Well hello there! Yes, both we and the site do, in fact, still exist. Things have just been quiet the last little bit because it’s summer and that tends to be how things roll around here regardless of intent. Usually you all have the same idea as us, but for some reason numbers haven’t fallen …

Happy 29th Birthday, CBC Newsworld!
It’s hard to remember a time before CBC Newsworld, or CBC News Network as we know it now. For years it’s been the first place I turn when I hear about the sort of breaking news that gives me an urge to follow it nonstop, because it’s one of the very few television news outlets …
Very Stable Genius
Randy Rainbow strikes again. This is seriously amazing. Original song here, just in case. (tiny Trump voice: As you know, I’m meeting with President Putin on Monday and we will of course ask your favourite question about meddling, and I will be asking it again and you know, what am I gonna do? I mean…he …
In Case You Have To Explain Canada Day To An American
I’m still laughing about butter tarts and bagged milk. I’ve had to explain both of those things recently to people and have found them really hard to explain. Happy Canada Day. I hope you’re staying cool, because holy snappin’ crap it’s hot out there.
The English Language Used To Be Even More Complicated
Did you know that the alphabet used to contain at least ten more letters than it does now? Me neither. I knew about the long S although my brain started to short circuit a bit when he got into explaining its usage rules, but the rest of these were new to me. And try as …

Why Would He Be Stopping During A Chase…Oh. Wait

So Here’s A Ridiculous Round Of Family Feud
Name a word that follows the word pork seems like a pretty simple question. I thought of a good half dozen answers right away when I heard it. Not everyone is me, apparently. The woman who spells loin lion and whatever the hell a pork tease is supposed to be (pretty sure we all have …

Make America Grate Again
I’m not sure how many of you are old enough to remember that time when a kid had to teach Vice President Dan Quayle how to spell potato correctly, but the world went pretty nuts over it for a while. If only the world knew what was to come. Now that what was to come …
I Want To Eat AT Wendy’s Right Now In Spite Of The Fact That This Is How They Train People
I don’t have a whole lot to say about this load of Wendy’s employee training videos I’m about to drop on you, but I do have to ask: Do restaurants still make these things? If yes, how does anyone ever learn to do anything correctly? Oh. Right. Never mind. Yes, that was partly a shot …
The Further Adventures of Googoo and Odessa
Here’s another video demonstrating why Grandma would not like an Amazon Echo. It doesn’t matter how many times I watch this video, it’s just as funny. I can’t help but crack up when she yells “Ok Goo goo!” It’s fascinating to watch her hitting the speaker thinking that will make it wake up. It totally …
