When Rogers Ignite changed their slogan to…this, we couldn’t figure out what it was saying. Was it we give Mike a mop? We can like Mark? We can go to Mars? We can make a month? We can make a monk? Guaca macca mole? We can make a march? We eventually settled on “We can …

You…Are Yogurt!
I’m starting to wonder if I’m losing the part of me that responds to the warm fuzzies that some commercials try to generate. Take this YOP ad for example. Granted, the version I keep seeing just starts with the group of four young people saying “If you want to build a better world, …” and …
Red Hot Eeewww!
Somebody commented on Gill’s misheard lyrics and that got me thinking of another one. I was a strange, twisted kid sometimes. Not only did I misunderstand lyrics of songs, the ones I came up with were…just…gross or something. Take this one. “The last of the red hot fools”. The name should have been enough to …
A Mass Of Mask Info
Since masks are a new part of our lives when we want to go to a store or hang out in an office or whatever, I thought maybe it would be good to post a few helpful videos about them. First, since you run the risk of making yourself sick if you don’t do things …
If Alexa or Google Gives You Some Bad Info Now and Then, Don’t Be Surprised

Wow, They Took His House?

Your Name Stinks
Somebody must have had this thought already, but I just had it now, so… Why is deodorant called deodorant and not reodorant? Decluttering makes sense. It turns a space from messy to clean. De-worming makes sense. It removes parasites from people and animals. Deforestation makes sense. It turns a forest into not a forest. But …
Poor Guy
I’m attracted to women of colour, but I can’t date them. Apparently my wife is a racist.
How In the World Do You Shop Online For Clothes?
I’m not just asking for the benefit of blind people like me, I really want to know how someone does it in general without it becoming an enormous pain in the ass. To be clear, I’m not talking about buying things like funny t-shirts or sports hats. I don’t even think I’m talking about underwear, …

All Abonk!
Depending on the circumstances this is either exceptionally tragic or exceptionally stupid. Unfortunately it’s quite likely we’ll never know for certain which one it is. A rail firm has been fined £1m after a man died leaning out of a train window. Simon Brown, 24, was killed when he hit his head on a steel …
