Speaking of bloopers, how about them Leafs? Yeah, low blow. One that I’m not sure how much they deserve considering that Auston Mathews had one of the best years a Leaf has ever had and they made the playoffs yet again. But then they did what they always seem to do, forget that they’re any …

Music Playing Kid: Caleb Hayes, Eight-Year-Old Drummer
I’m sure I’ve said it before when I’ve posted one of these but it’s probably worth saying again. If I were eight and my favourite band said to me “Steve, come on up here and play a song with us”, I’d probably have lost my shit and totally screwed it up. but I’m not Caleb …

Jiminy Christmas!
Police: Man uses Uber to rob bank, has driver wait to take him home You will be shocked (Shocked I say!) to learn that our friend Jason Christmas here didn’t make a clean getaway, and not just because there’s nothing clean about dye packs exploding all over you, the money and the poor driver’s back …
I’m Sick Of These Mute Muting Mutes In this Mute Muting Movie
If you’re a certain kind of person, the idea of a device that could cut all of the bad words out of movies and TV shows might sound just dandy to you. And if it could also swap those words out of the closed captions and replace them with nicer ones? Even better! But I …

A Few Uplifting Words To Play Over Someone else’s Car Speakers
I didn’t wake up thinking that I was in a particularly down mood today, but I must be. I say that because I remember a time when I would read a story like this one here about a carjacker who was identified because he connected his phone to the car’s Bluetooth, say to myself something …

This Conversation Is…Well…Done
Not a lot to say about the story itself here, but it does remind me that I don’t think we’ve agreed on a male equivalent to Karen yet. We really ought to get on that. I mean if Karen is going to be out here stabbing the poor guy, he probably deserves a name. A …
Wanna See My Carrot?
What’s up? I’ll give you a hint. It rhymes with doc. A Warren County, N.J., man is accused of exposing himself to trick-or-treaters while wearing a pink bunny costume Monday outside Phillipsburg, authorities said. Phillipsburg police were dispatched to a home on East Boulevard in Alpha, based on a report of lewdness called in to …
The Day I Discovered That Wrestling Might Not Be Real
Not sure exactly how it happened, but today I ended up watching a bunch of videos of wrestlers telling stories about the Iron Sheik. Videos like this one, for example. Somewhere in the midst of it all, I remembered something. When I was in grade two, part of our routine was listening to a newscast …

The Heritage Cup Tournament That Wasn’t
This is going to be old news to most of you who would care about such things,but since I’m just now watching episodes of NXT from last summer, here goes. I don’t want to complain too much about the Heritage Cup tournament. The round-robin concept is a very un-WWE-like thing to present, and I mean …
What Flavour Were they, Kill Pickle?
It sucks that this happened, but on the other hand, a guy shooting a stranger in the face outside of a strip club because he wouldn’t share some potato chips with him is exactly why we have a food feuds tag. And hey, it sounds like the bullet recipient is going to be ok. He …
