Toronto Ontario. Like New York without the violence. Home to the cool end of Younge Street.
See the people walkin’ up and down
See the people movin’ all around
On the streets of my hometown on yonge street
Longest street in the world they say
Summertime soon slips away
I hope I’ll see you one fine day on yonge street
Everywhere you go in a city by the lake
Back there in the flow you may give a hand a shake
Everyone you pass seems to wanna say hello
Even late at night on the freshly fallen snow
"Younge Street"

"Be kind to parents, and the near kinsman, and to orphans, and to the needy, and to the neighbor who is of kin, and to the neighbor who is a stranger."
--The Koran
I recently watched the movie "Kandahar". The movie is centered around an Afghan journalist named Nafas who seeks refuge in Canada. She maintains a relationship via letters with her sister, still in Afghanistan. The sister sends a letter to Nafas stating her intent to commit suicide because of the brutal condions imposed on women under the Taliban rule, and has said that this impending suicide would take place just prior to the next solar eclipse, about to happen in a couple of days. Taliban rule forbids women to travel alone so Nafas, wearing the restrictive burqua employs a series of men to get her across the Iran-Afghanistan border. The men only agree out of the desperation for much needed money.
It is a deep look into the darkness that is the Afghanistan woman's reality of life. If you are looking for a buoyant film, this is not it. But if you are looking for something truly thought-provoking, and horizon-widening, check it out...

Yesterday I had to work with a girl from the agency that was just filling in for the night...I had to write her initials on some paperwork, so I asked her what they were, she said H.O....I kind of giggled and said "You're initials spell HO?"...I guess she didn't find it funny and got all made at me...I wasn't being mean, I just thought it was funny...she went on and on about how someone she worked with wouldn't leave her alone about that...I told her I would never do that, and I'm sorry, I really didn't mean anything by that...It just struck me as funny as I wrote the letters down.....
"Are you a female high school dropout, between the ages of sixteen and twenty-five?...Are you tired of lying around in bed all day with nothing to do? Well. you never need get up again, because in six short weeks I can train you to be high paying ho...Just think-fifteen hundred dollars a week, without even leading the comfort of your own bedroom.. Sound too good to be true? Just send for my new book, "I Wanna Be a Ho."

A friend sent me this, some of them had me in tears. Originally done by cast member Tim Kazurinsky, as Dr. Jack Badofsky.
Sexual gratification. We all dig it. But we all have different ways of achieving it. And since the desired goal is to climax, I think orgasms deserve specification rather than be lumped into one category because they aren't always so easily achieved and often takes some experimentation. So after interviewing thousands of people (ok, so they were all imaginary), here are different types of orgasms I've uncovered.
Visiting a brothel? - whoregasm
Wake up aroused by a dream? - snoregasm
Missionary position...again? - boregasm
Workaholic? - choregasm
Shopaholic? - storegasm
Masturbate after eating an apple? - coregasm.
Turned on by fantasy? - folkloregasm.
Like doing it on a golf course? - foregasm
An old west climax - LouisL'Amourgasm
Get off on old, B-list actresses? - ZsaZsaGaborgasm
Excited by sex on the beach? - shoregasm
Does candy do it for you? - smoregasm
Come to climax with a lion? roargasm.
Or if donkeys are your thing... - Eeyoregasm
Tennis groupie? - BjornBorgasm
Into robots? - cyborgasm
Did it result in carpet burn? - floorgasm
Like to do it on the buffet table? - smorgasbordgasm
Find bullfighter to be hot? matadorgasm
Does Lionel Ritchie make you swoon? - Commodoregasm
Are splinters a turn on? two-by-fourgasm
Two no one will ever have? An AlGoregasm or a PaulyShoregasm.

