It's Thanksgiving, I'm told I should be glad to have friends like these: Random Tuesday Thoughts
Tuesday, October 13, 2009 at 4:29AM (So, I'm probably still on the road trying to find somewhere to get a decent breakfast and knock the ringing out of my ears. My BFF FoN was bullied into offered to host this weeks Random Tuesday. Rock on, ya'll, and happy Canadian Thanksgiving.)
Hi everybody! Keely is off head banging at the Metallica concert today so she’s asked me to host the very fetching weekly brain dump that is Random Tuesday Thoughts! This was very nice of her since I’ve been a little ‘meh’ on the whole blogging thing lately, and I needed an assignment to get me back in the swing of things. Shall we get started?
So, Keely went to Winnipeg, Manitoba to see Metallica in concert. This is very appropriate since Winnipeg seems to be the place that 80’s headbangers go to die. Seriously, the whole city is one giant Motley Crew look-a-like contest. I went to a mall in Winnipeg a few months ago and saw this woman pushing a baby stroller who looked exactly like Lee Aaron. And she was wearing skinny jeans with high top runners, a tank top with her boobs hanging out and had a leather fringe purse with some feathers tied to the strap. The best part? Her jeans were low enough that I could see her tramp stamp. It read ‘I like it doggy style’.
I was in Winnipeg this weekend too. Not to see a
It fucking snowed her this weekend. SNOWED. I still haven’t recovered from last winter’s cold and wretched death grasp. I can’t deal with this for another seven months and I plan on being a raging bitch straight through to May. I fucking HATE winter. Yeah, I know I live in Canada. I stay for the health care.
How’s that going down there by the way? Have the republicans managed to convince everyone that if poor people get access to healthcare all the grandmothers in the country will be executed firing squad style? I mean, because that seems totally reasonable.
Is it weird that all my parents friends have gotten SUPER old and are retired and looking at moving into condos and downsizing because they don’t want to ‘deal with the stairs’ anymore, and yet somehow I haven’t aged a day?
Alright – I think that’s it for me. Thanks Keely for letting me squat here for the day. And don’t worry; I didn’t touch your comic books or any of that other weird geeky shit you like. I tried to clean up after myself, but you might find the odd reality television show or happy meal lying around. If you do, just try the fries. They are delicious.
If you want to lie on Keely’s couch and spill your guts link up with this thing –
I’ll try and stop by and say hello.

whoo hoo! I think I made it first this week! I hope you have a good time at the Concert Keely and This was a really good RTT FoN!!!
That's right, happy thanksgiving! So FoN, if your parents live in Winnipeg, among the 80's burnouts, does that mean you're one too? I haven't seen your hair recently, are you SURE you're not sporting a mullet? Tramp stamp? And damn it, where have you been? Jerk.
We have snow in the forecast here too. Ack.
Good morning, mine is up.
Hello to FON. BTW Football isn't being watched that much in the East of Canada in my experience. No teams out here other then college. If it's my FIL though it he might be glued to anything sports related. I've never seen anyone so glued to a TV, well he's in for a treat next weekend we have NO TV reception here. hahha heehhehe :)
I had always hoped that, living in Detroit, with much the same weather patterns experienced by many Canadians, I should be allowed to celebrate Thanksgiving TWICE. Hey - my wife's stuffing is awesome. And I have the physique to prove it.
Wow Fon, you're in earlier than Keely..maybe you should run the RTT:P just kidding..Keely wouldn't want me to say this..so you better blur this part:P LOVE YOU KEELY!!:) *blink blink*
So... she's off to see Metallica you say?!? she gotta share when she's back...not that i die to hear about Metallica but i gotta take my dose of her funny sassy stories:) so Keely come back soon:)
Fon thanks for holding RTT this week for us:)
Happy Random
Headbanging at this point would just result in a migraine for me. Hopefully, Keely can still headbang with the best. Happy Thanksgiving to you guys. So you've heard about the granny firing squads too? Happy RTT
Great now I'm in the mood for turkey and a screaming match.
I refuse to age. Next birthday I'm counting backwards.
I can't believe you guys have snow already, it's too hot to function down here. I'm not bragging. Can you please ship me some cooler air, I'll pay for the cost.
Great job hosting, FoN!
So, like, how is Canadian Thanksgiving different? I am guessing it's not celebrating a bunch of people who finally got their shit together to take a break from stealing land and actually become humane enough to break bread (corn?) with the original natives of your country?
Just a hunch...
So glad to see you squatting over here, FoN! ;)
Happy Thanksgiving! I forgot you guys celebrate in October.
I'm with Mrs. Bear - I think I'll start counting backwards on my next birthday.
Happy RTT! :)
Yikes...SNOW? We had our first frost the other night, though, so my flowers look horrible; all wilty and well, dead.
Happy RTT!! Thanks for hosting this great meme.
Winnipeg has terrible cold winters. I'm from Montreal and it shouldn't snow till mid or end of November. I don't think. But they tend to get really cold winters.
I remember going to a Metallica concert about 15 years ago. Time goes by too fast.
So hopefully this little project un-blah'ed you with bloggging.
Wow...Canadian Thanksgiving really does sound exactly like the American version.
Never been to Winnipeg. Although I had a client there once. Can't imagine snow this soon. Just give me highs in the 60s year round and I would be content.
It snowed here too, but I wasn't complaining too much cuz I love winter.
You're Thanksgiving sounds a lot more interesting than mine, which are dead boring.
I'm so sick of the Repubs on this health care thing. Everyone deserves to have insurance. Get over it already.
Have a great Tuesday!

This may be the first snow comment I've seen this year.
I will be wishing for some today, but living in Florida, I may as well be wishing for money to fall from the sky. :-)
I'm sorry you had snow. I live in Canada too and hope to god, I get kicked out so I can move somewhere warm.
Oh for funny... I want to move to Canada.. Lucky you with your healthcare.
Those Republicans are still trying, but I think we'll win out in the end...
It's way too early to be thinking about snow. I am so glad it doesn't snow here that often.
Happy Thanksgiving, eh!
I sometimes wonder what the rest of the world thinks about half our country fighting the idea of a nat'l health care plan. It seems absurd - we spend a lot of time and energy talking about rebuilding other countries and helping get rid of their dastardly leaders, yet we won't help someone with the flu get a shot to stop spreading it....we are a ridiculous group.
Head-banging gives me whiplash. I am *so* old.
And hey, get your facts straight about the geriatric firing squads. Look, here's an article that tells it like it REALLY is:

I read it in the Onion, dont'cha know...
Good job keeping Keely's couch warm.
I want to make snow jokes, but that kind of thing usually comes back and bites you in the ass.
NO. It DID NOT say I like it doggy style. That is just to hilarious for me to believe. Although, I suppose miracles to happen on Canadian Thanksgiving.
