Does This Make Me A Bad Canadian?

I think my utter disdain for all things winter is starting to take over my life. Actually I know it is, because just the mere fact that it is currently fall is causing me great amounts of annoyance and sorrow. It’s been this way for years and it gets worse and worse with each trip …

A Name Does Not Indicate You’re A Man Of God

The story of Shelby Marwan Heggs wanting to change his name kind of reminds me of this old joke. I understand why a man with a name like Shelby would want to change it. Have you met any other male Shelbys? But why in hell would he want to change it to Saint Jody Almighty …

Unintentional Bee Beard

Poor Lamar LaCaze. Poor poor guy. After that, I think I would have to mow the lawn in a snowsuit. He was just mowing the lawn, when it happened. He must have struck one hell of a nest of bees, because he got 1200 stings. Ow ow ow ow oo oo ee ee. I love …

Making It Easy For Cops

If you’ve stolen a car, do you think it’s a good idea to drive around with your arm out the window with music pounding? Preston Renninger did, now he’s in jail. I guess it was partly bad timing. Police were taking a report of a stolen car from Sergio Vial. As they were putting the …

Is it me, or are people’s tempers getting shorter and shorter? I mean, we have the whole food feuds tag full of people snapping over various food items not being available. Now, we know that you shouldn’t tell Dallas Amber Smith that her feet smell, or she might stab you in the back. Seriously. It …

Wanna Influence Some More Ontario Disability-Related Legislation?

Last year, I mentioned the accessible built environment standard. Well, this year, it’s time to give comment on the integrated accessibility regulation. This is the employment, transportation and information and communications standards smushed together into one big fat ol’ standard. Read it and comment by October 16. If that comment link doesn’t work, there should …

You Still Have To Be Fair, Even To Drunk Drivers

I’m generally one of the first to argue that there’s no such thing as a drunk driving law that’s too tough, but what British Columbia isdoingis seriously testing the limits of that point of view. Under the new laws, drivers caught with a blood alcohol level of 0.08 or higher or those who refuse to …

It’s The Swiffer House-Defender!

I love stories like this where old people mop the floor with burglars. It’s extra awesome when they use a Swiffer and a dustbuster to do it. Phillip Graham was cleaning the floor when a dude waving something that looked like a pistol came into his house ordering him to the floor. Graham wasn’t havin’ …