I had a friend named a ramblin' Bob, He used to steal, gamble and rob He thought he was the smartest guy in town
But I found out last Monday
That Bob got locked up Sunday
They've got him in the jailhouse way down town
He's in the jailhouse now he's in the jailhouse now
I told him once or twice quit playin' cards and shootin' dice
He's in the jailhouse now
Bob liked to play his poker, pinochle with Stan Yoker
But shooting dice was his favorite game
But he got throwed in jail, with nobody to go his bail
The judge done said that he refused a fine
He's in the jailhouse now he's in the jailhouse now
Well I told him once or twice quit playin' cards and a shootin' dice
He's in the jailhouse now
I went out last Tuesday met a girl named Susie,
I said I was the swellest guy around.
Well we started to spendin' my money
Then she started to callin' me honey
We took in every cabaret in town
We're in the jailhouse now
We're in the jailhouse now
I told the judge right to his face
I don't like to see this place
We're in the jailhouse now

J. Geils Band live, "Hard Driving Man" into "Whammer Jammer" is awesome for pushing the speed envelope. Blues Brother's version of "I Can't Turn You Loose" makes me want to be on the open highway with a lot of cops behind me.

We had a car very similar to the one in the movie. Weaver is driving a '71 Plymouth Valiant, our family had a deep green '73. The car I learned to drive in. I still have the Valiant emblem off the side. That damn car was like Jason from the Friday the 13th movies, you couldn't kill that slant-6 engine.

Did you like the movie?

Duel is the best TV Movie ever made. It's also timeless. I will definitely watch the collector's edition. It all started as a short story in Playboy Magazine.
Joe, the Collector's Edition has a lengthy interview with the writer Richard Matheson. It was (loosely) based on a true story...
-
And keep a wary eye on your rearview. You never know when something may creep up behind you, bleary windshield and blowin' smoke as black as coal, sounding a long single insane note on a ragged airhorn....
-
Laurie, the collectors edition is hysterical. I never noticed, but in several scenes, you can see Spielberg crouched in the back seat giving direction to Dennis Weaver. Spielberg himself points out all the flaws. Still an awesome movie and you can see the influence in "Jaws".
-
I picked up the Collector's Edition of Spielberg's directorial debut, the superb 1971 "Duel". Starring Dennis Weaver and a menacing 1964 Peterbilt. In this age of Blu-Ray and jaw dropping special effects it holds it's own pretty well. Well enough that at the movie's conclusion, my 15 year old son said "That was awesome. That was one of the best movies I've ever seen." and asked me to make a copy for his friend. If you've not seen the film and are a fan of action/suspense, you'll not be disappointed.

Please Take Your Drunken Fifteen Year-old Girlfriend Home
Please take your girlfriend home
She's only fifteen, she shouldn't be back here alone
I'm horny and my mind begins to roam
So please take your drunken fifteen year-old girlfriend home
She found mama's quaalude 'script
Took a few just right before the show
She is no beer drinker
She used the bathroom fifteen times I know
Her overtures were rather crude
Her boyfriend he was more than rude to me
I'm twenty-eight and I don't date
I still know classy women who like me
So please take your girlfriend home
She's only fifteen, she shouldn't be back here alone
I'm horny and my mouth begins to foam
So please take your 15 year-old girlfriend home
She said our show was rather dull
She liked Jethro Tull more than she liked us
She said a cab cost twenty bucks
I gave her thirty cents to ride the bus
When she hit me with a mic
Something with which I could not agree
When she said she dug the harmonica player
A whole lot more than she dug me
So please take your girlfriend home
She's only 15, she shouldn't be back here alone
Oh, take her to go read the Rolling Stone
And please take your drunken 15 year-old girlfriend home

A quarter-inch of skintight neoprene can make anything look good I guess. Good thing, too. The water temperature was a chilling 36f......

In a perfect world, Steve Irwin would still be around. THAT is a guy I miss....

I'd be somewhere where the water was deep, turquoise, had unlimited air fills, visibility for miles, water temperature in the mid-80's, and an abundance of sea-life.
And all you guys there to share the experience.

Kid Rock always struck me as a guy who should be driving a forklift in the receiving department of Home Depot.

I thought you were referring to a club here in Seattle...

Things we've learned from Canada

Canada also had a marine disaster equivalent to the loss of the Titanic. In 1914 we had the sinking of the Empress Of Ireland.
