Monsieur Lemieux…
Mario, how fondly we remember your slight of hand, your top corner magic, your this way & that. How daintily you deeked, how swiftly you shot. In honour of a true blue Team Canadian, let us take a moment to raise our glasses in song:
You the best, Mario Thebest
Yeah you the best, Mario Thebest
To hell with the rest, Mario's the best
You the best, Mario Thebest...
Egypt: wonderous, mysterious…
In pharaonic Egypt, the goddess Hathor was celebrated as "queen of drunkenness and dance, the inventress of beer". Cool fact. Here's an Egyptian Lover video.
Revolutions In Jumping…
The Olympics are coming, this much is certain. The torch is in motion, Omega's digital glory hands tick ever closer. Politics aside, let us take a moment to applaud the Olympiad. In particular, Brian Orser, whose curly coiff & regal onesy brought us revolutions in jumping. Thank you Brian, may your triple axle forever provide shelter to the needy...
Andre we love thee.
Although the authenticity of this claim is questionable, I hope that you will be as able as I to suspend your disbelief. While there was no photo-finish nor was a gold trophy awarded, it is popularly held that Andre the Giant drank 119 beers (standard 12-ounce) in 6 hours. Shortly after he was happily sawing logs in a cozy hotel hallway.
Good Bye Mr. Rogers…
Removing items from our bathroom hallway walls has proven a popular pastime for a nameless few visiting our fair Acres. With this in mind, we'd like to express our dismay at the passing of our dear friend Fred Rogers. While he was only with us for a short while, his calm smile & gentle demeanor charmed us all while waiting for our shot at the loo. Good bye friend...
Can’t Resist A Dancing Camel…
Effat Malakan, you are the winner of our Best YouTube Video contest! Dang, this video makes my dancing kitten hand puppet routine look very amateur. Well done, one hundred Acres bucks to you miss!
So, a monkey walks into a bar…
Stop me if you've heard this one...
A moment of reflection and lament…
Over the years we've had a lot of great friends come through the Acreage. One of the best and brightest, which many never had the chance to meet was Chimay, Six Acres' prize winning plastic toy horse. Okay, maybe Chimay never got to run her race at the track, but we loved her. Sadly, Chimay disappeared this past week. We can only hope she will meet up with other anthropomorphic toy animals and make her way home. In memory of our fallen comrade, we brought in her namesake: Chimay White Tripel.
To Chimay; we loved you.
