So. Have any of you noticed that sometimes when people talk about PPE it sounds like they’re saying peepee? And if you have, are you like me and giggle whenever you hear that they want to provide everyone with all the peepee they need? How much peepee does someone really need, anyway? Is there a …

Whole Lotta Folsom
I have nothing to say, I just thought you all might want to hear this thing that Spotify served up for me just now. Yes, that is indeed Folsom Prison Blues being sung to the riff from Whole Lotta Love. Thank you, Surreal McCoys. My day is better for having this in it.
There Are Number 1s Right In Your Phone Number. I Thought You Could Help
Today’s…uh…piss poor reason for calling 911. I’m caught in slow moving traffic and I really need to take a wiz. Please send the police. Calling 9-1-1 because you need to use the bathroom and the car ahead isn't moving fast enough, is definitely #NotFor911. 9-1-1 misuse can potentially prevent someone with a life-threatening emergency from …

Give Me Those Keys
Some days it really irritates me that guys like this get to drive and I don’t. Really, how much more dangerous could I possibly be? I’d even stick my cane out the window so I could sweep for obstacles if it would make people feel better. Halton police has charged a Waterdown man for playing …
Let Me Warm That UP For You
If nobody has, somebody needs to come up with a microwave for the car. I feel like it would save a lot of people, such as poor Zayveon Johnson here, a whole lot of trouble. It might give us one less gimmick to run the site on, but holy crap I think I’m fine with …
The Tuition At I Did My Own Research University Is Starting To Go UP, Thank God
All of this editorial 1000 times. We’ve said a bunch of this here already, but it still needs repeating. Plus it’s good to see governments coming around to the idea that you can’t always be nice and simply rely on people to do the right thing. Sometimes you really do need to slap some fuckers …

Third Time’s The Harm
I was murdered by yet another COVID shot on Thursday afternoon. After the awful reactions I had to the first two, that’s pretty much what I expected would happen. In fact I expected it so much that I made the decision to wait until after Christmas to get it because there would be no Christmas …
Here’s A Tip. Stop Expecting Extra Money
Tipping is likely here to stay in Ontario — but should it? With minimum wage increasing on Jan. 1, hospitality prof questions culture of tipping When I was little, I was always under the impression that leaving a tip was meant to recognize really good service and that doing so or not was a customer’s …
Has The Region Of Waterloo Been Booking And Cancelling Appointments For Anyone Else?
I can’t be 100% certain, but I think there might be a fairly well done phishing scam floating around in the name of the Waterloo Region vaccine effort, either that or someone is doing some testing in the production environment that ought not be done there. While I was away over the holidays (Boxing Day …
But But But My Personal Choice To Get Frostbite!
Watching the news right now and of course they’re talking about our newest COVID lockdown. Among the things they said were going to be closed down for the next few weeks at least are waterparks. Uh…what? It’s January. This is Ontario. Are waterparks even open? If so, why? And what sort of maniacs are planning …
