Tempting as it might be, you probably shouldn’t throw a blender at a complaining customer, even if she may have started it by tossing a wrong order back at you. She also shouldn’t have had to wait nearly a half hour for a corrected one before things got heated, but none of this is an …

You Hitting The Curb Means I Fixed It
There’s an old saying that goes you can’t legislate common sense. Neither, it seems, can you appoint it to the bench. Just ask the Michigan judges who ruled that a tire rotation was completed by a mechanic even though said mechanic missed the very important part of the procedure where you tighten all of the …
Please Don’t Swing On The Hydro Lines, Say Officials To People They Think Might Somehow Understand Words
I’m not sure what the stupidest thing I’ve done while drunk is. Not because I’m usually too far gone to remember things like that, but because generally speaking I’m not the kind of person who does a lot that could be classified as seriously, terminally dumb. For instance, it’s rather unlikely that you’ll ever find …
You Sure Minimized The Crap Out Of That Travel, All Right
Dammit Rogers, you shitheads. You almost had me sympathizing with you for a second there. That stuff about minimizing travel in the name of safety this baseball season, I got it. I didn’t fully trust or believe you, but I did understand. But when it comes to minimizing, you sure went above and beyond, you …

Zombie, The Hannah Montana Edition
Holy crap. Miley Cyrus did this. the Party In the U.S.A. kid. The performance was part of her set at a streaming music festival called Save Our Stages Fest, put on to raise money for the National Independent Venue Association. It had a fairly stacked lineup from the sounds of it, but I think Miley …
Mask Up, Or Else!
Sadly, shooting a mask onto someone’s face from a distance isn’t a concept that could ever actually work, but it sure is fun to think about. In a perfect world we either wouldn’t need this at all or there should be at least one in every building. I can’t decide which would be better. And …
Look There She Goes, that Girl Is Sick, No Question
Beauty and the Beast lends itself well to coronavirus parodies, it seems. First it was Wear a Mask, and now we have Little Town. If your memory is failing you, that’s the one where Belle says good morning to everyone and they talk about how odd she is. This time, she’s that guy. You know …

The Blue Jays Are World Series Champions!
Game six again! Another radio call I didn’t hear at the time because I was watching it on TV with the family. The only bit I remember is Tom Cheek saying “The Blue Jays are World Series champions!”. That line was played over and over again after the fact. Not as often as the legendary …
