Apparently this young man has made a nice little YouTube career out of evicting invasive fire ants from backyards. How does he do this? The dude POURS MOLTEN ALUMINUM IN…

Please let it happen, Canadian Pacific.
So this news just popped up on one of my news feeds. The Canadian Country Music Association has awarded the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train the 2021 Gary Slaight Music Humanitarian Award, and will be honored during Country Music Week later this year in London, Ontario.

Read MoreThat’s one muscular pumpkin, son.
Last Saturday, I drove out to Syracuse to pick up my New York State Fair photos (and the three ribbons associated with same). On my way back home, I stopped at a couple of farmer’s markets and country stores for some homegrown veggies and whatnot. And in one of my favorite little “driving stops” –…
Read MoreThat Beach Boys mondegreen can get mon-de-violent.
Kurt Busiek is a very famous comic book artist. You might know him from books like Astro City and Arrowsmith; he’s one of the people that created the legendary Thunderbolts comic series (which, by the way, why aren’t the Thunderbolts in the MCU yet?).

I’m sorry, but I can’t resist a little juvenile humor today. This came up on my Twitter feed, and it made me smile.

Read MoreWhat can you do in 4,383 days?
Hmm. In 4,383 days, you could… Own a vintage 1991 Pontiac 6000, watch the car die, replace it with a 2005 Saturn Ion, watch that car have electrical spasms, replace it with a 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt SS, drive it until the car gets destroyed on a North Carolina highway, and then continue on with a…

Apparently this is now the new viral trend. And it’s a painful one at that. Here’s how it works. A set of plastic milk crates are stacked into a pyramid. The goal is to walk up the pyramid of milk crates and walk down the pyramid of milk crates. Sounds simple, right? Yeah, no. As…

Saturday Night Live has made superstars out of its cast of actors and comedians. The opportunity to be part of the “Not Ready for Prime Time Players” is a springboard to an amazing career. And finding that next talented actor or actress may be difficult, but in the end, those that make the cut are…
Read MoreHow to pronounce where we live (for all you out-of-townies).
This happens a lot. Actually, a lot more than we expect. Because whenever a big story happens in the Capital District (such as, oh, I don’t know, our Governor resigning), the entire nation’s news crew shows up and does live reports from the steps of the Capitol building. And, invariably, those who come from out…
Read MoreThe answer is, “Your mother’s panty hose.”
I get a lot of these questions on Facebook lately. And they’re not from my FB friends, but they’re from responses that my FB friends have made to various questions posed by other FB people. You’ve seen them. They’re questions like… “What would I find if I looked on top of your fridge?” “What was…
