Canada’s Most Reliably Awful Company

I’m going to largely letthis articlespeak for itself and only say that if there was a better option for internet, TV and cell phone service around here, I’d switch in a heartbeat.

United Breaks Careers

Back a while ago, we talked about Dave Caroll’s United Breaks Guitars song, and song 2. Somehow we missed song 3 coming out. It came out in March of this year. Well, better late than never, here’s song 3. It’s a good song, but it isn’t crawling into my head like the other two. Maybe …

Yeah, because mascara is a damn necessity of …

Bank Want A Lawsuit?
