Just For A Chuckle

Images Of World War 1 Sites Today

Very interesting article showing sites of WW1 battles as they look today.  The war to end all wars started just over 100 years ago.  One of my grandfathers fought for Canada in this and was gassed at some point.  I’m going to have to look into that a bit further.

Hi everyone.  Been a real busy month, and it is only getting busier.  Off to Candle Lake this weekend, back for a few days, then off to Kaslo.  Also planning our next big adventure.  In case you missed me, i have popped up a quick link for you, showcasing some amazing places.  I am 1 for 40, Sintra being the one. If the other 39 are anything as incredible as Sintra, then they are very worthy to visit.

I’m Thinking They Missed That Class At Fireman School

What is wrong with this picture.  I do believe that this may not work very well.

Wow!!!

I Laughed, I Cried

Jimmy Kimmel kills me, and the look on Jennifer Garner’s face is priceless.  And I’ll never eat movie popcorn again.

What I Learned Last Week

Spearfishing

It is that time of the week when I impress with my newly acquired knowledge.

 

First up, I learned how to have free suppers.  This guy kind of impressed me with his out of the box thinking.

 

Buy a first class flight ticket, and eat for free for as long as you don’t get caught

 

Second thing I learned, Kiwis are as laid back as Canucks.  This guy takes the all time record for being laid back though.  The events.

 

1. Go spear fishing

 

2. Get attacked by shark

 

3. Evade shark

 

4. Leave water

 

5.  Stitch wound yourself

 

6. Go for a beer at the local pub

 

Here’s the story.

 

 

 

Have a great week, and remember, live well and learn.

Shameless Self Promotion Post

A bit of a change in the place.  Some may have noticed that the music appears to have gone away.  I played with a music blog in the past and have decided to resurrect it.  The reason, continuity.  I get carried away with the tunes and lose what I wanted to see here.  What is that you ask?  Simply put, my other passion is seeing places, as in travel.  I also love general stuff as well, such as funny things, general events and the such.  When I get crazy on the music, I tend to lose my train of thought and ignore my intentions for this place.

 

If you like the music, you can follow me here.  Same amount of posting, just more organized.

Tornadoes On The Sun

Exceptionally cool video of plasma storms on the sun, otherwise known as sun tornadoes.  The whole story is here and the video is below.

Blog Note

Once again, I am taking the trip to my old home town, Winnipeg.  The moment I have dreaded is close to arriving and I am on my way to be there for the sadness that will be coming.  In light of this, I will be posting on a minimal basis, if at all.

See you soon!

Kind of bizarre having a safety tip from a pirate on the dangers of smoking, but it all makes sense now.  Here is a 4th video posted by my buddy Barnacle Bill.
