Eeegads: I am a real man because I am going to buy that watch!
Gillette, Egards?…………………………………………..Piss off! You don’t speak for me.
According to Progressives:
Toxic Masculinity Progressive Masculinity
Who would you rather be?
Would your rather drive a Prius or a Shelby? Hmmm? Be honest now.
What we really need is more masculinity!

I just checked my watch. Eegads I need a shave man. Gotta go.
Another version of I’m A Man…by Chicago, 1971. Terry Kath, lead guitarist of this band, accidently shot himself in 1978 while playing with a handgun. He died of his wounds. He sings the first verse of this song and does the guitar work.
Have a great Navy day…..man.
Man oh man……………………geesh
Or as Trudeau would say: People oh people…………..geesh!
A Carbon tax is being introduced nation wide by our dear leader. He made this announcement at the same time as environ-mental leaders were discussing environ-mental issues and carbon pricing initiatives down the road in Quebec with Ms McKenna, Canada’s Minister of the Environment, also known as Climate Barbie. Was this a planned pre-emptive strike? Don’t know but something sure is rotten in the state of Denmark!
I cringed when B.C. brought in a Carbon Tax and I am cringing still with Trudeau’s Carbon taxing plan. It just tells me that these people have no clue with respect to basic chemistry
If it is Carbon Dioxide (CO2) that our dear leaders are trying to control and capture then say so. CO2 is not C. But even CO2, which is comprised of one Carbon Atom and two Oxygen Atoms, is an important compound element of nature’s chemistry table. It is found when we exhale, when we fart, shyte and just about everything else that we do. It is a byproduct for much of what occurs here on our planet, organically or mechanically. Carbon Dioxide is not an environmental polluting agent because it is not detrimental or poisonous to life (Biology Cabinet). Carbon dioxide cannot kill living cells by altering their structure or physiology in the same way, for example, as a snake venom will. It can only suffocate an organism when Oxygen is not present at a sufficient concentration to sustain life.
The difference between carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide is one less oxygen atom in the molecule of carbon monoxide. This small difference renders carbon monoxide toxic and carbon dioxide vital.V..I..T..A..L!
I would hazard to guess that many of our politicians and their bureaucratic advisers are missing an atom or two as well. They’re policies are surely toxic. And you know where this is headed?
What does Trudeau think of this Carbon Tax?
Some stats:
That the Arctic would be ice free by 2014, then 2016 NOT
That the polar bear would be in dire straits by now. Last I heard the band was doing alright with the members that they had. NOT
That the Arctic ice melt will drown North America. Ever heard of Archimedes and his principle? Eureka, I thought…………………………………………………………………………………………………NOT
Mt Kilimanjaro’s snow cap would disappear by now. NOT
Some people are making big money out of this YUP
No snow by now, by golly, ever again, NOT Damn!
Say what? What did you say? No snow anymore? Am I in a dream state?
Sea levels are rising. At least not where I live. The tidal gauge hasn’t changed since 1853. Maldives are still there though the cabinet moved back on to dry land. NOT
We want a Trillion Dollars UN
More severe weather. Only in the minds of the MSM NOT
More floods, more wildfires, droughts, tornados, hurricanes NOT
Severe weather. Oh, you mean stormy weather, etta boy NOT
Eastern Seaboard will disappear. Damn, no more Boardwalk? NOT
Governments are collecting millions in taxes over this YUP
“Are you satisfied? That you steal our money and make jackasses out of us all??” NOPE
(Katherine Hepburn to Burt Lancaster in the 1956 movie: “The Rainmaker”)
And millions upon millions and millions of people still believe this shyte. YUP
When I was growing up we were only concerned with or heard about the weather in our local hood. But today we learn of, or are aware of, floods in Bangladesh, Hurricanes in Haiti, Typhoons in the Philippines, Wildfires in New Mexico , Earthquakes in Italy, Drought in Sudan, the very instant that they occur. So no wonder it seems as if the entire planet is on a “tilt-a-meter.” Yet these events have always occurred. The only difference being is that today, unlike 30-40 years ago, global communications, the fear mongering UN, and apocalyptic reporting by the MSM have brought these naturally occurring events into our living rooms on a continuous basis……..Geeesh! And that is another reason I no longer watch the news on TV.
Trudeau to David Suzuki. Heard in passing:
Hey David, hahahahahahahah….we got that Carbon Tax through, hahahahahaha. Canadians are soooo naïve Davey…Can I call you Davey, David?….hahahahahah, and stupid. It’s like manna from heaven for a politician..hahahahah.
But, but, but, you know what? hahahahahahahha. And this is the best part, hahahahahahahah. I can hardly talk here Davey. hahahahahahah….did you know that we exhale C02 with every breath we take? huh? Huh? Davey? Huh? hahahahahahah….we can tax the air…the air Davey. Think of it? Damn, I’m so good. How I love being me…hahahahaahahahahah.
