Attaboy, Mark!
I always get a good chuckle out of This Week in Unnecessary Censorship, but when this one got to the part about the UFC champion I thought I was going to cry. I was going to start the embed at that segment, but really, just watch the whole thing. It’s another case of comedians making …
The Artful Codger
This randomly popped up in my YouTube feed, so I thought I’d share it. I like being able to do my part to help out a hot young comic. I wasn’t familiar with Andy Huggins, but hopefully I’ll get to see more before he runs out of time.
What An Idiot It Is
Normally I don’t have a lot of time for people who complain that true but unflattering things about them can be easily Googled (we don’t edit Hitler out of the war footage because it makes his family feel bad), but the key word there is true. Because while it’s one thing to have to wear …
What Else Would It Be About
Landslide was already a great song, but the educational component really puts it over the top, I think. I’ll be taking cover, too.
Giving In The Name
One thing I’ve never been able to get my head around is why on earth anyone would donate to a charity in someone elses’ name as a Christmas present. It’s a terrible gift. Not because you don’t wind up getting any stuff, although I will admit to having that thought as a child. the problem …
This Is Definitely The Eighth Day. Maybe
This is 100% me right now. The only difference is that I haven’t known what day it is since December 20th when my birthday ended. It was easier to sort it out then than it’s been since we left for family Christmas on the 24th, though. Jesus. Every day away felt like it should be …
I Have To Take Bell’s Side On Something And I Hate It

Oh, So You Like Soccer, Do You? Well Then How’s About You Show Me Your Balls!
I’m sure the Elon Musk factor explains a lot of this (his AI does think it’s Hitler and that that’s a positive, after all), but it’s hard to imagine how we got from where we started to where we finished here. A Toronto mom says things took an unpredictable turn when her 12-year-old son asked …

You Ruined Everything! BOOOOOOOOO!
I enjoyed this. Enjoyed it a lot more than I enjoyed how the damn World Series turned out, that’s for sure. Thanks a lot, Freeman. Such a clown. We never thought we'd cheer for @FreddieFreeman5 either, but here we are. He's grown on us. Kind of like @VancityReynolds' sweater. 😉 Help Ryan Help @SickKidsNews. Donate …
