Growing up we didn’t see much candy corn at all (in the Canadian prairies in the 70s), but entire generations grew up dreading and loathing their Canadian equivalent, molasses kisses.

The plural of “gyoza” is “gyoza”.  Source:  my mom, who makes the best gyoza on the planet.

This whole article reads like it was mis-pasted to the AVC instead of one of the content farms that spams the end of every article on this site, like “Post Fun” or “MoneyPail”. You can practically see where the network press release verbatim text starts and it’s so bland I’ve already forgotten what I’ve read. THANKS…

This is the most brilliant thing I’ll hear all day and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.  I’ve seen him live three or four times and I would love to see what he could do with a Superb Owl production scale.

I work for a large organization that a) is allergic to requirements gathering and b) went for a whole-hog implementation of ServiceNow with zero user testing and a hard deadline.  Ask me how the rip-off-the-band-aid non-transition from Remedy to ServiceNow went...

“With Nails” is great and REG is great and I really enjoyed this.  And I’m one of maybe a half-dozen people who saw “Pret-a-porter” in the theatre and although I don’t care to ever revisit it, I remember it being fun in the pre-internet days to try to figure out with my friends which fashion stars of the day were…

I’m gonna chalk up the “viola/voila” to autocorrect but here are some viola jokes that might be funnier than this movie:

Dammit, thanks for reminding me that Grape-Nuts haven’t been available here in Canada for years.

It feels like forever ago, but for a while Norm would tweet out stories one line at a time over the course of *days* on twitter and he managed to turn tweeting into a whole new form of art. Sometimes they were poignant, sometimes they were hilarious, and sometimes you weren’t sure *what* they were but you were always…

In the early days of twitter he actually had a book club that lasted for a hot minute. Days-long discussion of “The Brothers Karamazov” and Norm did not suffer fools.

But is Strombo still Canada’s boyfriend?

TIL to check if “Tony Leung” refers to “Big Tony” or “Little Tony” - thank you!

Does this count?  Because for a certain demo it’s the first movie that comes to mind with the name “Tony Leung”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lover_(1992_film)

Come to think of it, Braunohler would be fun to see. Lowkey with the occasional swing for the fences (qv the crowdfunded skywriting gag Elon Musk stole on twitter).

Norm Macdonald. Keep it Canadian. Failing that - his brother, veteran journo Neil Macdonald.

Seconded on the welcome return of WH in VA! And another great interview with another super-interesting interviewee.

My 70+ mom loves this show to this day - but only the first 10 seasons or so. The more specific and current the humour gets, the less appeal it has for her.  But damned if she’ll ever give up her beaded Cartman’s head change purse, her Mr. Hanky keychain or her Stan and Ike fridge magnet.

Meanwhile, in Edmonton...
