Be humble

In one of my many visits to nice-tits.org I have learned that there are many types of tits.  For instance consider the Great Bearded Tit:

Recognition: Predominantly tawny-brown. The male has a striking lavender-grey head pattern, with a broad, tapering moustachial stripe of glossy black.
Size: 6 1/2 inches; tail about 3 inches.
Population and distribution: Spread to Scotland and Ireland. In England spread very locally.
Habitat: Extensive reed-beds.
Habits: Flight is rather laboured, and slightly undulating, with rapid whirring wing-action - usually just over tops of reeds. Head moves up and down in jerky action.
Feeding: Insects; seeds of reeds in winter.
Nesting: Among sedge, reeds, or other aquatic vegetation. Lays 5-7 eggs, usually in mid-April. Incubation is 12-13 days.
Calls: Distinctive ringing, vibrant ‘ping ping’, less distinctive ‘tice’.

I have also learned that The Royal Tit-Watching Society of Britain is the oldest of the British Tit-Watching Societies.  There seems to be 8 types of Tits.

First let me assure you I have nothing but admiration for the linesmen linespeople who work at Maritime Electric!  These people do a dangerous job in the worst weather and whatever they earn is probably not enough.

February 1st, the power goes out in my neighborhood.  Being the patient lad I am I wait an hour (well, at least 5 minutes), and check the battery power provided by the telcoheads, and call MEC.  I am met with a series of voice mail options and off I go to report a power outage.

AIIIEEEEE..a mumbling lad who sounds like he has burned his tongue on hot potatoes tells me the power will be back on soon (up west), and that I could stay on the line to report other outages.  I do so.

Now I get another recording.."Thank you for your call, all of our customer service representatives are busy, we only have one fookin line laddie, and today ain’t yer day.  Please call back later and the bloody phone hangs up on me!

When I moved the cars out from under the way of creaking overloaded branches this morning, I wondered if we are needing another 24 hours or so of this to start getting in trouble.

It appears that an older gentleman has come forward in Summerside, to acknowledge he was the one who offered the 8 year old student a ride to school last week.  Thus, the fear of a sexual predator in the area has been put to rest. 

It seems strange that in our little safe corner of the world:

Do you refer to the section of the newspaper that contains the comics as the ‘comics’ or the ‘funnies’?  How old are you?

Dean Allan of Textism poses the question:

“What do you think about when you are not thinking?”

It is a good question.

A friend sent this image, thus I have no idea where it came from.  It does, however, bring a rather long list of people to mind.

If CMax is right, perhaps I should reconsider my hunt for an Isetta.

It is interesting to note the connection between a man’s motor vehicle and his manly equipment.  Regardless of the appearant “quality” of the vehicle, a typical male driver will have convinced himself the thing is a hotrod.  To deride a man’s vehicle is to challenge his manliness.  You may as well call him an impotent pindick.

The typical male driver will fuss and fondle, carress and care for his vehicle, spending scads of cash to keep it going: on the order of or often exceeding the attention he will give his female partner.

If you are critical of a man’s female partner, you are likely to cause an argument, at times agreement!  If you call down his vehicle, you’re looking for real trouble - may as well smack him in the jaw.

The vehicle runs on gas, the driver on testosterone…
