According to the UK Press, this is the dish Kate Middleton loves to cook:
Yesss!
Beginning to like her more and more.
Another UK Nugget. Only the Brits could come up with a headline like this one:
It’s a male copper by the way! Love those Brit tabloids.
How’s that Climate Change thingy doing for ya? Remember that Alice Cooper song? No more winters, no more snow!
Toronto Ice Storm (almost May)
From the “It’s always someone else’s fault” file comes this:
With (Canadian) household debt now at a record 171 per cent of average annual disposable income, the country faces the risk of a much worse sort of housing downturn: The kind caused by defaulting borrowers, leading to financially troubled banks, and inevitably, a recession.
But hey, its the government’s fault. Look in the mirror buddy.
For all those Canadians in massive debt here is the “Joke of the week:”
The Jewish Tie Salesman
The Jewish Tie Salesman
A fleeing Taliban terrorist, desperate for water, was plodding through the Afghan desert when he saw something far off in the distance.
Hoping to find water, he hurried toward the mirage, only to find a very frail little old Jewish man standing at a small makeshift display rack – selling ties.
The Taliban terrorist asked, “Do you have water?”
The Jewish man replied, “I have no water. Would you like to buy a tie? They are only $5.”
The Taliban shouted hysterically, “Idiot Infidel! I do not need such an over-priced western adornment. I spit on your ties. I need water!
“Sorry, I have none, just ties – pure silk, and only $5.”
“Pahh! A curse on your ties! I should wrap one around your scrawny little neck and choke the life out of you but . . . I must conserve my energy and find water!”
“Okay,” said the little old Jewish man. It does not matter that you do not want to buy a tie from me,*or *that you hate me, threaten my life, and call me infidel. I will show you that I am bigger than any of that. If you continue over that hill to the east for about two miles, you will find a restaurant. It has the finest food and all the ice-cold water you need. Go In Peace.”
Cursing him again, the desperate Taliban staggered away, over the hill.
Several hours later, he crawled back, almost dead, and gasped, “They won’t let me in without a tie!
Good one. We need more laughter in our lives…politically correct or not!
Love this!
What will weather patterns look like by the end of the century?
Went sailing yesterday. The forecast. Sunny with cloudy periods, winds light from the NE at 5 knots. What did we get? Cloudy, raining and winds up to 12 knots from the SE.
How do they know? Well they don’t as they can’t even predict the weather tomorrow. And what models do they use in their predictions? Why these of course:
Various methods of predicting and tracking weather have been used for thousands of years, but in recent times weather patterns have become increasingly indicative of climate change. The prediction: a future of extremes, ranging from droughts, heavy rainfall, and extensive heatwaves to longer growing seasons. Here are 20 ways scientists project the weather will change, worldwide, by the end of the 21st century.
Of course, all the usual suspects. And how do they know? They don’t. This climate model would be just as accurate:
It’s going to be foggy out there for sure. Or maybe this:
Or this:
Yup, that’ll do it.
Check out my book Kurofune. Just click on the link at the top right of this page.
Hey, check out my first novel published on Amazon. “Kurofune: The Black Ships. A Novel of World War II.” Getting great reviews. Click on the link at the top right of this page and check it out….thanks.
Love this from the UK:
‘I’m not having children because I want to save the planet’
What’s the best thing you can do to help save the environment? For Anna, a cycling instructor and writer living in Bath, it’s to have fewer children. She has chosen not to have any at all.
First of all why does somebody need to pay someone to teach them how to ride a bicycle. Isn’t that what dads are for? Oops sorry for the white privilege.
Secondly, I say great, the world doesn’t need more offspring from some idiot that could potentially taint the gene pool. After all that is why we have the Darwin Awards.
She / they say that the world’s population is exploding therefore people should be having less or no children. Well this plays right into Islam’s ideology. “If we can’t overrun you by the sword we will destroy you demographically.” Islam poker match:
“Hey I see your 2.5 kids and will raise you 10. My call”
LA is treating its streets with some sort of “white coloured film-over” to combat climate change. Hey isn’t this a white privilege initiative? Black Lives Matter were all in a tit-shit over this latest move by the LA city council.
