You’re My Best Friend

Games are over. Closing ceremony was great. Athletes did very well. Even the Cross Country Skiers.

Hate it when these athletes become political. Ivanka Trump criticized for showing up. Why? She has every right to be there. She is the President’s daughter after all. But it is okay for the sister of the lunatic leader of North Korea to be there is it? Yeah this guy:

Or her:

Image result for pics of ivanka trumpSome of these athletes are really dumbing down. Stick to your sport.

But then again when you have a Prime Minister like this guy:

It is hard to stick to anything.Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau (R) along with his wife Sophie Gregoire (L) and their children Ella-Grace (2L) and son Xavier (3L) pay their respects at the Sikh Shrine Golden temple in Amritsar on Wednesday. Trudeau and his family were on a week-long official trip to India.                                                                               What an embarrassment!

His son looks very uncomfortable. “Yeah, I know I have a narcissist for a father.” Daughter doesn’t look too happy either. It was the curry me thinks.

A man convicted of attempted murder who was invited to a dinner reception with Justin Trudeau in India says he has a friendly relationship with the prime minister, and stayed away to save him from further embarrassment.

Nooooo, no, noooooo: he didn’t like what was on the menu. Moose Burgers! And, he was upset that he didn’t receive $10.5M from the Prime Minister.

Question of the year: Will Karlsson be traded?

imageThe Weinstein (remember him) Co.’s board of directors says the company is expected to file for bankruptcy protection after last-ditch talks to sell its assets collapsed. Yes, sales of Harvey Wallbangers have tanked over the past few months. Same with his iconic “Wine Steins” label. So sad. See ya bud. Major news outlets tried to interview him about his latest cast-astrophe but they couldn’t get him off of the couch to speak to them.

Whatever turns you on I guess:

The undersides of ice shelves (Antarctica’s Ross Ice Shelf) are usually smooth due to gradual melting. But as the camera passed through the bottom of the hole, it showed the underside of the ice adorned with a glittering layer of flat ice crystals–like a jumble of snowflakes–evidence that in this particular place, sea water is actually freezing onto the base of the ice instead of melting it.

“It blew our minds,” says Christina Hulbe, a glaciologist from the University of Otago in New Zealand, who co-led the expedition.

I wonder what turns her off?

Now this from our “We Know Better Than You” crowd. Schools boards in Toronto and other places ban the use of the term “Best Friend” by children. What is next from these progressives? Time to rid ourselves of this madness. At your next civic election vote them out and replace them with candidates who have common sense ideology.

Song of the day:

Happy post Olympic Monday.

All The Boys and Girls Now

Have enjoyed watching these games. Have had fun kibitzing with friends from afar on an almost daily basis shoring up and supporting our respective nations with friendly banter. I have had a great deal of respect for all the athletes, not just my own Canadian born. It has been great.

“BUT WE LOST TO THE SWISS IN CURLING! BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. HOW CAN THIS BE? IS THERE NO SHAME.”

Canadian hockey player takes off her silver medal in disgust during the medal award after losing the gold medal game to the US. The Toronto “Red Star” applauds this as a fitting gesture for the values of the Olympic spirit and ideal. Typical Toronto “Red Star.” One that we, as Canadians, should be proud of. Just more of the same leftist BS coming from Canada’s leading voice in the Trump Derangement Syndrome and Resistance movement. What are we coming to in this world? Applaud the American team. They played better that the Canadians and deserve their medal. Let us rejoice in celebrating this feat with the American team in the spirit of the Olympic ideal. Piss off Toronto Star. You do not speak for me.

Hey yo CBC. You did a big piece of Koe during one of your telecasts informing us that Kevin Koe was a Yellowknife native and an indigenous one at that. Yet here I am reading about the Bronze medal game that Canada lost to the Swiss indicating that Koe is a Calgary native, born in Edmonton. I mean I was born in Toronto (sorry) but have lived in Victoria most of my life. I am a native of Victoria, not Toronto.  CBC…..Geesh.

