I should write about this before it gets too crazy late. My brother got married a couple of weeks ago. Well, this was the big affair that they had been planning out anyway. They technically got married in City Hall back in 2012, but since you can’t invite everybody you’d want at your wedding to …

They’re Back!
Here’s Gill with some breaking news. TLC sucks, everyone. Just when you thought it was safe to watch TLC. You’ve heard of Sharknado, and this summer’s cleverly named Sharknado 2 The 2nd one? Here’s something that might cause you to run to your online yellow pages, and find the nearest psychotherapist. Sex Sent me To …
I Wish I Could Say Nay Nay
It sucks when literally the first thing you hear upon waking up in the morning is crappy news. Well, I guess if we’re being technical the first thing I heard this morning was some guy on Coast to Coast going on and on about the ability of turmeric to shrink cancer cells, but I fell …
Here Comes White Trash
Gill, it would seem, wishes to take issue with Honey Boo Boo. Other than knowing that it’s a show on the wasteland of terrible they call TLC, I’m completely ignorant on the subject so am going to have to take her word for it until somebody tells me she’s wrong. Remember how a couple of …

CKCO’s Blooper Reel
Unless you’re brand new here, you know how much I love news blooper reels. So I was happy to see that CKCO ended flashback week with one. Not bad guys, not bad.
Memories Of Romper Room
Here’s another one of those CKCO web extras. A nice, long clip from Romper Room. I have 0 recollection of Cowbells the Clown, but I do remember watching Romper Room every day I could and wishing that my nursery school could be on TV like theirs. And does anybody else remember paying special attention at …
CKCO Gives Us 60 Years Of News In 3 Minutes…Kind Of
I got a bit behind thanks to some nasty weather-related migraines, but I think I’m going to be ok. I’m not perfect yet, but I can be in a position other than lying down for more than a few minutes at a time, so that’s gotta be a good sign…I hope. So anyway, here’s another …
