Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
I just read about the death of one of those largely unfamiliar people who should probably be a household name. His name is Roger Mayer and without him, TV, movies, the internet and I’d even suggest our understanding of history to an extent would be a lot different than it is and not in a …

You almost have to give Jose Espinoza here some creativity points. Sensing that the police were on to the stolen car he had parked near his home and likely either knew who he was or were close to finding out, Espinoza did what most people would do. He ran. And though you can argue the …

I really really really really really wish that somebody could describe for me the exact window that Mark Pollock fell out of, because I still can’t work out in my brain how a fully grown adult (even a blind one such as himself) manages that under normal circumstances without being wasted as hell times 14. …

And now, your don’t even bother trying to figure this one out story of the day. Thank you, Florida. Cops in Tallahassee, Florida say that on Wednesday, Jared Simpson, 24, visited the 4th Quarter Bar & Grill and rung up a $10 tab. When it came time to pay up, Simpson allegedly tried to get …
Just a few quick ones I found in the email. *A husband goes up to a wishing well, throws in a penny … ploop! … nothing happens. Then his wife takes out a penny. She walks up, trips ass over head, falls into the wishing well and drowns. I’ll be damned,” he says. “It works!” …

Unless something suddenly changes in the next few minutes, at 2 this afternoon Kitchener, Waterloo, Guelph, Hamilton and London will officially have Uber. Predictably because this seems to happen everywhere it goes, its arrival has local taxi people and some politicians all upset. I get that part of the issue is safety and that is …
Well how about that. For once some good news coverage for a person I know. And even better, it’s somebody who once showed up in the shitty column. Before she was sentenced, Samantha Scott turned to a high-ranking Woodstock police officer, soon to become a London deputy chief, Daryl Longworth. She had a few choice …

Even though some of them aren’t on a bus route, are goddamn impossible to navigate independently when you’re blind or both, we’re pretty lucky around here as far as farmers markets go. And now it appears we’re getting one more. I hope the selection there is good, because the location sounds awfully convenient. I’m looking …

The inbox is gold today. Here’s another one I used to love telling when I was a kid. Thanks for actually encouraging this side of me, mom and dad. A young couple arrived at the hotel where they were spending the first night of their honeymoon. They opened the champagne and began undressing, as couples …
