We need to fix something. Steve’s never had a beavertail! … At which point tons of people think I’m actually talking about eating a beaver’s tail. No no no. There are these fried pastry things that look like a beaver’s tail. Since I grew up near Ottawa, our family would go to Ottawa a lot, …

The Enzyte Hotel?
Steve mentioned Trivago the other day, which reminded me that I wanted to write something about Trivago, have been meaning to for a while. When I first heard a Trivago commercial, I wasn’t paying attention. I heard its whistling song, and then a reference to finding a hotel. My first thought was complete shock. In …
Greetings, Sports Fans! You’re All Going To Die!
I haven’t watched a second of NBC’s Olympic coverage, because who does that if he doesn’t have to? Seriously, it’s pretty well always useless and horrible, not even worth the energy it would take to press the remote buttons to get there. But since I am nothing if not a fair man, I will readily …

Not In My Back Yard
As I was writing last night’s post about the completely ridiculous opposition to a new women’s shelter in Cambridge, my mind kept drifting back to this old George Carlin bit. He pretty much nails it, as usual.
Epic Olympic Dream
Gill sent us a post about an Olympic-related dream she had, which made me look for This ‘This Hour has 22 Minutes’ Olympic dream video. So now, here’s Gill’s dream, which made me chuckle. Remember a few months back when I told you about the 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 …
Conference Calls In Real Life
I got this from someone at work, and I thought it deserved a post. It’s a video about what it would be like if all the remote meeting crap happened during in-person meetings. Apparently the visuals make it even better. When John’s on mute, his mouth is going a mile a minute and he’s sitting …
And I Even Wrote This Post
I’m cursed to be followed by this Belvita commercial. The thing is way too catchy…and it’s too easy to start singing it while you’re trying to get things done. But 2 things: If she’s supposed to be so energized by these biscuits, why does she sound like she’s half dead? And, why at the end …
A Belated Happy 40th Birthday To Global Television
I didn’t realize it, but Global Television turned 40 this year. It signed on on January 6th, 1974. Here’s a video history it put together on itself when it turned 25. Neat to see all that old footage, some of it for the first time. First 25 years of Global Television By the way, does …

Lean Forward…And Silence The Woman Talking About Important Things
Yesterday, I got to be impressed with our local CTV news for the first time in a while. I was worried leading up to 6 o’clock that they would lead with Justin Bieber because he’s from around here, but instead they went with things much more important (the Quebec seniors’ home fire, to be specific). …

Why ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas Is A Stupid, Stupid Poem
This is either a way too late or ridiculously early Christmas post. However you choose to look at it, enjoy. It’s amusing. Alan Cross Dissects The Night Before Christmas
