Dana Gould (@danagould) on Threads

Good call - I think Dana Gould is the name I saw attached to post I read. 

As another layer to this and something I didn't know, I just read that Eugene Levy said that Joe Flaherty played his character as slightly drunk and never told anyone. He's a just a half step behind everyone, slightly sloppy, and a bit wobbly. No one realised it until later. If you watch it you can see it!

for some reason I can't post the screenshot that was shared with me this morning, but it was a fella named Dana Gould that shared that tidbit... holy Christ did I laugh thinking about it. It's the kind of thing that comedians do to "break" other comedians. They know 99% of people won't notice it, but if other comedians do, and laugh, then it's 100% worth it...

This skit always made me laugh a lot harder than the concept of it should have. As for the Pepsi joke at the end, IYKYK.

 

My all time favourite....
 
 

Joe Flaherty dead at 82........ugh. One of the more underrated of that group that came up together around Toronto in the early 70s. There was a whole scene... kinda started with a production of Godspell.... Marty Short, Gene Levy, Paul Shaffer, Vic Garber.... and then of course Gilda, Candy, Flaherty and others. The seeds of SCTV and even SNL started back then. Flaherty was so so so funny... what a shame. 82 still feels too young. 

There's always been a vaccine mandate for healthcare professionals.
Yes, I acknowledge there is a dearth of qualified, compassionate healthcare workers in Canada.  As one of those million people who doesn't have a family doctor, it's concerning to me.  It's equally concerning that I might have someone I care about under the care of a "professional" who is so selfish and self-absorbed that they can't bothered do the bare minimum to keep them safe.  As far as I'm concerned, if you aren't willing to do the smallest of things to keep those under your care free from harm then you have no business being in the business you are in.
 
 

imagine considering yourself a medical professional and refusing to get vaccinated.... you should have your qualifications removed. An incredible number of people sick with respiratory virus infections this fall/winter, and people are like "what pandemic??" No vaccine, no mask..... you get what you deserve. 

"lost billions" 
Stock is double what it was ten years ago and have their highest earnings ever. 
 
Just like when Nike went broke. And, Budweiser. And, Keurig. And whatever else underperforming white men "boycott" 

Big legend of Zelda fan. Can't wait till they ruin it for me next year as rumors are a movie is happening 
Why? The 2nd one was ok and made tons of money and my daughter loved it so... 
Little girls love Elsa and Anna and as a dad to a girl, you know what, it's a good movie. I'll gladly take my daughter to go see frozen 3 over Spanish snow white or woke bs 

You got a huge mountain of **** to eat. 
 
Worst 16-2 team ever.

You can always choose not to read or comment either... 

I'll play
Best sandwich: clubhouse (although Montreal smoked meat is good too)
Scariest animal: Deer/Moose, because of the fear of hitting one while driving at 100 km/hr (been there, done that, don’t recommend)
Dogs or cats: Dogs, never cats
Window or aisle: Window for domestic; aisle for long-haul since I don’t sleep on planes and like to be able to stand up every couple hours to stretch my legs as much as I can.
Clear or sparkling: Clear
Apples or oranges: Apples
Favourite action movie: To pick only one, The Terminator (original)
Favourite smell: Campfire
Least favourite smell: Cooked rhubarb
One song to listen to: Tecumseh Valley – Townes van Zandt. I chose this because it’s the one song I never get tired of playing on guitar.

I’ll go with what I think was the best gift I have ever given, and it also ended up giving back to me. A bit of a backstory first. My mom would tell me that when I was little, I would take my blocks over to where she did her sewing and sit on the floor by her. She said I told her I was building a castle for her and that someday I would buy her a castle (my mom always loved castles).
Fast-forward to the mid-90’s and I was in Calgary for a conference just before Mother’s Day. I went into a store (I think it was called History Makers) and was looking around. They had some miniature castles on display, the kind of thing you would put on a display shelf in your living room. My mom had a shelf like that with a glass door because she liked to collect stuff like that. I saw the castles and thought it would make a great Mother’s Day gift because it would be kind of amusing since I could say that I kept my promise. I left the store and started walking down the street and then thought “yes, stupid, that would make a great gift”. Went back and bought Edinburgh Castle and my mom loved it.
Fast-forward to 2014 and my mom was dying. I was able to make it back to Winnipeg a few days before she died and see her while she was still conscious and semi-lucid. After she died, we were at my parent’s house and my sister took the castle from the shelf and gave it to me saying “you should have this”. To this day it sits proudly on display in my home. I’ve told my daughter that she’s free to pick it up and look at it, but she won’t touch it because she knows how special it is to me and she’s afraid she’ll break it.

Why would you have more faith in this "report" than the other thousands? 
I mean everything you have posted above has been disproven and explained away. 
 
I mean here is the human trials for moderna's shot:

Like- these people ******* lie, obfuscate, omit and cherry pick to feed this false narrative... I don't see the appeal of their faux convictions about these conspiracy theories. 
 
I get it, Covid sucks- the response while warranted was extreme and broke a lot of people, communities and so on. But man, if you can't recognize fact from manufactured/misplaced rage, I don't know what to tell you.
 
It is good to be skeptical and question the science, good data and sound science thrives on that. It harms the scientific process if you can't accept the findings and where the data points to, because it doesn't fit your narrative or preconceived ideas. 

If you think you're being clever here and you're cutting thru all the garbly nonsense with truth and cold hard facts, you're not.
This is just dumb and dangerous.

There's been a massive clinical global trial, millions and millions (billions probably?) Of shots given and shown to be safe and effective. 
Covid vaccines show what is capable when There's an urgency to get things done. Conspiracy theorists need to **** off.

I remember seeing a lot of great blues acts at the Windsor in the 1980's and 1990's. The Windsor and Times Changes Cafe a block away were the places to go for blues in Winnipeg.
