Mumbo Jumbo

Any male or female accused of and convicted of sexual assault should be drawn and quartered….but there are limits:

Consider this from an earlier post:

Interesting read about Patrick Brown, the Ontario Conservative Party Leader, who resigned amid allegations of sexual misconduct. Appears he did something bad a number of years ago when he was single and available.

Allegationists have come out now with their allegations. Why now? Why not a year ago? 10 years ago? In this new caustic environment it’s okay to destroy someone – normally a male – without a shred of evidence. Why? Because it was a female complainant. No other reason. It must be true. I’m waiting for the first male to spout off a sexual allegation against a female. See where that takes ya. And bully to our Prime Minister who supports the sexual vigilantism in all of its nastiness. Of course he is a feminist isn’t he? But his actions against that reporter at that  music festival went unheeded. No story here. Move on..as related by the liberal media in this country. Could it be that he, Trudeau, is untouchable because he is a progressive, a liberal? And Brown is one of those nasty, nasty conservatives? Hmmm? Hmmm? And Trudeau has nice hair.

My two words of advice to all the males out there:

Beware of Cougars (oops, sorry that’s three)

See the source image

A “Cougar” is defined as an older woman attracted to younger men. On the prowl sort of.

Whereas an Alligator (my definition):

Is any woman out there ready to devour or destroy the reputation, livelihood and well being of any male it has her sights on – without due course, due diligence, due evidence, or due process. Just due allegations! It’s just a “let’s dues this” and eat him up for breakfast. We’re due they, the radical feminists, were due to say. Let’s go after that due’d and eat him up.
See how the Alligator laughs in this photo. Yes…she knows!

Men are screwed.

But beware all of you radical feminists out there. Chivalry is dead now. You have just put the last nail into the “gentlemanly coffin.” I mean I’m an old fart, a grumpy, grampy old man, well past his best before date but if I was younger I would definitely do things differently in today’s toxic atmosphere. No more holding the door open, paying for dinner, compliments, drinks or whatever. I would belch, fart, grunt, swear, pick my nose, and scratch my ass – wiggle me nuts – tell dirty jokes, well perhaps not, and – y’know all of those things that define a male – in front of you. And, I would think twice about working with a woman because you just never know. It could be next week, next month, a year from now, maybe 10 years from now, as is Brown’s case, and wham – a sexual innuendo allegation from an “Alligator” comes your way. No defence, no evidence, just hearsay and buddy you are screwed. Nuff said.

On the “Trudeau Strong and Free” front

Another one of Trudeau’s mandate tracking letters:

“The Government of Canada has reached agreements with all provinces and territories on collective priorities and 10-year funding to strengthen health care. In August 2017, federal, provincial and territorial (W – T – F) governments reached agreement on a Common Statement of Principles on Shared Health Priorities, which outlines key priorities for federal investments to improve access to mental health and addictions services, as well as home and community care and a joint commitment to advance health innovation and prescription drugs.”

What does all this mean? No idea! Transparency again. It is so transparent that we can all see through it. All I know is that this mandate has been actioned as “completed.” Well, the home support care my wife received before she passed was awful, and my son had to wait 10 months for essential varicose vein surgery on one leg while being told there would be an equally long wait for surgery on his other leg. The Doctors from Lego were not amused. They just nodded their legs…er heads in agreement. Yes, completed my ass…no leg you idiot!

Other stuff:

Poor Melania Trump. Doesn’t matter what she does or says she is vilified by those people who are just so damn tolerant and compassionate – don’t you know. Like these two:

Hypocrisy knows no bounds. Three cheers for the Holly’s Woody in the Morning Crowd………………………………Geeesh!

Oprah for President? Are you kidding me? Okay, all you radical feminists out there. Where’s the outcry here? And don’t say Oprah didn’t know. You wouldn’t give the same courtesy to Melania Trump.

 

Dedicated to all of those beautiful woman out there. All women are beautiful. Another song that pulls you in and gets you up and on your feet: Mumbo Jumbo…yes…er Mambo #5 If there were more dance tunes like this out there, there would be world peace!

R.I.P

Bob Einstein, also known as Super Dave Osborne has died. He was 76. Remember this comedian for his dead pan delivery. Loved watching him on the Super Dave Osborne show back in the 70s and 80s:

Keep dancing and have a great Navy day.

