Back in 2018, I couldn’t stop singing Aira’s praises. I still appreciate the Aira agents, but last week, their executives made a really bad move and they’re going to spend a lot of time trying to recover. At the end of last year, they were warning us that their prices were going to increase. It …

You probably know this already, but I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Even if you’re certain you’ve heard the stupidest thing you’re ever going to hear, there’s always going to be a stupider one waiting for you just around some corner somewhere. Today’s example comes to us by way of the …

Ask For The Blue Box, And Then Dump The Paper This Is Written ON Into It
This lawsuit here is the kind of thing that should cause you to be disqualified from ever using the court system again and cost your lawyer his license. Specifically his law license, but if you want to take his driver’s license or dog license or any other license you can think of while you’re at …

Twitter Is Doing Great. If It Could Tweet, It Would Tell You As Much
The Elon Musk takeover of Twitter is going even better than I expected. Hate speech is on the rise, advertisers are leaving in droves, half the company got fired and then some of them got asked to come back because they were either laid off by accident or found to be more important than anticipated, …

That Big Bang You Heard Was Dad’s Head Exploding
Have you ever seen someone try to flick a cigarette butt out of a speeding car but it blows back in and lands somewhere and then there’s a frantic search and moment of panic while everyone looks for it and puts it out? I remember my dad hitting me with one of those once when …

Now is the time to take a second to mock myself, apologize to some poor unfortunate soul, and allow everyone else to mock me too. So last year, I got some stocks. I got my account set up on the place where they’re stored. It was a process and a half, but I did it. …
I’m Starting To Think I’m Being Taken For A Ride. What Do I Look Like, A Trailer?
I’ve never sold anything large like a trailer across the U.S. Canada border, so I’m not going to judge the idea that it could perhaps take a while to get things done or that there could be a few snags along the way too harshly. But there’s one line here that jumped straight out at …

Let’s Get Together…For a Breath Test
You’ll never guess what a woman who handed the cops an LCBO gift card instead of her driver’s licence during a traffic stop was arrested for. Either that or it’ll be about as easy as the collar itself. Who can say? An Orangeville-area female was arrested for impaired driving in Guelph Friday morning after handing …
