If you’ve registered to be notified by text message when there are COVID vaccine appointments available and have heard nothing but a combination of silence and chatter from your friends about how quickly they were able to book their own times, this may be why. The region is asking Telus customers who preregistered for a …

iPhone And Windows Sounds, The A Cappella Edition
Here’s a minute and change worth of a cappella renditions of iPhone sound effects because hey, why not? The group is called Maytree, they’re from South Korea, and their versions are hilariously accurate. They even made me jump and cringe when the damn alarm went off even though it’s the middle of the afternoon and …

Did Somebody Say McBlenderFace?
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 …

2020s Best News Bloopers
Not that any of us is super pumped to look back at 2020, but if we’re going to (and we are), news bloopers are the way to do it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cg3njQMaSQ Lots of ball and sausage related content this year. Reporter’s cute kids need to run in on every newscast. I’m surprised the jacket on jacket …
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 …