Don’t Worry, Be Happy

Congrats to the Finns. They won the World Juniors and Spengler Cup. Swiss put on a great show. Same for the USA.  Canada…not so much. Next year,

**********

I just re-read a prediction the Sierra Club of Canada made about 10 years ago about how Victoria would look under 75 feet of water and how the various areas around the CRD would be affected. I remember writing a letter to the editor at the time – a time when Global Warming hysteria really began – about this very prediction. I think it is worth repeating here because much of it is still relevant:

********

Victorians are gurgling with excitement over rising sea levels! Alan Lowe (Mayor of Victoria) and the Sierra Club’s dire prediction of Victorian flooding of biblical proportions because of Global Warming got me to thinking:

  • If you thought the leaky condo issue was big news, standby for heavy rolling;
  • Our buildings have already been upgraded for earthquakes. It’s now time to make them waterproof;
  • Just think, BC Ferries can now depart from downtown Victoria;
  • Kinda brings a whole new meaning to the Colwood crawl, don’t ya think;
  • Forget Light Rapid Transit. Make way for fast water taxis;
  • Getting rid of those “Fast Cat” ferries may have been a wee bit premature;
  • We won’t have to address our sewage treatment issues. Clover and Macaulay Point will be so far underwater that no one will notice. I hear Methane floats though!
  • We could establish a new tourist attraction: The Clover and Macaulay Point “Hot Springs”
  • The Premier and MLAs need not to fret. We can always move the BC legislature up into the dome – that is when they sit of course. The men and women Under the Dome;
  • How about this for a new marketing strategy for Victoria’s tourist industry: “Venice of the North”
  • Small businesses shouldn’t worry. A whole new growth industry could be established in gondolas, scuba gear and undersea gardens and shops;
  • Agricultural Land Reserve?? No problem. Just change the name to Aqua-Cultural Land Reserve. After all, Government can do whatever it wants;
  • Unfortunately though, a new building code will require that all existing downtown buildings over 75 ft in height will have to have jetties and bollards installed above the 75 ft level. Buildings under 75 ft????? Well, they’ll be waterproofed won’t they?

Another crazy prediction from the environ – mentalists that turned out to be all wet.

Here are a few more:

Maldives will be underwater by 01 January 2018 – this according to the UN’s dire prediction in 1988.

I checked so you don’t have to: Maldives, January 1 2018:

Has anyone seen my island??

Vanuatu? Still there but hey, give us a gazillion dollars anyway.

According to Al “Baby” Gore the Arctic will be entirely ice free by 2013. Last time I checked:

What did  Al have to say about all of this? Not much but……

When comedy used to be funny:

 

Don’t worry, be happy. Check out Robin Williams at a time when he was happy!

Only problem now is, is that I will have this tune in my head all day.

 

Have a great Navy Day

Boo Hoo Hoo, Boo Hoo Hoo

Canada lost to Finland in the World Juniors Ice Hockey tournament being held here in Victoria (my home town) and Vancouver, British Columbia. Canada also lost to Finland – although they called this team another name – in the Spengler Cup, that was held in Davos Switzerland.

Boo Hoo, Bahahahahahahahahahahahahah – boo hoo.

So now what? The Juniors are still going on. Well, First Canada…Not. Then the USA, then Switzerland. In that order. The USA will play Russia in the Semi final and Switzerland will play the Finns in the other Semi final. So, I am safe for the time being. I will cheer for the USA and root, toot, toot for the Swiss. The final will be a classical upset match. can’t wait.

But what about those uniforms. Here are some of the juniors:

See the source imageSee the source imageSee the source imageOkay, Canada, USA and Sweden. I get it.

Now check out these guys from the Spengler Cup:

See the source imageSee the source imageSo, who are these guys. Now, I know the team on the right is Davos. Oh and on the left too. Damn. Home and away I guess.

See the source imageIf anyone out there can tell me who these guys are wins a prize.

These teams remind me of skating billboards or adverts on ice. Ads disguised as hockey players. Who are these dudes:

See the source imageI do not have a picture of the Swiss Junior Team coach but this guy has turned out to be one of the most entertaining coaches of the entire tournament. Funny, knowledgeable and very interesting post game commentary.

