Lest We Forget
Talk like Yoda
This is pretty cool; http://www.yodaspeak.co.uk/index.php
It takes anything you say and turns it into Yoda-speak. To test this out, I thought… Why not a song from Moxy Früvous.
King of Spain by Moxy Früvous - As spoken by Yoda
The king of spain (now I eat humble pie), once I was.
Oh… My unspeakable wife, queen lisa (now I eat humble pie).
Telling you I was the king of spain (now I eat humble pie) I am.
And now I work at the pizza pizza.
Royalty, it looked good on me lord.
Buried in silk in the royal boudoir or going nuclear free.
Or with the princess of monaco playing crokinole.
To the opec leaders telling my jokes, it all on video getting.
The king of spain (now I eat humble pie) I once was.
Palatial palace, my home (now I eat humble pie), that was.
Telling you I was the king of spain (now I eat humble pie), am I.
And now I vacuum the turf at skydome (once, the king of spain), was he.
Wait, I cannot wait, lowering interest rates, am I, my people say:
“King, how such a genius are you, hmm?
Roof overhead and food on our plates, there is!”
Laisez-faire, it is laisez-faire, give a care I even not.
Make friday part of the weekend, let us.
And give every new baby a chocolate eclair.
The king of spain (now I eat humble pie), once I was.
Hey clinton! Hey yeltsin! Got problems, hmm? Me (now I eat humble pie) you phone.
Telling you I was the king of spain (now I eat humble pie), I am.
The king of spain), now the leafs call me up to drive the zamboni (once he was.
Probably wondering how I cam to be living in canada, now some of you are.
After being royalty in spain. Should I tell them, guys, hmm?
Tell us, king! Hmmmmmm.
You see late one night when the palace was asleep.
Of my royal chambers and into the garden I creep out.
And I wait till the appointed time, when lighting the pitch, the moon is.
At which point my peasant friend, like me who looks just.
Arrives and, a switch, make we.
Prince and pauper, junior and whopper.
Of silver and copper world made up.
Of my own volition out, of position I took a change.
So you drool in the pizza line next time.
Remember, slower pizza’s more luscious.
Of spain never rushes the king!!!
Once, the king of spain (now I eat humble), was I.
Looking for off-handed ways to improve us (now I eat humble pie), was I.
Telling you I was the king of spain (now I eat humble pie), am I.
And jamming with moxy frvous, now I am! The king of spain, (once he was). Yes, hmmm.
The implosion of the ADQ, “Team Mario Dumont”
I am a political junkie, I admit it. Even though I live in Ontario, I do a lot of work in Quebec so I follow the political comings and goings quite a bit. I first learned of the ADQ in high school during the Quebec sovereignty referendum in ‘95 and treated them with a bit of distain. After all, the ADQ sided with the Bloq and PQ on the Yes side. After a number of years and the mellowing out of Mario Dumont (ADQ Leader), I started quietly rooting for them in elections. They were the third option for Quebecers, not the PQ and not the Liberals, they were the underdog, and I like underdogs. When they formed the official opposition in Quebec, I thought that was great, like cheering for the Ontario NDP in 1990; They didn’t have a chance but pulled off a ‘hail-mary’.
In hindsight, the election of Bob Rae’s NDP to Ontario was probably the worst thing to happen to the province, second worst being Dalton McNutty. Back to Quebec, once the ADQ became the official opposition (do they call it “Her Majesty’s Loyal”?) they fell apart, didn’t know what to do. There were so many rookies that the ADQ MNAs looked like a bunch of two-year olds organizing a daycare!!! After getting spanked the next election, Mario Dumont left the ADQ to do TV shows spoofing off his image.
The fall-out has been something else to watch. Two “nobodys” run for leader, the winner is chosen by a vote that people call out the possibility of election fraud. Then finger pointing between the ADQ and the Reformatories’ Quebec wing and one of their senators over fundraising money. Then the ADQ “cut ties” with the Reformatories saying that they wanted independence. Following that, the fingers get pointed back to the ADQ about missing money and now, their newly-minted leader quits with a napkin written resignation. And off they implode.
With “Stellar” people-power replacing Mario Dumont, it’s appears very fortunate that Quebec never got an ADQ government. Imagine what would have happened in Quebec City if they had their hands on the public purse! You’d think it was the second coming of the Montreal City Government!
Xmas lists
The kids have already submitted their xmas lists. This item was the first one selected by more than one of them. Should be interesting to see them fight over it.
Tis the season… already…
Tis the season to annoy the neighbours… Yes Xmas season is here, you can tell because the stuff was being hauled out into the stores about two weeks before Halloween. Every year there seems to be an unofficial match between myself and the next door neighbour who we don’t get a long with, as to who has cooler stuff on their lawn at xmas. This year is no different so I am looking for that next cool thing to go with the airblown santa who crashed into the xmas tree, the lights and so on…
First is this:
Airblown Penguins in a Hot Air Balloon
Next idea was this one:
Airblown animated helicopter.
Lastly is this:
2D Xmas Train
Also we need a new tree so I was thinking this:
New Xmas Tree
