Hail to the Chief

This may not be a popular entry, but I’m about Baramaed out. I think the man is a leader; I admired how he has galvanized the American people nay how he has galvanized most of the free world, but lets meet again in a year and take a vote at his fan club.

I still fear for his life given the nut cases out there.

God bless you Oback

Vroom Vroom

Around mid morning today I got an invitation via MSN from some friends to join them in goin to The Montreal edition of the International Car Show.

At about 1:30 Lead Foot Rolanda and her other half Gord picked me up at my door and we were off to Le Palais du Congress for the show.

It was fifteen dollars to get in and I guess in retrospect to going to the movies the price was fair. There were plenty of folks waiting to get in but we were in a matter of minutes.

The cars were well organized and well presented. Not as flashy as other years but all the models you needed to see were there.

Ro and I took plenty of photos and we gave our cameras a good work out.

After a few hours and Gord had put a down payment on a black Hummer we were off home through the streets of Montreal (which Rolanda knows surprisingly well ) back home.

Thanks Ro thanks Gord

Lard Thundern Jasus

I haven't forgotten my blog I'll write soon.


But ......
This happened in a little town, Norris Arm, in Newfoundland, and even though it sounds like an Alfred Hitchcock tale, it's absolutely true.

This fellow was on the side of the road hitchhiking on a very dark
night in the middle of a terrible rainstorm, and no cars were on the road.
The storm was so strong he could hardly see a few feet ahead of him.

Suddenly, a car came toward him and stopped. Without thinking, he got in the car and closed the door and only then did he realize that there was nobody behind the wheel!


The car started to move very slowly. He looked at the road and saw a curve coming his way. Petrified, he started to pray, begging for his life.
Just before the car hit the curve, a hand suddenly appeared through the window and moved the steering wheel.

The fellow, now paralyzed in terror, watched as the hand appeared every time the car was approaching a curve. Finally, although terrified, he managed to open the door and jump out of the spooky car.

Without looking back, he ran through the storm all the way to the nearest town. Soaking wet; exhausted and in a state of utter shock the pale, visibly shaken man, walked into a nearby bar and asked for two shots of Screech.

Then, still trembling with fright, he started telling everybody about the horrible experience he just went through with the spooky car with no driver and the mysterious hand that kept appearing.

Everyone listened in silence and became frightened, hairs standing on end when they realized the fellow was telling the truth.

About an hour later two guys walked into the same bar and one said to the other, 'Lard Thundern Jasus, me son, there's the arsehole who got in the car while we was pushing it!

50th Wedding Anniversary

An elderly couple were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary, so they decided to return to the little town where they first met. They sat in a small coffee shop in the town and were telling the waitress about their love for each other and how they met at this same spot. Sitting next to them was the local cop and he smiled as the old couple spoke.

After the waitress left the table, the old man said to his wife," Remember the first time we made love, it was up in that field across the road, when I put you against the fence. Why don't we do it again for old times sake?" The wife giggled like crazy and said, "Sure, why not."

So off they went out the door and across to the field. The cop smiled to himself, thinking how romantic this was and decided he better keep an eye on the couple so they didn't run into any harm.

The old couple walked to the field and as they approached the fence they began to undress. The old man picked up his wife when they were naked and leaned her against the fence. The cop was watching from the bushes and was surprised at what he saw. With the vitality of youth, the wife bounced up and down excitedly, while the husband thrashed around like a wild man, then they both fell to the ground in exhaustion.

Eventually, they stood up, shook themselves, and got dressed. As they walked back towards the road, the cop stepped from his hiding spot and said, "That is the most wonderful love making I have ever seen. You must have been a wild couple when you were young."

"Not really," said the old man, "when we were young, that fence wasn't electric."

Timber !!!

A puny guy went for a job as a lumberjack, but the head lumberjack told him, "Sorry pal, you're too weak."

"I may look weak," protested the guy, "but I'm not. At least give me a chance to show what I can do."

"OK then, see that giant redwood over there. Let's see you chop it down."

Half an hour later, to the amazement of the head lumberjack, the giant redwood was lying on its side.

"Where did you learn to cut down trees like that?"

"The Sahara Forest," replied the guy.

"You mean the Sahara Desert," said the lumberjack.

"Sure," replied the guy, "if that's what they call it now."
