R.I.B. - Ramblings In Brief: so the world has not ended yet!

There are still far too many annoyances out there - too much crap oozing (and abusing) all over the place, especially when it comes to that Culbec God-forsaken place there - but it is not only there; no, not only... Aye, there are still far too many annoyances indeed for us to promptly attend to all of them, one at a time, intently and precisely, neatly and decisively (and not always so neatly, really... as a matter of fact, it ought to get quite messy, after a while - after a very short while at that! But I digress...) We haven't had nor devoted time to that in years anyway, here - YEARS! But that is another story! Onwards with the diatribe...  And so, we might ask once again: why, oh why bother dealing with any of it in such great depth, really? They are beneath us! Thus, we chose to adopt the expeditive and most efficient method here, permanently: blast it all to pieces, piece by piece, take no prisoners, be short and incisive, even to the point of being crude (sometimes!) and spare no one, absolutely no one in the process - while we give them no chance to retort! (The comments section remains open, mind you - SO, WE DARE YA! YES WE DO! COME ON... YOU LOUSY DIRTY RRRATS!) But while BEING QUICK ABOUT IT like that, dishing out our punishment in a less painful way (the more lethal and virulent stuff, meant for a long and painful demise (FOR THEM) and distasteful diatribe (from us) goes to the Lambasting Blog! See you THERE - but then come back quick, to HERE - y'hear?) with only little doses of pure poison at a time, evenly spread out and spaced out here (you'll see)... and yet, without a shadow of a tiny little infinitesimal doubt, we strike fatal blows here, nonetheless! (We think!) So don't get us wrong here: in doing it this way, we do not hope that it will be less painful for everyone involved - at all! Au contraire, we hope it will sting, stab, bite and burn even more furiously since none of these topics deserve any more time in the limelight than this right here (with one glaring exception now and then, really - but, to be honest, there are so few of those, it makes one want to cry, really...! But that is another story too...) Therefore, none of these stories deserved or was dignified with a full post to call it its own anywhere else on the TLB Prime Network - at blogging time, that is!

Let the rambling commence...!!! 

And to begin with... here: 

In honor of those seven (7) magnificent U.N. peacekeepers killed (mere hours ago, it would appear) while fighting those ghastly rebels in Congo... the ever-troubled Congo. 

Next! 

Have you ever heard of such a thing as... SEXSOMNIA?!? 

A convicted sexual assault offender has been granted a RE-TRIAL with this most unusual (and mostly unseen) plea - six years after being found guilty as charged!

Ryan Hartman was convicted in 2012 - now, he could be declared ''not guilty because of acute sleepwalking disorder while having wet dreams''... ?!? 

Just when you thought there could not be more absurd travesties of justice in this world...!!! 

Ryan's Hope... laid with his lawyer, we are sure... *LOL* 

He may have done that laying wide awake - for once! 

And somewhere, somehow... Harvey Weinstein's hopes have been rekindled, as well... despite having no peace right now (cue in: Paz... de la Huerta.) 

Harvey WEINSTEIN - never to be confused with
Harvey FIERSTEIN - duh!
(Ironically, the ''FIER'' part of the name
means ''proud'' in French... Gay Paris, huh?)
Harvey F is now known as #theGoodHarvey
but he'd rather be known as #TheFabHarvey... eh?
Surely someone suggested some alternative to that:
something like... #theHagHarvey perhaps?
(Hey - he is up for the role of Ursula The Sea Witch
in Sofia Coppola's remake of The Little Mermaid,
 stealing work from better, maybe even larger
actual actresses in the process - is he not?!?)

Next! 

LANDING GEAR FALLS DOWN ON AIRPLANE THAT WAS LANDING... somewhere in Newfoundland. 

MIRACULOUSLY enough, no one was reported injured - at blogging time! 

Only in Newfoundland... eh? One has a sense that, somehow, now, in the 21st Century, those old Newfie jokes are going to be making some sort of a comeback... EH? 