Speaking of so called whiteness and idiocy / stupidity. Some journalist from Macleans / Globe and Mail reported on the Humboldt Tragedy “Go Fund Me” initiative (SDA):
I’m trying to not get cynical about what is a totally devastating tragedy but the maleness, the youthfulness and the whiteness of the victims are, of course, playing a significant role here.
Unbelievable! Would she say the same thing if they were black, or Asian? So racist, so utterly callous, so utterly bullshit. She should be fired for her callousness but she won’t. That only happens to white males here in Canada!
On the “how do these idiots ever get elected” file comes this. Again from London:
“Led by London Mayor and notably weak-kneed coward Sadiq Khan the British nation has now decided to fight back against knife violence… by a new campaign that should be called: Ban the blade. It could be called: Forever chopsticks. In truth, it’s called: knife control.”
Now, Benson continues, you are going to have to show an ID card before you purchase a carving knife. But, it’s not just carving knives. The new rules are also going to restrict the sales of plastic knives. But, the enquiring mind wants to know, what about forks? And, what about pitchforks? And what about Fork-lifts?
And:
British Parliament is also set to take up heavy “knife control” legislation when it resumes this week. The U.K. government is expected to introduce a ban on online knife sales and home knife deliveries, declare it “illegal to possess zombie knives and knuckledusters in private”
Zombie knives? Are you kidding me. Don’t they know that zombies:
Like this guy.
ARE ALREADY DEAD! A knife can’t hurt them! I can’t make this stuff up. Someone added: “how are we going to eat our food now? Especially lobsters.
“Fingers just don’t cut it” someone else remarked.
No, it’s all a plot for this:
Not a knife to be seen. Or box cutters.
“No we use our knives and box cutters for more important things.”
Why most of Meghan Markle’s family will not be at the royal wedding:
While Prince Harry’s family will turn out in force for his May 19 wedding to Meghan Markle, the same can’t be said for the bride’s family. That’s because the Markle family is a tangle of half-siblings, multiple divorced spouses and their children. The dysfunction, feuds and recriminations in this middle-class American family with more than its share of good and bad fortune are such that it’s hard to keep her family tree straight.
Hmmm, must be the direct descendants of Henry the VIIIth!
From Journalistate comes this bit of fluff: Angelina’s daughter used to be gorgeous. Now she looks insane!
Yeah, just like her mother!
Things you would never hear 20 years ago:
“Sometimes becoming a parent feels out of my reach. My wife and I both have uteruses, and sperm costs too damn much.”
You got that right Virginia, Virginia. About $250K according to today’s parent. Poor kids! No father. Damn that SJW, white privilege rhetoric again!
Gotta love this one. From a Christian abortionist (isn’t that a Christian oxymoron?):
Quote of the year!: “Aborting babies is my Christian calling”…say what?
He says he is “quite comfortable talking about the moral and spiritual center.” He calls it “dignity restoration.” It’s okay to sin, so long as you convince yourself to feel good about it.
As long as it feels good it’s okay. Psychopaths are in a tizzy over this one!
I mean that’s why the Catholic Church invented Confession isn’t it? Just go in to the Priest Cave once a week to seek atonement and absolution, and voila, the slates clean so you can now go out and sin again, and again, and again. So very, very righteous. These guys were geniuses. Like you car, your soul needs a tune-up and a wash (with wax) every once in awhile.
And, and, the Pope now says that hell doesn’t exist and by its own corollary, Satan, or the devil him / her, zir, zey, zits, titz… self can’t exist without his own dominion to look out over.
It was getting too hot in the kitchen I guess…….Geeesh
The world is getting crazier and crazier. I love it as it keeps my blog relevant.
Check out my book Kurofune. Great read I am told. Click on the link at the top right corner of this web page.
Things Costco employees want to tell customers but can’t….shop at Walmart!
You know things are getting crazy when you read stuff like this:
Russian state-owned television is urging the country’s residents to stock their bunkers with water and basic foodstuffs because Moscow could go to war with Washington.
Warning that the potential conflict between the two superpowers would be “catastrophic,” an anchor for Russia’s Vesti 24 showed off shelves of food, recommending that people buy salt, oatmeal and other products that can last a long time on the shelves. Powdered milk lasts five years while sugar and rice can last up to eight years, the newscaster explained before showing videos of pasta cooking in a bomb shelter.
