punk'd
i'm pretty sure the readers of this blog are sick and tired of yellowknife stories and facts, but i have another one. what can i say, i'm at home and almost as bored as lisa.

here are the top 2 stolen street signs in yellowknife (and if i had a bit more jam and a little less ethics, i'd have one of each for my new apartment):
lois lane. ya know...like superman...tough crowd eh? eek! ok this one is better. i promise.
that's seriously the name of the street. the signs were stolen so often that the city fastened the street signs to the homes of everyone who lives on ragged ass road (now there are more signs to steal). legend has it that a small group of early yellowknifers were sitting around thinking of a name for their street, when one guy piped and said, "well we're ragged ass poor, lets call it ragged ass road". makes sense.

also, 100 dylan points goes to the individual who can name the canadian musician who named their album after ragged-ass road. WAIT! STOP! i know half of you already have G-O-O-G-L typed in your address bar. but if
you cheat you get -100 dylan points. guess if you have no idea. humor me.
