this should be fun
In 2 weeks on the long weekend 5 of us are getting into a car,a bonnyville to be exact and zooming to Regina,that jewel of the praires where we all shall don our kilts and throw things.
let me point out that i am 5 foot 8 and about 220 pounds, one of the other guys is about the same size as me and the other 3 just keep getting bigger. this shall be quite the sausage sweat box.
we shall compete on saturday and then immediatly jump back into the car and come home.
this will be a painful weekend, especially the 5 sweaty guys on the trip home in a somewhat confined space.
I will let your imagination run with this one as my pizza just arrived and I must consume it
toodles

Of cutting torches and a french car.
So the r8 is stranded helpessly upon it's roof as seen in the pictures below and my mission is to excise the front suspension parts. I eyeball all the rusty bolts in tight spots and am thinking merde, this is gonna suck to pull all this out of there.
Fire- man has harnessed it, refined it, put it under the yoke of sevitude. I shall impart the sevices of fire in my quest to remove the front bits of the forlorne renault. Out comes the cutting torch or as we affectionatly call it-the gas axe- and I proceed to divest the car of it's front cross member.
I cut something off the fire wall and lo- fire escapes it's yoke and rampages with feirce abandon. the floor matts are still glued to the floor and guess what,they like to burn.
shit
I walk into the shop calling out that I need a fire extinguisher. no on seems to care. so I request louder and the guys are all looking at me with blank stares.
Fire, what is this fire you speak of, describe this fire?
Me-the fucking car is burning!!!!!!!!! - quite loudly
one the guys peers out and sees that indeed there is oily black smoke belching forth from the inverted shell of the renault and decides that it is probaly not a bad idea to give me a fire fighting device.
Every one follows me out to observe my stunning skills at smothering rampant flames which at the point are pretty big and moocho intense. Takes about a minute but the job is done and the stench of burning rubber and extinguisher powder is quite prevalent.
The boys retire to the shop and I survey the craptacularness of the whole situation when up the alley come a dude to find out what is going on. This is the surreal part, the guy is in a french beret and one of those side ways striped french shirts and he even has a little french moustache but alas no french accent. This is kinda weird as I was burning a french car. fucked up world.
that is all I got.

Correction to post below
I was not very clear on this post- it is the water level that is a foot and half higher on the west coast of the pacific due to the earths spin.
The weirdness of our world
Th west coast of the pacific ocean is a foot and a half higher than the east coast due to the spin of the planet. wow

Of clippers and baldness
I have had a couple epiphanies whilst performing some maintanence on my skull.
1. eating an apple whilst operating clippers is somewhat of a mistake. The gravitational effect of a larger body on smaller bodies is demonstrated quite well.
The direction the hair was proceeding mattered not, once it was away from the gravitational pull of my cranium it was instantly caught in the gravitational pull of the apple. Quite remarkable really.
2. I have a big head. There is a lot of real estate on my noodle and it takes a healthy amount of time to clip it all. It is quite the amount of work to mow the lawn that is the vast expanse of my brain box..
The things i do to look pretty.
That is all.

Mrs. Henderson Presents
the flick in the previous post was more thean amusing it was just lovely. Christopher Guest plays the Lord Chamberlain, he plays a stuffy englishman so well. Who could forget him as the evil yet soft spoken 6 fingered count in The Princess Bride and of course his defining role as Nigel Tufnel in This is Spinaltap, an all time classic.
I must warn you though, there is one scene with full frontal nudity with Bob Hoskins. I have tried washing my eyes out with bleach but to no avail. you see something like that and it becomes permanant (shiver)
