My Automobile Wet Dream

My Automobile Wet Dream

Cars
I roamed the PNE fairgrounds last Saturday to view, dream and drool at the Vancouver Collector Car Show, Sale and Auction. If you like classic muscle cars, bizarre modifications and cool vintage emergency vehicles (yeah, really), then this show was for you. There were hundreds of very cool cars inside and outside the PNE Fairgrounds, some for sale, some for auction and lots for show. I took along my video camera and filled the drive with practically every car that caught my eye, and there was LOTS to catch my eye. Standouts included the 1966 VW Bus complete with a Cadillac 500 (509) V8, deluxe paint and orgasmic interior, a custom built 1954 Chevrolet Tourliner that has to be seen to believed and a spectacular 1959 Ford Skyliner convertible that…

Pierces = Pure Pop Pleasure

Pierces = Pure Pop Pleasure

Music, Of Interest
Who would have thought that an insipid rom com would introduce me to some of the freshest, purest pop I've heard in some time. Behold The Pierces, sisters, writers and performers of creative, catchy and addictive tunes not heard since Heart's debut Dreamboat Annie back in 1975. They even have the black hair/blond hair, guitar player thing goin' on but the roles are reversed. Oh, and they're not too hard on the eyes, much like the lovely Wilson sisters. The Pierces are Allison Margaret Pierce and Catherine Eleanor Pierce, born two years apart in Birmingham, Alabama. Their most recent release, the 2011 album You & I, is on constant rotation on my iphone, in my car and everywhere else I can listen at some time during the day. To say…

Another Visit From Yogi

Animals
So what's a bear to do on a Sunday morning? Well, he could visit my home, push the garden waste recycling bin on it's side and scoop the tasty contents out on to the lawn. That would be fun, right? Yogi, as I've named the large black interloper, has added our recycling bin to his schedule and visits at least once a week to dine on it's stinky, ant-covered contents. Someone (no names here of course) does not fully latch the 'bear-proof' container so Yogi has no problems thrusting his paw into one side and removing the rotting treats he finds within. (Let me just say that the bear-proof bin is indeed bear-proof if latched correctly. But again, no name will be uttered in this report...Sharon) Watch below as good…

One Less Scumbag

Crime, People, The Law
Thieving scumbags are all around us, snatching purses, removing the contents from our cars, breaking into our homes and causing nothing but headaches and misery. So it's exceedingly satisfying when one of them gets caught, and even more so when it's caught on video. A lowlife, miscreant piece of shit had the misfortune to attempt his shoplifting caper in the presence of an off duty North Vancouver RCMP officer. And it was documented in its entirety by an intrepid videographer who narrates the collar while conversing with a 911 operator. I found it hilarious that the thieving douche continually asks his captor, between sobs and whinging, "Why are you doing this"? I think we could all ask the very same question of the thieving douche, couldn't we? Behold, the disruption…
