I was listening to my old Luba records on the weekend. I wasn’t in the mood to listen to early ‘80s music or anything. I just wanted a good reason to say the word “Luba.”

The accordion is one of the oldest bellows-driven musical instruments in the world – nearly 200-years-old in fact. But here’s something you probably didn’t know. The accordion actually derives its name from the German phrase “nein der korden,” meaning “not getting laid.”

Over the winter, I tried playing goal for our rec hockey league. But I couldn’t save a thing. I guess I should’ve switched to Geico.

My dog hates it when I try and brush his teeth. Luckily, he really seems to love the new toothpaste I bought for him. It’s Spicy Mailman flavour.

Thought of the Day

People always say, “It’s the best thing since sliced bread.” Really? Is that as far as we’ve come as a society? Curing polio… Splitting the atom, maybe? Nope! These are secondary to wanting to spread Skippy on two pieces of Wonder.

Jon Bon Jovi must’ve been pretty poor growing up. His parents couldn’t even afford to give him an “H.”

Thought of the Day

People say cards are a great way to relax. I see what they mean. The last time I was playing cards, everyone kept saying, “Go fish.” It took us six weeks just to finish one hand.

Thought of the Day

I saw Mike Love in concert recently – and I wasn’t impressed. Don’t get me wrong. He put on a great show. But he was wearing these tiny little shorts. Let’s just say I got to see a lot more of the Beach Boys than I really wanted to.

Thought of the Day

I was never a big fan of “Show & Tell” when I was a kid. I’m not sure what turned me off exactly. But it might’ve been the time Leon Schlesinger came to class one day and told us, “This is a poison ivy.”

Thought of the Day

I got thrown out of the public swimming pool on the weekend for trying to pick up three girls. I argued with the lifeguard that I was a taxpayer, and had a perfect right to enjoy the pool like everyone else. Besides, where else was I going to break in my new fishing rod?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but Robert Palmer didn’t mean to turn you on.

Thought of the Day

For nearly 300 years, British soldiers always used to wear red coats so they could hide bloodstains when they were wounded in battle. Now, I don’t know about you. But if it was me, and I saw hordes of French troops charging at me with sabres and bayonets, I’d rather wear some brown corduroys.

These survey takers are really getting out of hand. I was downtown the other day, and one of them asked me if I had any spare change. So, what the hell. I said, “Yes.”

Two can play at that game. Unless that game happens to be bridge.

Thought of the Day

Hollywood legend Charlton Heston won an Academy Award for playing the title role in 1959’s Ben-Hur. And I understand his family would’ve got a princely sum for it at auction after Heston died in 2008. But they just couldn’t pry it from his cold, dead hands.

Thought of the Day

I was walking along the beach one day, when I spotted a bottle bobbing in the water. And there was a note inside. I thought it might be somebody in trouble. Maybe a castaway stranded on a desert island. Turns out, it was just Charlie Sheen looking for someone to save his career.

If your local 7-Eleven was off the beaten path, does that mean it’d be an inconvenience store?

Thought of the Day

The Rolling Stones just announced they’ll be playing a brand new slate of concerts this year at dozens of stadiums and amphitheatres worldwide. It’s all part of their ongoing No Filter Tour. Or as I like to call it, the Antiques Roadshow.

Thought of the Day

Sure, the Bat-Signal sounds like a great idea. But if Commissioner Gordon really wants to get a hold of Batman, why doesn’t he just send him a text?