Next! 

Only on them news tickers will you read such things: 

R.I.P. HUNTRESS JILL

So... She passed away three (3) months ago... what?

It went under the radar - 

unlike Dolores O'Riordan's accidental O.D.

But that's another (sad) story...

...of course, the question can be asked: 

''does it still qualify as 'news ticker material' if it takes up 

the whole screen now...?'' 

Uhh...

Next! 

How can this even be possible: 

A LESBIAN DOLPHIN ?!? 

Yeah, well... If she looked like this, maybe 

we'd be a little bit more inclined to believe it: 

Next! 

Paradise... Burns.  

Let that sink in. 

Okay, it is only Californication's demented 

version of Paradise - called Malibu, really... 

Although there is a locality called Paradise, too... 

And there's a Bearadise somewhere in the U.S. too... 

On the opposite coast, bearily... 

It is not popular with PETA, though: 

Who are we to BEARIEVE...? 

BEARATE...?

BELIEVE?!? 

Bear witness to this, Ty Berius: 

let's call the whole thing off!

Next! 

Only thing is - we cannot completely omit the sad (very sad) topic of those wildfires in California now - where Paradise turned into Hell quite in a hell of a hurry there... 

Paradise Lost... 

Milton never saw it like this. 

Then again... 

His vision was not better. 

Or worse. 

Just... different.

We know that Paradise... 
is not on this Earth, anyway. 

Apocalyptic visions like this 
confirm it well... 

WE ARE... IN HELL ALREADY. 

Next! 

Now what are those oddest of news coming out of COLOMBIA though - enough to make us think they truly are weirder than both Canada and Cuba --- Combined!!! 

(as if the drugs & coffee alone 

did not lead us to think so already!)  

FROGS - they are numerous, apparently, 

down in Colombia! 

There's a lot of them... 

But to find 216 of them 

-the very poisonous froggy kind, too- 

in the toilets of an airport... 

Bogota is off our list - 

far, far away from BOSTON! 

Next! 

And only in Culbec, Canada... 

After turning into an ''O.B.L.'' (French for a non-lucrative organisation - status comes in very handy when it comes time to produce income tax reports!) the century-old newspaper ''La Presse'' (which is Montreal's version of the New York Post - shall we say?) is now desperate to further cut them pesky costs: they're asking many of the remaining journalists that are remunerated to leave on early retirement! 

And to think that they were thrilled 

with what the future would bring 

just a few MONTHS ago... 

Always said it: 

journalists are full of themselves - 

and bloggers are not inferior to them! 

Both are getting death threats, too... 

Almost in equal numbers. 

Next! 

Journalists that are getting offed in shocking, horrid circumstances are making the news far more often though - that is undeniable...

In Bulgaria: Viktoria Marinova 

In Malta: Daphne Caruana Galizia

In Turkey, most recently: 

Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi 

And there have been many others, in such a short time...

And, now, out of Cleveland of all places, 

reporter Nikki Delamotte...

A lookalike of Bulgaria's Viktoria Marinova - coincidentally. 

A very lugubrious coincidence, yes... 

So, yeah - to be fair - it is like open season on the nosey journalist/reporter type... While all I ever heard of, blogger-wise, was one guy being sentenced to be whipped a lot -and imprisoned- for blasphemy...

Even Lois Lane died, recently...

REST IN PEACE, ALL. 

Next! 

Only thing is (and that debate rages on; goes on and on; will never end!) the SOUL DOES LIVE ON - there is no question about it! Albert Einstein himself knew so and stated so much: no energy ever dissipates - it just displaces in both the known and unknown universe! (Multiverse, if you prefer...!) 

And speaking of multiverses...

haw - no!!!

NOT HAWKING 

AGAIN!!!

Next! 

Only DC and Marvel appear to make any use of the theory, nowadays - whereas it was a staple of good old, cheap but somehow sophisticated (?) science-fiction, back in the day - now, it is the exclusive right of those two overgrown comicbookies companies!!! 

