Remember Ted Turner’s Music Video Channel? Me Neither
If you’re watching these ads right now and thinking to yourself what in the heck is this? I’ve never heard of the Cable Music Channel, don’t feel bad. Until now I hadn’t heard of it either, and not just because I was 4 years old when it launched on October 26th, 1984. I’m pretty sure …

1990s Eric Bischoff Wishes He Could Have Done This
Here’s a weird one. For decades, I’ve wished that we could get the USA Network in Canada so that I could see all of the WWE shows without all the preemptions and wonky scheduling that we get up here. That crap was a lot worse back in the TSN and syndication days to be fair, …

Finally! You Can Gift Patreon Time To A Friend! You’re Welcome
Obviously I’m not trying to take full credit for this development, but yeah, I might deserve a little. Since I put this up during lockdown Christmas it’s been one of the more consistently visited pages on the entire site, so you’re not convincing me it didn’t help move things along, even if that movement did …

And now, I present you with your new favourite Christmas song, at least if you’re from the sane half of America and are stuck being Santa to people who aren’t. Fuuuuuuuck yoooooouuuuuu!
No OnionWars For Now
I was very, very excited when it was first announced that The Onion was going to be buying InfoWars. But it looks like I’ll have to put a lid on that excitement for now, because a judge has just rejected the bid on procedural and transparency grounds. The door isn’t closed on the Onion folks …
Ba Da Ba Ba Ball
Man. Why can’t this fella ever be my delivery guy? Half the time it’s all the ones around here can do to get it all the way up to my apartment rather than just dumping it in the unsecured vestibule and hoping for the best. Officials just stopped the Loyola Chicago-Duquesne game because an Uber …
Disco Gunther, Reggae Cena And Other AI Wrestling Tunes
Like I said to Barb when she sent this, if this tech had been around back in the days when most of my friends liked wrestling we would have wasted so many hours doing this it’s not even funny. The title is a bit misleading, though. They’re not improving wrestling theme songs as much as …

Today In Rotten Baseball Ideas: The Golden At-Bat
The Golden At-Bat rule could give MLB a new shine. But is it worth it? I don’t remember where this theory came from and I’m too lazy to try looking it up, but for years I’ve heard people say that when a headline ends with a question, the answer is almost always no. This is …
