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!

Glad you're back. I got real scared there for a second!
Mike it is a wonderful likeness of yourself. Is it from Lauren's personal collection?
Hey Expat, what is the appropriate dress for me to wear to an Eagle court of Honor? Uniform or Suit?
Blue jacket, gray trousers, white shirt and the official BSA red, white and grey striped tie. You also need the pocket patch. The Abdul replacement will surely sell them to you if you don't own them. As Dennis will surely be there you can't borrow his. Mine are with me here.
The Boy Scout's Mother Asked
F. Darnall Daley, Jr.
"Where has my little baby gone?"
The Cub Scout's Mother asked,
"He went by here awhile ago.
Did you not see him pass?"
He'd gone to be a Tiger Cub
And then a Wolf was he.
He learned to carve the pinewood car,
And sing the songs with glee.
And after that he was a Bear,
And then a Webelos Scout.
He learned the Boy Scout Oath and Law,
And fun in full amount.
Crossed over to be a Boy Scout,
And shown what kindness meant.
His best is what he'd have to be,
Everywhere he went.
"Where has my baby boy gone?"
The Boy Scout's Mother asked,
"He went by here awhile ago.
Did you not see him pass?"
To hike the trails and pitch a tent,
To swim the lakes and streams,
To kindle a fire under the stars,
These were his every day dreams.
Down the long trail to Eagle,
He smilingly went his way.
The many adventures that he had,
Shaped the man we see today.
Learned to be a citizen,
A helping hand to lend.
He learned what cheerful service means,
And how to be a friend.
"Where has my baby boy gone?"
The Boy Scout's Mother asked,
"He went to be a Boy Scout,
And he grew to be a man."
Mike, great poem.
Spilly, that's disgusting!
What's green and red and green and red with cookie crumbs all over?
A dead girl scout.
Spilly, if you can say anything about Boy Scouts, it's that they put up with none of that crap. Zero tolerance isn't just a cute catch phrase for the BSA. They'll flay you and leave you in the woods to die.
As I am constantly battling to raise the intellectual virosity of this blog, I offer this breaking news story off the wires this morning. I believe this may be excellent news to all of our women companions out there who suffer needlessly from migraines. I offer my services to all those afflicted.
Migraine linked to higher sex drives
'Not tonight, dear ...' no excuse: research shows sex may relieve migraine
NEW YORK - For some individuals prone to migraine, this susceptibility may not necessarily interfere with their sex life and may in fact improve their libido, according to research published in the journal Headache.
"The goal of this research was to understand migraine better," lead author Dr. Timothy T. Houle told Reuters Health. "By better understanding how the brain is altered with this syndrome, we can develop better drugs in the future."
"Migraines have other commonly associated symptoms, such as sleep abnormalities and a higher risk of depression. Altered sex drive may be another quirk of being a migraine," he added.
Although it is commonly believed that sex drive is reduced by headaches, and sexual intercourse can cause specific types of headaches, Houle and his associates note, other research has suggested that sexual intercourse may alleviate the pain of migraine in some patients.
Houle, from Wake Forest University School of Medicine in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and his associates tested the theory that migraine and sexual desire may both be associated with serotonin. Evidence for this is the reduced libido that often accompanies depression treatment with a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, which increases brain levels of serotonin, whereas migraine is associated with reduced serotonin levels.
To investigate this complex relationship, Houle, and his associates recruited 59 adults who had at least 10 headaches annually. Twenty-three subjects (7 men and 16 women) were classified as having migraine, and 36 (18 men and 18 women) as having tension-type headache.
The subjects completed the self-administered Sexual Desire Inventory (SDI), which includes nine items measuring dyadic desire and five measuring solitary sexual desire. "It allowed the subjects to rate how much they think about sex and how much they desire sex," Houle told Reuters Health.
"Men reported about 24-percent higher sex drive than did women," the researcher said, "and the difference between migraine and tension-type headache was almost equivalent — 20 percent." Thus, women with migraines reported about the same relative levels of sex drive as men with tension type headaches.
On the nine-point scale the subjects specifically rated their own sexual desire compared with that of others of the same age and sex. The migraine patients reported the highest level (5.0), which is "above the expected median (4.0) on this item," Houle and his colleagues note. Those with tension-type headaches gave themselves an average rating of 3.7 for this item.
