Perhaps there are people who do a technically better one, but Seth Meyers does my favourite Donald Trump impression. Admittedly I haven’t seen every Trump impersonator there is, but nobody I’ve seen does quite as good a job of capturing just how weird and out to lunch the guy can be. As an example, I …

The Sony CFS-C7 CHORDMACHINE
I have no idea what 1982 Sony was trying to create here. It seems a bit too sophisticated to have been intended as a toy, but nowhere near sophisticated enough to be taken seriously as any sort of musical instrument or recording device. It occupies a strange space somewhere in between, and therefore winds up …
It Sure Sounds Like The Ford Government Is Fixing To Screw Over All Of Our Education Workers
They haven’t come right out and said it, but you don’t just have the province’s education minister toss a column into a widely read newspaper especially not one with a conservative slant like the Toronto Sun that’s going to be sympathetic to an anti-union message without having some sort of inclination in that direction. Yes, …
Industria Pizzeria And Bar
Gill is back with another Hamilton area restaurant suggestion. This one sounds like it’s right in my wheelhouse. I must tell you about this excellent place downtown I went to last night. It’s not only a pizzeria, but a bar. Located at 69 John Street South here in Hamilton, Industria Pizzeria and Bar is definitely …
Gotta Fire ‘Em All
Sometimes I watch the news and I ask myself damn, what does it take for a cop to get fired? Christ, I’ve seen them straight up murder people who couldn’t have possibly posed a threat to them and get little if anything in the way of professional repercussions in return. But today, while going through …
Journey And Solo Steve Perry Narrate Your Day
This one’s kind of hit and miss, but the Smoke Alarms bit made me laugh. The damn thing even fooled me into getting pissed off for a second when I thought it was our actual smoke detector about to go off for no reason when neither of us in the house could deal with it. …

It’s Personal (Updates On Gill’s Mom)
Jesus, Gill. When it rains it pours for you, doesn’t it? As ever, you and the rest of the family are in our thoughts. And if I can offer one piece of advice, it would be don’t blame yourself for any of this. It’s tempting to let our minds run wild at times like these, …
Can Can, Can You Play In This Orchestra, You 3-Year-Old Music Playing Kid
When I was three years old I couldn’t put on my own pants and shoes. This kid is drumming in an orchestra. He even gets a solo! His name is Lyonya Shilovsky, and you can read more about him here. Lyonya was led out by his father and was dressed perfectly for the occasion. He …

Imbecile/Arsehole
I asked a question on Twitter a few minutes ago upon seeing this. How are people so impossibly stupid and why do they insist on running for public office? God bless the Snopes people. All day every day they get to hear nothing but the dumbest things from everyone’s most out to lunch relatives and …
Don’t Suffer In Silence
New favourite ad jingle, right here. I howled, and not because I took his advice and decided not to suffer in silence. How many takes do you suppose it took to get this just the way they wanted it? “Can you put some more annunciation on Hemorrhoid Treatment Center and then try to hit them …