And what do they do with it, exactly...?

They use it as the simplest, safest excuse to cash cow all of their properties, that's what: for, now, it is perfectly legitimate to (try and) sell us a dozen different versions (MINIMUM) of their God-Damn BATMAN... SPIDER-MAN... LOBO... DEADPOOL... VENOM... JOKER... HARLEY QUINN... 

you name them!

NO - we're NOT buying!

Next! 

The venerable OXFORD DICTIONARY has announced that it has made its selection for the WORD OF THE YEAR, folks...

And the winner for 2018 is... TOXIC! 

I knew this freak would make a comeback... SOON! 

And his American ways have overwhelmed the Brits, too! 

So much for thy Brexit... THEUH-REESA!  

But that is another story...

Enjoy more toxicity now - 2018 is not over yet! 

Coming up, quick on the heels of this amazing Toxic Comeback,  

will be, in no particular order: 

Freakazoid... Earthworm Jim... Cabbage Patch Kids... 

The Mask... Night Man... The Herculoids... Captain Power... 

and everybody's favorite - Condorman! 

Next!

Quite frankly, folks...

THE NEWS, these days... are quite depressing! 

R.I.B. - Ramblings In Brief - Four Years Waiting!!!!

There are far too many annoyances out there - too much crap all over the place, especially when it comes to that Culbec God-forsaken place - far too many annoyances indeed to promptly attend to, one at a time, intently and precisely, really... (We haven't had nor devoted time to that in years anyway, here - YEARS! But that is another story!)

But that is another story too...) therefore, none of these stories deserved or was dignified with a full post to call it its own anywhere else on the TLB Prime Network - at blogging time, that is!

Hence, here we go again...  Brace yourself, Culbec...!
(Never to be confused with Cuba - although we'll be mentioning it, also...)
(Yes, this is yet another Culbec-specific post... yet again!!!)

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

First off, turn on your speakers *LOUD* and click on this right here: 

It is the perfect ambient music for your reading through what follows...!
Trust us on that... okay; all set? Speakers ON? Let`s go!

Watching TV in Culbec, one gets to be the witness of such aberrations, sometimes: there's this show, for instance, hosted by a somewhat well-known scholar from Montreal and two students/protégés of his (obviously)  - at some point, this commercial flashes on the screen: ''électrons libres de Télé-Québec est fièrement appuyé par Francofête pour son usage impeccable de la langue française'' it said! Well... immédiatement après ce message pub, le collaborateur barbu du show de mes deux (!!) lance un "il s'en sacre" bien senti (à propos d'un chat, en fait, mais ce ne sont que des détails...) instead of the impeccable French expression of choice - in that case, ''il s'en fout'' maybe...?

Meanwhile, sur TQS... euh, je veux dire V, bien sûr... 
You donèt teach an old dawg new tricks, see: their "Cinéma Club" reeks of that old thing called ''Bleu Nuit'' that was the sole reason for anybody to watch TQS- ever - back in the day... The C.C. now features such classics as this one, starring former porn star Traci Lords in the coveted role of a... nurse.

A murderous nurse, that is. 

SPOILERS ALERT!!! 

She wants to show she has range, one imagines: 

she can do more than what she is best known for... 

you know... the things she would act out, 

when she wasn`t even of legal age to do so...

OK - let`s not go there!

The film is a proud production of these rather obscure studios we certainly have never heard of - they who must be specializing in ''made-for-TV'' fare, most probably... with unknown thespians and odd choices cast into key roles, just for good measure...? 

Encore une fois, c'est les pubs qui sauvent le tout; on apprend que le numéro de téléphone de LPS n'est plus "two-five-four-six-oh-one-one" - pas vrai!

