Ric Flair's in the rasslin' ring tonight!
_Yes, Ric Flair is wrestling tonight.
Flair is .. 73.
He and son-in-law Andrade El Idolo
face Jeff Jarret and Jay Lethal
as headline graplers at
a pay-per-view event
in Nashville.

Tim Hawkins - The Government Can
This video appears on many trucker, conservative and wing-nut websites.
I'm not surprised by the sentiment: I live in a rural area where F**k Trudeau signs amuse tourists.
What's surprising are the very pro TikTok-y skills on display here, in a parody of The Candy Man.
Seven million views.
Just in case you thought those convoys, deniers and insurrectionists were yobs with too much time on their hands.
This is the same Tim Hawkins who delights evangelical circuits, but 10 years ago did Take-My-Wife-Please comedy turns--like the one that appeared in yesterday's blog.

Do you have a helper in the car?
It's especially helpful for summer driving....
Back to the Vat
Iqaluit
CBC: Support is available for anyone
affected by residential schools,
and those who are triggered by the latest reports.
Where once the church and its leaders
presented themselves as
spiritual guides
for Indigenous people,
they're now seen by some in
Nunavut as the ones needing guidance.
The world stands out on either side
No wider than the heart is wide
Above the earth is stretched the sky
No higher than the heart is high

CIRCUMCISION: Chop shop for Guys
_
Are you circumcised?
I didn't get a vote.
Most guys don't.
Would you like to see a little five-minute cartoon about circumcision?
Probably not.
It's largely the default snip in North America, but not in most of the world.
But if you watch, you will want to read the 60 comments below the video.
They are here.
And definitely one-sided.
"You are under arrest" in Inuktut
_Above, a handy handbook for Mounties,
so they can say several handy phrases in Inuktut.
"Officers lack of Inuktut has been a barrier
in Nunavut's communities," admits an RCMP officer.
Among the handbook's newly available phrases
in Inuktut:
"Do you need medical assistance?'
and
"You're under arrest."
