It’s Friday! Mother Nature is still showing her bitchy side by serving up rainy day after miserable-fucking rainy day. The Chicagoland area has been stuck in this pattern for weeks now and it’s beginning to really get on my nerves. I hate to do this but if we don’t get some sun soon, I may be forced to perform my Drought Dance. That’s right, the Native Americans have their rain dance and I have my Drought Dance. 

Hey, it’s Mother’s Day this Sunday, so if you’re lucky enough to still have your mom around, don’t forget to pick up something nice for her or take her out. We always do brunch at a local country club. It’s nice because it’s easy to get everyone together there, it’s fancy but also casual,  and the food is spectacular. You can’t go wrong with that.

What happens when you take a Power Wheels Barbie Jeep, install a suspension, and drop in a CRF 450 motorcycle engine? A whole lot of fun, that’s what! Check out the video featured today and you’ll be wanting one of these for yourself, I know I do!

It must be Friday because the babes & jokes are doubled… enjoy!

It’s Thursday. What, don’t they have pickups in Ontario?

A baffling display of driving was caught on video late last week, with a driver carting a load of wood on the QEW with the rear doors of their car wide open.

In a video posted on Facebook by David Fafinski, the driver can be seen on the highway near the Red Hill Valley Parkway, heading toward the Burlington Skyway bridge.

In addition to the open back doors poking into adjoining lanes, the car’s trunk is also propped open, with what looks like a piece of furniture sticking out.

OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt told CBC News that he saw the video for the first time Tuesday morning.

“That’s an unsafe vehicle there. Doors open — who knows what could come flying out of there,” he said. “That’s not anything you ever expect to see on the highway.

“It’s just straight out ridiculous.”

Schmidt said it’s not the first time he’s seen something like this on a highway in the area. He once stopped the driver of a two-door sport coupe who was carting a couch with a door hanging open, held down only by a seatbelt, he said.

It’s unclear if the driver in this incident will face any ramifications. Schmidt said it’s difficult to make out the vehicle’s licence plate in the video, and he didn’t know if the incident was previously reported to police.

It’s Wednesday. Have you ever got a phone call from Microsoft telling you that your computer was infected by a nasty virus? Yeah, it’s a scam. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people out there who don’t know any better and fall victim to this scam, losing hundreds or even thousands of dollars. The people behind the scam are well organized and are often located outside of the United States, which makes it difficult for authorities to bust them. The video featured today was taken by someone inside one of these call centers, exposing how they operate, the software they use, and even who and where they are. Very interesting.
