The award was founded and the trophy commissioned by Governor General of Canada the Earl Grey. (That's the truth -- quoted from Wikipedia!)
This is awarded for the proper game of football. Only three downs and proper-sized end zones.
It has to be played before the end of November. We've had 'The Fog Bowl' and 'The Mud Bowl', but we object to 'The Snow Bowl'. And, hey, by January who gives a rat's derriere for football when hockey's been on TV for months already?


"Red clothes" my *______*.
Thems the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in their dress uniforms. The Grey Cup is so dog-gone important that it cannot be entrusted to mere mortals. And it never holds ashes or tea. Only champagne. Or beer.
Congrats on your spelling of grandma, eh.
I was going to write a scathing report on Canadian "football" (or "foolball" as it is sometimes known in the US) but then I remembered that my team, my beloved U of O Ducks (yeah, it's a dumb name and they chose Donald instead of Daffy as the mascot; a fatal mistake in my mind, but then UCSB's team is called the Banana Slugs and that's just plain gross as I've seen them many times and killed many and they are disgusting creatures) but then I remembered that they lost their bowl game. Oh shame, shame, we are all walking around with paper sacks on our heads, smacking ourselves with switches, and sobbing our hearts out. How could you let this happen, Ducks? Right at the last second, too. Now U of O shirts are 40% off at Freddy's. It's too shameful for words.

What's wrong with tea? It's much better than champagne, beer, crickets, or cockroaches (I used to be allowed to testify in court as an expert on cockroach species - cool, eh?), but I would choose a very flowery jasmine mixed with green tea and pure water. Heaven!! Champagne and beer are fermented, just like giviak. Uck.

Jasmine with green tea---now your talking--very invigorating and refreshing

So you are the one who was responsible for putting away Cock Robin after this jail bird killed a cockroach;after you were able to link the species of cockroach left in his tummy ,to the scene of the crime!

John may fall of his horse; but he is very intelligent and tuff and after he licks his wounds,he hops back on to ride another day

Changing the subject,I saw a film called The Black Balloon last night--it showed the struggle that parents deal with having a child with health issues.This is cleverly done from the angle of the fifteen year old's brother.The mother handles "charlie" better at times than the dad--but he is a good man who stepped up to the plate,as he said "a man looks after his own"--I kind of liked a lot of the film--very warm and funny at times.Youtube has all the film broken down in segments--here is the first part--An aussie film by ICON (who backed The Passion of The Christ which all the main stream film players rejected)

The Ducks are a wonderful team. However, I've always leaned a bit more toward the OSU Beavers! A dam fine club!

For those with a nose for news...

BBC news online: Researchers at Leicester University discovered that playing songs such as Simon and Garfunkel's 'Bridge Over Troubled Water', and popular 1950s standard 'Moon River' to cows succeeded in relieving tension - and boosting milk yields.

De Groene Amsterdammer: A Dutch veterinarian was fined 600 guilders [about $240USD] for causing a fire that destroyed a farm in Lichten Vourde, the Netherlands. The vet had been trying to convince a farmer that his cow was passing flatulent gas; to demonstrate, the vet ignited the gas, but the cow became a 'four-legged flame-thrower' and ran wild, setting fire to bales of hay. Damage to the farm was assessed at $80,000USD.The cow was unharmed.

Others may want to just ignore that.

Subscribers to global warming theory will be happy to know that Australia is going to combat the emissions gushing out of their livestock.

Cow, goat, and sheep farts release substantial amounts of carbon into the air... estimated to be about 1,500 kg of carbon per cow per year. Enjoying your steak dinner tonight, Mr. Gore?

Livestock down under outnumber human residents 5.7 to 1. The Gov't is going to invest about $27mm researching dietary supplements, bacterial agents, and genetic engineering to minimize the fumes.

Hopefully, this will lead to better falafel.

Oh, Damn.
The secret's out.
Now you know how we got the first cow over the moon.

A lot of scientific research has gone in to this form of jet propulsion and now the left wing, anti-capitalist, communist, fascist cow hating ideologues are ruining the science. I mean, the road to self induced jet energy propulsion hasn't been an easy one. Early results were quite disheartening and we had moments where things went wrong like this -


However, our intrepid scientists persisted and the day came when, hey diddle diddle,

The Cow Jumped over the Moon!


And the legend was born...

Attachment 9687

Hence the saying--THERE IS ALWAYS A LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL!

There was an old man sitting down holding onto a sack;a young boy came up to him and asked him what was in the sack---"Monkies" the old man replies--the boys says "if I guess how many monkies are in your sack can you give me one"-- sure ,the old man replies--in fact if you guess correctly you can have them both"

A TRUE MEDICAL STORY--NO BULL---

Several years ago I was awaiting treatment for an allergic reaction at Melbourne's Saint Vincent's Hospital's emergency room.

I was told to sit in a large room divided into many identical cubicles by curtains behind which each patient could have some privacy during examination.... at least in theory. Obviously you could hear something of what was going on in the next cubicle.

I became aware of a man in the next cubicle fearfully explaining to the young doctor examining him that he was experiencing pain in his rectum.The doctor positioned the man for examination. Suddenly I heard the doctor loudly exclaim in suprise.

"My god..... What the .....! I'll be right back" and I heard him rush out.

Obviously he has discovered something rare and very serious, I surmised, and he needs to consult a more experienced doctor.

Maybe two minutes later I heard the footsteps of several excited doctors rushing in. There must have been 5-6 doctors crammed in there.

"Take a look."

Then I heard one of the other doctors loudly exclaim, "What is that? He's lit up like a Christmas tree!" Through close attention (evesdropping raptly and shamelessly) it soon became obvious to me what this patient's problem was. The poor embarrassed man had a flashlight stuck up his rectum AND THE LIGHT WAS IN THE ON POSITION AND POINTING OUTWARD!

I can imagine that doctor's shocked expression when he separated the man's cheeks and lo and behold ....this bright light shining up into his face.

A light that surpasseth all understanding.

The Squeemish can IGNORE THIS and THAT!!

That cat of yours just looks like it is behind the eigthball--how did your kitty end up drinking that milk--bottle and all ?(I failed my biology exam!) I used to feed my cat out of a bowel or sauser.--you must not have been feeding your cat; whilst you have had your cold for your cat to stick out it's tongue like that!! Even your cats' eyes are glassed over!!

No,no but you are correct though a switch in subjects is the way to go--let's talk about dogs!! All it proves is that us guys have a weird sense of humour--to post on IGNORE THIS or THAT just confirms it!!

Take two bexes ,with a hot lemon drink and you will feel much better in the morning,night ,night----zzzzzz.
