Not A Lot Goin' On - Corner Gas News February 2026 - We're Back Special!

I know what you're thinking. You shouldn't be thinking such things! Naughty!

Also you're thinking, "Where on earth have you been Ian?" 

Well I could tell you of my adventures, around the world. Seeking lost treasures with nothing but my pistol, whip and quick wits to get me out of a sticky situation. I could mention about the time spent in self discovery, realising we are all nothing but batteries in a giant machine and using newly found super kung fu powers to help free the human race from it's evil captors. Then there's that time I had myriad adventures in Singapore, Bahli and Morroco pausing only briefly to sing few show tunes with Bing Crosby.

Not A Lot Goin' On - Corner Gas News - February 2021

 I know what you're thinking. You're thinking "What happens if I chew a toothpick and I get a bit of it stuck in my teeth? Then I have to use another toothpick to get it out, Then that breaks and gets stuck. Would I enter a dental hygiene time loop and disappear into a rip in the continuum?" You're also thinking "Where have you been Ian?!"

Corner Gas is fun! Christmas is fun! Things don't get much funnerer right? 

Wrong! A simple equation can show us how fun may be amplified with just a few math type things like professors at school used to tell me about, you know, adding, taking away and that other one with the line and the two dots. 

Corner Gas x Christmas + Santa - Oscar / Baubles + Tinsel = FUN-A-PALOOZA!!!!

With a Little Help From Friends - Vela

We've all had a bit of a rough time of it. However, it is times like this where we grow and learn to appreciate life and our fellow human beings. It's a great time to offer a helping hand where and when we can to make someone's life a little easier. 

That's where this series of posts comes in. I like to highlight charities, with a little connection to Corner Gas, that I hope we as a community can get together and give a little of our love, time and maybe a few spare dollars, dimes or pennies. 

Last year I bought to your attention Vela Canada.

Not A Lot Goin' On - Corner Gas Animated Breaking News Special

There I was, a mild mannered, not quite billionaire, philanthropist, Majong Championships regional finalist 1997, reclining on my chez lounge, next to the the roaring electric fire (only one bar on, it's not winter yet you know). I was enjoying reading my priceless 5th edition, reprint, ebook, of the complete works of Drew Carey as my youthful ward continued his studies learning the intricacies of Latin. Pig Latin, but it still counts. My man Manfred lightly dusts my Grandma whilst singing his sleeper hit single "Doo wah diddy diddy dum diddy doo".

The World Of The World's Biggest Things From Around the World

This week I would like to discuss Hanks idea about getting an errection in the middle of Dog River. Not just any pertruberance either, the biggest one you have ever seen! Hank wanted his representation to stand proud in the middle of a field and that people from miles around would pay him to have a look at it. He could charge extra if someone wanted a picture. Maybe they could pose leaning against it. If they were really clever they could stand in the foreground, with Hank's sturdy effigy in the distance behind them and it would look like they had it in their hand!

Not A Lot Goin' On - Corner Gas News - June 2020 - 100th Post Special!!

It's July 1st!!! It's party time people!!

Today we celebrate for many reasons :

Corner Gas: The Definitive Award Guide

It is hardly surprising that come award time every year a quality show such as Corner Gas will be knee deep in nominations. It is even less surprising that it would romp away with lots of shiny gongs. Can you imagine the bookshelf in the Corner Gas office covered in statues. It's probably one of those flat pack jobs too, the shelves sagging in the middle under the weight. Some poor soul has to dust all those and keep them shiny. It's always housekeeping that suffer the most when someone goes and creates themselves a multi award winning show you know.

Cooking with Gas (or Electric) - Rice Krispie Rectangles

There are many elements that are absolutely crucial when creating a culenary delight in the kitchen. Excellent ingredients, exsemplary cooking utensils and equiptment for example. However, top Dog River Chef, Mr. Oscar Leroy would have you believe that there is something far more important than these mere basics of the trade. According to Oscar the number one thing that any one even attempting to put together even the simpliest of desserts should consider is Geometry.