As our country goes down the toilet economically, our fearless leaders are very concerned and anxious about this:

MONTREAL – Hockey Canada was widely criticized Wednesday after a news report indicated a public address announcer at the Winter Olympics was told by the national governing body to stop using French pronunciations for the names of some Canadian players.

Federal Heritage Minister Melanie Joly said she was “extremely surprised” by Hockey Canada’s position, while Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard called it “deplorable” and “ridiculous.”

Well now……………………And here is our fearless leader’s leader comment:

Image result for Pics of trudeau during india visit“Please, to all of the gods out here. Please make sure Gerald is happy with my trip here to India? I know Canadians back home are not but who cares about them dear god. They are not me and I love being me because I am me and they’re  not me…..amen….oops, I mean…ah-people…..ah…ah…choo!”

Could you see Trump doing this? But then again, according to Trudeau, there is no such thing as Canadian core values or Canadian-ism. That means that we can be anything we want to be, at any given moment.

“I can be a Sikh one day or a Muslim another, or a Feminist, or an Indigenous Person, or even a Prime Minister – if I so desire. I mean, everyday is Halloween. Oh how I love being me!”

I can’t take anymore of this.

I notice that the games are winding down. Men’s hockey should just about end it. Hopefully a Gold here. Great games.

Update: Canada loses to Germans. Out of the Gold medal final.

Two tunes today, appropriate I think in view of these games:

And this:

  Celebration of Life for my dear wife Marijke this Sunday.

  Rest in Peace. We love you.

Read ya Monday. With the games over what will we write about? Don’t worry as there is a lot of craziness out there.

Hosers!

So what’s happening today at the games?

Watched the free-style skiing half-pipe woman’s and men’s qualifying. Canadian from Comox BC won the woman’s. Not sure about the men’s. I went to bed!

Appears that an American  woman representing Hungary qualified for the Olympics without even really competing. Her name: “Edna the Eagle:”…Good for her. Anyone can do this? Well no, they can’t:

“Skier wipes out on Half Pipe…while only wearing a G-string…at Whistler BC of all places.” Would have loved to seen that. “She lost her job at the local “Peeler Bar”” someone spouted.  It’s a new take on the “Pole Dance” another spectator was heard to say. Wow.

File PhotoVirtue and Moir capture their second Gold in Ice Dancing – congrats to these two Canadian skaters. Probably their swan song. Asked what’s next and Virtue said she would like to compete in the Half Pipe. “Ice dancing and the Half-Pipe” are a good mix she said. “There is some synergy involved here.” Moir was non-committal about his future but was eying Cross Country Skiing.

Russian “curler” ousted from Olympic competition for testing positive for a performance enhancing drug. What? Are you kidding me? For curling? Yeah, I guess those rocks are heavy man. Sent home. Probably going to a Russian Gulag next where he will be forced to watch Cross Country Skiing 23 hours a day. Hear he is going to compete in the summer games in Rhythmic Gymnastics!

Canadians share the gold with the Germans in the two-man bobsled competition. That was cool to watch. Tying in an event that comes down to milliseconds in timing? Incredible.

Appears Lindsay Vonn has two hidden messages on her. Great but the hype surrounding this skier continues unabated by the American Press. Hope she puts up in the downhill.

Love this comment:

Canadian Woman’s curler’s husband two-fisted drinking in the…heaven help us…. morning… while watching his wife, Holman compete:

“I’m not a drunk, I’m not an alcoholic, I’m just a Canadian”

Yeah, that says it all hoser. Asked who his role models are he responded. “Other than my wife, well, these guys of course:

Image result for pics of the mackenzie brothersSays it all about us Canucks doesn’t it?

Canadian hockey world all in a tizzy of worry because we only beat the Korean team 4 to zip (nothing). Are you kidding me. Hate to see you guys when you lose. C’mon, lighten up. It’s not that bad.

