It’s crazy enough that this scam worked once, but now it’s worked twice, and on women in the same country, no less! A Japanese octogenarian was swindled out of thousands of dollars after falling in love online with a self-described astronaut who sought her help to avert a spaceship crisis, police said Tuesday. The hapless …

Yeah, Ya Did
I hadn’t thought about it until I came across this story just now, but how can it possibly be that more things don’t get set on fire while “We Didn’t Start the Fire” blasts away nearby? Or at the very least, how come I don’t hear about them if in fact there are more? My …
Name That WWF Golden Era Tune
I’m so mad! I’d have had a perfect score on this quiz if not for the damn Nasty Boys! I needed juuuuuuust a bit more time on that one. But 14 out of 15 is still pretty great. Amazing what happens when most of the music is either iconic, easy to associate with the person …
Jimmy Kimmel Is Back On TV. Maybe Miracles Are Real
I think I said everything I had to say about this last week, so I’ll try to keep things short so you can just go ahead and watch the 28 minute video. I’m genuinely surprised that Kimmel got his show back. Given the current refusal of any corporate giant to do the bare ass minimum …

Just Call It The CFNFL And Get It Over With
The CFL announced a bunch of rule changes yesterday that will be phased in over the next few years and I’ve gotta tell ya, I don’t think I like ’em much. Ok, so maybe that’s not totally fair. I’m sure some of it will be fine, and perhaps even good. If the play clock can …

Trump Gets Another Wish As Jimmy Kimmel Is Pulled Off the Air For no Good Reason. Enjoy Your Dictatorship, America
ABC Pulls Jimmy Kimmel Live! Over Kirk Killer Remarks If anything I’m about to say sounds dramatic to you, too bad. Because moments like these are how democracies die. When the powerful chill speech, people stop speaking. When no one speaks, no one is holding the powerful accountable. When no one is holding the powerful …
There Is Nothing Freak About This Accident
They’re making a big deal here out of the fact that these two women were deaf and that’s likely why this happened, but personally I feel like the standing on train tracks taking pictures and not paying attention thing might have had more to do with it. Your ears may not work, but as long …

The Ontario Liberals Have No Idea What They’re Doing, Do They?
I don’t have strong feelings one way or another about Bonnie Crombie, which I suppose may be part of the problem here. But the news that she’s resigning has me surprised and disappointed, because it really doesn’t feel like she was given a fair shot. She hadn’t even been on the job for a full …

Me And Coolio Down By The Schoolyard
Take some “Fantastic Voyage”, And some “Me and Julio”, and have yourselves a wonderful Friday afternoon. No, I’m not sure how Macho Man fits in either, but I’ll go with it.
