| Absurdity in Signage: Most Important Meal of the Day . Sometimes you know what a sign is supposed to say, but due to tampering, vandalism, or good old sign guy negligence, it doesn't quite say that. This sign is missing an 'O' but it's a lot funnier without it. At least, I hope it's missing an 'O'. If not, well, I've clearly been eating my breakfast wrong for years. More . . .
A Thousand Words, Volume XX III. It's that time again. It's been a few months since the last edition of A Thousand Words, but everyone loves funny photos, especially when accompanied by equally, if not even funnier, captions.

May I Help You? Vol . 3. Hi. I'm Mike. I know, I know. . . I look familiar. This could be because I have worked several jobs where you were my customer or something like that. Yep, now you remember.

In the intro to that rant several Canadian traditions were listed, traditions such as passion for hockey, obsession with weather, and vexation with the CBC. And if the title to this article didn't give it again, we are once again back on the subject of Canada's national public broadcaster. More. . .

This is a feature about the latter. About, as the title says, one hit wonders. There have been many of these of course, so I'm only going to look at some of the more memorable ones.
