Author Message   Arbalest Posted on Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - 06:41 am:        Newfie_Buell I am from Southern Maine, but I have a friend in Totonto who sends me Canadian humor on occasion.   Newfie_Buell Posted on Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - 08:26 am:        Lgpch, I see your a lifeguard, try the icy North Atlantic where the water temperature hovers around 1 degree celsius. A couple minutes in that water and yer toast - well frozen toast. As for North Swells here is one of a supply vessel off the Gravity Base Oil Drilling Structure In the summer the water is not much warmer, last year I decided to try to swim in the ocean near my folks place where there is a sandy beach, I got up to my knees and the water was so damm cold I swear my bones hurt. Arbalest, Check the Storm Fronts as I am planning a trip to Detroit to meet up with Spidey and the boys for a Hooters Party which is gonna take me through Toronto and area. I will be in Halifax, NS for the Atlantic Regional Rally then heading from there. Your more than welcome to join in. I love Newfie & Canadian Humor, If you can't laugh at yourself who can you laugh at.   Arbalest Posted on Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - 10:16 am:        Newfie_Buell I'll check the Storm Fronts. I also really like Maine humor. If you've never been exposed to Maine humor, it can sound a little strange. Check the internet for "Bert and I" or Tim Sample, for some examples. Here is a short example by Kendall Morse: "I was standing outside Helens Restaurant in Machias Maine, talking to Uriah Boardman. Uriah is into his 90s now, and quite bald. While we were talking, a sea gull flew over and dropped a mess right on top of Uriahs bald head. He just stood there looking numb, he's good at that, and I said "You stand right here, and I'll go get some toilet paper." Uriah says "What for? By the time you get back with it that gull will be a mile away"!"   Newfie_Buell Posted on Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - 11:13 am:        Thats sounds very similar to our humor, One of the funniest movies I have seen this past year is "Rare Birds" starring Andy Jones (local actor), William Hurt and Molly Parker. It was actually shot at Cape Spear, Newfoundland (considered to be the most easterly point in North America) and is one of the best I have seen in a long time. There is a link to a website Rare Birds If you can find it at your local movie store its worth watching.   Whatever Posted on Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - 01:12 pm:        I am back at work. I am bored. It is lunch.   Whatever Posted on Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - 01:13 pm:          Whatever Posted on Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - 01:15 pm:        God Bless the Chimpanzee !   Joey Posted on Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - 02:19 pm:        In each picture (IMHO) the one on the right has more of a look of wisdom...   Rick_A Posted on Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - 02:34 pm:        Fucking Florida drivers...these two fucks...not one but two...both minivans...shot across the road directly in my path...one in front of the other...while I was doing 60 today. I've never braked so hard in my life. No wonder it hasn't even been a year and my new front brake is already almost roasted. People have no respect.   Whatever Posted on Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - 04:43 pm:        Newfie, The only problem is if it is COLD I want snow. At least you can ski, mush or snowmobile. Why the hell have you not bought a snowmobile? Are you Canadian or something ? Charlotte   Newfie_Buell Posted on Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - 05:00 pm:        Charlotte, I am first a Newfie, then a Canadian seeing we were bamboozled into confederation with Canada. I believe we should have either started our own country or joined the US. If we did that no government would be raping our natural rescources. I had a choice this year for a new toy. 1. 1999 Buell Billet Metallic S3 2. Real fast blow your mind snowmobile of some kind. 3. New Family Mini-Van seeing we have 4 young children And the winner was a shiney 2000 Fully Loaded Ford Windstar seeing the bloody transmission gave out in my 10yr old Pontiac Transport and the cost to have it repaired was almost as much as it was worth. I believe in cutting your losses before you get too deep. So on top of the approximately 40cm or so of snow I have had dumped on me this past week, I had to deal with losing out on getting a new toy. I will have to wait another year for my S3 or if I find a good deal on a S2. And yes when I think about it I get in a real crappy mood. Second choice was the S3 and third was the snowmobile. If you like snow this is the place to be this year. The ski hills on the west coast of the island are booming. SO THERES my RANT   Dave Posted on Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - 05:28 pm:        Newfie...go for the S2 when it's time for a Thunderbolt DAve   Crusty Posted on Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - 08:48 pm:        I HATE FREAKIN' WINTER!   