When I see a sign, a rule or a warning that I think is unnecessary, I often think of the idiot that did the something that made them put up the sign. “Please turn knob to open door” was inspired by someone who could not use a handle, at least not without direction. Idiots don’t […]

I’m sharing this story for comics. I’ve told it privately before but I’m putting it down. I was headlining the Riviera. I usually did the middle spot but they had a cancelation at the last minute. It was very, very, cool. It was a week long gig, two shows many nights. 300 seat room. Often […]

The Ghomeshi scandal is twisting and turning to a new ugly shade of grey every day. The serial nature of his violence against women is at the very core of […]
A Toronto Maple Leaf fan is suing Maple Leaf owners Roger’s Entertainment Group for emotional distress. Forty six year old Dustin Simmons was born in 1968 and has never seen his home town heroes hoist the Stanley Cup in celebration. Simmons is claiming that the longtime Maple Leaf slogan “Go Leafs Go!!!” has caused severe […]
Some friends of ours, Steve and Nancy just had a baby daughter. It got me thinking. When our first child was born, like many couples, we split the night feeding shifts. Baby Ronin’s schedule was to feed at 11:30 p.m. (which I did so my wife could go to bed earlier) and 4:30 a.m. (which […]