And then it, the pasta, exploded with tomato sauce everywhere. After a few days it smelled awful with garlic. So bad was it that the inhabitants prayed for a nuclear strike. They ran out of their shelter. “Thatza okay” one Italian Russian was heard to say. “If da end of da world comes we all gonna bend down and kissa our asses goodbye.”
“Hey Yo…what about climate change?”
Meanwhile in North Korea:
What happens if I press this button?
Nooooooo
“How I love the smell of (insert WMD here) in the morning.”
Yo…hey Mr Trump… man up man!
I see Trudeau is off on another international junta…er sorry, junket. South America of all places. Figures! He leaves behind Alberta and Saskatchewan all but at war with British Columbia over the Kinder Morgan pipeline while the clock ticks towards a May 31 deadline set by Kinder Morgan to cancel the multi-billion project. No matter, no story here folks, move on.
Meanwhile, and this kills me, this is a crisis which requires the prime minister,” NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh told reporters on Parliament Hill Wednesday. “The mess is created by the prime minister. The prime minister absolutely has a responsibility to be here.” This from a guy who has stated categorically that all fossil resources should remain in the ground and who wants to take Canada back to the dark ages, economically.
Well South America is a great place to start this “back to the past” crusade for Trudeau and ole Jag… stop singing. Next stop after Peru – where Trudeau will pray to his Inca gods at Macho Peekaboo for sage advice:
“Damn, wrong shrine! Whose to blame here? Fire that guy wearing the black truban.”
“Go… visit… Venezuela” he was heard to chant after leaving the sacred site.
“You don’t understand” Butts (Trudeau’s Chief of Staff) remarked when asked about alternatives to the oil sands project. “We want an alternative economy. Not one based on fossil fuels or resources. That is sooo 2001. And that is why our Dear Leader is visiting Venezuela. To see how they have accomplished what they have in such a short time. Much like China, our Dear Leader is amazed at how they can literally change their economy on a dime. He truly respects Maduro.”
No story here folks. Move on.
And after that visit and, in keeping with the Salsa traditions he learned while visiting Macho Peekaboo….
Again, wrong dance Gerald. Whose to blame? Fire that guy wearing the blue truban.
Premier Horgan and his sidekick Andrew Weaver must be ecstatic now that Kinder Morgan have put their pipeline expansion plans on hold. Yes, Virginia there are consequences for their actions:
$47 billion lost in government revenue – 800,000 man hours of work gone if the Trans Mountain pipeline gets scrapped, loss of social programs, investor credibility, loss of leadership – not that we ever had any at the provincial and federal level, rule of law and integrity………………priceless.
Kinder surprise Horgan. Banned in the US for good reason. It could cause babies and toddlers to choke – like the BC Caucus.
What’s inside it you ask?
Coming to a Vancouver neighborhood near you.
“Yeah butt (sic)”….Weaver was heard to say…” we’ll have barista joints on every corner. Can’t wait” Gerald Butts, Trudeau’s Chief of Staff nodded in agreement, as he took another toke on his dope smoke…yesss!
BC Provincial “Mace”
Gas at record levels, industry leaving the province, poverty levels soar, provincial GDP tanks. “Yeah butt”…Horgan remarked. Think of all those tourists coming here to take pictures of our Ghost Towns – throughout the province. It’s a win, wynne situation, I tells ya.
Gerald Butts, Trudeau’s chief of staff nodded in agreement, as he took another draw from his smoke…dope…toke.
BC’s gross (sick) domestic product
Grammerly app participation soars in BC government corridors of power after use of “Fook You” escalates on BC’s Letterhead.
Such hypocrisy here. Waiting to hear the outcry when gas hits $2 bucks per litre here in BC. This summer no doubt.
I always thought the NDP party represented workers. Guess not and why oh why does the east coast get a pass with their oil imports from the middle east? And why does the vocal minority always get their way out here in la la land?
Canada? As stupid is as stupid does. BC’s finance minister (below), was beside himself, and everybody else, with glee.
Tree huggers unite:
Wedding season is soon upon us in BC.
And where is Trudeau in all of this?
Giving thanks to Gaia of course.
Horgan and Weaver’s record so far? They have destroyed the LNG industry here in BC and with it the oil and gas sector as well. What’s their game plan? To destroy all resource based activity here for all time. I am laughing…crying!
