That's the Way I Troll

Perhaps I should preface this post by saying that for the record that I am not in fact a troll. That being said, I spend more than my fair share of time on the internet and have seen lots of them around. The sad truth is that there are some individuals out there who don't just enjoy winding up people on this web of ours - it's their chosen way of life! Using every known disruptive trick in the book, these troublesome types don't go out to the pub, meet members of the opposite sex or enjoy life. These basement dwellers’ sole purpose in life is to agitate, exasperate and irritate the rest of us. They spend their time hunched over their computers trolling. For those not familiar with this term, perhaps I should explain.

The object of this post is to define what exactly a troll is, and perhaps give you the tools needed to become a successful one – should you choose. So, let’s start at the beginning: What is a troll?

I have not posted in a while, so I thought I should just sit down and start typing like I used to do ... wait ... need a beer - be right back ... that's better. Okay, that's better. Now what to talk about?

How about me for starters? It is my favourite subject. Not too worry -- if you keep reading I promise it will get more interesting next paragraph. Truth is I'm busy. Happy and productive, but really busy. I of course work full-time, attend school part-time (currently finishing my BA in English) and of course maintain a couple of websites. This one here of course as well as my Canadian contest directory, which I can tell you has taken WAY more time that I would have dreamed and is more then a little to blame for my lack of posts here. On top of which I'm actually starting a third website, which will actually simply be selling a (somewhat) new product.

Yes, yes - I'm well aware that the Vancouver 2010 Olympics are only 3 weeks away! The question that everyone of course is asking is, "Will you and Mrs. C be ready?!"

The answer of course is not that simple. I mean, being athletes first we've trained out entire lives for this, but nerves and other external factors of course mean that doubt seeps in. I guess you'll just have to judge for yourself. We have of course been videotaping all of our performances as of late - you know, to look for small slips or errors of any sort. I don't expect your untrained eyes to be able to see them of course but the Mrs. & I are our own worst critics and we watch for hours just gnashing our teeth and sobbing in horror. Anyway, I present a short video of our latest program which took place just last weekend. To be honest (and not that humble I'm afraid), we think it went fairly well. Judge for yourself:
