OMG

Gak!  Cough!

The Leafs are in the playoffs!

Let the bells ring out.  Unbelievable!

What's that - the season isn't over?

Oh come on.  Throw me a bone here, people.

We've been frozen out of the playoffs for thirty freakin' years.

My Work Is Done Here

Boy, that didn't take long.

For a refresher on "what didn't take long", see I've Seen This Movie Before.

They even took the freakin' trees!

And it doesn't look good for his pink neighbour, either.
 

Ouff.....really not good.

Gotta Love Key West

I gotta figure if life is too short, I don't want to spend it riding a bus.

But this bus may be different.

A good thought.

A good idea.


[What's a good idea?]

Maybe this is better......

An even better idea.

Uhhh......

And Merry Christmas to all.  I guess.......

I've Seen This Movie Before

And it doesn't end well for one of the parties involved.

For a clue as to which one......see D'oh! and - just about a year ago - Aaaaaand We're Back

Hey? What Are All These Houses Doing Out Here In The Ocean?

I wonder what type of New Year's hangover these guys have?

How did it even get this close to shore?

Because even though it's shallow close to shore [Editor's note:  No poop, Poirot.]  there is also a sand bar about twenty feet out that is only a foot feet deep.

But interesting, no name or markings on this vessel.

And the hatch was wide open.  And interior empty.

"Wasn't that a party!"

Happy New Year!

Follow #6 - Especially If Not Following #5

You can't see it from this still picture, but he was also tapping his foot on the empty fish bucket.

[Custom is if the fishermen catch a small fish, they give it to whomever is near - or on! - the fish bucket.]

Dang He's Good

With all the talk of Trump cosying up to Russia's Vladimir Putin, a photographic perspective of the man is in order....



Putin Hunting

Putin Riding

Putin Swimming

Hey, How About Putin On A Shirt

Not Any More

I guess Hernando's Hideaway is no longer Toronto's oldest Mexican restaurant.

Missed It By That Much

Did a fun trip to the southern most part of the US the other week - Key West.  Heard it had a fun reputation.

So sidled into a seaside tavern at noon and figured there likely might be a Happy Hour going on.

I said to the barmaid, Miss Vicki, "What have you got for Happy Hour? Set me up."

She said, "It's over."

I said, "You mean it hasn't started yet?"

She said, "No, it's over."

I was there at 12:05.

Next time I know where I'm coming for breakfast!

I LOVE AMERICA!

Finally! Something I Agree With Them On

Rush Hour

Florida style.

Tell Ya What - We Don't Want 'em!

Miley Cyrus, Bryan Cranston, Barbara Streisand,  Jon Stewart, Lena Dunham, Amy Schumer.  The list goes on.

Miley Cyrus said; "Honestly f---this s---I am moving if this is my president! I don't say things I don't mean!"  

Honey, first of all that is the height of hubris thinking that just because you want to, you could just move to Canada.  Secondly, there is no way in Hell we would let you and your scrawny ass in.

In fact, I'd rather take in 10,000 more Syrian refugees that any one of them.  [No offense to the Syrian refugees, lumping them in the same sentence.]

Hey, The Americans Just Elected Rob Ford

They laughed at us,  Now we can......

But maybe not so fast.

First the Brits with their Brexit.  Now the Yanks.

Who's next....?

Regardless, fasten your seat-belts, it's going to be a bumpy night.

And amazingly, Trump won - but the sun still came up this morning.....

That About Says It All

I Think This Girl Is Quitting

I think this girl has sung her last national anthem.

TBT

A long time ago in 1989 I taped a Jays game that we went to see in Cleveland - way before my thoughts were Arnotti.

Here is a snippet.  [Thanks to Big Joe for digitizing.]

See if you recognize anyone.  Hint: Big Joe is there and so am I. Unfortunately, the great guy on the right is no longer with us.....

Younger readers - under 50 - likely won't understand Buck Martinez's "must be Bob Uecker friends" line.....

Regardless, the game went 15 innings - but they cut off the beer after 7 innings - and we wore the wigs the entire game.

The umpire, Richie Garcia, even gave each of us a ball after the game.  Because we were good boys.

One of the fellows - who will remain nameless, but can digitize VHS tapes - pretended he was David Wells at one of the post game event and lost his ball by autographing it for an unsuspected young lady.

Those were the days........

Incredible

I was browsing the paper today and came across a fantastic story about an 103 year old woman in a dance contest.

Then I thought, she looks familiar.  And I was right - that's Kitty Cohen.

The Arnotti connection?  Click A Great Lady to find out.

My Mom is gone, but Kitty is a great reminder of good days past.......

And I Thought My Life Was Boring

Out for a walk when I came across a bunch of people standing in a field.

I went, no way.

But way!

They were all Pokemon'ing, or whatever it is.

Then, as we continued on - like your eyes get adjusted to the dark - we saw them everywhere. Even middle aged suburban women!

I tried communicating with some of them ("There's one on my leg!  Get it off!") but they were having none of it.

I'm guessing there must be at least a million dollar prize for who ever kills/eats/liquefies (?) the most.

My life's looking no so pathetic......

Unless You Live Behind There

Dude, Where's My View?
