Dogs sense sarcasm 1
My dog Mojo took a huge spill tonight. I called her to come to me and she ran full speed ahead toward me on the pavement. Her paw got caught in a sewer drainage and she flipped in the air, landed on her side, and rolled into the curb on the driveway. She got up ...
George Carlin on New Orleans 1
I came across what I think is a ridiculous and insensitive fictional email floating around that claims to be George Carlin speaking about New Orleans. This one really got under my skin. It’s completely ignorant and disrespectful to the hundreds of people who died in New Orleans in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina. Here are ...
One in a million 1
Last night we saw Panic and the Rebel Emergency open for 54-40 at Lee’s Palace. When cousin Tony (He’s not really my cousin, we just call him that) was getting dressed to go out last night, I doubt he had any idea that somebody else at the club would be wearing the exact same shirt ...
Taxi Cab Frustration 1
One of my biggest pet peeves is Taxi Cab drivers who don’t turn their taxi lights off when they have a customer in the car. I’ve always had the understanding that the whole point of a taxi cab having a light on top of their car is to indicate to potential customers whether they are ...
Peeing on ice cubes 3
Sometimes when bars need to dispose of ice cubes, they dump them in the urinals. Nothing is more satisfying than going to a urinal and peeing on a pile of ice cubes. The ice cubes melt really fast, and it’s a good challenge to see how many cubes you can melt in one session.

Jim Ralph the whiner
I sent an email to Jeff Marek the Director of Sports Programming on AM640 Toronto Radio. I was sick and tired of Jim Ralph’s complaining during Toronto Maple Leaf games. Hi Jeff, Something has bothered me for a couple years now about Jim Ralph. I had never felt it necessary to mention to anyone, but ...
Florida’s new "Stand your Ground" Law
On October 1st, Florida passed the new “Stand your ground” law based on House Bill 0249. This law has received recent media attention because a group, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence based in Washington has been handing out leaflets to tourists entering Florida to warn them that they may not be safe.

Goodbye Grandma 3
At 5:10AM this morning, Grandma Schwartz passed away at age 82 in a relatively painless death while holding the hands of her son Dean, daughter Dawn, and grandson Geoff. In one last act of unselfesh kindness, she held on to her life long enough to say goodbye to her Grandaughter Amy and husband Frank who ...
