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.

SJ…………………………………….Out

 

Celebration

How’s the games going today? Or was it yesterday? Or maybe it was tomorrow? Gawd I hate these time zones. Thank you Sandford Fleming. Was he one of Sandford and Son’s sons?

So what time is it Gladys in PyeongChang?

Image result for Time Zone of Confusion Funny PicsWoman’s hockey final was very exciting. But I hate to see a team win or lose in a shootout. Too much like that beautiful game they call football:

Image result for Pics of footbal hooliganismAnd they won for heaven sakes. In a shootout. Only 15 killed! After 94 minutes of play the final score was, you guessed it, 0-0.

Woman’s hockey final game ended in a 2-2 draw. One overtime period then the shootout. US won but I have to say they outplayed Canada, especially in the 3rd and overtime periods. Great game gals. Very entertaining. No fights at all.

USA celebrated after beating Canada in a shootout to win the gold medal.Now that’s a beautiful game gals. Thanks.

CBC’s sports reporter Colleen then asked the Captain of the winning US team:

“So, how does it feel to win?”

” Oh, the shits really Colleen. The shit’s”

Colleen then asked the Canadian team’s captain:

“So, how does it feel to lose the gold to the US after having beat them for the last 4 Olympic games – 16 years? Is this the end of woman’s hockey in Canada?”

The team captain burst into tears after that question

“Back to you Scott” Colleen said.

“Thanks Colleen, great job, as usual.”

Didn’t see too much after that. Germany beat the Swedes in men’s hockey to advance to the semi finals. Canada will play Germany while Russia and the Cheques will play off. And what is it with this Olympic Athletes from Russia non sense. This could only come from the IOC! They received advice on this from the Canadian government officials….Geesh.

Scott Moir pissed at Woman’s hockey final and yelling at the refs.

“No, I am not a drunk, I do not have a drinking problem. I am not an alcoholic. I am a Canadian.”

Yeah that says it all. When asked who was / are his role models he remarked:

These guys of course:

Image result for pics of the mackenzie brothers   Canadian philosophy! Eh?

What else is going on? Not much. As usual NBC with its Lindsay Vonn marathon reporting at the expense of everyone else. Sounds like CNN with its on, and on, and on, and on it goes.

Song for the day: Let’s hear it for the US Woman’s Hockey Team:

SJ………………………………….Out

 

Thanks Colleen!

Mike Babcock standing in front of a crowd

Canadian women’s curling went down to Great Britain. Kaput! Out! Told ya. Ever since that pep talk from Babcock, the head coach of the Leafs, the team has pretty much self destructed. And the CBC was up to its usual interviewing standard after the match with its questions to the women’s skip Holman

Colleen Jones, one of CBC’s most stalwart journalists, posed these questions to the woman’s skip after the match:

CBC: “So uh, how are you all feeling right now after this crushing loss to Great Britain?” or even better: “Tell us what’s going through your mind right now after being eliminated by a far inferior team?” or even better: “How are you going to respond to all of your critics out there? Is your loss a wake-up call for Canadian Curling.”

Holman burst into tears. Colleen broke it off and said:

“Back to you Scott.”

“Thanks Colleen. Great job, as usual!”

She reminds me of Hockey Night is Canada’s Scott Oke:

“So, tell me and our viewing audience, how does it feel to lose the Stanley Cup?”  Duh!

I am also getting really tired of CBC’s diversity, huggy feely slant during these games. Especially the pro Islam take during some of these commercial breaks. The CFL did this to a great extent during the 2017 football season. This turned a lot of people off and the teams that wore these “diversity is our strength” tees then went on to lose bigly. And I haven’t yet seen a Canadian of Muslim faith Olympian at these games. Especially the woman’s figure skating, nor the men’s figure skating. Have you? Yet the CBC continues to push their Islam, transgendered, homosexual narrative – that “only a mother could love.” And that is why I never watch the CBC, outside of these games, because the NBC coverage is really, really bad. Thank you lord for the mute button. Keep politics out of these games.

Lindsay Vonn goes home with just the Bronze in woman’s downhill. She is in tears. Well, there was so much hype afforded her by the NBC journalism troglodytes that they call reporters and colour commentators at these games, no wonder she is down about this. I feel sorry for her. She should be proud of her accomplishments. She should ignore the press. Of course the WaPo, the NYT, the Hill are trying to pin her disappointment on Trump! Keep politics out of these games. Is Trump a coach in woman’s downhill skiing? Just wondering.

Man, that ski-cross is quite an exciting thing to watch. Canada won gold! Sure beats Cross Country Skiing wouldn’t you say? Would love to hear an interview such as this from Colleen Jones to Canadian Brady Leman after his gold winning run.

“So Brady, how does it feel to win the gold in front of so many people?”

“Well actually the shits Colleen. How would you feel?”

I would love to see and hear an athlete put these poor excuses called journalists doorknobs in their place. Is this the standard we can expect from Ryerson Grads?

Love this Headline: “In Iraq Hezbollah has 15 US M1 Tanks and the US wants them back!”

“Bahahahahahahahahahahahahah, Mommy, we want our tanks back and they won’t give them to us.” – an US Pentagon spokesperson was heard to cry.

Back to the games:

Appears the French Skating Federation is upset at the judging of the Ice Dancing. Their team came in a close second to Virtue and Moir’s gold winning performance. “We’re not used to losing.” a French Official responded. “Oh really.” someone from the Royal Navy, who was at these games, was heard to remark.

Only a few days left for the games. Unbelievable. Then again look on the bright side: We won’t have to watch or put up with Cross Country Skiing for another 4 years – Yay!

Song of the day. Anthony’s Harty’s cover of the Badfinger Song:

Check out the bass player and the male string section. I love this song:

Enjoy the games.

Looking east from Mill Bay this morning at 0702 am at a very beautiful sunrise. Gawd, there is a God!

SJ………………………………Out

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.
