Going with the knee as the issue (not that I’d ever want to get punched in the head to disprove my theory or anything).

Honestly, I simply forgot it was on. I’d seen a few promo spots during the week, my daughter has been trying to cram in the last few Best Picture nominees over the last few weeks ... but the night came and went and it didn’t even occur to me to put it on.

$35 Canadian, so yeah, $20 bucks.

Agreed. And sadly, the writing appears to be writ large for the next provincial election. The NDP will get swept out (because the fall in oil prices tanking our economy and making building private enterprise pipelines a bad investment was somehow their fault) and Jason Fucking Kenny will get in ... and proceed to…

Ugh. Bourne was quoted as saying “... the hockey match”. No one says that. It’s a game. A hockey game.

This is an excellent piece. Now, instead of just hating Levine because of his drecky music, I can hate him because he’s an asshole too. Keep up the good work.

Dilly Dilly!

Way worse - from a “violating a friend’s trust” - to sleep with his daughter.  Sleeping with the mom will eventually end up with “how fucking drunk were you anyway?”, but the daughter likely wouldn’t ever be forgiven.

But, the airlines make that problem worse by making it uneconomical to pay for the upgrade.
