The weirdest Canadian television show that I have ever watched is and will always be Lexx. And Canadians should be proud to have birthed that space oddity.
Well, anyway, that's my two cents.

If it weren't for the hours wasted getting the thing to act like a normal printer, I could have written the great American novel and the first draft of a screenplay based on said novel. Instead, I bide my time looking for a reasonably priced replacement.
But to be fair, it's only 10 years old.

Buy a printer that just works?
Where's the fun in that? I absolutely adore it when my HP Officejet Pro 6835 decides to have a hissy fit and refuse to scan, copy, or (fax disabled, no landline). Then it will refuse to shut down like a petulant child determined to stay up past its bedtime.

I've seen some pretty bizarre and nasty wine labels in the short time that I ran the "beer garden" at a local grocery store. It isn't the label that it is keeping it on the shelf - it's that ridiculously high price for what is probably a shit wine.

I don't understand why the MAGAts think we have a problem with that. Oh, wait, it is "projection", isn't it?
Here's your daily reminder that every accusation is a confession.

Every primary election, even if it's for dogcatcher, I look for candidates that lean left. If you keep electing the leftmost candidates, you eventually end up with actual left candidates.

Crush some garlic and drop a half stick of butter into the pan first. Give those pierogis some kick by adding sauerkraut to the pan with the onions and a generous amount of black pepper.
Or just toss the pierogis and onion into a casserole and nuke them. They're your pierogis.