What was even more interesting, Houle said, was that the migraine patients were aware that they rated their sexual desire higher than that of other patients in the group.
However, he added that "there was no evidence that their sexual desire was beyond that of high normal or that they are hypersexual."
"It can now be hypothesized that a serotonergic link may be implicated in both migraine headaches and sexual desire," the researchers conclude. Also, serotonin receptors also appear to be involved in several aspects of sexual functioning.
On the other hand, they point out that there are multiple classes and subtypes of serotonin receptors. Therefore, they conclude that "any neurochemical mechanism(s) that might link serotonin and migraine would likely be sophisticated and multifactorial."
Houle concluded: "Our research is now focused on mathematical modeling to predict migraine activity, to see if we can figure out for any individual patient when they are at increased risk of an attack so it can be aborted."
Don't ya just love modern medicine! Steve, we need govt. funding for this!
Working on it!
You Dr. F. are a Great American!
I am a public servant doing my best for the taxpayers.
It was a coincidence, spilly. My job is to report breaking sex news. It's the burden of which I must bare.
And why was it entrusted to you? Is it the extra cromestones?
yes, it's the extra Chromostones i carry with me. plus, I'm a dedicated american who tried to vote twice in presidential elections.
On June 17, 1775, the Revolutionary War Battle of Bunker Hill took place near Boston. The battle, which actually occurred on Breed's Hill, was a costly victory for the British, who suffered heavy losses while dislodging the rebels.
Happy Bunker Hill Day to everyone!!!!!! (my favorite holiday of the year)
Actually, most of us take it as a comp day and use the holiday on July 3rd.
Remember, "Don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes!" Bunker Hill day is another one of those extremely important Suffolk County Holidays. What would the commonwealth be without them.
working?
Stop using the gerund form of four letter words!
It pained me to use that word!
It's a word you have little experience with!
Codswallop. I worked hard last Thursday morning.
When you cleaned up the coffee you spilled on your tie!
it was a tough stain
Since then you've not only had your secretary bring the coffee in, you've had her hold the cup to your mouth!
Cindy may bring my coffe, but I drink it myself thank you! Anyway, she's busy getting my lemon danish.
Look whose calling Dr. F. Lazy! An attorney! One mind you who had to go to live in Mexico to be labeled a "hard worker" by his fellow man.
Mexico? Is that where I am. I thought I was in Europe. When did Mexico move?
LOL!!!
Sorry Expat but that was fhun-e.
He's right jo jo. The Mexicans want to work hard. Expat is in Spain enjoying the fruits of the successful European economy where they rise at 10, take siesta at noon, return to work at 4, then leave for the day at 6.
Of course, Dr. F is right on the money or is it the siesta.
I was temporarily blinded by Jo Jo sardonic wit.
Maybe I'm mistaken, maybe he went to Bolivia, perhaps he's robbing trains.
Bolivia??
He ain't no Butch Cassidy
Nor the Sundance Kid, despite the New Jersey connection. I wouldn't rob trains, I'd rob banks as I know how to say hands up in Spanish! Dr. F. don't forget that you live in a glass house.
Esto est un robbo!
I live in a glass house intentionally. Expat. I walk around nude.
With Jessica Alba
God save us from such an awful sight. And it's manos arriba, jo, jo.
spilly, i have found yet another reason to respect and admire you.
Where do we find this list, and can we vote?
As a public service I have done some research into spilly's claims. As you might suspect, she was perilously close to the truth:

Scarlett Johansson's Hooters Win Best Breasts In Hollywood
by Mike Baron
Jun 9, 2006
According to In Touch Weekly's new poll, actress Scarlett Johansson has the best breasts in Hollywood, and knocked Jessica Simpson to second place - with her knockers!
22-year-old Johansson took the top spot for the best hooters, leaving pop singer Jessica Simpson in third place and Salma Hayek in third.
In Touch Weekly says, "It's not unusual for Scarlett to receive loads of compliments for her ample chest."
Johansson, who revealed that she named her jugs "the girls", recently posed nude with Keira Knightly for the cover of Vanity Fair magazine, and it's obviously paid off.
While the 'Lost in Translation' star's breasts have won her the title of best breasts in Hollywood, her desirable rack also prompted a TV reporter to grope her them on the red carpet during a live interview at the Golden Globe Awards earlier this year.
