Well i do apoligize for causing such a uproar it was just the dixie character appeared when the Glumbert circa 1817 stories were flying about and just thought she was a character she did have the same writing style as canuck but has bin brought to my attention that i was wrong and do apoligize so on a closing note CHEERS and Happy St Pats Day im goona go now and have a green beer
Hey backbone i first of think ur alright just a little angry but arent we all i have figured out your geographical location and that is.............................
Drum Roll Please............................................................................
U.K
Thats actually where im originally from im gonna try be more specific and my guess is England how did i do CHEERS!
planettint I was never angry just stirring the pot when things got a little quiet no jousting between certain individuals. Cannot confirm nor deny being from England (but I suppose that could make anyone depressed or angry on account of the weather) I am pretty sure I have spelt ass instead of arse, color-colour, mom-mum and so on so I don't know what may or may not have given me away.
Getting paranoid now might have to go back to using a proxy server.
Can anyone say "SPCA"? Leave the dog alone. Let him chase rabbits and cars and eat snausages slobber all over company and take naps in peace, like a normal dog.
You're kidding right? You think Canuck IS me? Sheesh... this place is getting stranger all the time. I don't even think Canuck has another alias. He's too much of an egomaniac to ever presume to be somebody else. (That's a compliment, Canuck!)
Besides... the last time I checked... that picture doesn't really look male... but I could be wrong.
No i wasnt kidding back when he was doing all the stories a dixiebelle appears with the same writing style but like i said before if i was wrong i apoligize and i do so SORRY and no your pic definitly doesnt look like a male
(The Coasters)Down in Mexicali There's a crazy little place that I know Where the drinks are hotter than the chili sauce And the boss is a cat named Joe
He wears a red bandana, plays a blues pianna [this is the way he pronounces it; to rhyme with "bandana"] In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico He wears a purple sash, and a black moustache In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico
Well, the first time that I saw him He was sittin' on a piano stool I said "Tell me dad, when does the fun begin?" He just winked his eye and said "Man, be cool."
He wears a red bandana, plays a blues pianna In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico He wears a purple sash, and a black moustache In a honky-tonk, down in MexicoAll of a sudden in walks this chick
Joe starts playing on a Latin kick
Around her waist she wore three fishnets
She started dancin' with the castanets
I didn't know just what to expect
She threw her arms around my neck
We started dancin' all around the floor And then she did a dance I never saw before.
So if you're south of the border I mean down in Mexico And you wanna get straight, Man, don't hesitate Just look up a cat named Joe.
He wears a red bandana, plays a blues pianna In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico He wears a purple sash, and a black moustache In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico
[Spoken by Carl Gardner:] Yeah, como est usted senorita Come with me to the border, south of the border, that is In Mexico, yeah in Mexico You can get your kicks in Mexico Come with me baby, come with me, come with me, crazy, yeah
I had a terrier like this a while ago. Would have disposed of him early in life if I'd been able to do so....I was a wimp, and my wife and daughter were so emotionally involved.
Bottom line....daughter got marrieed, went to a condo that did not allow pets, we "inherited" him, he ran in front of a car.....problem solved.
NO...I did not throw him...he never came when he was called anyway....he just used his carrot brain and got away from me, but not the car that was comng down the street.
No music here....our Bichon more than makes up for it these days.
I was just thinking of the dogs I've "owned" in my life.....
Cocker Spaniel, barely remember him, I was a toddler.
Beagle, "Rufus" cool dog, stolen from our yard.
Poodle mix (Heinz 57) "Foo dog", very similar to the dog above, when you cussed at it that was his exact reaction, my Dad took him to "sleep" at the shelter.
Lab, shepherd mix, "Zera" or just Z, this dog could bring back the exact rock you threw into the river! Put her down at 14 years old.
German shepherd, "Alpha" really big black Shep, lost to girlfriend :(
Lhasa apso, "Tiger" cute dog, always crapped in the house (like all little dogs) stepped in front of car on moving day...that sucked.
Lhasa apso, "Ginger" nasty smelling dog, hated kids, lived in (open door) "crate" all it's life, which ended due to cancer.
Yorkie, "Max" rescued dog, loved wife, hated me, up and croaked when wife was away...no I didn't have anything to do with that!
German Shepherd, "Sarge" really awesome and funny dog, great personality, kind of a dork, put down at 10 due to bad hips.
German Shepherd, "Princess" rescued dog, when we got her, her name was "Baby" not quite fitting since she was a 100 pound aggressive farm dog, ate any animal that got in the backyard, up and died of a heart attack at 14.
Dachshund, "Ruby" rescued from a horrible scene, 80 plus dogs living with aged couple and things got out of hand, was tougher than the other two Shep's above and lived with them till my divorce, she's still with ex and going strong, miss that dog (Ruby).
German Shepherd, "Major" my current dog, really f-ing big 130 Lb, "working" type black Shep, smartest dog I've ever owned, protection trained, incredible tracker, knows two languages LOL, he's only 4, I hope he'll be around for another 10!
I wish I had a dollar for every pound of crap I've picked up after all these dogs!
Allow me to assure that there is NO possible way that Canuck and I could be the same person. If you examine the writing styles closely... it's just not possible.
You certainly won't provoke from me the same reaction you would get out of him... on most any topic.
Besides, anyone who's been on here any real length of time knows this to be true.
