Yes, it’s an exaggeration, but a little trepidation about using “Reply All” will probably save a few headaches and even careers.

Via Reddit — this photo was taken yesterday on the 407 by the southbound Yonge Street ramp. Nobody looks hurt, but I’m sure someone’s bank account has been severely injured.

Here’s your Friday productivity-killer: You Think You’re a Man by the one and only Divine. It’s so incredibly 1980s, and one of the best breakup songs ever made (especially that bit where Divine growls “Mister, you just made a big mistaaaaaaake”):

This is a big festival weekend in Toronto, with not one, but two Eastern European cultural street festivals, featuring dancing, pierogies, and accordions, accordions, accordions!

Toronto Ukrainian Festival

The Toronto Ukrainian Festival is North America’s largest Ukrainian street festival, and it’s one big party! It starts tonight and runs until Sunday, with Bloor Street West closed off to traffic between Runnymede and Jane.

Parking will be at a premium at the event; you’re better off taking the subway to the Festival — you can go to either Runnymede Station, which is at the Festival’s easternmost end, or Jane Station, at the Festival’s westernmost end.

Along with the food and traditional Ukrainian cultural performances, there are lots of rides for the kids, and musical acts. Trust me, you haven’t lived until you’ve heard Hotel California in the original Ukrainian:

Roncesvalles Polish Festival

The Roncesvalles Polish Festival takes place on Saturday and Sunday, taking up Roncesvalles Avenue from Dundas Street on the north all the way down to the Queensway.

Parking will be a bit hard to come by at the Festival, so you should either take the subway to Dundas West Station and walk a short way to the north end of the Festival, or take one of the Queen Street or King Street streetcars there.

There’ll be the usual food and Polish cultural performances, and “Roncey’s” merchants will also be out there in full force.

Polish folk-rockers Brathanki will perform on Saturday night:

And the event is being sponsored by Sobieski Vodka, who oddly enough have hired Bruce Willis as their spokesdrinker:

So that’s why they’re acting all crazy.