Par chance on retrouve une certaine paix intérieure avec les pubs de Vendirect (et son beat infernal) et Rogers, avec toutes ses belles promesses... Et puis, aussi, Samsung avec sa minutie obsessionelle concernant la qualité de leurs produits - et le rétablissement de leur réputation! But that's another story...

Let's flip channels! 

This cute slogan may or may not hint at the fact that some 50% 

of the employees at T-Q (formerly R-Q; you know 

the story, don't you: I told it! Just because they wanted to be 

like the country's national television, ''Radio-Canada'' 

these jokers called themselves ''Radio-Québec'' - 

and it took them only about a quarter of a century 

to realize that it was nonsensical for a TV station 

to call itself ''Radio-whatever'' - they most 

probably blamed it on the federal.) 

as 50% of the employees of rival ''V'' (former TQS; 

now, that stood for ''Télévision Quatre-Saisons'' 

nothing too inventive but nothing entirely 

dumb either!) are members of some union 

-sure- but also of the LGBTQ portion 

of Sodom & Gomorrah there: 

meaning Laval & Montréal... 

We let you decide!

NOO-VO

Oh - what a pun! 

Phonetic French! 

NOUVEAU = NOOVO 

(Même si, en fait, ça marche pas en Français... 

KUDOS (koodos?) for the effort... doh!)

And all it means is that you can access all the crap 

that ''V'' there broadcasts (almost all) 

at any time you want now - 

online too. 

It is enough reason to cry, yes...

Maybe it's a better way to survive the winter blues - 

by popping up the jam - or trying to? 

POP... POP DE JAM 

PUMP IT UP 

PUMP IT IN AND PUMP IT OUT...?!?

Tears are being shed... still.

The commercials abound about CUBA, though, all over CULBEC... 

one wonders why, hmm?

Could it be that, deep down in their heart of hearts, Culbécois de souche et ''pure laine'' arbor nothing but hatred for their horrible winter season - and seek to escape it, at whatever cost, on the beaches of several southern destinations, actually...!

Indubitably.

Next!

We shall make the case that this applies wholly to one Jessica Farrar - in light of her proposition here:

  American Female Politician Proposes Men Be Fined $100 For Masturbating

  Fed up with some recently proposed anti-abortion bills in her state, Texas representative Jessica Farrar decided to fight back - by proposing that we turn that viral Hillary Clinton meme into a reality. According to the Texas Tribune, Farrar has proposed a bill that would fine men $100 (£82) for masturbating. Farrar's bill, titled the "Man’s Right To Know Act," would also require that men read a booklet with medical information about the benefits and concerns that a man might have while seeking a vasectomy, a Viagra prescription, or a colonoscopy.

CULBEC remains the worst for such bad news though: if one was already on to SODA and its depressive effects, a long time ago, it is on news reports emanating from there that the scariest numbers emanated from, recently, once again - predictions having that there will be hundreds of cases of perfectly preventable diseases in the province, country and on the North American continent overall due to the daily consumption of SO-CALLED SOFT DRINKS...

All the more reason to stick to HARD LIQUOR, one could be led to think!

OH YEAH... 

We're feeling FUERTE tonight, alright - 

what about you, hombre? 

Does one really need more evidence of the bad, sad news that wretched corner of the globe has got in store for you, day in and day out? Well... Here it is:

Of course they start with ''how bad things are 

elsewhere around the globe''...

... before focusing upon local stooges...

Then it's time to expose (for the umpteenth time) 

how fraudulent bank practices really are: 

TD Bank... 

RBC... 

Scotiabank...

all of them! 

And then... sports.

NONE more pathetically sad than that LAST 

one... or two! 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

That'll teach ALL the Clods out there: if they cannot cut it in a good town, why would they even think that they would have any luck at all in that particular wretched place, where the fans are like beer-guzzling zombies obsessed with 1993, the number 24 and have yet to realize that they NEVER deserved a winner - in ANY sport! But I am digressing...

