Happy birthday, Bob!

Aggressive Bear Put-Down

Monday, September 20th, 2010 pm 1:35:49 PM

A stubborn bear had to be put-down after charging a man in Balmertown.

OPP say the incident happened last Saturday.

Police say the man was in the business section of town when he was charged at by the bruin.

The man was not injured.

The bear then fled to the backyard of a Fourth Street home.

OPP tried to scare the bear away but it failed to move.

Police were forced to shoot the bruin as a last resort.

ticket request in!

You know that JEOPARDY! category, "Before and After"? If I knew Photoshop, I'd figure out an amalgam of Toronto Blue Jays and Jay-Z. Imagine - Toronto Blue Jay-Z. Bet they'd lay down some sweet, homerun grooves.

I think the LCBO closes @ 6 in Dryden M-T, so if they didn't plan ahead, they would have to resort to paint thinner after the bar stopped serving.

Smell of Paint Thinner Leads to Arrest

by Mike Ebbeling on Thursday, August 12th, 2010 am 10:20:01 AM

A 42-year-old woman has been charged with resisting arrest after Dryden Police were called to a local Hotel Wednesday morning.

Officers received a report of a strong odour of paint thinner emanating from a room.

Police arrested 2-drunk individuals for their own protection.

However, one of the accused, Theresa Hudson became resistant, throwing herself on the ground to avoid arrest and swearing at the officers.

I love this thread.

That RH letter always makes me cry.

"Berry Picking" - that's a euphemism, yes?

Thanks, Kev.

There are empirically bad shows (i.e. Coventry).

There are empirically good shows.

Most shows are somewhere in the middle and they are deemed bad or good based on taste, opinion, feeling, preference, drugs taken, friends you were with at the time etc etc etc.

I choose not to debate the minutiae of these shows that hover in the neverland between perfect and ear-bleedingly-horrid.

Do I enjoy listening to it? Fuck yeah.

Did I have a good time? YEAH!

Were there really bad notes & messed up lyrics & self-indulgent noodling? Yeah? Oops!! Next song please!

Basically, I'm just happy to be in a position to go and enjoy the whole experience. Suck the juice, baby!

That's just me.

That being said, I fully respect the right and, more importantly, the unmitigated passion & unworldly knowledge, of the folks who DO choose to debate, discuss & dissect every morsel of music that Phish masticates and spits out at the world - it's impressive, to say the least.

And as long as they keep playing, I'll keep going.

Rock on, people!

Wow...

New Boss at Lakehead University

The new boss has arrived in Thunder Bay.

Brian Stevenson is beginning his job as the new President of Lakehead University.

Stevenson says 1 of his 5 major goals is to improve connections between LU and the community.

He adds another goal is to promote the campus in Orillia.

Another item on the agenda is deciding whether to bring wireless internet to the institution.

Stevenson says he will be looking for community input on that issue.

We ended up not moving (yet) so I'm actually going to try to move the fridge and attempt to eradicate the molasses-slick, using each & every solution offered herein, if necessary.

The re-read of this thread was highly amusing.

I'm still awaiting my "Booche's Magic Urine" sampler in the mail...

In other remembering Jerry news...Oh, Mickey, you're so fine!

SAN FRANCISCO -- Ed Reines' long, strange trip started right after he graduated from Columbia Law School in New York in 1988. It continued Monday night when he was among 7,000 people playing kazoos at a Giants game.

"I moved to San Francisco to follow the Grateful Dead," he said proudly.

Reines, now a Silicon Valley-based intellectual property rights attorney and longtime Giants season-ticket holder, was among the horde of Deadheads who flocked to AT&T Park to honor the 15th anniversary of Grateful Dead frontman Jerry Garcia's death.

During the seventh-inning stretch, band member Mickey Hart led a Guinness World Records ensemble of more than 7,000 playing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" on kazoos.

NBA Hall of Famer and longtime Deadhead Bill Walton delivered a speech during a pregame ceremony at home plate. Jerry's daughter Annabelle threw out the ceremonial first pitch.

Later, they all joined in on the kazoos.

The tribute benefited the nonprofit Rex Foundation, which promotes the arts and environmental causes.

Walton, a Deadhead since he heard the band playing on a local radio station in San Diego when he was 15, has been to, by his count, more than 750 shows.

"Not enough," he said.

The Giants-Dead marriage goes back decades. In 1993, Garcia sang the national anthem at a Giants game.

"Baseball's a fun game, and we need more fun in the world," Hart said. "It's important to have sports and it's important to have music. They do a lot for the human condition, and it's important that that not be forgotten."

I just found the tickets for that show in my drawer at work - I had forgotten all about it! And we still have 2.5 months to wait!
