About Me
- Name: Mike Dubuc
This site has been set up to share thoughts and photographs with friends and relatives regarding Peter. This is a work in progress and will change and improve as time goes on. Our thoughts and ideas are, just that, ours. They may or may not agree with Peter's, but that's what makes the world go around (and seems to be an endless source of enjoyment). If your not going to respect Peter's opinions, than please continue reading. He is a conservative in every sense of the word. He feels that a civilized society cannot function without rules and regulations, rights and obligations. Letting the past guide us keeps our society from falling into chaos. Keeping the things that work, to allow for order and freedom, freedom for all, not just the special interest groups. Peter has come to realize that life is short. We should tell the people that we love that we love them as often as possible. One never knows when this may be ones last opportunity to do so. By the way, we will all be watching what is said, not doubt even his mother may very well be reading this. And YES, please wear your shoes into the Parlor!

God Bless Old Glory!
I must confess I'm upset with myself, I left the house today, thinking there was something missing from my house-it was the flag that was waiting in my front hall to go up!
Just remember rainbow flags should be hung lower than the USA flag.
Ugh! Rainbow this.(At this point in the program all readers should promptly use their imaginations.) I'm certain that none of your guesses are wrong. I now need to file a complaint with the blog manager. There was recently(yesterday) some renewed activity on an earlier thread-the one with my foot. It is a pitty it was archived. Those were the inspirational threads, the ones with vigor, not these sort of limp noodle, wishy-washy, neo-democrat threads(NOT THAT OLD GLORY IS ANY OF THOSE THINGS, OR HAVING THAT AS A THEME IS EITHER!!!!!!!)
Jo Jo, easy now, don't get your Union Jack undies in a twist.
Well done, daisy. I had not heard of that one.
NASA...
...North American Street Ape
Not to be confused with Yard Ape!
I hope all we fine americans are having a good time. And where is jo, jo, by the way?
And my altime favorite "goddamned bastarding little yellow devils" it's compound-complex, but lovely just the same.
What happen and why did this go off the air. Did the censors get us? Do we now have a CIA file? I didn't think the FCC had control over the internet. Who knew?
I apologize, somehow my comment which initially followed Daisy's "Banana" comment got put out of order, it was around the time Mr. Liddy started paying attention to us. I would NEVER repeat a previously used slur. By the way Kitty, I think you've missed "wet back", and "kraut". Now, everyone has been insulted.
Also, again I am SHOCKED that my wife knows and then would WRITE those words. I am prepared for eternal damnation, as I've earned it. Daisy on the other hand....I'm just disappointed in you(sniff) that's all.
Spilly! That was below the belt. I'll also call "foul", "holding",and "that's not cricket".
He doesn't march, but he did call us from it telling us he was using the rainbow umbrella we bought him a few years ago!
By the way, I am SHOCKED, SHOCKED I say to see the inappropriate language being used in this blog!
Spilly, Steve's brother doesn't march, he swishes!
OK-OK, could ya all back off Dr. F. This one ain't funny.
You want to hear details about his recent date with a male Boston TV weatherman?????
My little girl would never say the awful things I say. I am fortunate in that my chickens are better than their father.
NO!!!!!!!
No, but I'm certain his initials are M.H.
By the way....who is Mr. Brown??
Spare us the details, Dr. F. You brother's clearly insane behavior is not of interest to the reading public.
Actually, he's dated two of them! D.E. and D.B. apparently, neither one are good kissers!
That's disgusting. Unless his dates are female, I don't want to hear about spit swaping! He clearly needs competent psychological help.
I'm wondering if spilly wants more details?
He would agree with you. And the best part is that he's 36 and he's mostly been dating young ones in their 20s!
Look, your brother's psychosis is of no interest. His prurient, pathologicly perverse behavior should be kept quiet. We run a decent blog, here. Just like Archie didn't let two unmarrieds sleep under his roof or sweety pie Roger eat at his house!
Is this YOUR blog Expat?
It's about me, isn't it?
No, not at all. I´m just like any other boy, just more so. I really like women, I think that is why I find it actually repulsive. Girls are wonderful and come with all the right parts. Why hunt for hamburger when you can have steak? I really think its a psychological disorder.
I say "oyster", you say "erster". One of us is incorrect. It is that simple. Expat oddly enough, isn't off-base with his phobia.
