Wash Down That Poutine With A Big Bottle Of Poutine

I like poutine and I like Jones Soda. But the idea of combining the two…I’m not so sure I like that. I’d heard it was gross, but I kept an open mind and was willing to be surprised. With the wife looking on, I cracked open a bottle and took a swig. It didn’t take long …

Sign In Support Of The Blind’s Right To Access Printed Books…If You Can Get Past The CAPTCHA

Equal access to printed material for the blind is an issue that’s pretty close to our hearts for obvious reasons, so I’m happy to plug this petition. No matter how many times I hear something like this, I’m always baffled and saddened by corporations that don’t want to not only do the right thing as …

A Penny Saved Is A Few Million Dollars Less Than Anticipated

Don’t Get Too Comfortable, Nickel And Dime

I knew this would happen, but I’m not sure I’d have guessed it would be this fast. The corpse of the Canadian penny hasn’t even finished cooling off yet and already there are folks calling for the end of not only the nickel, but the dime as well. The arguments are similar to the ones …

Get This, You Guys! Anti-piracy Efforts Don’t Work! Who Knew?

While basically anyone with simultaneous walking and gum chewing abilities should know this already, there are still plenty of folks who don’t.

People Better At Music Than You: Tina The Van Halen Playing 14-Year-Old

This is completely ridiculous. And for a change, I mean that in the nicest of ways. What you’re about to watch is somebody playing the absolute king jesus hell out of Eddie Van Halen’s Eruption solo. You know, the one you hear right before the cover of You Really Got Me. But it’s not just …

No Officer, That Wasn’t A Ringtone. It Was Just Me Farting

If you’re planning on smuggling a phone into jail with you via the good old Hershey Express, always always always remember to turn it off before packing it. Remember, not expecting a call doesn’t necessarily mean you’re not going to get one. The Agence France-Presse reports that the 58-year-old convict had concealed the phone, along …
