We Are Truly An Embarrassment

 



Only in Canada, eh?

Police in Montreal are saying individuals could face defamation charges for posting videos of people stealing packages from their porches.

Oh sweet, mama! 

US authorities weighed in saying a person has no expectation of privacy is a public space. Especially on someone else's front porch.

Here are just a couple of the comments about this.....

Where's There's A Will.......

 ...but this is not the way......

So the lads came yesterday to put mulch down. Unfortunately, they loaded the Bobcat on before the mulch.

So....how to get the Bobcat off the truck bed....?

Say It Ain't So


They can't be looking to build a mulch ramp to get the Bobcat to the ground, can they?


Oh It Is So



The Moment Of Truth...

....as he climbs the ramp....

...looks like a soldier going to war!


And Here We Go


Success!


Don't think my company would have done it that way.


Now the only question is, with the mulch ramp gone......



How to get the Bobcat back on......

Stay tuned!

Or maybe these guys will take a page out of Mr. Boffo's book....

A Simpler time...

 Who didn't have one of these on his wall growing up?


A Toronto Maple Leafs Calendar.   Mmmmm......

And this one is special.

The Leafs had just won the Stanley Cup the year before (and the year before that, but who's counting) and were on their way to another Cup that spring.

And this one.....


....is a little bittersweet, as earlier that year - we've jumped ahead to 1967 - they won the Cup again.

But unfortunately.....


And who doesn't have one of these beauties hanging in his closet?


Well....not many!

"The Way We Were"

 


I was thinking that must have meant what was life like back in the 50's.

But no, that would be 1974.

Gak!

With the top song, Barbara Streisand's "The Way We Were".


But go back ten more years, and now we're really talking.




The top song of 1964 was...


That's right...I Want To Hold Your Hand

That got me thinking that I am - and lots of young kids today are - still grooving to a lot of amazing songs from the 60's.

Which also got me thinking, in 1964 was I grooving to tunes from...do the math, carry the 4....1904?

Well, let's see.


Top song in 1904...


The classic "Dear Old Girl".  Which is what I used to call my mother. But that's another story.....

And, of course, not to be forgotten....


Another classic, "Last Smoke Before The Snow Storm". 

The lyrics still roll off my lips.


The point of all this reminiscing is....we still have the greatest music of all time!!


[Uhhhhh....maybe with apologies to Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Handel, Tchaikovsky, Bach.....okay, okay...]



And who are those shag haired gorgeous girls from 1974 in the first picture?

The Runaways.  With 2nd from the left being....Joan Jett.

Duh

 


Where else would he party?

He's the 2nd freakin' richest man in the world.


And, of course, the richest man in the world is Elon Musk.



And just in case you thought you might be making up some ground on him, his Net Worth increased by $1.9B this year.  How's your plan working for ya.....

Nailed It!

So they've just come out with the 2023 list of most annoying people.

And who are right at the top?

Harry & Meghan, of course.

And all they want is to be left alone.....

And I didn't realize it, but they are mad, very mad, at South Park for doing a parody of them.

And South Park nailed it with their episode.


"The Worldwide Privacy Tour"

Ha ha.

'nuff said......

And The Hypocrisy Just Keeps On Coming


In follow-up to the post from last Wednesday about the UN holding their climate emergency gabfest in an oil kingdon  [click Here for a refresher] where they told the US it must cut its meat consumption - and as foretold by the crack team of Arnotti Thoughts researchers - guess what is on the menu?



The article went on to describe all the delicious meat offerings at the climate summit.

And you wonder why nobody takes these goofs seriously......

A New Twist....

 ....of the knife.

With Christmas just around the corner, nice to remember favourite gifts of yor.


Remember Hersey's Pot of Gold?  Mmmm.....

Well, here it is today.


Some folks are calling it the Pot 'o Plastic.

That's called "shrinkflation".  And they thought we wouldn't notice.

But they're not the only ones.....


Remember After Eight mints?


Sheesh.....