Thank you, jo, jo. By the way, your nephew wants you to take him shooting. He wants to learn the rifle, the pistol and the compound bow!
We'll turn him into a Charleton Heston loving, "W" voting ah-Merican yet.
Well daisy, they went to some restauraunt in the South End (I've been to a few of them). I'm sure they were both wearing Armani jeans and some very form fitting American Eagle polo shirt. When I've gone there (with Susie) I make an effort to go to the mens room and see if I get checked out.
I am sad to report that I don't. Apparently I look straight.
Expat, you on the other hand, with your fine European look, could pass for one of them in a New York minute!
Nature makes me an authority. It IS very simple. Sex exists for reproduction. Whilst this line can continually spiral out of control, the basic fact IS that there are 2 sexes for the basic purpose of species continuation. I do not have the space here to completely dissect this but, as my father would say "It takes two to tangle." That being said when the same reproductive organs exist as the rest of the species and the individals have 'different ideas' about what to do with them they are-and you cannot argue this, flying in the face of MILLIONS of years of evolution. Without reproduction NOTHING would exist on the planet. Nothing. There is a chemical/genetic mistake in those types. It is a shame, but nature does not intend it. Errors occur in creatures all of the time, most often it causes the animal to die. Sometimes it gives the specific advantage in the case of a latent or invisible abnormality which allows that creature to survive environmental changes, or disease. Sometimes it makes them simply run faster than whatever is chasing them. Being able to decorate your house does not give one any advantge in survival when you are homosexual as you need to reproduce and pass on that ability. They call us "breeders", which means we pass on genetic material. DaVinci is regarded as possibly the greatest mind in recorded history, but not a scrap of his DNA survives as he was homosexual. This is truly a loss for humanity. He had many genetic abnormalities, most of which whould have aided the human condition. Unfortuantely, he had one too many. So, all of that ability did not enter the gene pool. This in VERY short form is what makes me right. I am sorry to have to say that there is no argument that can possibly have any validity to counter this one. Oh and as an aside I'll mention Sodom and Gomorrah.
Nice work jo jo.
Now, anyone want to propagate the species with me????
Wasn't Mr. Brown in one of the songs that the Andrew Sisters sang in a rather recent viewing of a certain Abbott & Costello movie at the local Nercle lodge? Pehaps you were checking out the inside of your eyelids during that number.
So you're saying that gays are an endangered species and we should make every effort to ensure them the rights and privileges thereof?
D'OH !!!
In the words of Arthur Fonzarelli (I'm paraphrasing here) You are W-W-W-Wrong. You should have read it all. It wasn't evolution 'crap' as you misguidedly put it. You cannot argue with gravity, you cannot argue with physics, you cannot argue with math. As in these, you cannot argue with physiology, or genetics or the power of DNA. Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly as they say. You could follow this statement with 'Mo's gotta bugger, which may be the case, and I did not say the contrary. I stated that it is an abnormality, and may in fact exist, but IS NOT appropriate use of the tool(sorry). This is a case of the proverbial(I can't believe I'm making this analogy) square peg in a round hole. If Expat is saying that it is wrong and it disgusts him, it is not unlike the natural physiological reaction people have when someone vomits, those near the vomiter most often have and automatic retch reflex. It is survial-long imbedded to keep yourself from eating or drinking something that could be harmful to you. It is an innate physiological reaction. Distrust of strangers is another, a very similar one to homophobia. I contend that it is a struggle for the large majority of people to not be homophobic.
Of course, being the only civil libertarian among the group (apparently) I don't care what another adult does with another, as long as it doesn't harm anyone else. That's called freedom. If Expat wants to live in Franco's dictatorship, that's fine with me. But I'll live in America and defend our freedoms for all.
I just said it's a psychological disorder and disgusts me. The reason there are more now than ever is that we have more free time than ever. There is more time for people to explore perverse activities that they otherwise would not have. In a world where we had to struggle sun up to sun down just to survive, people didn't consider these things. A man married and spent what little energy he had left procreating so that he had help on the farm. Homosexuality is just plain old perversion. It should not be recognized as normal and should not be solemnized either civilly or religiously. And as to Sodom and Gomorrah, jo, jo is right.
