I didn’t win the Blue Jays charity 50/50 draw today, but I still feel like a winner. I haven’t been to any of the games this weekend, but I was able to enter the draw because they’ve started selling tickets online. I love buying in when I’m there (no, I’ve never won), so this is …

Dear Blue Jays Advertising Department:
I don’t want anything hitting a beefy nutritiony home run in my mouth, especially not something with jack in its name. I’m sure Jack Link’s is a fine product, but I nearly chucked when I heard that ad just now. You’ve unleashed some rather off-putting commercials in the past, but this is by far your …
I Almost Feel Sorry For Amy Fee. I Don’t, But I almost Do
I don’t know a lot about what Amy Fee did in her life before politics, but if these are her defending skills I sure hope it didn’t involve lawyering. Thrown to the wolves by her bosses in the Ford government and ordered to defend its autism plan, she, or someone pulling the strings, came up …

Gambling, Drug Running…Is This Guy Good AT Anything?
If you’re going to transport a big ‘ol bag of drugs across Canada, maybe don’t listen to your buddy’s GPS when it tells you to unnecessarily cross the border into the United States. But if you are going to listen to it because it promises to save you some time, at least make sure everyone …

Concerts, Dentists And The Damn Website
A few things as I sip on some tea that I’ve just realized I absent-mindedly put sugar in twice. Fuck. I keep forgetting to mention it, but if for a couple of days last week you tried to leave a comment and couldn’t, feel free to try again. I didn’t notice a problem at first …
When Will It End?
I’m glad Gill wrote this, because it’s given me the push to post a couple things that I’ve been meaning to post for a while. First, a song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJ-W0378pbc And next, this essay that really scrambled up my brain as it’s intended to do. When I found it, all that was written was below the …
How Is This Legal?
I’m not even talking about with the benefit of hindsight here. Shouldn’t anyone worth a shit at anything realize that allowing manufacturers to make safety into a profitable luxury would lead to cheap ass airlines skimping on it and it wouldn’t end well? Safety isn’t a nice to have, you fucking criminals. It’s the most …