The real sad news (and reasons why Culbec denizens and other tools of the sort are keen on morphing into Snowbirds headed for Florida, Cuba and further south still - but not much further than that; because they can't afford it!) are these:

A mere little BLIZZARD, late in the winter season 

-clearly the last snowstorm of this one- 

took the entire Culbec 

COMPLETELY OFF-GUARD... 

People were stuck on Highway 13 

(ever the lucky number) 

where hundreds were stranded an entire night

even though calls were lodged to 9-1-1... 

But the problem apparently was that the city 

takes care of 9-1-1 services; but the highway 

is in the provincial jurisdiction! 

AND 9-1-1 DID NOT RELAY THE CALLS TO THEM! 

Plus: somebody was asleep at the console because 

there are cameras all along those highways 

and for nobody to have known it was ''serious'' 

until the next morning, and between 300 and 500 

people were forced to sleep in their cars, 

without food or drink... 

WOW... 

The Incompetence Is Strong With These Ones!

Oh yeah - beauties were priosners... prioryers... prioners ?!?

Gosh - it's contagious! 

They can't spell ''PRIONNIÊRES'' 

(PRISONNIÈRES, really) 

and neither could we, for a sec here!

(They must have never watched this show...)

Ohh... Let's do this again: 

BEAUTS WERE MADE PRISONERS 

OF THEIR OWN BEASTLY CARS 

- but they didn't die! 

Several guys did die, however: 

one old-timer was found dead in his car 

after he had spent a considerable amount of time 

trying to shovel it out of the snow... 

Another old-timer, same thing:

dead inside his car. 

Two other guys were stuck in theirs 

in some no man's land - 

hypothermia sank in and got them 

and no one got to them on time: 

not the Sureté, not local police, 

nor firemen - nobody! 

Another guy keeled over dead 

after the extreme effort 

of shoveling the snow... 

ON TOP OF THAT, one snow-plow machine 

accidentally killed a pedestrian 

that it couldn't see because the snow 

formed a six-foot tall wall...

IS THERE ANY DOUBT THAT ALL OF THESE SNOWBIRDS 

WOULD HAVE RATHER TAKEN FLIGHT, QUICK, 

AND FLY AWAY AS DEEP SOUTH AS THEY COULD? 

AND NOT TO ''PARTIR POUR... QUEBEC'' - NO!

''LE PAYS QUI N'EST PAS UN PAYS - MAIS L'HIVER'' 

AND YET (I?) WHEN THERE'S SOMETHING 

IN THE SLIGHTEST LIKE THEY SHOULD BE USED TO, 

IT RESULTS IN SENSELESS TRAGEDY: 

ICE RAIN CRISIS... SNOWSTORMS... BLIZZARD. 

No wonder there will be a class action suit here - 

incompetents MUST PAY.

STILL, THE NITWITS MANAGE TO IGNORE ALL THAT 

AND MAKE THEIR HEADLINE, THE NEXT DAY, 

ALL ABOUT A MONTREAL MORON 

THAT PLAYED HOCKEY 

DECADES AGO - 

AND DIED ALREADY 

but not because he had to shovel any snow now, 

nooooooooooooo...!!!

He probably never did again 

THE REST OF HIS LIFE 

from 1955 until the very end 

- wasn`t he the CH Ambassador, 

after all - their *diplomat* 

and, maybe, the only one of them 

who could carry an intelligent conversation 

beyond the two-minute mark, 

though monotonous at best, 

boring as heck 

and basically clueless 

about anything that had not a thing to do 

WITH HOCKEY...???

R.I.P. Blizzard Victims - 

not you, Béliveau! 

NEXT!

But they never give up, no, they never do; they will want to pretend that all is well and that there are plenty of worthwhile ways to waste your time and money all about town - even when mere snow is killing people left and right... 

Here are some of those hack... ack... activities... prickled from the newspapers again, in our own, extremely acerbic version of une revue (ou un fil... hein, Ariane?) de presse... 

