Here are some things Steve and I have noticed in commercials that bug the hell out of us. Yeah, I think we think too much. There’s a commercial for Delsym cough syrup that says “When America coughs, America has Delsym.” So, I should take from that wording that Delsym is the name of the cough? …

Doggy Day Is Here Again
Well holy crap, can you believe it? Two years ago today was the big day when I received my Trixter. Sometimes I can’t believe it’s been that long, but it sure has. Last year, I summed things up pretty well, so I’ll let that stand on its own. But yup, it’s been another year, another …
It Worked In South Africa?
Wow. the act of wheeling a dead guy in so they could get his pension cheque actually worked in South Africa, unlike what happened with those guys in the states who tried a similar trick. Can you imagine getting the dead guy’s thumbprint?
Foul Lawsuit
Here comes another lawsuit that shouldn’t have gone forward, but it is. It’s been a long-standing thing that if a fan gets hit by a foul ball or an errant piece of bat, they can’t sue. But apparently 5 supreme court judges said that wasn’t true anymore in the case of 8-year-old Tara Sweeney, who …
Going Down!
You know, something tells me David Senior wasn’t able to ease that girl’s fear of heights when, while telling her that leaning over the hotel balcony was safe, he leaned over it and fell four storeys onto the roof of the hotel’s restaurant. Woops. I love the description of the guy falling. “I heard this …
If The Walls could Talk, they’d Scream
This story about a family suing their real estate agent for not telling them a murder was committed in the house they just bought makes me think of that Simpson’s episode where Marge is selling real estate and ends up selling the house where someone was murdered to the Flanders family. but it also makes …
Might As Well Revise the "Might As Well Go For A soda" Lyrics
More fights over food, only this time it was something to drink. Specifically, two brothers fought over a coke. The funniest part is the guy who was originally angry about the drinking of the coke ended up shot dead by the other guy. It’s a coke, guys. Now you have one less family member. Just …

Secret and Stolen Identities
Oh boy. This story just keeps getting better and better. Can it get any more awesome? First, there was the whole pistol-whipping of a customer at Goomba’s Pizzeria by the owner, then the revelation that the owner was a mobster, now the victim wasn’t being completely honest either. No, he wasn’t in the Witness-protection program, …
Getaway Fail
This burglary gone horribly wrong reminds me of that old story of that shoplifter getting smoked by her getaway car while trying to get into it. Only in this story, Derek Clark didn’t do so well. He was shot by his would-be victim, and then got run over twice by his getaway vehicle before it,well, …
I’m Taking It Easy When I Take…Out The Trusty Gun
An Ontario Liberal backbencher is calling on the federal and provincial governments to pass stricter laws to prevent violence on public transit after a string of incidents involving Toronto’s bus and subway system. Mike Colle is proposing a bill that would impose a fine of up to $50,000 for anyone carrying a weapon onto a …
