I mean who doesn’t golf without carrying a tampon in their pocket.

Guess there wasn't a cat nearby.

I discovered these musicless music videos. They are some funny shit.

LMFAO! That was great!

I watched the one with the Bee Gees walking down the street for Stayin Alive and Barry is yelling the falsetto, while you can hear a woman's voice from some apartment building telling them to "shut up!"

This also sucks I hope he can recover

For some reason, mostly because of multiple band members and how much the Stones act it up on stage this one was epic. Well crafted. I think Richards would have a good laugh.

Hard to tell is Bill Wyman if even breathing half the time.

They were all medical wonders. Half the time you were looking to see if Richards had an IV still stuck in his arm.

Great band, but they were generally terrible live. Sloppy to a point is manageable in a recording. No audio mix saves that in concert. I swear I've seen the STones in concerts where you have trouble recognizing the tune until the lyrics. Guys playing out of tune and out of time.

Just got back to the office from a short shopping trip to our local Safeway (Southgate). As I was entering, there was a struggle between a well dressed 25 year old male, and some scumbag. Food all over the entrance floor, and I heard the shopper (who was obviously leaving the store with his groceries) yell, "You were trying to steal my f***ing groceries! Give that back!"Some of the stolen items fell to the ground, and then the scum opened his coat revealing a knife. The shopper yelled," Oh, you have a knife tough guy? Go ahead, try to use it! Go right ahead!"
The scum didn't take him up on that bet, as I think he realized he was messing with the wrong victim, and turned and ran, while the guy chased him. Cops showed up 10 minutes later, so I don't know if they caught him, but I can bet he'll show his ugly face there again and real soon, and this time probably go after a senior or someone that's an easier target.
In the fall, the same Safeway had all it's front windows boarded up, as someone obviously must have smashed them all out. Took a couple months to be replaced. My neighborhood (which used to be sleepy quiet) is becoming a war zone, with the druggies against the citizens.

Bryan Hall moving to weekly broadcasts at 88 years of age:

630 CHED’s Bryan Hall changing role at the station - Edmonton | Globalnews.ca

Hallsy, as he’s affectionately known, will move from daily to weekly sportscasts on 630 CHED’s new morning show.

globalnews.ca

I remember as a kid listening to his Eskimo broadcasts back in the 60's and of course to "The Point After". The old "What ever happened to Earl Edwards" always got a rise out of him. He'd call guys a jerkaloo and cut them off.

In the later years doing the Eskimo games he was always so far behind the play it was funny. Calls like ... He's at the 20, the 30, teh 40, ...Touchdown!!!!! as if the guy ran 70 yards in a fraction of a second. But there is no denying he is a legend and an icon of the Edmonton sports scene.

The telltale sign on radio was hearing the crowd erupt secs before he got around to announcing TD. His speech cadence is never fast to begin with. He had a drawl all his own for these parts.

But really it wasn't just when he was older. Hall always had so much to say he was regularly behind the play even in his prime.

Its really amazing that I've heard no other football broadcaster here. he really has been at it for a longtime. Yeah the openline was fun. None of the crank calls were me or my dad, but we supported them cackling along. I remember broadcasts where Hall had to go through 5-6 callers in a row and hang up on them to get one that wasn't yanking his chain. It was a civic passtime.

This problem imported to all parts of the city and especially main lines courtesy of the COE and ETS policy. Remember my comment from the COE head of the advisory BLAMING ETS customers and others for not adapting properly to the problems and " just accepting, not judging"

"Oh sorry kind sir with a knife, I need to be more accepting of you. Heres my groceries, wallet, and banking information, have a good day"

That would be more inclusive..

Bryan Hall was the steward of the airwaves over he best and worst part sof this teams history. When things were going good in the glory days he was great but when things went sour he was an excsuse maker just like all oilers media have been for the last 20 years and still are today.

 

[bellagiobob]

If you're looking for an entertaining night out, Jersey Boys at The Citadel is an excellent production. I've seen it performed in Vegas and have watched the movie half a dozen times, and the mainly local cast did an excellent job, the city and area has just amazing musical theatre talent. It plays for a couple more weeks.

 

[Stoneman89]

Not just your neighborhood.

Obviously. But sometimes it hits home more, when you see it more frequently and you're directly in the line of fire. Things have changed a lot in the last few years.

Its interesting in present day of inflation, rampant costs, the ridiculous costs of constructing anything in present day that they try anyway possible to hype up the absolute worst about buildings seemingly as further pretext that some place just needs leveling at great cost to make way for some more asphalt or some empty lot to be be paved over there.

Oh watch out for mice, oh watch out there could be flies and bugs. oh lord Asbestos! The same stuff they were telling everybody to use for decades and that was mined here on the prairies. The same stuff that unless its messed with probably isn't going to harm you.

We have homeless all over the place, no budget to deal with the problems but paying 35M to knock down a pretty solidly built structure that was designed to stand for a century and over engineered.

 

[Drivesaitl]

You just beat me to this. Kiss like on their 28th announced final tour, going to a Canadian City near you. Might possibly be the last latest time, till the next time, promise.

Saw them in 77. Probably pass at this.

3yr farewell tours. jebus. reset, reset. nah, they're still here.

 

[Drivesaitl]

This is too weird not to mention. Imagine buying a Fix or Repair daily Ford pos, having to overpay for everything because of so many gadgets you don't need and don't want, having to sign up on wait list to get one, having to pay enormous costs and payments due to inflation, increased interest rates and one of the "value added" engineered pts is the self driving car can repo itself. How thoughtful. Seems like its assumed this component will be ever useful, and needed.

I'm just lol at this f*** the consumer is evident in all of this. Just shoot the tires out. just kidding. Take the tires/rims off and see what happens....

Ford patents self-repossessing car tech that drives off by itself if you don’t pay

Anyone not making their car payments may also be locked out of their car

www.independent.co.uk

Next thing is homes that automatically lock you out when you miss a mortgage payment. Wait, this probably happened already.

They have a plan to "develop" the lands. I went to one of the open houses and I must say I was far from impressed. The guys delivering the info were all from Calgary. Talking to them they made a whole bunch of statements that convinced me they had no idea what the area around the development is all about. Lots of utopian statements about how wonderful the area will be once it is finished. My guess is that it will be a disaster and that it will take over a decade to see anything of substance in the area.
