Ron embarrasses Kate AGAIN

On By Rick McIn friends, humourLeave a comment

Seems Rockin’ made some comic business cards for Kate. Using old photos to humourous effect.

… Late that afternoon, I began noticing that the photographs on the cards I was doling out weren’t all the same. Most contained a picture of my smiling face, but one featured me with an iguana on my head, and another showed me wearing a highly unbecoming English Bobby’s hat. Stanley had evidently thrown in a few unappetizing images from our family photo collection. …

I don’t see what she’s complaining about. 🙂

… looks like I’ll be out to visit the Shewchuks just before that holiday Ron shares with Jesus.

The Lady and the Monk

For a National Cultural Holiday in Japan — my host Shiro Tanaka wrote and acted in a comic skit performed at a Buddhist English language festival.

The short play was intended to make a Buddhist parable more memorable by being FUNNY. It worked. Especially when Shiro mixed up the order of his lines.

Hosted by the International Buddhist Congregation, part of Rissho Kosei-kai. IBC offers an English language service every Sunday.

We stayed at the excellent adjacent Pilgrimage Hall at no cost.

Thanks Shiro and IBC for inviting me.

S.W. Calgary Independence Militia

At age-18, I was embedded as a Milk Man – working the Palm Daries N.E. International Avenue route.

Those were different times.

We were young and idealistic. (i.e. easily brainwashed.)

Don’t try to paint the S.W.C.I.M. as racist. We had plenty of Jewish comrades and even one Pakistani family in our quadrant, just as eager to protect property values.

It was economics. That’s all.

We weren’t anti-immigration, but rather wanted it regulated. Our traditional sources of low cost, unskilled labour were slaving well, thank-you very much: Saskatchewan, Newfoundland and Edmonton.

Today almost anybody can live in S.W. Calgary.

And milkmen are obsolete. 🙂

Brittany (S. Pierce) is played by Heather Morris.

… Her big break came in 2007 via Beyoncé. Morris was one of Beyoncé’s backup dancers on The Beyoncé Experience world tour …

Morris was taking acting classes and actively pursuing an acting career when she was asked … to teach the choreography for Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies” dance to the Glee actors. At the same time, the show was looking for a third cheerleader, and Morris ended up landing the role of Brittany.

Initially a background character who hardly ever spoke, the role grew as writers discovered Morris had a gift for delivering one-liners …

Putin is a MAN’S MAN

Who wouldn’t want to be a ruthless dictator … who gets to indulge his every adventurous fantasy.

Not only does Putin have his own personal photographer following his every move, day and night, but she’s a former model and “Miss Moscow” finalist.
