Quick housekeeping note

Thursday, December 18th, 2008

Been busy. Hope to post more soon, but in the meantime here’s a quick summary of current events ’round here: Lord Edmund Bryll has finally been allowed back into the bedroom. Or, as he put it in an excruciatingly long e-mail to me: “I find myself in the altogether pleasant, not to say triumphant, position [...]

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

by Lord Edmund Bryll, inventor of Brylcreem I wander’d through the richly appointed halls As if in some vibrant, not to say lucid, dream She’s frigid as a brass monkey’s balls Yet I hold her in most high esteem To my place of banishment I reluctantly go Handsomely decorated though it may be For my [...]

On the medicinal properties of the leaf of the much maligned cannabis plant, and its therapeutic uses through a variety of delivery modalities

Saturday, November 22nd, 2008

by Lord Edmund Bryll, inventor of Brylcreem Have I recounted for you, my faithful readership, the fascinating and thoroughly perplexing tale of the rather painful, not to say agonizing, consequences of my altogether befuddling recent banishment to the sitting room, and the ensuing interaction with the medical community with which I was subsequently saddled, though [...]

by Lord Edmund Bryll, inventor of Brylcreem Yes, well, hrm. Hmm… YES! Quite so! An altogether most erudite, not to say spot-on, um, yes, ey wot. Where was I? Right! Immigrants! Fucking fishmongering fuck fishers! I find myshelf agreeing with… um… in agreement with… someone of great intelligences… Right! Hrm, hmm, yes! Altogether spot on! [...]

I find myself, much to my considerable surprise, in the so-called “doghouse” with my dearest harpy of a spouse

Thursday, November 6th, 2008

by Lord Edmund Bryll, inventor of Brylcreem It would appear, to all but the most recalcitrant and altogether unserious observers, that I have run afoul of one of the multitudinous unwritten rules of marital circumstance, being as I am now, and for what I judge to be a few days henceforth, barred, not to say [...]

As regards my previous thoughts, interrupted as you recall so as I could attend to affairs of an altogether personal, not to say euphemistic, manner

Saturday, November 1st, 2008

by Lord Edmund Bryll, inventor of Brylcreem Yes, now, where was I? Oh right, yes, of course. You see, to the extent that, indeed, my remarks could be misconstrued by the cretinous as having vaguely slanderous overtones, one must remember that the Monseigneur most certainly brought it upon himself, and my words in no way [...]

Toward an understanding, a synthesis as it were, of the various theories in and around the sundry topics of fame

by Lord Edmund Bryll, inventor of Brylcreem As one who is held, and quite rightly, if I am to be entirely honest and forthcoming, to a higher standard than the common man, as a natural consequence of my eminence bestowed upon me both by noble birth and also through my altogether extraordinary adventures vis a [...]

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

Anybody know the difference? I’d ask Lord Edmund Bryll, since surely he’d know if anybody did, but…

Something for everyone (except you, Bryll. Stop calling me)

Sunday, October 12th, 2008

I’ll be attending the season opener for the Oilers tonight, which will be the fourth consecutive home opener I’ve been to. In previous years, we got a free “rally towel” with the Oilers logo and the logo of some random sponsor (the Journal, Scotiabank, Crazy Wojtek’s Perogy Hut), and last year’s had a random player [...]

Monday, October 6th, 2008

  Moderator: Welcome back to part two of the debate. Let’s get right to the questions. What is your solution to the problem of nuclear proliferation, especially among so-called rogue states? Lord Bryll, your answer? Lord Edmund Bryll: Right, quite right, yes. Now, unlike my esteemed competitor here, which admittedly is a particularly low threshold [...]
