It's Friday Night!

Anyone else remember the Friday Night Girls from Codco? Probably not, eh? I mean I'm sure you had better shit to do around 1990 than watch east coast comedy on the CBC.

.

Well in honour of Friday night, let's hit up a couple "Now this is partying" segments. Here's your first:

.

Check this out . . . you know it's bad when cops knock on your motel room door after smelling marijuana. But you know it's going to be worse when you're a principal . .. and you're caught drinking, smoking, and watching porn with a 16-year old girl . . . and her younger sister. Say it with me folks, now that's partying.

.

And here's one more to check out - an Indiana man gave beer to his 1-year-old nephew saying, "he's a champ, he can handle it," then punched his girlfriend in the face when she objected and sped away in her SUV, threatening to kill her and her daughter when he returned.

.

Now that's partying.

.

Now it's time for something much, much more serious. If you've ever wondered "How would the U.S. military fight off an attack by a zombie army?" wonder no longer because I've got the answers right here for you. It's a well written article and plugs this book as source material.

.

If you're curious about how you'd fair in a Zombie attack, check out The Zombie Preparedness Quiz - apparently I'm only 33% percent likely to survive Z-Day. Even so I'm going to take a few of those undead bastards down with me, that's a promise. And if not that I'll just throw a few of the slower and weaker living people to the Zombies to slow them down some.

.

Hey you're thinking you'd do it too, I just admitted it.

.

It ain't Zombies but check out this live action acted out introduction the Real Ghostbusters cartoon show. Pretty cool eh? All I want to know is, is Janine single and is she into big hairy bald geeks? She at least has to be into geeks if she's willing to take part in something as awesome as this, that's for sure.

.

While we're on the topic of the paranormal, how about we take a look at the Gremlins invading some other classic films including The Exorcist, The Goonies and Raiders of the Lost Ark. Here's the video, enjoy.

.

Okay now how about something honestly serious? I know it'll be hard to take but I think it'll be worth it here. Check out this collection of photos that changed Canada. There are some really good ones there and I was glad to see the inclusion of the photo from the Battle of Somme, even if that picture was staged. It's pretty well accepted that it was the Canadian soldiers sacrifice and successes in the first world war that lead to Canada being seen as her own independent country and a major player on the world stage instead of just one of Mother England's plaid wearing, fur trapping, tree cutting goofy colony offspring off on the other side of the world.

.

Honestly we'll still seen like that by some, thanks Bob & Doug, but at least now there are blue helmets in the picture, even if they are firmly in place over top of our toques.

.

I guess that's worthy of a truly Canadian apology, don't you think?

.

I think I'll sign off the same way the CBC does, or did, today. Until next time.

.

PS - that's not the sign off I wanted, but it was the closest I could easily find. If you have or find an older one send it on over eh.
