Ro tipped me off to this story yesterday (Look at me, remembering to credit people twice in a row!), and said she’d never heard of something like it happening before. I know I have, and I’m pretty sure at least one case of it is on the site somewhere. Carin,this is the part where I …

Voting, Accessible Voting And A Voting Song Of Questionable Enjoyability
We spent a decent little chunk of time a few weeks back on different versions of Jolene. It was fun, so let’s revisit it, shall we? Only this time we’ll do so in topical parody form, because of course there would be a version made for the upcoming Ontario election. I wonder who this guy’s …

Moms
Yeah…this is a sign of how absolutely nuts this last month has been. Gill sent this to us, and it was supposed to be a Mother’s Day post. She sent us material, and we were too friggin insane busy to get it up on the site. It’s now June 1, and here it is. Um…I …
Thoughts And Dreams
Gill has decided to write a wee bit more about her late friend Eric Williams. In 2006 Eric and I were having one of our all night chats when he suggested that James Bond would be cool if he was black. I must admit to agreeing with him and saying, “I would plop my rear …
Police Have Charged Him With His Name, Essentially
Michelle passed this along with the subject line “best name for a flasher ever.” If it’s not the best, it’s certainly waaaaaaaaaaay up there. Ottawa man with Indecent Act and Mischief (Ottawa) – The Ottawa Police Service Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Section have charged a 62 year old Ottawa man following an incident at …

In Memoriam
Gill wrote this about a good friend who died suddenly and tragically last week. Recently I learned the tragic circumstances relating to the death of a friend of mine. His name was Eric and he lived in Austin Texas. In this I will talk of a few things about him. How We Met It began …
I’m Going To Hit Some Bicycles, I’m Going To Kill A Tike. And When I Hit Those Bicycles, I’m Going To Sue Them If I’d Like
For some reason I’m really crappy at remembering to give shoutouts to people who send me things. So before I forget, thanks again, Michelle! I don’t think this one quite hits the state of emergency dickitry levels of police officer sues family of man he killed, but you certainly do have to be somewhere in …
Hardware Store
I thought about putting this one up earlier when I saw it the first time, but didn’t. But now that it’s found me twice… A woman goes into the small-town hardware store and tells the owner she needs a drawer pull handle to replace a broken one. He gets out one that matches her description …
Cool Factor
Here again is Gill, this time talking about people, places and things she thinks are cool. Somehow, I was not mentioned. A simple oversight I’m sure. Have you ever met people who just seem to spread coolness where ever they go, or whatever they do? Have you also wondered about those places with it as …
Mom Likes You More
Here’s Gill with an interesting question. I can’t honestly say I’ve ever felt any more or less favoured than anyone else in the family at least not any time it ever would’ve counted for anything, but I’m sure it does happen. It’s human nature to have favourites and to get along with some people better …
