Now, I get this relationship thing.
And it only took an explanation from Brad Paisley to set me straight-ish. Gee, if I only knew 10 years ago what I know now. Well gee. If I knew back then what I know now, there might have been a slightly different ending to a past relationship or two. … Read the rest

From the spam box: they don’t come much more random.
I just had the pleasure of being treated to a very unusually unique spam comment. This one was caught just a few minutes ago, posted to an entry I put up here a couple weeks ago. Usually, they’re a little more vague than this. And sometimes, they’re even slightly related … Read the rest

A random stroke of sort of Google luck.
My open letter to Ontario’s premier has earned me currently the 20th ranked spot in a Google search for ontario government minimum wage. Apparently, the highest position I’ve achieved with this post is 5. Will I get back up there, or is it out for good? I are curious.… Read the rest

Yes, but does it have a place to put my eyebrows?
Why I should not be awake at this hour: I end up getting sideswiped by amusing things posted to Youtube. Like this from “Who’s Line Is It Anyway”, the UK edition, that was tossed at me on a chat server. By the way, Lea, I still can’t breathe. Here, have … Read the rest

The trekky in me just squeed. A lot.
I’ve been a Star Trek fan since I was, like, tiny. Not entirely sure exactly how old, but I do remember coming home from school, watching the usual cartoons, then changing the channel to CHRO–this was obviously way way back before things like A Channel and the like–to watch TNG. … Read the rest

Making the case for a single timezone.
After a recent thread on Twitter–not one, thankfully, I was involved in–I thought it might be fun to air out a theory of mine. specificly that of one timezone. I don’t see why, beyond the method of keeping track of where the sun’s at at any particular moment. It’s noon, … Read the rest

And here I thought the male stereotype was a myth.
You can’t go a week in some circles without hearing some crack or another about the guy always wanting sex, and the girl not being interested. I mean hell, it’s a comedian’s default line, if he’s got nothing else. One wonders sometimes where it is they come up with it–I … Read the rest

Because you just can’t say no to free stuff.
Well, I can’t, anyway. I get emails from Maple Leafs Sports and Entertainment, to do with everything from the results of the last game to major trading/other such news relating to my team. Yes, even though the said team couldn’t play their way out of a game with a 25 … Read the rest

If you thought old age security was bad before, do not read this.
A 67-year-old guy, supposedly receiving old age benefits in Calgary, Alberta, has apparently made an attempt to rob a bank. Armed with, of all things, a fork. Clearly, someone should be talking to our government about maybe increasing how much he’s getting paid from the Canada Pension Plan. He … Read the rest

How do you like your coffee? Crisp!
Jessica and I got to talking a couple days ago, and we somehow got on the topic of old-ish commercials. Particularly, that early 90’s or so commercial for coffee crisp. Turns out, she’s never seen it. Ever. For my part, I forgot how it went. Fortunately, the internet knows all. … Read the rest