Newfie_Buell Posted on Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - 08:52 pm:        And now for a good joke. Newfoundlander -vs- Taliban A large group of Taliban soldiers are moving down a road when they hear a voice call from behind a sand dune. "One Newfoundland soldier is better than 10 Taliban." The Taliban commander quickly sends 10 of his best soldiers over the dune, where a gun-battle breaks out and continues for a few minutes, then ....... silence. The voice then calls out: "One Newfoundland soldier is better than 100 Taliban." Furious, the Taliban commander sends his next best 100 troops over the dune and instantly a huge gunfight commences. After 10 minutes of battle, again ...... silence. The Newfoundland voice calls out again: "One Newfoundland soldier is better than 1000 Taliban." The enraged Taliban Commander musters 1000 fighters and sends them across the dune. Cannon, rocket and machinegun fire ring out as a huge battle is fought. Then....... silence. Eventually one wounded Taliban fighter crawls back over the dune, and with his dying words, tells his commander: "Don't send any more men, it's a trap ....... There's two of them."   Newfie_Buell Posted on Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - 08:53 pm:        Just think only about another 8 weeks of winter.   Rudebike Posted on Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - 09:08 pm:        8 weeks?! 8 more weeks of 67 degree weather? Oh well, guess I better put on a sweater.   Ken01mp Posted on Wednesday, January 22, 2003 - 05:45 pm:        it was so fucking cold and windy here in point, i spit my gum out on my walk back from class and it froze in mid air and shattered when it hit the ground. worse yet, the guy i go riding with on spring break SHATTERED his fibula (shin) skiing, so the whole thing is cancelled. now i have to wait till late march like everyone else in WI Ken   Newfie_Buell Posted on Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 07:55 am:        Hey Ken, Thats like it being so cold your outdoors and you take it out to pee and it freezes in an arc shape (the pee) before it hits the ground. Now for a Curse, Damm, poop and any others to be thrown in here. Forecast - 20-30cm starting at dawn tomorrow morning - looks like another snow day. Already about 350cm on the ground now.   Joey Posted on Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 08:58 am:        Being from Alaska, I remember breathing, and seeing snow fall from my breath. I won't be able to ride until next week! So damn COLD! I guess that's a good thing, since I've replaced my exhaust, but don't have the new jets yet. "Always look on the bright side of life!" (Fuck off, Monty Python!)   Cjmblast Posted on Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 09:18 am:        This cold sucks Big Time !! It's insane to live up here !!! CJM   Mikej Posted on Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 09:41 am:        I just walked out to my car to retrieve my safety glasses, didn't put my coat on, just a short sleeve shirt (and pants and shoes). No less than three people said I was nuts. I just smiled and said it's nice out there, and it's only a short walk to the car. Winter is a state of mind, a single digit state of mind, but still ....   Joey Posted on Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 11:24 am:        I get the same thing. "It's too cold out there to be wearing shorts!" (Snow on the ground) I says, "It's warm in my Jeep!"   Newfie_Buell Posted on Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 11:28 am:        I just love the heated seat in my car this year.   Mikej Posted on Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 12:12 pm:        The seat in my car is heated too, by my rear after about an hour of driving.   Rick_A Posted on Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 09:03 pm:        Here's a Buell and Harley bashing site that is utterly ridiculous to the point of being comical. Check it out!   Ken01mp Posted on Friday, January 24, 2003 - 12:59 am:        that site made me angry. pathetic cumsucking uncle-fisters. sounds like HD pissed them off somehow. you know what they say, Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. whorefaced bitches.   Newfie_Buell Posted on Friday, January 24, 2003 - 07:23 am:        Gee Ken calm down a little. I pity them for being so short sighted. I am sure there are horror stories about other bikes but I don't go around looking for them and posting on the net. Obviously these people have way too much time on their hands with nothing better to do.   Joey Posted on Friday, January 24, 2003 - 08:17 am:        Those guys are idiots! They went to epinions.com and picked the worst ratings. The Firebolt had 6 reviews. Four were 5-star, one was 4-star, and the review they chose was the 1-star. Funny--the 1-star review said it was vibrating his teeth out. Another review says it doesn't shake as much as other Buells. "This is a Buell?" was the heading of that 5-star review. I especially like the part where the reviewer said the Blast! couldn't go on the freeway. I'll remember that next time I'm cruising 15MPH over the speed limit on our local freeway, watching for cops... What a bunch of dorks!   Bomber Posted on Friday, January 24, 2003 - 08:31 am:        Uncle fisters? that's a good one . . .. . mind if I use it (out of ear-shot of my USMC-retired uncle, that is?)   Whatever Posted on Friday, January 24, 2003 - 09:27 am:        Hello All, My car died yesterday. That was kind of interesting. Never in my life have I had that happen before. Just because it was -30 degrees up here on Wednesday night and I live on top of a hill above a 5000 acre lake? Now I have a block heater on the Saturn and it fired right up this morning. Only down side is, now I am back at work. Too much work and too little time ! Charlotte PS If you can ride your bike up here I will give you a free ?@*& !!! Ha ha ha ha ha Just kidding.
