Oak Bay: We have the highest per capital number of public pay phones.

You don’t even have to tell us who “he” is…we all know.

Interesting take in so many different ways…

ACTUAL REAL NEWS: US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy goes on the record: "Pilots need to stop depending on air traffic controllers. They need to suck it up and go with their gut feelings." And now, in rebuttal, is every single person who has ever flown.

Oak Bay: We fake the nicest smiles.

If you’re patient enough on Facebook Marketplace you’ll find what you’re looking for.

Gazette Culinary Tip: The five-second rule on dropped food does not apply to soup.

We’d be willing to make a pretty substantial contribution to their Christmas party fund if we could get the guys from @cheknews.ca to do their stand-ups in front of our sign. One hand washes the other, people.

In Oak Bay we take a holistic approach to NIMBYism. It’s one of our core competencies.

There be hatches to batten down! #bcstorm 🌧️ 💨 🌊

It’s the first of the month. Remember to say Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit for good luck.

If you were going to have a play with a “Dead Ball” OF COURSE it would be on #Halloween 👻

A reminder to check your children’s candy. Our publisher found this hidden in a Coffee Crisp.

Tonight in Oak Bay we’ve made all those decaying leaves smell corpse-like. Because #Halloween should be special for the little ones.

If they show Yesavage in the dugout $5 says Buck will swoon over him some more. Not saying he isn't amazing but I think that Trey is either Buck's secret grandchild OR he wants to marry off one of his grandchildren to him.

We wonder if Dan Shulman and Buck Martinez will talk about how the #BlueJays never give up, always find a way and rise to the challenge. #WorldSeries

We always repost Pantone colour news.

We’re going to stop using NIMBY, it’s not quite the right word. From now on when we talk about the ethos of Oak Bay we’re going with BANANA. (Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anything)

Reminder to check your kids’ Hallowe’en treats for razor clams.

Life moves at a different pace in Oak Bay. For example, our most popular breakfast cereal is Slow Oats.

i have an interview with the ceo of translink in ten hours and i fear my questions will become: - “would you have pitched to ohtani in the 7th” - “dodgers stadium, all that parking, hey” - (wipes eyes, curses utter breath several times)

We have a morning paper tomorrow, guys.
