Look At This Instagram
This one goes out to all my pals on Twitter who feel the need to Instagram the living shit out of everything. In other words, hi most of you, how’s it goin’? It’s sung to the tune of Nickelback’s Photograph, so that song turned out to be good for something after all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nn-dD-QKYN4 This reminds …
Roll On, Stompin’ Tom
It’s hard to put into words exactly how much of a legend Stompin’ Tom Connors is. It’s also hard to explain how much he meant not just to Canadian music, but to Canada itself. Think of something Canadian. Whatever crossed your mind just now, Stompin’ Tom probably wrote a song about it at some point. …
Things You Didn’t Know You Wanted To Know: What Type Of Electric Shock Hurts More
Time for a little early morning science. If you’re anything like me, well, first of all I’m sorry, but more importantly for our purposes at the moment, you’re probably too busy yelling things like “Ahh son of a whore!” when you manage to give yourself a shock to wonder if AC or DC electricity hurts …

Bacon Flavoured Jello. Well, There Goes Dinner

If Only Something Could Have Calmed Him Down
Darren Baldwin had a job. I say had, because for some reason he lost it. And when I say he lost it, I mean the job *and* his mind. After being given his walking papers, Baldwin promptly responded by punching his now former manager in the face. He then grabbed a couple of knives and …

The Hitchhiker’s Guide To Getting Arrested
For several reasons, hitchhiking is a very popular mode of transportation for those who find themselves on the run. But handy as it is for covering long distances undetected, there’s also a lot of room for the undetected part to go completely out the window. This is especially true when the mighty and mysterious hand …

Come See Me Today For A Dan Good Keel
Well damn it all…or maybe I should say Dan it all. Before I left for CSUN, Steve’s sister said that she heard that Dan of Dan’s Discount Windows and Doors died suddenly. For anyone not close to here, that wouldn’t mean a whole lot. But he has a huge warehouse that sells…well…windows and doors, and …
The Best Deathmatch Ever
For the longest time I’ve been hearing about something called Inter Species Wrestling, but until this morning I had never seen it. Now that I have, I must say I approve. Well, I approve of this Fans Bring the Lego, winner eats the loser deathmatch between Moohammad the Terrorist Cow and Flip D. Berger, at …
