Not sure what to make of this one. Charly, or Chuck as he/she’s been calling him/herself called in today to say he/she’s given up on trying to hang out with me. Will he/she really walk off into the sunset? Time will tell.  Here’s the audio:

Lynch is growing a sad excuse for a ’stache, so I thought I’d repost the moustache rules:

These are simple rules, with very few exceptions. The mullet hair cut is never cool, not even in an ironic way. The only exception is for hockey players, like Ryan Smyth of the Oil, who have had it for years. Like mandatory helmets, he’s grandfathered in this case. As for moustaches, if you’re under 40 years of age, you shouldn’t have one. They are ridiculous. Exceptions: Cops, gay guys, and guys in bands with super-ironic handlebar or fu manchu styles. I don’t know why cops often have moustaches, but you can’t fight tradition. The moustache seems to play a part in gay culture, and that’s cool too. The worst moustaches are those guys with young or babyfaces who grow a moustache cause they think it makes them look more mature. No. It makes you look more ridiculous.

Cheryl from The Calgary Humane Society stopped in today with a really cute, affectionate young girl named Sophie. Sophie is about 8 months old, is a little skittish around sudden noises or movement, but is quite affectionate and playful. You can find her along with all sorts of other animals of all shapes and sizes up for adoption through the Humane Society.

“Charly” called again and “he” tried to convince me to hang out with “him” on St. Patrick’s Day, which is over a month away. Here’s the call:

We had a discussion about torture on the show today. I don’t believe torture is effective or neccesary…especially waterboarding. An article by Darius Rejali (author of the book Torture and Democracy ) sums up these 5 Myths:

1 - Torture worked for the Gestapo
2 - Everyone talks sooner or later under torture
3 - People will say anything under torture
4 - Most people can tell when someone is lying under torture
5 - You can train people to resist torture

Spoke by phone with Paul Garred from The Kooks about the forthcoming new album Konk. Here’s how it sounded:

Kooks Interview

I was talking to a girl last night, and she told me she was headed out to a pub with a guy. She said it wasn’t a date, and that she was single. Now here’s where it gets interesting. The guy had sent her a dozen red roses at work that day, and she sleeps with him regularly. Why? Well, apparently he does quite well for himself, buys lots of stuff for her and treats her well. I’m guessing he thinks they are in a relationship. She’s early twenties, he’s mid thirties. Basically she’s sleeping with this guy for the monetary perks. Is she a prostitute/escort? Does it matter if the guy doesn’t know her side of things?

I’ve put a poll over to the right —> 

Calgary is a lonely city for a single guy, but sometimes, strtange women will call you out of the blue - I call these women Telemarketers. Recently I received two calls from different ends of the age spectrum. Listen:
