Happy Canada Day, eh?

What do you do, play pin the tail on the mountie?
Bust a moose pinata?
Drink a keg o' Labatt's?

Whatever, have a good time!

Happy Canada Day, dufus! And good luck fishing, golfing or whatever you're doing for an excuse to drink beer all weekend.

(P.S. Party hearty, but too much beer will make you a farty Marty.)

Well we didn't need an excuse Friday. Whitey, Sir Drinksalot and I just drank beer. Today was golf day. It wasn't pretty.

Those are all good activities.I'll have to remember them next year, Chris. This year we just played hide and seek with our beavers.
nonamedufus said…
Thanks, Quirks. I'll remember to give you a salute on Monday.

All of the above!

The Polka Dot Door

It's For You

I'm going to show my age here - and at my age be thankful that's all I'm going to show - but I can recall growing up as a kid in Toronto and we had one telephone in the house. It was a wall-mounted, black rotary-dial affair behind the door in our kitchen. If you stretched the cord you could actually sit down at the kitchen table while you talked on the phone. This was in the mid-50s, hardly on the heels of the device's invention, nevertheless - having been patented by Alexander Graham Bell in 1876 - it was still in it's formative years. Coloured models, the Princess phone, and the push button model were all yet to come, to say nothing of wireless home phones and the cell phone. The telephone, by the way, figured prominently in comedian Bob Newhart's early stand-up routine. In the late 50s/early 60s Newhart made his mark using a telephone as a prop and having hilarious one-sided conversations. It was a device he used for years. The telephone also played a ce...
