This is funny, but I can’t say I completely agree with him about everything. Sure, a ton of people are switching to VOIP and cellular phones and abandoning the landline, but I don’t think it’s just the new wave and we should make a toast to the land phone and call it an antique and …

Rogerbils
I always knew the folks who worked the phones at Rogers were a bunch of zombies, but this pissed me off more than anything else. The other day, I got a call from a 1-800 number. I knew it was a telemarketer, but when a new number comes through, I like to pick it up …
Something Tells Me This Book Won’t Be Available In The Ludington Library
I don’t know how to feel about this story. A librarian in the small town of Ludington wrote an unflattering book about her experience in the library. She did use a pen name, but she used a picture of her town’s library on the cover. Soon enough, because people could figure out who she was …

Dear Future Generations Of Swedes:
You have my deepest sympathies. And remember, when the day comes that you’ve had enough and finally snap, it wasn’t me who decided that your idiot parents should be allowed to name you something stupid like Budweiser.

The Fake News Alerts Get Scarier
The other day, I talked about fake emails from CNN and Microsoft that were actually viruses. Well, they’ve gotten even creepier. Now, they say they’re coming from MSNBC, and they make it look like the link is a raw link that goes where it should, but it isn’t. So, if you get news alerts, and …
A Moooovie
does this kid sound even remotely like a cow to you? He sounds like a cow who’s been shrunk and stuck in a can.And his parents seem, hmmm, a little slow, as does he. Keep in mind, he’s 8.
Matt’s Song of the Week
I’ve had this song stuck in my head all week. It’s called Give Me A Reason (remix) by the Brandon Paris Band. Normally I’m not in to this bland kinda stuff but it’s catchy. i don’t know if there was another version released first but this has a Reggae type of remix to it which …
Your Day 5 Olympic Update
So here’s a quick breakdown on what’s going on right now. Canada has 6 boats still alive in Olympic rowing ranging from pairs to the Mens 8, which is favoured to win a medal. The American basketball team, or Redeem Team, as they are annoyingly being referred to as have now laid solid beatings on …
The English Language Was Also Killed
Hello, Guelph Mercury? Are you there? Yes, I’m talking to you. Is everybody there who knows what they’re doing on a long vacation, or does nobody give a shit anymore? I ask because I’m curious as to how garbage likethis makes it through your editing process, if you still have one that is. I’ll forgive …
