passed away a few days ago...  My pull has been bat-chained god dammit!  Beefheart and Zappa were the soundtrack of our youth (unless we were at some random pit-party where you try to score with a pit-girl).  What a fucking drag!  I know I died a little inside... sorta like when… Read full post »

I made the mistake nearly two years ago by trying to be too clever by half when a prominent Jewish actor died.  Ben Stiller decided that I would never again be allowed to comment or blog on the Huff Post.  I tried to re-up my membership because it irks me that… Read full post »

and it seems to me that most of us are not suffering through mind-bending withdrawals but seem to be in love with our own selfish ways.  In nearly every instance we just do what feels best for us.  Self-indulgence, plain and simple... 

That being said, don't treat those that you… Read full post »

Tiger Woods lost a tournament that he held in his hot little hands for three days.  Am I ecstatic about?  Nope.  Do I feel a little schadenfreudey?  Fuckin' A I do!  I am a golfer too.  I have never met, played with or watched such a poor sport in my life. … Read full post »

Check out some of Frank Zappa's best concert footage on Youtube (from 1979!) before the conglomerates get their dirty paws on it!  I wish I knew how to skip them this way but I am illiterate.  Hurry! Read full post »

Come on.  These guys sleep half the day. If there were such things as vampires it seems to me they would be pretty easy to eradicate.  Excuse me Sir, mind if I open a door or window 'round here?  Sorry, I just got my fix of "True Blood" ...  I also watched the… Read full post »

We laugh and make sport of Sarah Palin's announcement.  I remember one of my Mom's fellow PTA members walking up to her after a close-fought loss and saying "Your kids might be in school now but I have three more that haven't set eyes on Kindergardén!"   She was right, Mom had… Read full post »

Is it just me or are our children seemingly shrink-wrapped?  Have times changed so much that we have gone from the gruff but approachable beat cop "Hiya Joe!" to the robotic nightmare from the second Terminator movie?  It would seem so.  I grew up through the late 60's and early 70's.&… Read full post »

I have been picking up disturbing signs amongst the O.S. community.  What the fuck is going on and what the hell is a flounce?  Query. Read full post »

This has nothing to do with me or the goings on in my front yard.  This time the "dull thud" that I speak of is not about some teen-age shennanigans.  This particular thud is about the Western conciousness regarding our collective grief over Neda that was given over in one fell… Read full post »

I was just on my way to bed when I heard a dull thud.  Teen-aged kids decided to plant their car in the ditch in my front yard.  They missed the power pole by inches and landed so softly that the airbags  didn't even deploy.  They say that God watches over… Read full post »

I know I shouldn't complain but this whole Father's Day thing just seems to get harder every year.  My partner and kids are diabolically planning my every move this weekend and there is no apparent escape.  Fishing trip with toddler and infant Grandchildren in tow? Check.  A pre-paid t… Read full post »

Yep, we blew it.  I was hoping that enough anger was generated at the corporate agenda so that we could elect a government that would stand up for the people in this province rather than the West Vancouver elite.  I was wrong, again.  In case any of you didn't realize it, West… Read full post »
