Step Right Up! Come Get Taken For Everything You Own Like A Total Idiot!
Guys like Henry Gribbohm here are probably one of the main reasons that the Ontario government is meeting so much resistance to its efforts to open casinos here in Kitchener and elsewhere. In an attempt to win an Xbox Kinect at a carnival, this clown somehow managed to lose about $2600 on a ball toss …

What Kind Of Kool-Aid Pairs Best With Police Car?
Nimrods calling 911 to ask that things such as burgers, Kool-Aid and weed be delivered to them is at the point where it’s pretty much not weird anymore. No, not even if said nimrod calls 911 nearly 100 times. But fortunately, now and then you meet a guy like Jarvis Sutton who’s willing to do …

The Amazing Disappearing Kitchener CBC
I love the CBC. Its news coverage is among the best around, it’s meant the world to the Canadian comedy scene, it plays loads of great music and is the home of some of my favourite sports memories. With all that going for it, how could I not love it? But as much as I …

“Where’s Our Son?” “He’s Fine. I Sent Him Out To Play With Mike.”
Good: Your 2-year-old child is out in the yard on a lovely Sunday afternoon, happily playing and sipping on some lemonade. Not so good: Your 2-year-old child is found wandering down the road on a Sunday afternoon. He’s not wearing any shoes or socks and he’s got a bottle of hard lemonade in each hand. …