Dr. F. I'm a step away from Civil Liberatarinaism myself, the downside I think to it is that it comes a touch too close to chaos for me. I'm a bit of a Fascist in my desire for order. Albeit a small gov't fascist. Expat has a point in his boredom issue, just as the internet has had an impact in all of these kiddie diddler sicko bastards, and their access to children. If they wanna get hitched-fine, just don't call it Marriage-pick another term, that belongs to us straight folks. I don't disagree that they have the right to do as they choose as you said. I'm simply debating the "normalcy" of it. I wouldn't argue with a great American such as yourself, Dr. F. (At this point in the dialogue simply insert an Edwardsian apology regarding your brother, and how I unerstand you.)
daisy, you go girl!
jo jo, Believe it or not,I have no quarrel with gay marriage. Hell, I'm horrified by the amont of governmental interference in straight marriages. Now, the State wants to dictate which adult can marry another? No. Not in my country. Government is already way, way to big and many of my good conservative friends wish to give it even more power to regulate the lives of adults. Sorry. Though I signed a petition to put the question on the ballot, I shall vote NO if it appears on our ballot in 2007. And anyway, if gays want to put themselves into priso..I mean get married, why should I stop them from that hel...I mean happpiness.
oh and daisy, I'm sure my brother would be more than happy to go clothes shopping with you sometime. He has gone with Susie and he has a great sense of fashion :)
Dr. F I tink it is a question like Bill Clinton's "sex". I think it is important not to muddle the meaning of the word. Marriage has been the bond of 1 man and 1 woman for most of human history, and Indeed our culture revolves around it as the center of the family unit. The issue I think is that if we open the door on the meaning of the word then we'll have some idiot in Pennsylvania who marries a pig, or the Mormons(who wants more than one wife???)and their issues will come out. They just need to leave marriage alone. Simply pick another word. Call it Glibnif, or call it Suicide, or call it Union-call it whatevra...It is government who is causing this problem. If the Govt. stayed out of it there would be NO question. We would not be talking about it because the Govt is protecting all of these left wing nut bags. The Govt. needs to stay out and listen to the people who resoundingly don't want this. Again-let 'em get hitched! I don't care, just find the right phrase.
They bitch that they want to be married because they want the "rights" of married people, to get the 401k, the pension plan, the health insurance, etc. They don't need marriage to get that. A simple will will protect inheritance, and when I was at the bank I could have made my dog the beneficiary of my 401K and pension and put it on my health insurance. Their issues are all red herrings. They want the marriage thing because they crave legitimacy. And they know they can't have it. I don't care who buggers who, it's not marriage, it's not a family, it's not normal. If they want to do it, fine, it's just not and never will be legitimate. And they better stay away from my kids!
Thankfully, we have Expat to provide us all with the definition of normal!
Oh-that's right, I forgot. Did everyone get my japanese soccer email?
Sorry for lumping all the freaks together. They should all be in a circus tent together, so I usually put them there. And it should have said who is buggering whom. Yes, I got the e-mail, it was great! And jo, jo, pederasts should be beat within an inch of their lives revived, beat again, revived and then drawn and quartered! Even that's not enough.
Not to change the topic, but here are a few of the highlights of this day in history, Tuesday, June 20, the 171st day of 2006.
On June 20, 1893, a jury in New Bedford, Mass., found Lizzie Borden not guilty of the ax murders of her father and stepmother.
Also on this date:
In 1756, a group of British soldiers was imprisoned in India in a suffocating cell that gained notoriety as the "Black Hole of Calcutta"; most died. (The exact circumstances of this incident -- such as the number of prisoners, originally put at 146 -- are a matter of historical dispute.)
In 1782, Congress approved the Great Seal of the United States.
In 1837, Queen Victoria acceded to the British throne following the death of her uncle, King William IV.
In 1863, West Virginia became the 35th state.
In 1898, during the Spanish-American War, the U.S. cruiser Charleston captured the Spanish-ruled island of Guam.
In 1947, Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel was shot dead at the Beverly Hills, Calif., mansion of his girlfriend, Virginia Hill, apparently at the order of mob associates.
Nice facts. The same Lizzie Bordon jury was later used to acquit OJ Simpson. I've been in the court room and jury room, due to a cut in funds, both remain unchanged since the Bordon Trial. Bugsy Siegels death was recreated in the "Godfather," where Moe Green is shot through the eye while getting a massage.
