Helloooo Newman: Under the influencer
Under the influencer
If I'm an influencer and a cop stops me for drinking and driving, am I allowed to be under the influence? Or, since I'm the influencer, maybe he's under the influence?
Dunno, but interesting.
I await the Supreme Court ruling.

Helloooo Newman: This street is closed
This street is closed
A guy I know complained that I wasn't being a good friend. Didn't call him enough.
Said friendship was a two-way street.
A two-way street? With the traffic in this city? Are you ill?
My friendship doesn't ride on streets that are clogged with cars and trucks and buses and e-bikes and scooters and cold food in a bag and gunfire and broken down buses. Want me to call you? Sorry, this street is closed for repairs.
My friendship skills aren't even a one-way street.
They're better described by the Eglinton Crosstown LRT.
Sorry, not open yet. Still building. And if it opens, it's closed for repairs.
Talk soon.

Helloooo Newman: Starbucks: My favourite restaurant
Starbucks: My favourite restaurant
Starbucks used to be for coffee. Now it's a place for people who crave a banana split and some caffeine.
It's really a DQ for tired people.
Some girl in there ordered half sugar? What are you, a half-wit? The sugar's already in everything. Even sugar coated coffee beans. Can I get double insulin?
Maybe it's even a restaurant. Incredibly, they offer a creme brûlée latte. That's flat-out dessert. I'll start with the caesar salad smoothie, the t-bone espresso, medium rare and the creme brûlée latte. Not a bad meal for $100.
And all the stupid names. Grande. Skinny latte. Is this a good time to be mentioning people's weight?
I'll have the skinny egg white sandwich and a fat beer.
Yesterday I asked the girl for a skinny ariana grande. Not just skinny. Starving. Undernourished. I have to lie down grande. Unconscious.
They don't offer that, she said.

Helloooo Newman: Ambulatory Alert
Ambulatory Alert
The heads of the TTC and Metrolinx were seen crying over a beer and wondering why ridership was down after telling customers to fuck off and walk home.
Helloooo Newman: TTC learns baseball
TTC learns baseball
The TTC apologizes for the lousy service Saturday night after the Jays game.
They learned that baseball players can be made to walk the bases, so naturally they assumed they could make their customers walk too.
What baseball fans! What Toronto spirit!
