So I’m watching Saturday Night Live for the first time in ages and Ben Stiller, whom I generally enjoy, is doing an admirable job as host and I’m enjoying the Zoolander gags and Weekend Update is pretty good and then the musical guest comes on. A…

We took my visiting in-laws to the farmers market last week and bought a bushel of sweet red peppers. My mother-in-law couldn’t figure what the heck I was going to do with them all or how we could eat a whole bushel before they spoiled. Fortunately, I …

Poor, poor Dick Cheney. He feels he has been grievously wronged and is waiting for an apology. How dare the uppity Keyan Muslim socialist usurper suggest that President Cheney and his fatuous meatpuppet Dubya (who is either too drunk to be allowe…

Apparently all it takes is an airline passenger eating a dodgy burrito before the flight to make NORAD shit its pants. Given what it costs to scramble an F-16 and have it fly from Denver to New York, al-Quaida could probably bankrupt the United States …

the woodshed: Mammoliti will protect our precious bodily fluids
Toronto city councillor George “Giorgio” Mammoliti (he changed his name in 2002 from English to Italian to better reflect his desire to suck up to immigrant voters in his ward Italian heritage) has apparently finally made the full journey from populist…

We eat a lot of instant ramen noodles here at the Woodshed. I wish to the FSM they would stop calling these little packets of instant noodles “ramen” since they bear little or no resemblance to the wonderful steaming bowls of marvellous broth piled hig…
