shits and giggles

I didn't watch much of the Olympics except for some diving.
I got this email...
These may or may not be actual quotes from the Olympics.

Here are the top nine comments made by NBC sports commentators
during the Olympics that they would probably like to take back:

1. Weight-lifting commentator: 'This is Gregorieva from Bulgaria. I saw
her snatch this morning during her warm up and it was amazing.'


2. Dressage commentator: 'This is really a lovely horse and I speak from
personal experience since I once mounted her mother.'


3. Paul Hamm, Gymnast: 'I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother
and father.'

4. Boxing Analyst: 'Sure there have been injuries, and even some deaths in
boxing, but none of them really that serious.'


5. Softball announcer: 'If history repeats itself, I should think we can
expect the same thing again.'


6. Basketball analyst: 'He dribbles a lot and the opposition doesn't like
it. In fact you can see it all over their faces.'


7. At the rowing medal ceremony: 'Ah, isn't that nice, the wife of the IOC
president is hugging the cox of the British crew.'


8. Soccer commentator: 'Julian Dicks is everywhere. It's like they've got
eleven Dicks on the field.'


9. Tennis commentator: 'One of the reasons Andy is playing so well is
that, before the final round, his wife takes out his balls and kisses
them... Oh my God, what have I just said?

East Grand Lake Pics

I'm posting from the Land of Cleves, hanging with the in-laws...

These pics are from the ten days we had at the lake 8th-18th...

Kevlar hung for a few days...

And he left some those crappy Clamato drinks in the fridge...

I polished off the beer he left though... no surprises there...

Those pics of me and Kev are for our upcoming album, tentatively titled On The Patch

Internet here is in and out... fantasy teams may suffer... not that that matters to the Shiretowners... looking at high draft picks next spring though...

I'll be here til the 26th...

Starting school the 28th...

And I got a wicked new haircut (not shown)...

All the best to our loyal readers... AJ, Karlemagne, Red A, Bread Machine, Ton Sugar and Nat Man... think that's everybody...

Kevlar Belly Flop

No tractors today.

Last week we were lucky enough to host his Kayness at the lake.

This was his 2nd trip to western NB.

He treated us to a wicked belly flop.




a refresher from 2004

Okay so it's not a tractor but I think Kevlar would approve.

requisite newfie joke

I wasn't back long before I heard my first Newfie joke....

Two Newfies look at a Sears' Catalogue and admire the models.
One says to the other: "Have you seen the beautiful girls in this catalogue?"


The second replies. "Yes, they are damn beautiful! And look at the price!"




The first says, with wide eyes, "Wow, they're not very expensive. At this

price, I'm buying one."

The second smiles and claps him on the back, "Good idea, order one and if

she is as beautiful as in the catalogue, I'll get one too."

Three weeks later, the Newfie asks his chum "Did you ever receive the girl

you ordered from the Sears' catalogue?"




The second replies, "No. But it shouldn't be long now.... I got her clothes yesterday!"

jokes from the country

One day, Jimmy Jones was walking down Main Street when he saw his buddy Bubba driving a brand new pickup.

Bubba pulled up to him with a wide grin.

' Bubba, where'd you git that truck?!?'

'Tammie give it to me' Bubba replied.

'She give it to ya?

I know'd she wuz kinda sweet on ya, but a new truck?'

'Well, Jimmy Jones, let me tell you what happened.
We wuz drivin' out on County Road 6, in the middle of nowheres.
Tammie pulled off the road, put the truck in 4-wheel drive, and headed into the woods. She parked the truck, got out, threw off all her clothes and said,

'Bubba, take whatever you want.'

So I took the truck! '


'Bubba, yore a smart man! Them clothes woulda never fit you!'
