I Have The Meats…And Some Odd Rectal Issues
I’m not sure where to start here, so we’ll just pick it up from the part where police in Florida were called to an area near a Speedway convenience store to deal with a naked fellow who was standing on the side of the road and yelling at a woman for some reason. That winds …

Being Localized And Being Local Are Not The Same Thing
If this is the future of radio, then maybe it’s time to shut the whole thing down. So much radio is unlistenable to me as it is precisely because it sounds so half assed, unprofessional and automated. There’s no humanity to it. If there are people at all, they’re presented in the form of lifeless, …

“How Do We Weaponize This Against The Vulnerable,” Asked Everyone
Reading about a concept called purpose-bound money, a few things come to mind. I’d love to know how much investment cash was fleeced out of people who didn’t realize they were financing the invention of the gift card. It sounds like a privacy nightmare by design. Assuming they haven’t already, how long is it going …

The Macarena Is Very Disturbing
I feel like I start a good number of posts this way, but here we go again. So I’m doing some stuff around the house while enjoying a beer and some tunes, and “Stupify” by Disturbed comes on. “Haven’t heard this one in a while,” I think. “Always kinda liked it. But…but…why in hell do …
The Sporting Goods Store Did Not Account For All Of The Dicks In The Area
Calling in a fake bomb threat and active shooter to a store across the street from where your boyfriend is about to get arrested for shoplifting maybe isn’t the smartest thing you could do, but I’ll go ahead and put it in the category of ideas so crazy they just might work. Distraction can be …

Smells Like Summer Nights And Karen Carpenter
Given the quality of a lot of what There I Ruined It does, I expected so much more from this than I got, and not just because it’s a short. But on the bright side it made me think of this, which is fabulous. You’ve probably got it figured out, but just in case you’re …

Did You Ever Notice That The CBC Time Signal Sounds Like A Flatline? Maybe That’s Why It Died
I think the last time I heard the CBC’s official 1 o’clock time signal was last summer. That, it turns out, was about two months before they decided to kill it after nearly 84 years. It’s sad to see it go. It was a fixture on my radio growing up, as I’m sure it was …
Would You Like Fries With That? Should I Toss Them In The Coke?
I haven’t heard anything about how Google and Wendy’s are doing with their AI ordering experiment, but according to this here report from the BBC, IBM and McDonald’s have been trying something similar and it’s gone so well that the system is being removed this summer. It seems that it failed for the very reasons …
