2012 “End-of-Year Questions” Meme: Hawaiian Paradise, Kindergarten Kid, and “It’s (Going To Be) A Girl”

1. What did you do this year that you’d never done before? Saw a photo of the brain of someone I know!

My Real Role on Team Meili… #skndpldr

This time, it was putting forward the idea for a Reddit AMA which was the first ever by a Saskatchewan politician. Of […]

How To Eat Corn on the Cob in 10 Seconds

This had me laughing and laughing for some reason when I first saw it… I mean, with stuff like that, I always wonder “what is the thought process that leads someone to try something like this for the first time?” (h/t CP)
