Introducing the Repaint Search v2, now labeled as “good” by the authorities, bringing new Improved Qualitee™, and an almost working auto-suggest feature. [...]
Tales of Interest: Part II
[Majel Barrett]: Last time, on Star Trek: Voyager …*
No, wait, what? Damn remote! Woman, get me some new batteries!
When we left off in July of ‘07, Craig was being beaten by a group of bullies for losing his hard drive; Denis finally punched a customer, pow, right in the kisser, for mouthing off; and [...]
‘Twas a clear night in 1972’s Lagos. Mr. X sat on his favorite chair, smoking his favorite pipe, drinking his favorite beer, when suddenly he saw two shooting stars passing right over his head. A clear sign, of course. He knew immediately this was a religious sign. What else could it be? A premonition [...]
The Tale of the Desperate Foe
Some names have been changed to protect identities of the innocent.
Once upon a time, there was a man, so evil, even The Evil League of Evil wasn’t evil enough to have him ceremonially inducted as a prime member. For the purpose of this fairy tale, his name, from now on, shall be Theodore Dungeonmaster III.

Call me Daddy! Sugardaddy!
Parties, cheap women, cheaper wine, Ho-Downs, more women, fast cars, slow days, flying monkeys serving us drinks, and more of that delicious panda meat. From now on TFS is playing in the big league. Well, not the big league exactly. The middle league, maybe. Well, the minor league. Okay, admitted, we still operate in [...]
Chris Martin is a douche!
Some anonymous source handed us a secret copy of tomorrow’s edition of the Fructus Gazette. We won’t hesitate to share it with you.
Fructus Gazette
Although we know about the violent delicacy of this topic, according to our whistleblower the model in question can evidently be found on our Bombardier Dash8-300 page.
We’d like to explain ourselves
Prologue: just imagine John Madden doing a Frank Caliendo impersonation doing a John Madden impersonation.
Heads up! We’ve just created GOD! It’s an almighty, omnipotent, grey-bearded, some would say devine machine, watching over all of us – you, me, him, everybody! Except for him. That’s right, GOD doesn’t like him!
It can be found here and [...]
Canada’s second-biggest export
“Oooooooonce … moooooooore … we oooopen the doooooor…”
Stop your fracking singing, Craig!
Céline Dion may be the unwelcome leading product when it comes to spreading the Canadian feeling, but this bird sure makes a better sound. While sharing similar looks (except for the blades – the Dash uses six on each side, while Dion only carries [...]

As time passes, and we all grow older yet mostly less wise, you get to a certain point where you can’t help but thank all those people you’ve met on the road, who helped you with your projects and endeavors, who’ve tolerated your hideous vanity, who’ve grown accustomed to your quirks. So, we’ve put [...]
“Hey, where’ve you been?!” “Hey, whatcha doin’?” “Hey, wtf, why aren’t you posting anymore?! Where’s our free stuff?!” All those nice questions that we may or may not have gotten over the last four months can finally be laid to rest.

Unpopular things

This promiscuous little site now features a development timeline; but we’d rather call it ‘Tales of Interest’. So to speak, it features an entire ten-page essay on The Fruit Stand’s history, including a prologue, and of course excluding an epilogue. While we were not sure this might be too precarious information to give away, [...]
