Nominees for the 2013 JUNO Awards were announced today. After consulting with my own Juno — who was not named after the awards, more on that here — we’ve decided to offer an alternative list of contenders, based on categories that are more meaningful to my 20-month-old daughter than “Contemporary Jazz Album of the Year.”
Which, and I say this with the highest degree of respect for the recording and performing artists nominated in that category, better mean NOTHING to ANYONE anyone responsible for any audio-outputting device near me.
“Jazz-Induced Object Smash Disorder” is slated for inclusion in the DSM V, largely thanks to my pioneering work in the field.
But enough about how I’m just not “smart” enough to “appreciate” a specific set of annoying noises. Onward!

I go more specific on your fan nominations: 1) The Dyson Airblade dryer and 2) the XLerator high speed dryer. (Although use caution with both if you’re a senior with papery thin skin.)
That said, #2 would have been voted in by the two tots in the Phoenix Zoo washroom who heard it…
Tot #1: “What is that?”
Tot #2: “I think it’s one of the alligators.”
Me, from my stall, roflmao.
AH HA HA! I love the Dyson. First saw it at a (restaurant industry!) trade show about five years ago and tried to sweet-talk the sales rep into selling me the floor model. I don’t even need a hand drier at home — it was just so dang cool.
This is hilarious….and so true.
So true. You know she’s been at Gramma Grampa’s when “mah-sha-loh! ga-ba-loh! mah-sha-loh! ga-ba-loh!” is a constant refrain …
