It’s been a while since I’ve seen one of these. And news flash morons: it’s still just as bad an idea as it was the last time I did. Also, the saying long arm of the law exists for a reason. Jessie Dean Kowalchuk has been transported back to Kamloops from Edmonton to face a judge […]
Are You Showering? ‘Cause We Are!
Holiday Inn owner ditching mini shampoos to cut plastic pollution Chain uses an average of 200 million bathroom miniatures every year I’m cool with helping the environment, but this story is failing to answer a very important question.

Where Are They Now: Igor Kenk, the Guy Who Pilfered All Those Bikes
I remember being fascinated by the story of Igor Kenk as it was unfolding. First because I thought it was funny that a guy who owned a bike shop would have to send somebody out to steal a bike for him, and then just by how big the story ended up being (around 3000 bikes […]
