Mmmm...

I'm not one to laugh at someone, however, pictures say more than words.  I want to see this episode - very much so.

Hallo-what the f***

A Legion branch in Campbellford, Ontario is to reopen after the controversial Halloween festivities that took place last week.  I actually heard of this last night, for the first time.  For those out of the loop, like me, a Halloween party was thrown at a Royal Canadian Legion branch in Campbellford last week.  The winning costume for best couple - someone dressed up as a member of the Ku Klux Klan with a rope around another man's neck.  The other man is covered in black face paint.  And that was the best costumed couple of the night!

Wow.  What can I say?  I wasn't there, so I don't really know what actually happened.  Apparently the FORMER POLICE OFFICER, that was dressed as the man with the black paint, is apologetic if he offended anyone.  If he offended anyone?!  Really?  How can you dress like that and expect NOT to offend anyone.  I'm as white as they come, and this story disgusted me.  There isn't too much in the world that can symbolize more hate than the KKK. 

Why on earth, would you want to dress up as someone who hunted people at night based on the colour of their skin?  You're poking fun at the thousands of victims that were assaulted and murdered for no reason.  You're embarassing me, as a human being.

If they truly are sorry, I'm the one who feels sorry for them.  Not only do they wear this riducolous costume, they wear it to a Legion party of all places.  The Klan were the American version of the Nazis.  No way around it.  Our veterans fought so that those pychos didn't control Europe.  This is a slap in the face for all those brave men and women who fought for our freedom.  The Legion is a place to celebrate our heros and our victories -and then we have some ape that comes in dressed in a KKK robe/hood with his prey.

The thing that really baffles me, is that they WON!  WTF!?  Who voted for them?  How the...?  What the...? ...crazy, I tell you.

And the icing on the cake is that this wasn't the only costume in poor taste.  Another man at the same party was dressed as Hitler.  No joke.

500 lbs...here I come

Yesterday - fish n chips before the auction

Tonight - all you can eat ribs before a night in a hot tub

Tomorrow - pizza n wings with the shift after work

The rest of the week - water and lettuce

Period.  No exceptions.

Sugarland - Stay

So, a friend of mine posted this song on Facebook the other day.  I listened to the lyrics and it hit so close to home, it brought tears to my eyes.  This past year has been nothing short of hell.  It's really hard to keep a smile some days.  Anyway, this song is for you.  And remember, there are a lot of us that still love you.


Sugarland - Stay


I've been sitting here staring at the clock on the wall
And I've been laying here praying, praying she won't call
It's just another call from home
And you'll get it and be gone and I'll be crying

And I'll be begging you, baby, beg you not to leave
But I'll be left here waiting with my heart on my sleeve
Oh, for the next time we'll be here
Seems like a million years and I think I'm dying
What do I have to do to make you see she can't love you like me?

Why don't you stay? I'm down on my knees
I'm so tired of being lonely, don't I give you what you need?
When she calls you to go, there is one thing you should know
We don't have to live this way, baby, why don't you stay? Yeah

You keep telling me, baby there will come a time
When you will leave her arms and forever be in mine
But I don't think that's the truth
And I don't like being used and I'm tired of waiting
It's too much pain to have to bear to love a man you have to share

Why don't you stay? I'm down on my knees
I'm so tired of being lonely, don't I give you what you need?
When she calls you to go, there is one thing you should know
We don't have to live this way, baby, why don't you stay?

I can't take it any longer but my will is getting stronger
And I think I know just what I have to do
I can't waste another minute after all that I've put in it
I've given you my best, why does she get the best of you?
So next time you find you wanna leave her bed for mine

Why don't you stay? I'm up off my knees
I'm so tired of being lonely, you can't give me what I need
When she begs you not to go, there is one thing you should know
I don't have to live this way, baby, why don't you stay? Yeah, oh

Movember Update...Day 5

So, I go into work today, and my boss is like, "yeah, you'll need to shave that before your next day in."

An hour later....

He comes up to me with some money, "Okay I'll let it slide because it's for charity."

THE MUSTACHE IS BACK ON LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!

YAHOO!!

An interesting fact about the Spongebob Squarepants...

Okay...so my sister told me this little interesting fact today.  Here is everything you need to know:

-Spongebob Squarepants lives in Bikini Bottom.

-Spongebob works at the Krusty Krab.

-The owner of the Krusty Krab, and Spongebob's boss, is Mr. Krabs.

-Hence, Mr. Krabs lives in Bikini Bottom.

I repeat...

Mr. Krabs lives in Bikini Bottom.

...just a little something I found interesting. haha.

Let's change the face of prostate cancer!

Well...for those of you who don't know, November has been officially been changed to "Movember", in this neck of the words.  Men (and possibly women...eek) all over the world will begin growing mustaches for men's health, in particular - prostate cancer.  It's day 4 and I officially have stubble!!  Yay!

So, apparently a "mo" is slang for a mustache.  Together, the words November and mo, make the word Movember.  I learned this today.  I swear on my life, I thought Movember were the words November and molester put together.  Molester because that's what you look like on around day 17.  Anyway, the "mo" part, comes from mustache.  It's all making sense to me now. 

If anyone would like to sponser me, I won't turn your money away.  For those of you I work with, be prepared for a month of fundraisers!  That is unless my sergeant sees my face and tells me to shave.  haha.

1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer.

It's the most common cancer to afflict Canadian men.

4400 Canadian men will die from this cancer this year.

Every mustache makes a difference!!
