Hell Scottie.... with my new commitment to Fat Bastards, my income has decreased significantly. I used to get $1000 an hour and now it's down to $20. Hmmmm... I wonder if OC transpo goes beyond Kanata or Orleans? -

As long as they also have a Bay City Rollers Tribute Band, I am in!!!!!!! -
This is a tough one... it changes history to "what if story"... Imagine that you could go back and make Hitler's dad pull out instead of completing the conception of little Adolph. Now fast forward 53 years. Instead of Adolph, there could have been another guy that is equally megalomaniacal but actually likes the Jews. You then have a World War Two Germany with one of the most incredible armed forces ever seen AND the ability to produce atomic weapons.... sometimes changing the smallest thing has huge implications. All that being said, if I could go back for 12 hours.... I think I would go back about 25 years and have a fantastic day with my grandfather... and let him know just how amazing he was... how much he meant to me. He has been gone for 15 years and I still don't go a day without thinking about him.

Whats on your Bucket List
Old Dog replied to FineWineDiva's topic in General Discussion Area - all of Canada
Oh my misspent youth.... alas a lot of the really fun stuff has been accomplished!!!! but there is ALWAYS more.... 1. Win the lotto. When the boss comes over with work, politely stand up, turn off your computer and say, "No thank you. I am leaving for lunch now. I will be back, ummmmm, never." 2. With the lottery win, finance and produce GOOD movies. 3. Write a great novel or 7 and be published. 4. Have a wonderful 30some. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFMFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF 5. Buy that place in Scotland and raise big hairy cows. 6. Get in the car and drive until I stop, taking roads that I have never taken and with no destination in mind. Repeat daily until I want to come home again. 7. Produce the coolest documentaries, ever. 8. Learn classical guitar. 9. Live everyday to the fullest! -

Ahhh Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods!!! "Billy don't be a hero" was also done by Paper Lace who also did.... "The Night Chicago Died." I could follow that with Pilot doing "Magic"... Jigsaw doing "Sky High"... Major Hooples Boarding House doing "I'm Running After you"... Pablo Cruise doing "Love Will Find a Way"... and Hamilton, Joe Frank and Reynolds doing "Don't Pull your Love"... I was waffling between the Pacer and the Gremlin.... -
Get to Know Me Better - Some Trivia About Me
Old Dog replied to Andee's topic in General Discussion Area - all of Canada
a few more factoids.... at 18 I was contracted to work as a roadie for Led Zeppelin on their "Coda" tour... then John Bonham died and the tour was cancelled. So much for the dreams of a young man craving rock n' roll groupie castoffs.... I paid for my second year in university with poker winnings. I lasted 121 minutes in the century club before my bladder gave out. (for those unaware, the century club required you to consume 1 oz of beer, once a minute for 100 minutes without leaving the table.) I can still play "Claire de la Lune" on a recorder, other than that I have absolutely no musical talent. At the age of 4, I ran down a hill and tripped on a hidden, abandoned rabbit hole. I should say it was abandoned by rabbits. A voracious, evil satanic cult of yellowjackets had occupied it. I was stung 17 times in quick succession. If I had stayed home and watched "LiveAid" in July 1985, my life would have been a different story. Instead I got married that day. I really wish I had seen that concert. When my then three year old daughter asked me about the meaning of Easter, I gave her the historical story of crucifixion and resurrection (but in a cute kind of Sesame Street sort of way.) Her reply, "Jesus??? You mean Chuck E. Jesus??? Where a kid can be a kid??" Needless to say, we weren't a very religious family. more to come.... -
