I remember watching Santa Claus skydive into a pole and tree last year and thinking to myself gees, some of those kids might need a little therapy. But while I’m sure that was probably rather traumatic, I’m also fairly certain that it has nothing on this incident from 1996. Santa Claus was ready to fly …

Twas The Night Before Christmas, House Of Commons Style
I pay decent attention to the goings on in Parliament, yet somehow I had never seen Liberal MP Rodger Cuzner read his annual Christmas poem. But now I have, and it’s awesome. With so much division in the world, sometimes it’s nice to be reminded that things don’t suck all the time and that now …

I Triple Dog Dare You To Read This And Not Wince At Least Once
Assuming that things are going the way that things are supposed to be going, at the time this hits the site we’re in the midst of about a nine hour road trip. So while we’re stuck on a train, we’ll leave you with these stories of people getting stuck to frozen things, A Christmas Story …

We Hope So, Yes
There’s not much funny about Dellen Millard, but I kind of loled at this. The Crown was pushing for a consecutive sentence, while Millard’s lawyer, Ravin Pillay, asked for it to be served concurrently. Pillay said during his sentencing submissions that a third consecutive sentence would be “extraordinarily harsh and excessive.” “He will die before then,” …
TLC Randomness
I’m going to resist the urge to tweet about this show and use this here text file instead. Let’s see what I end up with. Why was the Cruiserweight title match on the preshow instead of the Mixed Match Challenge finals? I know the MMC match technically has Royal Rumble implications, but let’s be serious. …
The Post In Which I Get To Use JAWS And Affordable In A Sentence Without Putting The Words Is Not Between Them
I haven’t bought a JAWS upgrade in years. It’s been so many years, in fact, that I can’t even remember the last time that I did. NVDA does pretty much everything I need a screen reader to do while only costing me a small monthly donation that I make by choice, and for everything else …
Government For The People. Not You, Small Fry. Everyone Knows Children Aren’t People
I realize I could ask this question of basically any group that isn’t either a corporation or an old family friend, but why, exactly, does Doug Ford seem to hate children so much? First his government decided that there was no need for them to have an advocate, and now, without warning as tends to …
Love Is A 47-Year-Old Christmas Present
It appears the mystery of the 47-year-old gift has been solved, and it was captured on video! I guess the articles from last year made their way to Vicki Allen, the ex girlfriend who handed him the gift and dumped him, and they reconnected and decided to open the mystery gift for a charity. Thank …
The Cat’s Thoughts On Your Christmas Tree
I came across this song the other day, and chuckled. I thought of many cats our family had over the years. Thankfully none of them ruined our Christmas tree or did too much ornament damage, but I think we learned to strategically place breakable ornaments too high for them. Many times, we would come out …

We’re All Getting A Little More Bob Cole
I’m still no fan of the way Rogers has treated Bob Cole, but at least there’s been a wee bit of good news on that front. He’ll be sticking around to call an additional six games, winding things up on the final Saturday night of the season by calling Leafs vs. Canadiens. I still wish …
