    Insider Report Volume #2 Issue #27

    August 20, 2007:
    Yea, let the earth tremble one more time....
    1. Feedback from last week's edition - "Re: Point #2  Let's be fair....when was the last time Paul had a single screw?" - Kimberly Robinson.
    2. In a somewhat related story, Kimberly sends a link to an article on the "office boob" and indicates that Paul will disagree with all the points mentioned in the article.  An interesting start to the week.
    3. The new urban phenomenon of women "forgetting" their wallets for lunch continues, as the Insider picks up yet another lunch tab.
    4. Memo to all cops - if the City of Toronto is really that short of revenue, bust cyclists who ride the wrong way down one way streets, or drive straight through red lights.
    5. The Insider finds it highly interesting that the Urban Challenge for the National Office was won by the team with two members of the Social Committee on it, including the primary organizer.  (National Office Team Captain is sure to vehemently deny any allegations...).  At least Muffin knew enough to not have her team finish in the top 3.
    6. In a follow-up story, only a few people are found to be limping or call in "sick" the day after the National Office Urban Jungle day.
    7. Just because there's not enough Idol competitions in the world, the Outcast decides to enter Toby in the Winnipeg Canine Idol.
    8. The slight dip on the TSX has some people quickly performing a forensic audit on their paper losses.
    9. Quote of the week - "I'll have to call you back" - Kimberly Robinson.  (I'll let Trina guess what the Insider's follow-up comment should be).
    10. The way that some people recover from being nauseous and tired all day (which includes a debate on going home early) - go to the Dragon Boat team practice (which includes sitting in stale, smelly water for almost an hour), followed by a trek halfway across the city to play basketball.  The Insider continues to be dumbfounded by female Edmontonian logic.
    11. The first request for a souvenir from the Asian leg of the World Tour - shampoo.  The Insider continues to be dumbfounded by female Armenian logic. (or is that Albanian?)
    12. If you want to lose the basketball playoffs, it best to have your 6' 10" starting centre break his foot the night before the game.  The Insider continues to be dumbfounded by female Edmontonian logic.
    13. The Outcast starts leaving cryptic Facebook messages for Paul - something about mangos, and then something about bed time.  The Insider continues to be dumbfounded by female Toban logic (or is the Saskatchewanian logic)?  Note to the Outcast - stating cryptic messages with double meanings that nobody understands should only be performed by professionals.
    14. The Insider dreads the reaction when the Outcast finds out that the Insider apparently knows the VP - Finance for the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, California.
    15. It should quickly be determined if anyone notices the latest Un-Extreme Makeover, as the Insider goes back to being diabolical.
