Zanta Says Merry Christmas

ZantaI nominate Zanta for 2006 word of the year. He should have been in the running anyway, but now that someone plastered his image on this billboard across from the Gladstone (Queen and Gladstone), I think he's sealed the deal.

I can't recall the last time a local figure has reached such cult-status in this city. Heck, even the stuffy Globe and Mail printed an article on Zanta this weekend.

Crazy stuff. Recently I saw him get on the bus without paying a fare, spent a couple of minutes looking through the discarded transfers on the floor. Of course he didn't find anything of use, so he got off without a fuss.

Zanta really does evoke the "yes yes yes" and "no no no" in everyone eh?

When I drove by today, Zanta was across the street bragging to a TTC driver about the billboard. He was fully clothed though (+ the Zanta hat).

OMG... ALL THE POWER TO HIM WHEN HE ACTUALLY GETS PAID FOR THIS SHIT! Stop replying with "yesyesyes" and reply with a loonie! Better yet a toonie, cause he's twice the loonie that most of us are!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!! MINUS the "yesyesyes"

pokerstars - Forget online poker, you will never ever win there and this game will give you just a bad mood in the end, ALWAYS! This online game is full of bots (programmed players – not real people), pokerstars is cheating, they know your cards, they give a tricky river and they steal your entire deposit! Do you really think that pokerstars is letting to play on their site with other players only? They have bots and Pokerstars grabs millions of dollars from players by cheating! PokerStars Sucks ass. These bastards think they are king dookie of the dunghill and it shows. They have an arrogant attitude toward their business partners because "We have two WSOP champions." Whoopty-shit. They treat their affiliates like garbage because they feel that they should not have to pay for players who are just dying to play there anyway. We might actually play at this damn site if their software would allow aces to hold up every now and then. We have seen aces drop to some of the most ridiculous long shots. http://fuckpokerstars.com/
