Enjoy your holiday, everyone with a left hand. Maybe crack open a lager bear, visit the baked bean museum and then find out if gas makes sounds. Watch out for the birds!

Don’t Make Me Tell You Again Again
Male with two lifetime driving bans caught driving again, say police Just going to go ahead and ask the obvious question here. How is it possible to be banned for life from the same thing twice?

I Love Seth Meyers’ Trump Impression

Admittedly I haven’t seen every Trump impersonator there is, but nobody I’ve seen does quite as good a job of capturing just how weird and out to lunch the guy can be. As an example, I …
The Sony CFS-C7 CHORDMACHINE

But today, while going through …

It’s Personal (Updates On Gill’s Mom)
Jesus, Gill. When it rains it pours for you, doesn’t it? As ever, you and the rest of the family are in our thoughts. And if I can offer one piece of advice, it would be don’t blame yourself for any of this. It’s tempting to let our minds run wild at times like these, …
