Thread: Must Be the Maple Syrup

"I"m not sure if you picked up on some of my "sarcasm roobarb, but you're totally right. However... considering I come I am exactly what's wrong with my generation. "

Hey me too. I have this real fat head!

"Growing up in one of the most beautiful places on Earth (sorry to rub it in that you're stuck in Toronto)"

....no arguement Doc anyone who doesn't think Van is a beautiful city is a communist. Hey its a fact Toronto is ugly. We have no Rocky Mountains and beautiful coast.

"My point? You can blame me or you can blame my folks..."

Ah hell seriously I don't like to blame anyone for anything-I think we are all on the same page on this....if I blame anyone I blame us adults for letting kids down...but I only point the finger at me, the rest os just for discussion... can't exactly really criticize anyone given I have a big fat head. Well its not as big as Jack Layton's but its pretty bulbous. Well no I look like Brad Pitt. Really. Actually he does have a big head doesn't he. So does Angelina come to think of it.


"hey you're from Canada... are you old enough to remember "Participaction"?"

Lol yah! Do you remember back in the centennial year maybe I am way older then you but in 1967 I remember them giving badges for being in shape, gold, silver, bronze. I fell off a cross bar doing chin ups and swore so the gymn teacher gave me a beating (it was in the old days before law suits) and I never got a badge. I was quite the spaz. But that is what is good about hockey and organzied sports. Even spazzes are needed. We come in handy for example as home plates or soccer posts.

LOL I love the word spaz.

Like food you get from Walmart?

My series of Bronze and 'participation' medals (meaning failed to do 3 situps, but tried at least) came in the early 80's. I think I got a silver in like, dancing or something. I'm stunned they had it for that long. I thought it was an 80's thing. Maybe they still do it actually. They probably give gold for attendance now.

Could be worse. You could've gone to high school in the 70's like I did, and dancing was REALLY strange.....

Have you hacked into Common Sense Craigs photo album?

lol.
i spend a lot of time in front of the computer on this damn site.
And yet, i could beat anyone out there in karate, as well as most people in running and weightlifting.
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...............
shut up roobarb

You know what In, one day I was in grade 12 and 13 (which was called CEGEP in Montreal) trying to be a tail end hippy with 3 pony-tails, faded jeans with patches, vests, and BANG polyester hit. I mean I really enjoyed Beach Boys in Amsterdam, Maria Muldaur, Neil Young (only love can break your heart), the Eagles, Van Morrison, Fleetwood Mac, Derek and the Dominoes, and WHAP suddenly its BG's, Donna Summer, and everyone is John Travolta.

My father's barber was so proud he went to a special course on disco hair cuts he insisted on giving me one for a summer job. So I had to go from Mr. Pony-tails to this soup bowl where they would blow dry your hair with a brush and make it all puffy and round.

No wonder I am mental. Think about it. You guys who had to grow up on disco were seriously injured. How can anyone be normal listening to the BeeGees. Did it not sound like someone was squeezing Mr. Gibb's testacles when he sang? I mean at least the punk after that and the grunge was a bit more edgy. Disco. Man I admit I had a white suit. I did . In those days being Italian ruled cause of Travolta. Thank got Black America stepped in and funkasized everything and people like James Brown were around to save caucasians from thinking the Bee Gees were soul.

I took solace with Al Green, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, BB King even though I was hopelessly caucasian and thought the disco thing was sufficient to constitute hip movement. I did ask black people to help me with the anglo seizure dancing but they told me they could not help and I should just get over it and listen to country music. They tried but you can only do so much with someone who grew up in a country where Tommy Hunter was touted as a music genius. (that's an inside Canadian joke) Oy. Well I did like Elton John I admit that. That's pretty bad to admit in public.