Time to get out of Dodge…but I do feel sorry for my children.
You know, the province of BC and Ontario puts more weight into their Sex Education Programs then they do to financial acumen. That is why the adults today have no financial clue. If only they could teach our elementary students how not to blow a personal budget rather than how to blow other things.
That’s my rant for today.
Song of the day. Canada’s new national anthem:
SJ………………Out.
Still saddened by Humboldt. God bless everyone. Hug your kids.
The aggravated sexual assault charge laid by police against her attacker was dropped because the case took too long to go to trial. Shitty
Human remains found in Markham Ontario. Police won’t say how they found them but will not proceed with the case until daylight so that they can see what they’re doing. Judge throws prosecution out because it has taken the police too long to find them.
Sad: California family drives car off of a cliff. Whole family killed. Police are not sure as yet as to motive. Was it an Uber? A self drive? If they take too long in their investigation the case will be dropped…off the cliff! Why can’t the parents just do themselves in and leave the children out of it….Geesh!
Channing and Jenna divorcing after 9 years of marriage. I have two questions concerning this bit of news fluff. Who the f%$K are Channing and Jenna and who gives two f&#ks as to their marriage status?
This just in:
A pair of self-described sex instructors from Belarus have been stuck in a Thai detention center for weeks. They say they have evidence demonstrating Russian interference in the 2016 presidential erection in the United States, and that they have offered it to the F.B.I. in exchange for a guarantee of their safety.
Their claim — that they are targets of a covert, undercover Russian operation to silence them because they know too much — might seem outlandish, but their case certainly includes some unusual circumstances. I’ll say it does. Could be a “Trojan” in the making here, one Russian official was heard to remark. It appears that they are out to screw Trump no matter what.
Love this: On March 23, upset by a protest interrupting a Friday night dinner service – one of several staged in recent months at Antlers in Toronto — Hunter took a leg of venison to a high-top table overlooking the street, placed it on a cutting board and separated the meat from the bone. The gesture riled the protesters watching through the window, with one accusing Hunter of taunting the vegans with the “leg of a recently murdered deer.” Hunter returned half an hour later to eat a piece of seared venison steak in front of the vegans. The Vegans were salivating with disgusto!
Something we couldn’t wait to hear: Katie Nicholl, royal expert and author of the new book Harry: Life, Loss, and Love, told ET that while the queen will have a “very prominent and important role” in Harry and Meghan’s wedding on May 19, she won’t be hitting the floor at the reception – especially if the Spice Girls end up performing. “She’s going to want to be a very important part of that day and indeed she will,” the author explained. “But I think when it comes to the evening reception and certainly the party, if the Spice Girls are performing, then I don’t think the queen’s going to be on the dance floor.” No she is a Macarena fan!
“That’s it Mum. Put your left foot forward.”
“I hate those Spice Girls Justine. They’re so 1980s. After all this is 2018 you know.”
“I know Mum, I know.”
Latest candidates for the “Darwin Awards” Condom snorting is the newest “challenge” and a dangerous online trend that’s become popular among young people through social media.
Rival to the “Tide Pod Challenge,” “condom snorting” is a dangerous practice that involves inhaling a rubber condom up one’s nose so that it can then be fished out through the mouth. The whole thing is recorded and uploaded to YouTube or another social media outlet.
Of course, there is a huge risk. If someone inhales a piece of rubber it can get stuck and result in a blocked airway, which can lead to choking and suffocation. “I can think of better ways to use these things, can’t you?” Russian Sex Coaches agreed.
“Climate Change is humanity’s greatest threat” – so says the UN IPCC. No, the UN is humanity’s greatest threat!
Love this (from Maggie’s Farm): Feminist Geography? What is it? Well:
Feminist geographers “challenge the masculinist formation of science as objective, gender-neutral, and value-free” by studying topics such as “spatial subjectivities” and “emotional geographies.”
Say what? Oh, you mean this:
Yessss, emotional geographies the female Geographer was heard to scream.
Or, that is why women can’t read maps or drive a car in reverse!
Spatial Geography…a real challenge
Say no more.
Song of the day? Geography? Well, it’s the world I know. (Collective Soul)
