I find now that I don't have to worry about being fired I say a lot more to the faces of people .

When we went to the movies last week and there was three youths in their twenties playing soccer in the lobby . I called them fucken idiots to their face .

Told a server that their service was pure garbage also last week .

I had a fun week .

People think retired people are angry when in fact we are just not having to censor ourselves anymore

As long as you give 25% and tell a server they did a great job when they do, nothjng wrong with calling bad service what it is imo. Served and bartended for years, dont go vack to places with bad service.

Ahh, Mark Guage, good times. I think I still see him on Twitter sometimes.

No poop. Never knew. I searched to see what he was up to about 5 years ago and came up with nothing. I remember him saying he was writing a book on some hockey subject just before he disappeared. I guess he didnt finish it or it never got published.

I played a couple of poker tourneys that he was in back then. He was a dead give away with his lucky Linden jersey he used to go on about.

When he left and partnered up with another blogger on here and started a new site, they poached me. I hung out there for a while but it flopped. After that, he disappeared.

When we lost him, no one even close to his quality wrote for this blog until Carol arrived. She's even better...

Yea and no. When I was in university we used to go to John’s Place on Pandora for breakfast on Sunday’s. Food was great, giant portions, decent coffee, terrible service, every time.

Choose your spots. When you pass the breaking point speak up.

You have to admit people can be pretty stupid. Driving habits are atrocious of most people .

The world is getting more aggressive TBH . I remember in my last couple of months working , the crew had a general meeting about how drivers are becoming more aggressive and people in general are more entitled. It is pretty hard not to notice it ( not aimed at anybody).

Depends who you ask, Nuckup apparently sent dozens of PMs outlining how unfair the officiating is in here…

I haven’t been in almost 30 years. But in 1994 there were not a lot of options for a decent breakfast.

England complains A LOT. I follow a bunch of wine trade people and most of them are UK based. My twitter feed is full of their complaints. Rules, brexit, prices, employment, government, policy, sports. A very complainy bunch.

There are a lot of lunatics out there . I think in the next decade you will see a lot of battles , rioting and possibly a civil war or larger.

That rally last month might be just the beginning.

Dzingel clears
@FriedgeHNIC

Close call, nothing like getting a low hanging Dzingel caught on something.

This probably calls for an Austin Powers meme, but that would be low hanging Dzingle.
