Sunday Chuckle: Caption This – Livin’ On A Spare

CAPTION THIS!

This bowling ball was spotted at Victoria lanes in Kitchener, Ontario.  It was well worn and clearly played a lot of rounds!  We figure it was probably donated to the lane recently, as it wasn’t there in the previous weeks.

I found this video in my 2023 Facebook memories. September 22: The story of the kids on their bikes, rocking to Motley Crue. Absolutely wild!

#1216: A Chuckle with Blaze Bayley

RECORD STORE TALES #1216: A Chuckle with Blaze Bayley

“I know it’s not ideal, but how about 7:30 AM on Monday morning?” asked Blaze Bayley’s manager Mark Appleton.  It was Saturday and we had less than two days’ notice, but I had planned ahead for this possibility.  I brought my laptop home from work on the Friday, just in case I somehow had to balance the Blaze interview with work.  I am fortunate that I have the option to work from home occasionally.  7:30 AM would be perfect.  I start work at 8:30 AM, so that gave me plenty of time to do the interview with Blaze (30 to 45 minutes is what we were promised), and log into work with time to make a coffee.

I woke up early on the Monday morning and logged into my work laptop.  I answered a couple emails and did some work, and then hit the shower preparing for Blaze.

I was nervous, but felt that I had a good plan.  I didn’t have to miss any work, or even be late, to do the Blaze interview.  I had already gotten work started.  It would be no problem to finish up with Blaze and then right to work, even if I’d be running an adrenaline high.

The Blaze interview went smashingly well.  At the 45 minute point, Harrison asked him how he was doing for time?  He had lots of time, so we kept going.  The clock ticked closer and closer to 8:30, but I was still OK.  Blaze was inspired and inspiring.  We had to keep going as long as he was willing.

Blaze finished answering a question from Harrison at 8:35.  Harrison asked how he was doing for time again, and Blaze responded “a couple more.” Harrison threw it back to me.  As we went well overtime, I asked Blaze my final question which was about hooking up with the Absolva band, and the Appleton brothers.

“In music,” he said, “people don’t talk about being on time.  Be on time!  And actually show up.  Be on time!”  As he praised the punctuality of the Appletons, I was already ten minutes late for work myself.  Anxiety building!

We wrapped up at 8:45, and I logged back into work, only 15 minutes late.  In order to hear Blaze’s words about being on time for work, I was making myself late for work.  I think that’s just really funny.

Thanks for the advice Blaze!  I’m always really early, except for this one time, I swear!

Interview with Blaze Bayley

WTF Comments: Toxic Sebastian Bach Fan edition

I received my first comment on a video made almost a year ago, with over 1200 views!  Please welcome @tcconnection to the show!   They took offense to my looping of Sebastian Bach’s amusing laugh in the video at bottom.

The ironic thing about @tcconnection is that they have none – zero, nada – videos on their channel, but still had the balls to post this.

The other ironic thing is that I have, in fact, made videos that benefit society.  Check out Adventures in Epilepsy for example.

How much do you wanna make a bet that @tcconnection never replies, and never makes a video of their own?

Sunday Chuckle Screening: Idiot Burns $100 of Statues Before Googling

Like the title says.

These statues haunted my nightmares as a kid.  My parents left them in the firewood to burn.  I took the nightmare fuel and burned them.  Then Facebook informed me of their value.

 

Sunday Chuckle: Buble Bieber

I love my grandma and for age 96, she’s pretty sharp.  We were over visiting the other day, watching the Blue Jays.  We were chatting away, and then she changed the subject to current events and popular culture.

“Did you hear about that Michael Buble?” she asked us.

“No…what happened to Michael Buble?” I replied.  I hadn’t heard anything good or bad.

“There’s something wrong with his face,” she answered.

It took me a minute.  Then I realized OH!  She means Justin Bieber!  Yes, Bieber is ill; it’s quite horrible actually.  It’s called Ramsay Hunt syndrome and half his face is paralyzed.  So we corrected grandma and moved on.

Still, 96 years old, she knew Buble and Bieber were both Canadian singers…so not bad, I’ll give her 1/2 a point!

Who do you think you are, Benjamin Franklin? (Sunday Chuckle)

Yesterday around noon, some tornado-force winds ripped through town with a healthy dose of rain.  All told, I read that 38 hydro poles went down along with numerous trees.  It took about seven hours to restore power to where I live.

Some areas still had electricity, so Jen and I went out looking for a place to get lunch.  Lots of intersections with no power to the lights.  We drove past a Tim Horton’s with no electricity.  The three employees were our in parking lot with brooms clearing debris, and had pylons blocking the drive-through.  Yet in our brief time driving past, three cars drove into the Horton’s looking for coffee.  As if Tim Horton’s have their own nuclear power generator in the basement, or like the customers could magically turn on the power for them.  The girls with the brooms just stared incredulously at the numbskulls who thought that this was the one business on the whole street with power!
