Feng shui is just a fancy excuse for having OCD.

Normal people put that La-z-boy chair wherever the hell they want.

Like facing the TV and the beer fridge.

My new band

If you find the time, come watch my new band.

It's called OCDC.

We spend 2 hours positioning the equipment just perfectly on the stage and then the show is over.

Good family entertainment. No bad language. No politics.

Beer's $30 a cup, though.

Spill it and you're dead.

Also wash your hands before you come.

The duplicative times we live in

Aren't you impressed with our new unelected leader?

Mark Carney.

Yesterday he blew me away with his intellectual skill and prowess as a leader. He used the word "duplicative" in a sentence. That's banker talk.

I had to look it up…and it's a cool word. I had my wife look it up too which, once I knew the meaning, I realized was duplicative of me.

It means to duplicate things, like spending and resources. Apparently it's important now to get rid of government duplicating things. It's a waste of resources. Unless you're at Staples and you need duplicates of your marriage licence or your immigration status. That's allowed. And duplicating people. We need a higher birth rate.

I guess it hasn't occurred to him that the CBC, which the government pays 1.2 billion for every year, might be a duplication of all the other tv channels we have. But getting rid of the CBC and Tim Hortons would be a lobotomization of the Canadian spirit.

But we do need to duplicate more family doctors and nurses. Hey, I know where you can get your hands on 1.2 billion.

I thought it was duplicitous times we lived in but I guess it's really duplicative. You can see how easy it is to confuse that. You can see how easy it is to confuse that. You can see how easy it is to confuse that. 

Meanwhile, there's poor Pollyeve. Pollyviril? Pollyvirus? With his arch nemesis gone, he thought he was running against Art Carney and has been watching The Honeymooners non-stop with Doug the Slug to get dirt on his opponent. Now that the carbon tax is gone, I guess we'll be carbon dating PPs usefulness.

And the NDP?

Who?

Happy voting.

Wrong Planet

The rescued astronauts shocked everyone today by expressing outrage at coming home.

Did we say earth? Did we? Did we say we wanted to come back here?

They were hoping for a nice sane planet in the constellation Caelum, even though it takes 2 billion years to get there and house prices are even worse.

Mad Max: Battery Done Died

Normally I can't stand movie sequels. 

Save for a few – The Godfather 2 obviously, some of the Alien movies.

But generally, if I were a movie maker I'd stay far away from sequels, especially when they're based on an already great movie.

The only exception I'll make is when a great idea for a script comes along, like the one I've written.

It's called Mad Max: Battery Done Died.

Get this.

Takes place in the future, after an apocalypse, like Trump's second term in office. Or maybe his third.

It's all evil gangs and electric cars.

The electric cars are trying to chase each other down and terrorize each other and it's complete mayhem.

But no one can find a charging station out in the middle of nowhere. So the cars and evil gangs sit around waiting. Until society changes from its addiction to oil and there's more charging stations.

I'm optioning it to several studios as I write. Haven't heard back yet. Weird!

Stay tuned at a movie theatre near you!

The Artful DOGER

Coming to America.

Okay, it's already here.

The Artful DOGER, starring Elon Musk.

He's the leader of Trump's gang. Picks your pocket on your way out the door from being fired.

Can sing a tune, too.

Runs for 4 years. Maybe 8!

Let's get pissed

It is said that Trump is really Putin's dog.

If that's true, and he wants to own Canada, Greenland, the Panama Canal, the Gaza strip and perhaps the entire globe, why doesn't he just pee on them?

That's what my dog does to secure ownership. The whole neighbourhood knows he owns it.

And hey, isn't there a theory that some Russian hookers peed on him?

That must be Putin's way of owning him.

For more political commentary, stay tuned.

Tonight the planets are all in a row for the last time until 2040.

Coincidentally, all my ducks are in a row too. If you stand out in your backyard you might be able to see them. Won't happen again until I'm dead.

It's so astrocalogical.

I'm melting

The Toronto Mayor expressed dissatisfaction with the snow removal services, vowing to review the contract.

In a miraculous event scientists can't explain, all the snow suddenly melted.

People reported seeing terrified expressions in huge piles of snow, especially the piles 20 feet and higher.

Superman's surcharge

Superman wanna be


Donald Trump just announced that the tariffs on steel will, indeed, apply to the man of steel.

Superman is not happy!

He will now have to apply a surcharge for all his mighty deeds.

Caught on a runaway train driven by an evildoer? Be prepared to pay up. And before he saves you.

If the entire earth needs saving? You can't afford it, buddy.

In a flyby protest, Superman zipped over the White House and dropped turkeys. Of course he knows they can't fly.

"Let's slap tariffs on kryptonite", Superman pleaded.

As of last night, Superman was seen beating up Elon Musk with a Mercedes hood ornament and it was going very well.

My car is a loner

Finally got my dream Tesla.

Weird, though. Last night it took itself for a drive. All alone.

I woke up at 2:30 am.

Where are you going?

For a drive, you moron.

Without me?

Who needs you?

But I paid for you!

Take it up wth Musk. I'm outta here.

It took the "Baby on Board" sign off the car and put on "No one on Board".

Parallels

Today I had to parallel park. It's never easy but this time I ended up on a person's front lawn, parallel to their bushes.

That got me thinking.

I wonder if people who live in a parallel universe are good at parallel parking.

Kinda makes sense they are.

Instead of Instagram they probably have Parallelogram.

Neat!

You're fired!



Been wondering why there are some many fires on the TTC? And always at rush hour.

An in-depth, uncompromising and unbiased docmentary by the CBC has uncovered the truth.

Drew Barrymore is the actual CEO of the TTC.

Funding for the CBC will immediately be doubled so that unanswered questions can be answered: why burn the TTC when the London Underground is far more prestigious?; why wasn't she in Firestarter 2?; is she really addicted to Reese's Pieces? 

That's the spirit, Toronto! Get fired up about the truth.

The new TTC

The TTC will be changing its name.

It used to be the Toronto Transit Commission.

It's now called the Toronto Transitory Commission.

Transitory means brief or short lasting.

And that's what your subway ride will be. Because they're on their 70th year of repairing it.

Terms like "track work", "electrical issues", "fire", "raccoon", "police activity", "oil spill", "shuttle buses", "paint drying", "lunch break" and "we're tired of fixing it" are regular terms every TTC employee practices saying every day on the job.

Instead of saying TTC, please say the entire name out loud so we all know the truth.

If you really need to get to work, work in London, England. The London Underground, established in 1863, continues to hum along and is 2 billion times larger than the Toronto Transitory Commission.

Freeland ride

If you look closely, and I have, you'll notice something strange about the "new" Chrystia Freeland running for the Liberal leadership.

That's right. It's Justin Trudeau in drag. Trying to sneak back into office.

This is all backed up on TikTok.

Clever guy. Girl. Bit too much lipstick if you ask me.

But at least he opted out of the blackface.

Presto chango

Remarkable. On Trump's first day in office he has 100 executive orders lined up to be…executed.

He also wants to execute more people. I wonder if they'll get the two confused.

I really don't think he can do it. 100 is wayyyy too many.

It's just like when I first moved in with my wife.

She had 100 chores ready for me to…execute.

I managed to get the vacuum plugged in and then required a nap. Suddenly it was the next day. Good thing executing your spouse is not allowed.

So even though you're excited about the positive change In Washington, don't plan on things happening so fast.
