Let me make sure I have this right. The Conservatives bought advertising time on television stations so that they could show advertisements like this one that advertise all of the bad things that Justin Trudeau has done, and then tell us at the end of all of their advertisements that Justin Trudeau is not as …

Queen Elizabeth Way Too Much Stuff In Your Car
I can think of more than one person in my family who has either definitely or quite probably done either this or something similar, but never somewhere as busy as the QEW. https://www.facebook.com/david.fafinski/videos/2404349856296476/ A baffling display of driving was caught on video late last week, with a driver carting a load of wood on the QEW with …

News Flash Morons: I’m In Jail
It’s been a while since I’ve seen one of these. And news flash morons: it’s still just as bad an idea as it was the last time I did. Also, the saying long arm of the law exists for a reason. Jessie Dean Kowalchuk has been transported back to Kamloops from Edmonton to face a judge …
You Just Can’t Trust Anybody Nowadays
William Kelley left the keys to his truck on the seat of that very same truck. Naturally, somebody came along and took it. Also naturally, Kelley called the local police to report the theft. But of course, since you’re here, it turns out that Kelley forgot to consider one little thing before he did so. …
I’d Like To Report A Robbery. Someone Has Stolen My Good Sense
I’m trying to figure out exactly what Rachel Thornburg thought was going to happen here. Was the idea that police would give up on chasing her after a certain point, she would abandon the car someplace and then pick it up later once the heat had hopefully died down? I suppose that’s not the stupidest …

I Am My Choices, But Thankfully Not A Pancake
https://twitter.com/CarlyAlmighty/status/1131517122428002305 This fella here, who apparently nearly had his lunch eaten by an oncoming train about 30 seconds after this video was shot, turns out to be an elementary school principal here in town. That’s comforting. The principal of an elementary school has apologized after a man stood on railway tracks to take cellphone photos …

Look Over There! It’s Common Sense Flying The Coop!
I expect this sort of warning would need to be given out to the selfie morons, but birdwatchers? I thought they were supposed to be smart. Chippewa County Sheriff Michael Bitnar posted “safety tips” on his department’s Facebook page on Thursday welcoming birdwatchers to the county and sharing some rules of the road. Bitnar asked …

If You Think You’re Going To Scam Me From A Distance, You’re Right. But It’s Going To Be From A Different Distance, By God
This news report is written so terribly that I thought it had to be fake, but it’s verified by Randy Cassingham’s This is True. So if it’s good enough for him, it’s good enough for me. And thank goodness it’s good enough for him, because I’d hate to think that I just literally slapped myself …
Pool Fool
Problem: You have an inflatable pool that you don’t have the means to inflate. Solution: Drive it into town and get it inflated there. Problem: Now you have to get it back home and there’s no way it’s fitting in the car. Solution: Alright kids, time to start earning your keep. A mother in Dixon, …
But I Made Copies!
I love the Register’s On Call feature. Basically it’s like those emails full of dumb computer user jokes that have gone around for years and years, only real. Every week, technicians write in and share stories of the ineptitude they’ve experienced in the wild. They’re usually pretty good, but every now and then you happen …
