I have no idea how I should start this, so let’s just get to the good stuff. *Note: Good stuff is not actually good at all…at least not for most of us.* Eric Detiege, 47, was arrested in March by cops responding to a suspicious person call in Oldsmar, a Tampa suburb. Officers found a …

We Said Use The Knife On The Food, Not On The Dude!
Story is almost a year old, but it still serves as a good reminder for us all to be better not only this year, but for how ever many more years we’re getting before the planet melts or blows up or washes away or dies of stubbornness or whatever it’s supposed to be doing this …

Whataflasher
Not that any of you need a reason to refrain from exposing yourselves in a Whataburger drive thru, but if you’ve been on the fence about it, perhaps knowing that you won’t be fatally exposed to a great big truck while running away if you don’t might swing your vote. When the officer arrived, the …
Here Comes The Ba Da Ba Ba Bride
I have nothing much to say about these people who got married at a local McDonald’s. I’m really only posting this so I can make that title joke. But since I’m here, come on, CTV. The best you could come up with was “McWedding vows”? Step it up, guys. Anyway, congratulations to the happy McDoubles. …
Did You Say We Needed Honey?
Once again, Steve sent me a story about bees that made me squirm. It appears a guy went grocery shopping, but when he came back to his car, the back seat was full of bees, and I do mean full. There were 15000 bees in the car who had just started to swarm. What amazes …
Chinese People Are Still Throwing Coins Into Plane Engines For Luck. It’s Still A Bad Idea
If the airplane COVID doesn’t kill you, perhaps the paper-wrapped coins some putz chucked into the engine will. Yes, people are still doing that. It wasn’t Lucky Air this time, but they did fall victim to this phenomenon again in 2020, according to the story. In that case, a 28-year-old man was ordered to pay …

How Many People Named Lacey Are Working There
This seems rather appropriate. A former finance boss at Brantano and Jones Bootmaker has been appointed as finance director at Shoe Zone. Terry Boot has joined the discount retailer, replacing Peter Foot who left last month after just seven months in the role.
Lou Ottens Twisted Up And Eaten At 94
Say what you want about cassettes. They’re easy to destroy. They don’t sound so hot once they start to wear. But for my money, there has never been a format that made audio more universally accessible. You could take your music anywhere, and you could capture anything you wanted quickly and with ease just by …
Looks Like I’m An NDP Voter Again
Not because of any idea they have in particular although they generally have some pretty good ones. My choice is based on a really, really bad idea the Liberals had. I will absolutely not be rewarding this kind of selfish, irresponsible behaviour with my vote in September. Saying that, by the way, makes me a …