Anyway, Canada lost and the Swiss have won. I owe my Swiss friend a beer. “Le Fin de la Monde” would be a good choice. 13% alcohol content. Definitely “Le fin de mon joue de hockey sur la glace eh Pascal”

Boo Hoo Hoo, Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Song of the day:

He shoots, he scores. Wow, no helmets and lots of fights….Yesssss!

Have a great Navy Day. Have a great weekend.

Belated Happy New Year

You know I almost forgot:

Happy New Year

To every one.

Time magazine, in their standard New Year’s edition, named Journalists as the person / persons of the year. Are you kidding me? Must be fake news. No, no, no. For a blogger like me this guy has to be one of the news makers of the year, what with all of his threats”:Image result for pics of kim jungAnd his band of Merry Men:

 

See the source image

Check out those hats man, and uniforms. And here, at a North Korean “Pride” Parade:

See the source image

I’ll say. It was a nice day for a parade until they brought out the electron magnet.

Nah, we here in the west have nothing to worry about.

And my other newsworthy person of the year has to be:

See the source image

“Are you talking to me? Yeah…you, are you talking to me?”

For a blogger like me these dudes are the gifts that keep on giving. It was close though as I felt that this guy deserved an honorable mention.

See the source image

“Manna from heaven dude. Hey David let’s go for a Barista and a toke man.”

For my European friends the guy on the right is our fearless (and clueless) Prime Minister. The guy on the left is David Suzuki, Canada’s pre-eminent enviro – mental.

And of course, what about this guy:

See the source image“Vivre La France” ….dude and dudesses.

 

See, even this guy agrees with me.

See the source image

No, “Time,” you got this one all wrong.

So, my person of the year is shared between Donald Trump of the USA’s Bridge and Euchre Association and Who Flung Poo from North Korea. Honourable mentions to Macron and Trudeau – brothers in arms.

 

Song of the day. This is a classic. When this came out in 1960 it would turn out to be the greatest dance tune of all time. It hit number one on the charts multiple times and went on the produce many copycats. I was 9 when it came out and I remember, fondly, playing this record over and over and over again at the cottage on Georgian Bay that my parents rented for a few weeks every summer. Great memories:

You know this is a great song for even after 59 years you still want to get up and shake that booty. Check out those glam suits.

If the world had more songs like this there definitely would be world peace.

Have a great Navy Day

New Year’s Day: Peaceful Easy Feeling

This is my first post since having completed my Vezelay to St Jean Pied de Port 900 kilometer pilgrimage 13 September 2018. After completing such a journey and experiencing a tremendous natural high that came with it, I just did not feel like writing anything at all. Now, however, I have a renewed interest and strength and a peaceful easy feeling:

2018 was a bittersweet year for me. My dear wife passed away from Cancer 08 December 2017. Our first grandchild was born 01 April 2018. April Fools Day but more importantly, Easter Sunday. A real blessing for me but sad that my wife never got to hold her.

I spent most of my time in the first 6 months of 2018 planning my pilgrimage. This proved to be a very welcomed distraction from my grief. I will not go into it as you can read about it in my archived posts starting around the 27 July – 13/14 September 2018. I felt my wife’s presence throughout the long walk. Silent times for personal reflection among some of the most beautiful scenery on the planet – France. Mon Dieu, beaucoup de belle pay. Je l’aime. It renewed my faith in life and in God. My anger about my wife’s death dissipated like a light translucent fog in a light summer’s breeze. How could I remain sad in this environment?

From there I went to Lourdes, which was a very personal journey for me. Then finishing off this glorious summer trek with a visit to a very old, but dear friend, who now lives in Switzerland. Spending a week with her, her husband and family was a highlight for me. Thanks Ruth and Pascal.

I was able to say goodbye to Marijke and I could sense her letting me go. To move on. It is okay, she whispered in my ear, GO, and  live, just as a soft, light enveloping wind swept over me like a cool refreshing blanket in this summer’s heat. I will never forget her but I must move on for the sake of my two sons, and now my grandchild.

Goodbye Marijke. Until me meet again. Hallelujah!

That is it. I look forward to the New Year with a renewed sense of purpose and interest. Those that know me and have followed this blog know that I am a compassionate conservative, who likes to poke fun at current events, and personalities – left or right, up or down, it makes no difference to me.

Here is my last song. Cheap Trick: I Want You to Want Me!

SJ………………………………….Over and out.