ANGÉLIQUE...? 

Black Angélique - sort of Black Emmanuelle, you know? 

As alluring as the original one -well, almost- but not all there... 

In this case, she has a lot in common with Nero - 

the Roman Emperor, that's right: that Nero! 

Who knows what possessed Lorena Gale 

to write a play about this crazy... 

The fact that she might have been innocent? 

Or that there were no other inspiring subjects at the time? 

One thing is for darn sure: 

this Angélique has nothing to worry about...

Next!

One has got to be torn, here, between these two choices: 

visual arts based upon the sentiment of SHAME - 

and the so-called poetry of one Gaston Miron. 

Quite frankly, we prefer symbolism 

over maladroitly pieced together rhymes 

read with an accent and a keen preference 

for that abomination called joual...!

Miss Dong... we are coming! 

The MAI seems tailor-made for us...

Now, from the same reference, 

a drunken suggestion:

Thundercats never encouraged drunkenness - what is this @#$#%$@...?!?

Anyway...!!!

Some art 

- TRUE ART - 

may yet restore one`s faith in humanity...?

Okay... Never mind!

Maybe we ought to escape reality altogether instead...

''Zoe'' there looks a little and a lot like 

the main character in ROGUE ONE...

Just a coincidence, I'm sure. 

Another GoFundMe triumph...

Now, as far as those new talents go, below, 

two look suspiciously familiar - not ''new'' at all...

And two look just like bimbos bound to be 

forgotten after fifteen minutes... or less.

Maybe this artist has more staying power - 

especially as she associates with another one, 

post-departum...

One can try as one may, 

admiring the arts of these people... ce peuple... le publum?!?

No, let`s not go latin now... 

Try as one can, though, 

their greater quality of simply being INEPT 

always comes to the fore in spectacular ways,  

completely obliterating everything else - 

I mean, just read this headline now...

HOW PATHETIC CAN YOU GET TO BE...!?

More? Here`s more for ya:

Another one to thank the typesetter for, right here...

Want MORE??? HERE IS MORE!

GOD-DAMNED QUACKS!!!

AARGHHHHHH...!!! 

That last shot of a bonafide leprechaun 

(the mayor of Montreal; Denis Coderre)

truly says it all...

AND THESE MORONS 

WHO CAN`T EVEN SETTLE ANYTHING 

NOR FIX THEIR OWN PROBLEMS 

THINK THEY HAVE GOT EUROPA 

AAAAAALL FIGURED OUT...???

HUH?!? 

HUH?!?

My God... MY GOD...!!!

One last FARCE...

Oh yeah... rrrrrrrrrrright... absolutely! 

THE MOST ANCIENT MICRO-ORGANISMS 

AND FOSSILS EVER FOUND 

ARE FROM THE CULBEC:

RRRRRRIGHT ON! 

Life started there, so miserably - 

and it perpetuates this pathetic tradition now!

And in true sad news from the aquatic side of things 

department, now: 

Once again, the editors... pagesetters... whatever old profession it is 

that will die with the newspaper industry when it folds... 

they show their empathy, their sympathy, how much they care... 

by juxtaposing a picture of a naked chick, getting a massage, 

(in a hut on the beach, maybe?) 

with this gripping story...

Like, who cares about the coral reef - 

when we can still enjoy our vacation - right?

Swine... 

It comes upon them, however -once in a while- to actually choose 

judiciously the headline story - something poignant, 

something heart-wrenching... 

It can happen - to be fair...

And here it is:

Figures that it is not ''une Culbécoise pure laine''... at all.

News outlets there, though, have it set as a rule: 

when too much crap is being spread about 

concerning local leaders, governmental bodies 

and the like - blame America!

... for bloodsheds abroad...

... for an eventual World War III.

BECAUSE IT'S ALWAYS WORSE SOMEWHERE ELSE - 

AND ALWAYS BETTER... COLDER for sure... 

''AU CULBEC''
