After work tonight, I paid my first visit to the home of **** and *****.  I'm keeping their identity secret, and you'll know why in a second. ***** asked me if I wanted to see her fat cat.  At first I thought it was a come-on, but then realized she wanted to show

I had some fun earlier this summer when the City of Toronto Photoshopped a black guy onto the cover of their Fun Guide. At least we added a black guy.  Microsoft got rid of the black guy when it came time to serve up a stock image for Poland. Here's

What an amazing week.  I couldn't have drawn this sucker on the board any better. One night I was playing my best series in years as my slo-pitch team surprisingly swept our semi-final and will now play for the divisional title.  It's the highest skill level division in this league

The car is packed, the kids are psyched and I'm hitting the road.  Consider me unplugged. In the interim, here are the five entries this month that have received the most comments thus far.  When you're done resolving these issues, get crackin' on world hunger. Toronto Safe Injection Sites: A

YouTube user Retrontario frequently uploads fantastic retro-Toronto-centric gems.  These clips never fail to bring back a ton of memories for me, so I feature them from time to time. Remember back in '85 when all those Buffalo hookers flooded our streets? Western New York cracked down on prostitution and Buffalo

My Kenyan birth certificate has been discovered. Those damn Birthers wouldn't rest until they proved Toronto Mike was actually born in Kenya. Make your own Kenyan birth certificate here.

Remember when I shared that comparison chart of the Coke and Pepsi logos? Brand New says I got it all wrong. They've revised it.  It would be inappropriate of me not to post Coca-Cola vs. Pepsi, Revised Edition.

I awoke to find a horse head in my bed. I now know how Jack Woltz felt.

On a Saturday morning in June, before heading off to Edgefest, I pondered a simple question aloud.  Should I ban OJ Boy?.  As I wrote that morning, I had grown tired of the constant stench of humourless misery and holier-than-thou judgement. Throughout the day you left comments. Eventually, at about

Here are the logos of Coke and Pepsi colas throughout the decades. The classic logo wins every time. Logo aside, which pop do you prefer? Coke or Pepsi?

I'm a month late with this one, but better late than never... I started driving my current automobile in June 1999.  It's the only new car I've ever bought so all 212,000 kms are mine. I know people who upgrade their car every 2-4 years like clockwork.  I'm simply

First Michael Jackson haunted Muhammad Ali and George Foreman during their Rumble in the Jungle back in 1974, then he haunted Larry King during his interview with Jermaine Jackson on CNN.  Now, The Sun is reporting that Jacko's at it again. Dad-of-two Gary Sloggett, 43, had taken some pics of

I just shared an MP3 with a little feature I creatively named "The Weekly MP3".  Five years ago today, I killed The Weekly MP3. For the past few months, I've been sharing an MP3 from my collection every Wednesday.  For seven days I host an MP3 for visitors to grab

My left eye has been hurting all day.  It feels like there's something in it, stabbing my eyeball every time I blink.  After dinner tonight, I had had enough.  I was going to St. Joseph's Health Centre to find out what the heck was in my eye. I figured I'd

It's been a rough week.  I'm getting out of the city for a bit.  I'll be back in time to support the James Fund at SickKids by playing beach volleyball all day on Sunday at Ashbridge's Bay. Speaking of which, you can sponsor me by making a secure donation online

I will be competing in the 15th Annual Heatwave Toronto Beach Volleyball Tournament in support of The James Fund at SickKids.  As one of the athletes in this event, I have made a commitment to fight childhood cancer.  No child should have to suffer this terrible disease.  I'm asking you

Remember when Michael Jackson's ghost haunted Muhammad Ali and George Foreman during their Rumble in the Jungle back in 1974?  That was a cool trick, because it was modern day Jacko doing the haunting back in 1974, not 1974 Jacko. It seems he's at it again. During a Larry King

If my wife comes home with coffee that isn't fresh, I spank her.  I'm sure other husbands do the same.  It's the fear of stern spanking that sells Chase & Sanborn coffee. 14 other creepy vintage ads can be found right here. I feel sorry for this little dude who

Storm second baseman (or is it second basewoman?) Jordan just reminded me that the Toronto Taste Online Auction is underway on eBay. Simply click this link to see all the great items you can bid on.  Items are added daily, so keep that link handy. Jordan says all monies raised

YouTube user Retrontario frequently uploads fantastic retro-Toronto-centric gems.  These clips never fail to bring back a ton of memories for me, so I feature them from time to time. I take blue Smarties for granted.  I know I can stroll to the corner store, by a box of Smarties and

I just stumbled upon what might be the greatest optical illusion I've ever seen. Take a look at this image: Do you see blue and green?  I did too, then I was told they're the exact same colour.  I have a colour picker add-on for Firefox that lets me click

Part of the reason birthdays lose their lustre as we age is the ding we get from the MTO.  The MTO, for those of you who don't live in Ontario, is the Ministry of Transportation for Ontario.  I just came back from an MTO office $343 poorer. You see, I

61 of you entered to win a lithium-ion grass trimmer / edger from Canadian Tire.  Each eligible participant was given a number in the order the comment was left.  Then, I asked my wife to pick a number between 1 and 61.  She picked 52. That made Rob S. the big

I love reading the comments on this site.  I wish more of you would comment more often.  Don't be shy, create an alias and stick with it and you'll remain anonymous.  Do you really think Argie is an Argie and Elvis is an Elvis? Jason, a.k.a. OJ Boy,
