person who finds the bean in their cake will be crowned a new royal personage? I know I sure do. This was the case for a lucky group of people as part of the Society For Creative Anachronism. On January 16, 1999 the group of medieval enthusiasts held a Feast of Fools at St. Dunstan\u2019s Church in Gordon Head. The winner of the cake bean was her Royal Foolishness, Lady Rosamund Killpatrick of the House Byob. After doing some extensive Googling I\u2019ve discovered that this group appears to be a worldwide organization, with branches all across Canada. You may now refer to me as her Lady Editorial Mommy of House Nexus<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Happy Valentine\u2019s day?:<\/b> In a column called Wendi\u2019s World<\/i>, writer Wendi Davies prematurely welcomed Valentine\u2019s Day by examining her lack of a love life. She began by explaining an embarrassing situation where she invited her friend to a movie on Valentine\u2019s Day. Her friend responded by asking her if she was stupid for considering leaving the house as a single person on the patron saint\u2019s day. How the world has changed. I feel bad for Davies; I wish she was a college student now so she could experience Galentine\u2019s Day or the pure joy of being single without societal pressure\u00a0 <\/span>(I\u2019m looking at you, mom and dad).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
