Similar to that John Denverish video I just posted, this is “In Da Club”, performed beautifully by the late great Conway Fitty with a little help from “Tight Fittin’ Jeans”.

Country Pigs
It’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads”, but it’s also “War Pigs”. Not much else to say, really.
The Best News Bloopers Of August, 2024
Decent crop of innuendo this time out. And I feel the same way about cold fronts quite often.
Come And Get Your Shit Wrecked By A Mental Floss Quiz
Unless you’re in one of the areas that has a PA day today for reasons that no one seems to understand, happy first day of school. I’ve talked before about the wee bit of sadness this time of year always brings, but I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned the bit of relief that also …

All Is Well At The Animal Prison
I have breaking news, everyone. The orangutan that got out of its enclosure at the Toronto Zoo this week did not escape. It merely “accessed an area just outside of its habitat.” Phew! That was close! The oddest part about that sentence is that there were no quotes around it until I put them there, …
How Did They Keep It To 20?
A little while back, we were out to dinner with some people and unfortunately the conversation somehow turned to Trump. “The nicest thing that I can say about Donald Trump is that he’s a complete buffoon,” I recall telling the group at one point. “It’s all down hill from there.” Things like this are why …
Audio Of CHML Signing Off
I’m a little surprised we got this given how abruptly things ended, but this is audio of the final newscasts and promos from the day CHML died, capped off by the pulling of the plug. I don’t know what happened at 10 o’clock. Was it technical problems or did we throw to the news while …
Let’s Have A Quick Pickle
I’m a big fan of pickles on burgers. Relish too, for that matter. But if you substitute those two things for lettuce and tomatoes (especially tomatoes), I 100% understand where these poor folks are coming from. And before anyone asks, yes, I’m fine with ketchup. Ketchup is different than tomatoes. Ditto tomato sauce. The problem …
A Chorus Of Boos For Corus, For Killing 900 CHML
Corus has laid off tons of people across the country and axed some pretty major things lately (Entertainment Tonight Canada and Big Brother Canada, for instance), but pulling the plug on CHML was one I wasn’t expecting when it happened out of the blue two weeks ago. The reasons for its demise should be all …

Well Shoot
I like it when the master criminal stories are nice and simple. The victim was located on scene suffering from a gunshot wound and transported to the hospital where he later died. The suspect, identified as 43-year-old Gilbert Vermillion, was apprehended after falling out of his moving vehicle in an attempt to flee the scene, …
