For a little while there, the Game Show Network had episodes of Chain Reaction on after 5. I don’t know what it is about that show, but it’s addictive. You can get sucked in so easily. I had to laugh at my scathing review of Chain Reaction from 13 years ago. I really had a …

Dear Cheap Bastards…I Mean TSN
If you’re going to simulcast the TV Grey Cup commentary to the radio, first of all don’t, but just as importantly, could you maybe clue the commentators in to the fact that they are being heard on the radio? Perhaps that way they might remember to do things like say the score now and again …

These appeared near the beginning of the month as usual, but then vanished before I could post them. No idea what happened, but they’re back now. The weather lady with the earring is speaking my language. Enjoy that omelette. And good luck with the gas, David!

I Love Seth Meyers’ Trump Impression
Perhaps there are people who do a technically better one, but Seth Meyers does my favourite Donald Trump impression. Admittedly I haven’t seen every Trump impersonator there is, but nobody I’ve seen does quite as good a job of capturing just how weird and out to lunch the guy can be. As an example, I …
Don’t Suffer In Silence
New favourite ad jingle, right here. I howled, and not because I took his advice and decided not to suffer in silence. How many takes do you suppose it took to get this just the way they wanted it? “Can you put some more annunciation on Hemorrhoid Treatment Center and then try to hit them …
