Hmm - Yikes - Awww - Ick - Ha... and other words like that (19 of 30)

Hmmm..... I never thought that I would find myself walking my dog with my wife while my delightful children belted out "show tunes" all over the neighborhood.... but such was my life tonight.  Katie and Megan were singing Gaston's "ME" song from "Beauty and the Beast" - and they were doing it at the top of their lungs.  Not the quietest of walks.... but pretty funny none-the-less.   :)

In case you are blissfully unaware.... let me initiate you (I would send the kids over to sing for you - but they are in bed so this will have to do). 


PS.  Oddly - the girls say that they can see me singing this.... I am not sure that is a compliment.

Yikes.....People in Estevan drive much too quickly.  Seriously - some dude went flying by me today - he must have been doing 80 km/h in the middle of town.  Maybe those people should watch this 120 mph car crash video by the guys at the British show "Fifth Gear" (but don't watch it if you are a little freaked out by car crashes - even fake ones - b/c it is bad).

Awww..... Did you hear a story last week about a 100 year old man who set the record as the oldest person to complete a marathon????  Apparently, he isn't going to get his world record

Ick!..... Having trouble Christmas shopping this year???? Don't know what to get that "hard to shop for" certain someone???   How about this?  One of John Lennon's teeth.... a steal at only $16 000!!!!

Ha!.......PRINCE GEORGE, B.C. - A would-be car thief allegedly armed with an axe has learned a powerful lesson from a powerless car parked in a Prince George, B.C., driveway. Brent Jameson Morgan, 20, now knows that the Corvette he tried to steal on Sunday afternoon becomes nothing more than a four-wheeled holding cell when the battery dies and common sense goes out the window. RCMP Cpl. Craig Douglass said Monday that Morgan allegedly jumped into the idling Corvette just as the owner was putting away a charger used to revive the sports car's dead battery. The owner watched in disbelief as the suspect rolled up the power windows, locked the power doors and promptly stalled the vehicle. "Unfortunately for the (suspect), he was not good with a standard transmission and stalled the Corvette when he attempted to reverse out of the driveway," Douglass said. The shocked owner wasn't able to take any action because the man in his car was brandishing bear spray, Douglass said. With not enough juice in the battery to restart the car, the suspect was trapped inside the Corvette after failing to break the window with the victim's anti-theft steering wheel lock and an axe in his backpack. As police arrived, Morgan was attempting to exit the vehicle after allegedly smashing the driver side window with his screw driver — apparently for no good reason. "As it turns out, all the suspect would have had to do was manually slide the door lock to the side and the door would have opened," Douglass said. Morgan was arrested and his bicycle was removed from the scene. He's been charged with theft, mischief, possession of break-in instruments and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.
