Believe it or not, I actually know a couple of guys who tried to pull off the old switch places during a traffic stop thing once. They were both drinking, but decided, in their infinite wisdom, that the one that didn’t have a driver’s license was in better shape and thus less likely to get …

Take A Flying Leap, Doug
I may be the only one, but I was fully prepared to give Doug Ford a pass for buying that government jet. Part of this is a me thing, because I hate travelling. In a perfect world, wherever I’m going should never be more than an absolute maximum of an hour and a half away …
Baby Powder
If you’re planning to tool around town with three pounds of cocaine, there are certainly worse ways of disguising it than making it look like a great big pregnant belly. On paper, at least. Unfortunately, life isn’t lived on paper. If it were, it wouldn’t matter that you drive like an idiot. Or that you …
Match The One-Hit Wonder To Their Follow-Up Song, Probably Do Better Than Steve
When I was a kid it used to annoy the crap out of me when a band was described as a one-hit wonder even though I knew damn well that they had another song! I considered it a point of pride when I could name that song when no one else could. So with that …

How Did He Get An Uber That Fast?
More than once in these pages I’ve mentioned that something said by George Carlin wasn’t just a bit to me, but also a life lesson. This, however, is not one of those things. If only I could have explained that to Christopher Everson here before everything went all to hell for him. On April 11, …
There’s No Door Between Us. Stop Lying!
I enjoy these Ryan George videos because he takes things that I’ve often spent far too much time wondering about and then actually makes something useful out of them because he’s, like, funny and stuff. Today, it’s the guy who invented the joke.
You’ll Probably Never Hear Bohemian Rhapsody Quite The Same Way Again
Here’s a neat video on the making of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody”. I remember covering this in music electronics class back in high school. We didn’t go into it in this much depth, but we went deep enough to understand that the thing is a freaking marvel. Not just because all of it was recorded in …

But That’s Exactly When We Need One
B.C. RCMP cancel Amber Alert after 2 children go missing
Fill My Cone Up To Here
I like the Tragically Hip well enough, but nowhere near as much as most people seem to. they’ve put out a good bit of stuff which, to my ear at least, kinda sucks, actually. Just because a song references Canada in some form doesn’t automatically make it good. This has been unpopular hot takes with …
Ok, But Why?
I love these old people. They seem so fun. And like them, I also enjoy the word “thooter”. It and “bop” were the only ones I was totally clueless on. It’s also comforting to know that even the kids think “cheugy” sounds stupid.
