Old Sea Story

There’s an old sea story about a ship’s Captain who inspected his sailors, and afterward told the first mate that his men smelled bad.

The Captain suggested perhaps it would help if the sailors would change underwear occasionally.

The first mate responded, “Aye, aye sir, I’ll see to it immediately!”

The first mate went straight to the sailors berth deck and announced, “The Captain thinks you guys smell bad and wants you to change your underwear.”

He continued, “Pittman, you change with Jones; McCarthy, you change with Witkowski; and Brown, you change with Schultz.”

THE MORAL OF THE STORY:
Someone may come along and promise “Change”, but don’t count on things smelling any better.

The Curse Of Michael Buble – 2 Playoff Years (2011-2012) and Counting

Well I must say that although I knew the Curse of Michael Buble was strong and would prevent the Vancouver Canucks from ever winning Lord Stanley’s Cup, I never thought that it would be strong enough to curse the team so that they (a number 1 seed) would lose in 5 games to the lowly 8th seeded Los Angelas Kings.

I think my work this year is complete. And just so you all know what I am referring to, a year ago, in the Stanley Cup finals, when the only Canadian team left was Vancouver, Michael Buble told Canada to get their own team and that the Canucks were Vancouver’s team. Well this got my dander up so I cursed the Vancouver Canucks. i.e. the Curse of Michael Buble. So long as he feels the Canucks bandwagon is not big enough for all Canadians, the Vancouver Canucks shall NEVER win the Stanley Cup.

I gave this the good old triple curse.

First you take your index finger and touch the lid of one closed eye (with the other open) and you say “ACK ACK ACK”. This is the Malochia or Evil Eye. Then you give the Devil’s curse and say “SIX SIX SIX, number of the beast.”

This is all followed by the ultimate sports curse from the movie Caddyshack. This is simple in that you just say “Noonan!!”

Put it all together and you have a very powerful curse. In this case, the Curse of Michael Buble!!!.

“ACK ACK ACK!! SIX SIX SIX! Number of the Beast! NOONAN!!”

So were the Canucks cursed and so they have not won the cup for two years.

Beware the Curse of Michael Buble.

How does this fit on this blog? Because the Canucks are OfficiallyScrewed!!!

p.s. The only Canadian team left is the Ottawa Senators and although I am a Maple Leaf fan, I am cheering them on and am proud to say that their bandwagon IS big enough for anyone who wants to cheer them on. Go Sens Go!!

Musical Carts – Not Just A Novel Idea

Charles Adler has one of the most sensible minds in Canada.  He also has one of the most warped ones which is exactly why I enjoy reading/listening to his views.

First a snippet for you.

At some point, The Menzoid must’ve mistakenly wheeled away a cart belonging to another shopper. Although embarrassed by the error, The Menzoid didn’t want to hold up the line by making the cashier undo the charges. Thus, The Menzoid decided to pay for the groceries and take his misbegotten bounty home.

Trust me…it get’s even better. Click Here to read the whole post.
