Ask him to find an open house not on a Sunday. I don’t know how hot the market is where you live, but where I am houses were selling in a day or so. If you wanted to buy a decent house it had to be a site unseen offer the day it went on the market. I can’t imagine not taking calls after 7 is beneficial in that kind of environment.
Well, as I mentioned, he’s been under the security blanket of CNN his entire career. I don’t know if he even realizes how the world works outside of a corporate umbrella.
I had my phone out and my wife just turned on the screen to look at what time it was or something like that and there was a whatsapp message on top "Dougie is looking for some sluts"
No idea if he found any. But for those who don't play hockey slut=(someone from another team that isn't playing)
Go figure, we were just talking about Dales Pale Ale. A local gas station rotates about a dozen of their craft beers weekly, with another dozen or so they always have. One of the ones they just rotated in was Dales. I'm not sure what it is, but I think craft beer just tastes better out of a can (or a glass, just not a bottle).
How to make a country look mentally retarded: https://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/canadian-radio-stations-baby-it-s-cold-outside-1.4931867 How hard is it to turn off a song you don’t want to hear? Faaaaaaaaaaaaags
The funny thing is the Cleveland station that initially banned it had a Facebook poll to decide. 92% of respondents said keep playing it, 8% said it was highly offensive. So, of course they banned it.
Personally I think anybody who gets offended by music should be driven into the sea. Think a decades-old jingle is some sort of front against MeToo? I’d like those uppity twats to listen to the song below. And I mean really, REALLY listen to it. ...that shit is straight-up hilarious, son. There’s hundreds of songs like it. Shall we erase it from history and order people to pretend it didn’t exist? When does this shit stop? It’s art. It’s just expression and bullshitting. Like it or don’t. Nobody is forcing it on you.
Like Gary Puckett and the union gap. Young girl, or woman woman come to mind. Benny Mardones Into the night.
"She was just seventeen, you know what I mean . . ." Are they though? Except for the one line where she says "say, what's in this drink?" it's a cat-and-mouse flirt, where she decides to stay (after half a drink), she decides to have a cigarette, etc. When it was written, do you think that lyric was like haha, let me write a song about a roofie? Or, do you think it was written like most everybody who's had too many, looks down and thinks, whoa, what's in this drink? She ends up (probably) staying the night, which was the scandal when the song was written in 1944. The implication that she stayed was just as bad because people would assume she slept with him whether she did or not. I'm not saying that the song isn't dated, but the idea that is about date rape is silly, and only considered through the lens of modern thought. His charm and convincing was more persuasive than how much she'd had to drink (one?). If we're going to take all the lyrics literal (say, what's in this drink), then we should also assume it's not just cold, but dangerous outside. He is genuinely worried that she'll freeze, get pneumonia and die, and is therefore looking out for her well-being. The outcome is just as likely that she has 5 more drinks, passes out, and he places her gently on the couch by the crackling fire, with a trashcan beside her head.
That’s why I said “pretty much.” I don’t think it was written with date rape in mind. And it is a well written song - repetitive melodies and rhythms that make it flow well, the two-five progression into the second stanza, all that nerdy music theory shit. But, she says “what’s in this drink,” so it gets banned from the radio. I’ve wanted to add “White Christmas” to our rotation of movies we play on the TVs at work, but I’m afraid some random customer might not like the “minstrel show” number.
Shhh... you're making it so stupid people can't be stupid and continue to fuck things up for the rest of us.
