This Brings New Meaning To The Term Carpetbagger

There are several things we’re often told when working with machinery. Wear goggles, don’t wear loose clothing and always turn it off immediately if something gets stuck are a few examples. One thing I’ve never heard, however, is wear a cup. But after hearing the story of Edgardo Toucet, that may change. Toucet was hired …

The Winnebago Man To End All Winnebago Men!

Some of you probably remember the Winnebago Man promotional video outtakes from many years ago. If you do, you’ll be happy to hear that there’s another 3 minutes or so of footage that you may not have seen. It hit YouTube back in 2009, but I was completely unaware of it until somebody slapped it …

Today’s Reminder That It Isn’t All That Difficult To Treat Blind People Like Human Beings

Carin and I have covered much of this stuff through the years, but another well written reminder for folks to stumble upon can’t hurt. So…Pet Peeves of the Blind and Visually Impaired The title alone is important. I want to be called blind, not visually impaired. My vision isn’t impaired, it’s nonexistent. Ditto for Carin, …

Rest In Peace, Paul Bearer

This has been a bad week for deaths. Not long before Stompin Tom, I learned of the passing of William Moody, better known to pretty much everybody as Paul Bearer, the Undertaker’s manager in the WWF during the 1990’s. He was just 58, but had been having some health troubles in the last few years, …

Look At This Instagram

This one goes out to all my pals on Twitter who feel the need to Instagram the living shit out of everything. In other words, hi most of you, how’s it goin’? It’s sung to the tune of Nickelback’s Photograph, so that song turned out to be good for something after all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nn-dD-QKYN4 This reminds …

Roll On, Stompin’ Tom

It’s hard to put into words exactly how much of a legend Stompin’ Tom Connors is. It’s also hard to explain how much he meant not just to Canadian music, but to Canada itself. Think of something Canadian. Whatever crossed your mind just now, Stompin’ Tom probably wrote a song about it at some point. …

Things You Didn’t Know You Wanted To Know: What Type Of Electric Shock Hurts More

Time for a little early morning science. If you’re anything like me, well, first of all I’m sorry, but more importantly for our purposes at the moment, you’re probably too busy yelling things like “Ahh son of a whore!” when you manage to give yourself a shock to wonder if AC or DC electricity hurts …

Bacon Flavoured Jello. Well, There Goes Dinner

A while ago I kind of went off about the world’s ridiculous bacon obsession and how out of hand it’s gotten. I stand by what I said, but had I only known what was to come I’d have saved saying it for sometime like…now. Yes, now seems like a good time. That is indeed a …

If Only Something Could Have Calmed Him Down

Darren Baldwin had a job. I say had, because for some reason he lost it. And when I say he lost it, I mean the job *and* his mind. After being given his walking papers, Baldwin promptly responded by punching his now former manager in the face. He then grabbed a couple of knives and …
