A Christmas fright from Karens!  Just for laughs and giggles, I've decided now, after the gardening season ended, that I have time to devote to this blog thingy, so I'm reviving it. At least for awhile.  This blog has mostly been on hiatus since spring, since I didn't have time to deal with it. But let's go for broke.  Since it's the Christmas season, let's start with the holiday spirit, if you will. With Karens, since they've been all the rage - literally - this year. Jimmy Kimmel recently had a fantastic holiday Karen segment that you have to watch.  It starts pretty frighteningly, with a woman doing an anti-vax version of Mariah Carey's Christmas classic "All I Want For Christmas Is You."   Sweet Mariah can sing this lovely song. Anti-vax Karen.......cannot. Anti-Vax Karen, "performing" at a San Diego county board meeting, reworked the lyrics into extreme nonsense. Worse, her singing voice is about as good as the tragic sound of ...

This is Peter Kwok, a transit cop in British Columbia. He takes honors as most chill cop in the world as he took abuse from the most obnoxious anti-mask Karen in the world.   For the past year, we've seen so many anti-maskers causing scenes and filming themselves that it's a cliche.   It's almost like there's some kind of competition to see which one is the most obnoxious. And.....We have a winner!  Last December 5, a woman in British Columbia, Canada, riding the Canada Line, refused to wear a mask, and boy did it escalate! While we're handing out awards, we're going to concur with the website Vancouverisawesome.com and award the transit cop involved, Peter Kwok, in this mess the prize for being the most composed cop in Canada, if not the world.  Go i nto this link to watch the whole, drawn out 11-minute video. It really is something. To set it up, the transit cops were doing mask compliance checks because of a British Columbia rule issued in November tha...

The smug look on this anti-mask Alberta, Canada Karen precedes the $600 fine she got for her antics. There are now zillions of videos out there of very stupid, very arrogant, self-centered fools making spectacles of themselves trying to get into retail shops without masks.  As you can tell by reading some of my other posts, I'm strangely fascinated by these losers. They're so smug, so convinced they're correct, even as they are hilariously wrong about the law. They always get an embarrassing comeuppance. They're still probably proud of themselves, even as the world mocks them as they watch their viral videos. The stores involved in these videos have mask policies in place. No shirt, no shoes, no mask, no service. Pretty simple! But oh, no, it doesn't apply to these Karens It's well established law that a store can bar a person for pretty much any reason, unless they are banning a whole class of people, like minorities, sexual identity as such.  But as long as st...
