Rob Ford ladies and gentlemen

In May I was hanging out with some Torontoans....Torontoites.....guys from Toronto and they told me about their mayor and what a mess he is and that I should follow him.  And I am sooooooo glad I did.  I've been watching him before it became stylish to do so.

Sidenote: met these guys in Mexico.  Good guys.  Was wearing my Bruins hat and they came up and started talking to me.  Die hard hockey guys- of course.  And the first thing that they asked....was about the bombings.  That's BostonStrong.  That's what it means.  Good people coming together against evil.  That's what people like Billy Meagher or whatever his name is - who think that the 9/11 hijackers are braver than the American military because they crashed the planes- don't get.  Good he's an asshole.  Actually- I shouldn't insult assholes.

Back to Rob.  This guy is nuts.  Drunk driving, stopping on the side of the road to piss, admits smoking crack, admits buying illegal drugs after clearly thinking of another response but not being able to come up with one and now shows up at a press conference to discuss going down on hookers in cowboy boots and a custom XXXXLLLL jersey.

And those crazy Canucks have no way to get him out.  He's not getting convicted of a crime before his term ends in October.  It's going to be free reign for the next 11 months.

Sorry for my Toronto buds but this is fun to watch.

How?

1st off I don't talk about either one.

But I think the point is to focus on the good and not the bad.

Ok, did that.  Now what?  Problems still there.  Seem to come every day.  More and more and more and more.  Does it ever stop?  Is this just adulthood?  Every day worry about money, kids, etc.

Sucks sucks sucks.

I need to hit it big, then open a bar on the beach and we can swim all day.

Now.

The best fictious beer is.....

Duff.  No argument whatsoever.  A staple of when the Simpsons was watchable.

P.S. I knew a guy named Duff.  If I was him I would have had that Duff beer can tattooed so fast it would have made your head spin.

P.S.S. If you are Duff and reading this shoot me an email.  Miss you pal.

Even more stupid than snow this morning....

Are the people complaining about it.

Hate snow.  But live in New England so will deal with it.

And have a neighbor with a snowblower.

And a former rugger who lives up the street with a plow.

And a pair of kick ass boots.

So bring it winter.  Give me everything you got!  You don't scare me!

Executive of the Year!

And somewhere Bobby V is telling people this was all part of his master plan.

If you are the Cubs, or their fans, many of whom are my friends, how pissed would you be that you didn't go after this guy but have to pay a buttload to Theo instead.

Poor Cubs.  Serves you right for what you did to poor Steve Bartman.


P.S. Theo, who makes millions of dollars a year, believes in redistribution of wealth.  To my knowledge he still accepts his full paycheck.

You don't teach a toddler to walk by scolding them when they fall....

Is the line Meghan Mutrie used (pictured above) regarding the broadcasters for the USA/All Blacks game this weekend.

She was a sideline reporter and in the interest of full disclosure I thought she did a really good job.

She was fielding a complaint about the bias from the announcers towards America when she gave that toddler line.  Three things:

1).  I really didn't think they were biased.  Although the US lost, they played their asses off against the best team in the world and that's how the game was called;

2). I like the line as it's quite insulting;

3). Are you really saying that about your coworkers?  Seriously?  Like you are going to work with them again and that's what you say?  Don't know if I hate or respect that.

Final thoughts on the game.  US did play their asses off.  NZ is just too good.  Fucking pure is the only way I can think to describe it.  Every man down two people were rucking over, turning every maul, lineouts and scrums were a perfect collaboration of a team working together.  Great ball movement.  Pure.

But what Megs was trying to say (I think/hope for her sake) is that US Rugby, and its announcers (and sideline reporters) is in its infancy.  And she's right.

And when it grows up- it's going to be unstoppable.

GO EAGLES!!!

I need $225,000 to buy this ghost town with a liquor license immediately

- $225000 Seneca -- ghost-town with liquor license (Seneca)

 

0BR land

Want to buy a ghost town with a bar and liquor license? Expand it into a unique getaway! Perhaps the most remote restaurant in Northern California. 12 acres. (It comes with all rights (mineral, timber, etc). There are no known environmental hazards. We have owned since 1970. We will provide a Deed plus a Title Search and Title Insurance.) Seneca is the real McCoy. Historic. Very close to, or containing a historic Chinese-built gold mine. (Active gold mining today in the vicinity.) This deal includes several small buildings in various states of (dis)repair. It was home to the "Woodstock of the West" in the 1970's -- thousands attended (we have a clipping somewhere). Riverfront footage on both sides of the Feather River. Includes an island. Possibly THE last private acreage within a National Forest. (Not many liquor licenses in the region, either.) A big tree is growing up through the porch of the bar. The public access dirt road from both north and south is one of the most scenic in the USA. (The northern access is darn scary and features maybe 1000-foot drops into the gorge.) Ishi wandered around these parts. Other famous and notorious details are easily googleable about this ol' town. Provided map provides a good proximity for the location (I improved it from an earlier listing). You can easily get enough info via Google to drive out and take a look and at least see the buildings and river and surrounding few acres. (A guide can show boundaries to serious party. There is nothing unusual but this service will require days to set up because owner/helper lives a long way from property.) You should be acquainted with this type of region before visiting. The southern access is easier in bad weather or wintery seasons.
