The Corner Gas Universal Translator

Hello me old china plate. I just went down the Frog and Toad to the Rub a Dub with the Trouble and Strife. She got a bit Brahms and List, fell down the Apples and Pears and got a bash on the Loaf of Bread. So we went back to the Cat and Mouse and put Corner Gas on the Auntie Nelly to put a Roof Tile on her Boat Race.*

Corner Gas Christmas Fun-a-Palooza!

It's the most wonderful time of the year. A time of tradition. Traditions like hiding the Sherry from Grandma. It is also a time to turn off the television (unless you are watching Corner Gas on Amazon Prime and Crave in Canada #shamelessplug) and play festive games with the family. I don't mean games such as "Santa's Festive Massacre" on the X-Station or Playbox 360. Proper games like the ones Grandma used to play - before the Sherry kicked in.

Not A Lot Goin' On - Breaking News Special Report!

Well are my thumbs aching! Every so often the world of Corner Gas goes a bit crazy, a bit of exciting news hits the net, usually via Mr Butt, and then my phone starts buzzing with more notifications than the notice board of a bee colony village hall.

The 100% Officially Unofficial Corner Gas Interactive Advent Calendar 2018!

It's here. December 2018. We are only days away until "he" comes to visit! As with every year it can get very difficult to keep track of what day it is and how long until we get to see if there has been a GI Joe - Ninja Office Admin Assistant action figure left underneath the tree. So, like a Ninja, I have leaped to your side carrying this years officially unofficial Corner Gas advent calendar.

This year we have an animated theme. Come back every day to get a special surprise from all your Dog River favourites by clicking on that days door. No cheating and clicking on all the doors all at once. Santa knows when you are naughty!

So grab an egg nog, crank up the "Now That's What I Call Songs That Have Been Playing in the Stores Since July" CD, relax and click away.

What is a nog anyway? Why are they always so eggy? Are there no cheese nogs or broccoli nogs?

Six Degrees of Dog River - Shop Class

A little while ago I introduced you to a new game that has taken the world by storm. "World.. by Storm" is a boutique clothing store on Granville Street, Vancouver that specialises in flip flops made entirely from recycled cat litter. They love the game in that store, everywhere else ..not so much.

Basically the idea was to link any person or project with something relating to Corner Gas so I can shoe horn in a post that doesn't technically belong on a site dedicated to your favourite t.v. show. This is an idea I came up with entirely on my own and has no basis in the similar "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" which hopefully most of the world have forgotten about by now thus allowing me to get away with this sentence.

David Storey - Coming Home - Album Review

This week I am throwing myself into my very first album review. This is a post that I have been itching to write for a few weeks now. Sometimes, when you have discovered something so amazing, you need to share the information with as many people, and as quickly, as you can. I've been holding onto this little gem for a while now and if I hold it in any longer I may burst! Nobody wants me to burst, especially on the new carpet.

With a Little Help From Friends - A Buttpod Special

Some time ago I wrote a little article spot lighting the wonderful Buttpod You Tube channel. Most of you will know this is where Brent Butt posts the video component to his fantastic podcast. Brent set a goal of reaching 15,000 subscribers by the end of the year.

Here is a video that he put out recently with an update on the target.

By Popular Demand - Doc Small (Season 2 Episode 14)

Good evening. My name is Doctor Alex Biting-Point. I am here today to discuss with you the human condition. Most humans are in a terrible condition...and that takes care of that.

Before I was a medical practitioner I worked in Sweaty Kens Paradise Kebab Shop. Due to this, when I was performing my first operations as a doctor I had to have the patient hung from a rotating bed before I could make the first incision.
