Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
So yeah. That stuff I said yesterday about heading outside to watch the Jays not get swept? It didn’t happen. The outside part happened and it was nice, but the fuckin’ Jays lost again. Worse yet, they lost a game they had won. That’s baseball though, I suppose. I guess it’s all sports really. the …

If you listen to most of your Blue Jays games on the Fan like I do, you’ve probably heard those Harvey Brooker Weight Loss For Men commercials. We (especially Carin) have more to say about him whenever we actually do audio again, but right now I’d just like to point out that even after however …

Just heard the news that George Jones has died. He was 81. Considering some of the stories that have come out about him over the years, that’s kind of impressive. Even when I was a little kid who didn’t care much at all for country music, I had to admit that I liked George. If …

I love the CBC. Its news coverage is among the best around, it’s meant the world to the Canadian comedy scene, it plays loads of great music and is the home of some of my favourite sports memories. With all that going for it, how could I not love it? But as much as I …
Carin’s dad is a really handy guy. He’s always coming up with ways to save time and space, or to solve problems that you didn’t think you had but totally do. Just the other day he helped me reclaim about half a desk worth of space by adding items rather than subtracting them, for instance. …

I’m sure that for some people on some level, these here Fundawear smartphone app controlled vibrating underwear are a good idea. but me, I can’t get past the bad idea alarm that goes off whenever I think about having electronics that close to my crotch.
