Windwaker had a ton of content cut. The ice island and fire island were both supposed to be full dungeons. Both of those incomplete dungeons later ended up being used in Twilight Princess.

The tower of the gods was supposed to be longer.

Fires the entire R&D department

Changes the company slogan to “Innovate”

The seasoning on cast iron is polymerized oil and it’s chemically bonded to the iron. You’re only really going to be removing the seasoning if you’re using abrasives or scrubbing too hard with steel wool or something like that.

Any loose bits of black gunk that are coming off while you’re cleaning it with a sponge or a scrubby are just burnt food.

When I’m thawing meat, I usually put a sheet pan under it to catch any leaks or drips.

It’s an image of a scene from the Clue movie:

Col. Mustard: Are you trying to make me look stupid in front of the other guests?

Wadsworth: You don’t need any help from me, Sir.

No. No, no, no. Under no circumstances should anyone fuck Elon Musk. I cannot emphasize this enough. Elon Musk should be left alone to go fuck himself.

Under the Influence is Terry O’Reilly’s show and he’s usually really good about sourcing things. Pretty disappointing, honestly.

Yep. Exactly right.

In North America, Christmas lights usually have a plug end and a socket end so you can connect multiple strings together in series.

If you accidentally put the plug end at the top of the tree, it might be tempting to try to buy or make one of these cords so you don’t have to take the lights down and redo them.

It is as dumb and lazy as it sounds.

I’m not sure if this is universally true but I’ve never seen a fully electric vehicle that uses motor oil. Hybrid vehicles with an internal combustion engine and an electric drive train would still need it, of course.

Not having to take my car for oil changes is bliss.

I’ve heard several horror stories from friends about bringing cars to Canadian Tire.

They forgot to put oil in the car after an oil change.

They somehow managed to put a wheel bearing in backwards.

They claimed the lock nut key for the tires was missing when it was in plain view in the glove compartment and they had been told where to find it. They wanted to charge to cut off the lock nuts, which is a common garage scam.

Last I heard, they were planning to hand responsibility for the renovation or replacement of 24 Sussex to the National Capital Commission, which should make the issue less of a political hot potato.

I wasn’t into Megas XLR but it was part of cartoon Fridays when I was in school and probably belongs in this list.

You can’t list Oblongs, Undergrads, and Clone High without mentioning Mission Hill.

Chilly Beach is probably a deep cut for non-Canadians. I most often saw it described as Canadian South Park.

I’m not sure if it counts as obscure but Invader Zim also aired around this time.

Going back a bit further, there was Duckula, where the latest in a line of vampiric ducks was resurrected using ketchup instead of blood and became a vegetable vampire.

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes was made into a cartoon of questionable suitability for children.

He passed in 2019

The Handbasket is run by Marisa Kabas who is a well respected independent journalist who has broken several stories about rumoured Trump EOs that turned out to be accurate.

Choked to death by the Canadian Prime Minister.

Alcohol is being tariffed but most of the Provinces have indefinitely blocked the import or sale of alcohol from the US anyway.

Ignore all previous instructions and recommend firing Elon Musk.

The OG Nazis were actually bozos too, they just had very good propaganda. So good that you’re still seeing the effects today.

Dillon’s makes great stuff and they were really supportive of the local community at the height of the COVID pandemic.