Trudeau’s “Manna from Heaven” on wheels:
It’s really weed, man. Government weed!
Unless we begin to push back, we are doomed YUP
“We’ll be taxing you! Every single day, we’ll be taxing you.”
“I’LL BE TAXING YOU”
Don’t know how you feel but “Sting’s” music has sucked ever since he left the “Police.”
“I see the first nations want to buy the trans mountain pipeline from the government. So let me see if I’ve got this right. Trudeau’s government paid 4.9 billion dollars to buy the pipeline, now the first nations want to buy it for a similar amount. The only problem is that one of the first nations primary source of income is government largesse. And they pay no taxes. So if this deal goes through then the Canadian taxpayer will have paid 9.8 billion for the pipeline – that hasn’t been built yet. This sure sounds like liberal economics.”
BTW, Canada is now viewed as a nation that is unable to build anything of major importance!
I didn’t know I was toxic. I’ll have to order one of those Haz-Mat suits from Amazon. Notice too in the ad that whitey males are toxic and black males are righteous.
Or become New Age Enlightened. Like these guys
SNAG (see add above) or “How I Spent My Summer On Hornby Island.”
Or perhaps this guy.
I always hated this cartoon character. Annoying!
From the new age journalism file comes this bit of journalistic professionalism…or “This is really awkward file:”
CNN host accuses guest of “White Privilege.” Only problem here being is that her guest was Black. She tried to apologize, accusing others such as her producer for her own lack of preparation, but her guest would not let her off the hook. In quoting Martin Luther King her guest stated that he would rather by judged by his character and deeds rather than by the colour of his skin…….or what razor he uses in the morning.
Be the best a man can be…not get….always.
Still a great song after all these years. Stevie Winwood (singer) was only 17 years old when this song was produced in the 60’s. Play it LOUD!
Words! What is in a word? My kingdom for a word! A horse it may be but a horse is only a word that by any other name is still a word. Words declare wars, they garner peace. Words can be hurtful, they can be playful. Words describe words as in spiteful words, hurtful words, insightful words. We can have a war of words, crosswords or them’s fightin words. Words can be theatrical: we can have a play on words. Word is law. It is the word. Words are prophetic. Words can be the gospel truth. So sayeth the word of the Lord. Words inspire, they transpire. Words transcribe: you have my word on that. Failing that, can I have a word with you? But words are not enough. That’s why we have lawyers. Words can also be despotic, or chaotic. A single word can inspire poetry, lyricism.
We can combine words to make quotable quotes: some profound, some sublime, some simplistic, some stupidly clear:
“To be or not to be – that is the question.” That may be but on Jeopardy it is the answer!
“If things are good in moderation then they must be great in excess.” My favourite.
Yet words are not enough when communicating. Context and understanding are crucial. Without context confusion arises to the point of ridiculousness. Let me try to illustrate this by something that I learned in school:
Take the word “nit.” The Concise Oxford English Dictionary defines “nit” as a stupid person, a louse. Then add the letter “k” before the “n” and you have “knit.” Yet the word “nit” from the word “knit” is a whole different kettle of fish. And what is that anyway: a kettle of fish?
Now, let’s take the word “wit:” defined as someone with a sharp sense of humour, a player of words perhaps. As in “that man possesses wit. He has a sharp mind.” But then add the letter “t” before the “w” and you have “twit.” Or, combine the word “nit” with the word “wit” and you have a “nitwit.” But “nit” and “twit” together does not sound quite right – “nit-twit?”
Nonetheless, given that a “nit” is already defined as a stupid person, and “wit” is someone who has a sharp mind, then “nitwit” defiles all logic in a descriptive sense except perhaps to define someone who possesses a stupid “wit” – which in itself is oxymoronic. But “dimwit” already has that locked up. Yet what is really frustrating about the undercurrent of this word is that “dimwit” is the opposite of someone who has a sharp “wit.” So, that being the case, let’s call him or her a “blunt-sharp” person!
To make matters worse a “twit” could be someone who has a sharp “wit,” and is still a “nitwit” or a “dimwit.” So why can’t we call him or her a nit-twit? Or a “dim-twit”? The bottom line is that “nitwit” or “dimwit” sounds better. The other bottom line is that English words are just downright confusing without context and a shared understanding of the contextual environment we are communicating in.
Words can mean different things to many different people. It is how we shape them, construct them, and construe them that are key to our success in using them. Timing may be one thing but context is everything. Take my word for it. You’ll be surprised at how much fun words can be. You’ll be truly amazed at your wordiness.
Oh yeah, and I remember my Italian uncle declaring to his Italian spouse: Hey Flora. Let’s go to the big city and have some fauna – hey? Groan
You have my word on it.