If dixiebelle is canucks wife no disrespect intended (maybe a little) well than canuck is punching well above his weight and should be counting his lucky stars she is out of his league. But then again he did get very itchy when I responded to one of her jibes (many moons ago)
On another un-realted matter to the issue at hand (what else is new?), I spotted this article today; it piqued my interest, so I'll toss it out there, for potential discussion:
Anyone out there see the the movie "Blade Runner" in all of its incarnations? Personally, I think the original release WITH the narration by Harrison Ford was the best; gave a kind of "Bogart-ish" feel to the film. Strangely enough, one of my favourite moments in the movie, is when Deckards former police captain says to him angrily (because Deckard's about to leave his office in a snit): "You know the score, pal! If you ain't a cop....you're Little People!"........
LOL!
Then, in the same scene, the captain starts telling Deckard he WILL track down these "replicants" and dispose of them; Deckard, in so many words, tells him it ain't HIS fuckin' problem, so tough; the captain says to him, "Yeah, it IS your problem! 'Cuz you're gonna find'em, see? And then you're gonna air'em out." LOLOL!
Great movie.
Very cerebral.
Defintitely NOT for the mindless, bubble-gum crowd.
Excellent movie. I have only seen the original, and I thought the best part was Rutger Hauer's speech at the end. It was a very poetic description of the loss of experience due to death.
First movie I saw on a recorder! It wasn't beta or vcr, it was a disk about the size of an album. It was also gold in color... Those many years ago.
My favorite part is when Rutger Hower and H. Ford are on the roof near the end and hower has him dead to rights but just talks to him about all his eyes have seen!
I used to go out to bars and incorporate that into my schpeel for trying to impress the girls! LOLOLOL!! Now looking back...no wonder i got in so many fights? :(
Don't remember much about that film, hell I don't remember much.
Best time at the movies was watch my sons face during the opening of starwars, as the ship comes in overhead, he just said "holyshit dad" which was funny coming from a 5yr old. He's de-gressed since than.
Sad to admit but Blade Runner is a film I have never, ever seen all the way through... I've watched disparate bits of it but never all in one sitting. That's bad.
Larkin died at my age, "only the good die young"
He once said "why is it the women you ask to pull there socks up are the one you want to pull there pant off" or something like that.
I am completely unsophisticated and naive. I have never heard of Phil Larkin nor read any of his poems. But you guys are right. His work is, indeed, excellent. Thank you for sharing that Skids, and Gym.
Hi Skids, and thank you for your well wishes! I'm doing pretty good, and hope you are doing the same! I will go to your link. I have never been much interested in poetry, but the ones posted here were truly awesome. I will also check out Sylvia Plath, upon Arse's recommendation. Never too late for a little culture! Just because I've never read poetry before doesn't mean I can't now, right?
Good day to you Skids.
Free
Wow, had to go read them again. Would it be safe to say a great artist is defined by how well he connects with the people who are viewing their efforts? Unbelievable.
I started reading Larkin in the 60s, and I'm not english, no one is reading anymore, Larkin , Fost, Cohen, the guy up in Alaska, about the cremation of R McGee (I have a 1st edition of his but can't think of his name) ,etc, those folks kept me alive (and stoned) Dylan kept bring me down.
Larkin is an overrated poet who was directly responsible for the suicide of his partner Sylvia Plath - a much better poet.
An unpleasant, egotistical man much beloved of university lecturers and other suede shoe wearing idiots.
Have a nice day!
The Rain cut the hanging air
Leaving an evolving change of mood
The cars grinding the earth into submission
The trees daring to make the last stand
Eyes frozen with blank stares hidden under the earth
Tainted power infecting every particle of existence
No composure, No love, No honour, No Hope, No stopping
Streaming through the moment
It%u2019s true identity disguised by success, images and dreams
The truth hidden by a blindness so thick yet non-existent when viewed from the divine angle
Hope a passing frame of mind like an idea or a pang of guilt
Stuck in a revolving seize of tried thoughts
No entry allowed for freshly born promise
Yet the very reason you stay alive is built with foundations of hope and endeavour
With the belief that complete enlightenment is waiting
All that%u2019s required is the right mind upheaval without the hold of fear
hey thanks for the comments, i really don't rate anything i do, i have zero confidence, stupidly i didn't want to look for comments for fear of abuse! hey fuck it lets write more
Not really, no. I don't rate him, but that's just a personal thing. Plenty people do.
The Cohen song might be So Long Marianne...it's time we began etc.
On the other hand, gymyg may be right. Agree about LC. Top man. Saw him once in concert in London, and was expecting doom and gloom and wrist slashing music, but it was a very cheery and uplifting gig. Lots of tambourines and girlie choirs and an upbeat version of Sisters of Mercy which had the house rocking!
LC's had many imitators but nobody's come close. He, Van the Man and some Dylan can still reduce me to tears of joy.
while winter camping a few years ago a women I knew during the evening (very cold) did "the cremation of sam mcgee" word for word, it was the high point of the trip. I do have a Service 1st edition somewhere in the book shelf.
gmygy, got memory issues? I "remember" you wrote that you used to partake in the herbal wonder cannabis. I just read about an in-depth, long term study on the effects of THC and related chemicals (CBN, CBD) on the human brain and memory, apparently smoking it is very GOOD for one's memory, shot term "may" be effected temporarily but the big news is how well a stoner keeps their long term memory, they equated marijuana as being similar to a "statin drug for the brain" and may even keep Alzheimer's from rearing it's ugly head...so maybe you need to get sack of green!
I know very little of poetry. But perhaps you vould like to read ein ditty I composed for mein favourite armadillo, Voluptua?
Oh Voluptua, Voluptua, you are mein favourite armadillo!
Your shell shines like ein star, your little nose is like ein button.
Your small und scaly feet are like beetles,
Your skveals sound like ze songs of angels.
Vell, zat is it. I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
Gute Nacht.
