I was sad to hear a couple of months ago that Alan Kalter, David Letterman’s announcer for most of his CBS run, had died. I always enjoyed him, as I do a lot of classic announcers. Sadly you don’t hear many voices like those anymore. Digging through some old things just now that I hadn’t …

The Holes In Your Mask Match The Holes In Your Brain
Mesh masks not appropriate PPE in classrooms, Brantford school board says How thick do you have to be to need this clarified? Good lord. Unless you legit don’t know what mesh is because your language doesn’t have a word for it and you can’t look at it or touch it for reasons outside of your …

We’re Not Done, Guys. We Could Still Use Some Help
Ontario rent freeze expires on Jan. 1 This crosses my mind a lot. Not just in the context of the rent freeze, but in a general sense. The pandemic is clearly not over. Yes, we’re in a different place than we were a year ago before we had vaccines, but aside from feeling a bit …

WHAT???
I expected something when I clicked on the headline ‘Naked, screaming’ female reported at Sportsman Park, but it definitely was not whatever this is.

I Found Me!
Beyhan Mutlu sounds like a guy who enjoys a good party. Even if that party is a search party. A search party that, as it turns out, had been sent out to look for him. He had wandered away from his friends in a forest while drunk, according to the Daily Sabah website. His wife …

Now I kind of wish every western was like this. In the tradition of classic westerns, a narrator sets up the story of a lone gunslinger who walks into a saloon. However, the people in this saloon can hear the narrator and the narrator may just be a little bit bloodthirsty.

When advertising something for sale online, it is wise to include a photo of the item in question so that prospective buyers can more easily tell whether or not they’re interested. Also wise? Taking a gander at that photo before uploading it just in case the big ol bag of meth that is not for …
Remember, That’s Klinik With Zero Regard For The English Language
How I failed to notice it before I do not know, but the other night I heard what might be the most useless ass radio commercial in the history of the earth. Yes, the earth. All of it. Back to a time before both radio and commercials, but not before the earth, obviously. It’s for …

Mmmmm…Creamy, Chocolatey Death
“Forensic Files II is brought to you by Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups” is a very weird sentence. Attention-grabbing I’ll grant you, but weird. Not sure if it’s the direction I’d have gone, but hey, if it works it works.
