Jones Big Ass Truck Rental & Storage
I don’t completely understand why this made me laugh as much as it did. Maybe it’s the cold. But what the hell, let’s go with it.
Christmas Musings
Here we are, December 23 and once again I’m wondering how the heck we got here. When I was little, I remember being told that as I get older, the years will go faster and faster. I thought that was a load of crap, after all, time is time, and how can it possibly go …
Edwin Is An Indian, And I’m Looking Forward To Baseball Season A Little Bit Less Now
Enjoy this. We won’t be seeing it in Toronto until the Indians come to town to beat the hell out of us. I don’t want to sit here and take a dump all over a still fairly new front office’s process and vision until I see what happens on the field this year (the first …

I don’t know how new this development is or isn’t, but whenever more people get access to blind guy cable boxes it’s good news worth mentioning. Hello, Canadian companies.

When Trump Was A Lad, Nobody Wanted To Sing At His Inauguration
Recently there’s been some controversy over who is or isn’t going to be performing during Donald Trump’s inauguration this January. According to a member of Trump’s transition team Elton John was going to be there, which sounded kind of weird to me given John’s support for gay rights and Trump’s…uh…Trumpness. Sure enough, the Elton John …
