I didn’t really think about it until I started actually writing the post, but it seems like we’re stuck on something of a theme lately. Week 10 had the horse and lady. Week 11 had Jimmy Olson riding a horse hot dog. Now this week we have a centaur. Sheesh. No horses next week. I …Read More

Switching around the letters on signage always gives me a chuckle, and let’s face facts: when you name something the Angus Burger you’re just asking for trouble. It’s why Pac-Man’s name was changed from Puck-Man — vandals are a creative breed. Besides, it reminds me of the opening to every Fawlty Towers, and Fawlty Towers …Read More

Last week I went for a real stumper. I picked a picture that I couldn’t possibly come up with a caption for, and as of this writing 68 of you have come out to prove me wrong and give us a great caption! This week I thought I’d up the ante. Again, I have no …Read More

I was doing a little reading on our nation’s past today like every good Canadian should from time to time, and I stumbled across something I’d never seen before — this flag. And while I know what it is now due to the context of the article I was reading, I would have had no …Read More

I stumbled across this photo sometime last summer and it always makes me smile — especially because I’m a friend of a friend of the guy in the Blanka outfit. I came across this on a friend’s Facebook, andfrom what I can tell it was taken during karaoke night at the Boston Pizza on Morrison …Read More

It’s not quite McDonald’s, but seeing this video brought back memories of a McDonald’s Monday post from a few months back that featured a couple getting married under the big arches.