Canadian Hockey Team celebrates their 4 – 0 win over the North Korean team:

Canadian women’s curling team receives pep talk from Toronto Maple Leafs coach, Mike Babcock:

Mike Babcock standing in front of a crowd

Yeah, that should do it. This coming from a team, the Leafs, that hasn’t won a Stanley Cup since 1967. Someone once told me that the last time the Leafs won the Stanley Cup he was in diapers and he’d probably be in diapers when they win again. And how can you take a team seriously that can’t even spell Maple Leaves correctly. Huh! By the way, the woman’s team lost again…to China. Says it all but Trudeau is happy.

That’s my take. Another tune from Badfinger: Dedicated to the Olympic ideal: Perfection! A song for life. Successful conversation but stay clear of toxic social media:

Great song.

Cross Country Tee

Image result for pics of the 2018 winter gamesHey McKenna (Canada’s Environment and Climate Change Minister). It’s PyongChang, not PyongYang as you have commented. PyongYang is in North Korea Kate!

See even these guys – Ying and Yang – are having a laugh over that one.

Yes, Geography is hard Kate!

What’s going on over at the games? Well, it is hard for us to watch here on Vancouver Island and Mill Bay as we have about a 3 hour window to watch these games live. We are 18 hours behind South Korea. They are 18 hours ahead of us or, put it another way, 6 hours behind us in time but tomorrow. Tomorrow! Get it? I cannot explain this anomaly of the time zones and the impact that the International Date Line has on dating! Just take my word for it.

My favourite spectator sport – Cross Country Skiing.

Image result for pics of cross country skiing at the 2018 winter gamesI mean c’mon folks. Would you rather watch that (above) or this:

One more time. This:

Image result for pics of olympic hockey\My Swiss friends would agree. You get my drift though. I mean, participating in Cross Country Skiing is one thing but to watch it? Totally:

Image result for pics of spectators sleeping  Yawn! I agree.

My take on Snow Angels yesterday got some spin. I do believe it should be an Olympic Winter Sport at the 2022 games. See, even this guy agrees with me:

Image result for pics of mr t                                                                                                        I mean, it’s artistic; takes physical and mental fortitude and meets all of the Olympic ideals in sweep harder, stroke faster and think quicker (sic). Yes, I love to watch it as well:

Image result for pics of snow angels             Image result for pics of snow angels                            I mean it could be synchronized. I am so excited here with the possibilities and potential of this sport. Bring it on. A crowd pleaser no doubt about it.

Have a nice Friday. Read ya Monday. Remember “What’d I Say” about snow angels.

Winter Games

Image result for nice pics of the 2018 winter games

Been watching a lot of the games in Korea. Great stuff!

NBC coverage

Had to watch the opening ceremonies on the NBC network. The opening ceremony was fantastic, music mesmerizing and the special effects impressive. What was not so nice was the constant nattering from the NBC hosts. They approached the opening ceremony as if it was Monday Night Football. Play by play by Katie Couric with a colour commentary provided by her male host and some unknown dude named Rambo – er Ramo.

Awful, just bloody awful. And it was one of those males colour commentators, Ramo I think, who got the network into a diplomatic brew – ha -ha with comments about Japan importance in Asia and Korea’s admiration of Japan’s influence to their own transformation economically and culturally. Nobody, least of all the Koreans, were laughing, or drinking after that remark – 1910 – 1945 refers!

Slide 7 of 7: Gold - Mikael Kingsbury - Freestyle Skiing - Men's Moguls Way to go Canada. Whew!

 

Meanwhile back at the Canadian ranch located on Parliament Hill, Ottawa:

Heard in passing regarding new Liberal government policy leading up to the 2019 Federal erection…er election!

“Yo, Canadians: Lay down your shovels, sit on your ass, light up a joint. This is the Promised Land.” Yessss!

New Liberal election motto:

“Baristas on every corner.”

Not much else going on today. It is a BC Provincial Holiday: “Family Day.” BC, the only province in Canada that schedules this holiday on a day that is out of sync with the rest of Canada………….Geesh!

Just an appropriate song for these games I think:

Happy Monday.