Tomorrow my son has a field trip to John Adams' house. Will you be there Dr. F??
Dr. F will be somewhere north of Boston quoting himself!
hey, my quotes are always new ones!
Adams is obnoxious and disliked you know.
I hadn't heard!
Mr. Jefferson, dear Mr. Jefferson, I'm only 41 I still have my virility. And I can romp through cupids grove with great agility, but life is more than sexual combustability!
Good God, you don't mean... they're not going to...? In the middle of the afternoon?
Not everyone's from Boston, John. And for your information, the middle of the afternoon gives a whole new meaning to lunch break.
Oh John they're young and in love..
what will the history books say?
They'll only mention you. Dr. Franklin did this, Dr. Franlkin did that and Dr. Franklin did some other damn thing.
Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight
Gonna grab some afternoon delight
My motto's always been; when it's right, it's right
Why wait until the middle of a cold dark night
When everything's a little clearer in the light of day
And we know the night is always gonna be there any way
Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight
Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite
and the thought of rubbin' you is getting so exciting
Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Dr. Franklin smote the ground with his magic lightning rod and up sprang George Washington, full grown, and on his horse. The Franklin, Washington and the horse all fought the revolution by themselves. History will not remember me, Dr. Franklin.
I like it!
And don't worry, the history books will clean it up!
spilly, i plan on singing "Afternoon Delight" to you at the roast.
Nope! spilly is my girl!
Banner day Spilly! Compared to Diana now, are we?? Aren't we special.
Stunned, I am.
Studd I am!!!
What a proclamation!
Unself-effacing megalomaniac! You are really too much.
It seems you've experienced a reverse Freudian slip. You've read what's on your mind(shudder). "Waiter, May I have some more water, please?"
all spilly needs to do is wear one of those hats!
Enough, Dr. Franklin! Who'll sail the ships out of Boston, laden with Bibles and Rum?
who will be willin? for the shillin?
From what ever Carolina he says he's from!

Man whose penile implant malfunctioned wins $400,000 in lawsuit
By Ray Henry, Associated Press Writer | June 23, 2006
PROVIDENCE, R.I. --A former handyman has won more than $400,000 in a lawsuit over a penile implant that has given him a 10-year erection.
Charles "Chick" Lennon, 68, received the steel and plastic implant in 1996, about two years before the impotence drug Viagra went on the market. The Dura-II is designed to allow impotent men to position the penis upward for sex, then lower it.
But Lennon can't position his penis downward. He can no longer hug people, ride a bike, swim or wear bathing trunks because of the pain and embarrassment, and wears a fanny pack across his front to hide his condition. He has become a recluse and is uncomfortable being around his grandchildren, his lawyer said.
In 2004, a jury awarded him $750,000. A judge called that excessive and reduced it to $400,000. On Friday, the Rhode Island Supreme Court affirmed that award in a ruling that turned on a procedural matter.
"I don't know any man who for any amount of money would want to trade and take my client's life," said Jules D'Alessandro, Lennon's attorney. "He's not a whole person."
A lawyer representing both Dura-II manufacturer Dacomed Corp. and the company's insurer declined to comment. Dacomed maintained that nothing was wrong with the implant. It filed for bankruptcy after the lawsuit was filed.
Lennon cannot get the implant removed because of health problems, including open-heart surgery, his lawyer said. Impotence drugs could not help Lennon even if he were able to have the device taken out because the drugs affect tissue that was removed to install the Dura-II, D'Alessandro said.
The implant consists of a series of plastic plates strung together with steel surgical wire, almost like a roll of wrapped coins. Springs press against the plates, creating enough surface tension to simulate an erection, D'Alessandro said.
An expert testified for Lennon at trial that the problem was caused because the springs weren't set properly or the surface of the plates allowed too much friction, D'Alessandro said.
But the company filed bankrupcy so he'll never see a red cent. Pretty sad!
I realize how this may sound, but I have a problem with peoples' failure to accept nature. This is no 21 year old we are talking about this is some old creep, who because of modern medicine thinks he's still young enough to use all of his equipment. It sounds as though is health is too crappy to have sex in the first place. Perhaps he should start by exercising and changing his lifestyle to a more healthy one, then when he is healthy enough he can be deflated.
Hear, Hear, jo, jo.