The actress' cheeks turned bright red after the reporter, Isaac Mizrahi, asked her what she had on underneath her sexy red dress.
the actress replied, "Not much", and sure enough, the reporter shot back "Not much, except there's something going on underneath".
He then groped Johansson's breast and said, "It's built in, I just want to feel it - oh, I just love that."
You can imagine how stunned everyone was, including Scarlett.
The full top 10 is:
1. Scarlett Johansson
2. Jessica Simpson
3. Salma Hayek
4. Halle Berry
5. Jessica Alba
6. Tyra Banks
7. Jennifer Love Hewitt
8. Rebecca Romijn
9. Lindsay Lohan
10. Brittany Murphy
I'll bet Rebecca's are real!
I think scarletts are as well as she's all of 19
I can assure you that Jessica Alba's are real.
Don't tell her Dr. F!!!
I am aware.
you're right. I have two hand knowledge of Jessica's boobs.
Lori!
What a backHANDED way to accuse Dr.F of being a red blooded American man who’s TITular CUP doth run over (and over, and over...). I think we should stop all this reference now with a quick NIP, PULLing away from such juvenile obsessive conversation. No longer accost Dr. F with the KNOCKERS of bias prejudice but afford him the depth of courtesy from your JUGS of compassion.
Mike, I am overwhelmed by your thoughtfulness. I am a victim of the mammory, you see that. This nation of ours is so great thanks to fine and distingished gentlemen like jo jo and yourself. We American men are able to take LARGE issues in our HANDS and CARESS them until the SOFTNESS of our compassion becomes evident.
Dr. F., Mike, you too and your examples of raising the flag of patriotism makes me proud to know you both. I salute you!
And I’m proud to be an American where at least I know I’m free.
And I won’t forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.
And I’d gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land God bless the U.S.A.
That's not the balad of the Green Beret. Although I agree with Dr. F., I think Jessica's are real as well. It's just intuition. AS she is the best honey of the bunch (sorry Salma), I want to agree.
Your wish....
Fighting soldiers from the sky
Fearless men who jump and die
Men who mean just what they say
These brave men of the Green Beret
Really? Jessica Alba? I'm not complaining, mind you but I would vote for Rebecca Romijn.
Why grow up now?? We've made it this far, and are actually responsible citizens. There is no reason to kill what little buzz we have left. Our childish behavior is an outlet. I can assure you we are no less grown up than your brothers, father, or grandfathers.
Excuse me, but, we don't give a crap about that. I prefer Jessica over Rebecca, just personal preference. And Scarlett Johanssen is just too pale.
It's not the size of the wave but the motion of the ocean.
...at least that what I tell myself.
I have no idea what any of you are talking about.
I don't even know who Scarlett whats-her-name is.
this blog has really deteriorated in tone and content.
It's about time!
you like pee wee herman?
Hey there everybody! I was afraid that it was going to take me over a week to catch up on what has been going on in the blobbosphere, but it hasn't. Apparently all I missed was some talk about body parts, a PG13 rated section on racial and sexual epithets, more body parts, a family spat, and more body parts. What is going on around here? What happened to the rapacious appetite for acerbic and sardonic character assassination wit and whim that was the founding of this blob?! This level of banality can be found anywhere in society. Have we been reduced to Οι μάζες?!
Yes, it is truly wonderful to have you back among us monseigneur.
You are right that we have shamefully loosened our grip of terror on Expat a bit, but, fear not your words have re-inspired my commitment to quality spoofing.
On to tar and feather...
Good afternoon Your Eminence.
Like lost sheep we have indeed strayed. Let's hope we can return to our pastime of skewering the Prince of Jerez.
Glad to see you back on the air, Don Miguel. I had thought we had lost you. The intellectual level of this blob has fallen off the charts since you went away. Onward and upward!
Don Miguel, I apologize for the puerile behavior of my fellow bloggers! I TRIED and TRIED, but to no avail to save them(except Dr. F.-he is the model of composure) from their baser passions but I was not equal to the challenge. Mea Culpa. It will be good to have some help in my endeavor. I felt a bit like St. George without his mount facing the dragon of banality.
Oh, shut it jo, jo, stop trying to suck up to the clergy! You were one of the purveyors, fess up.
It is true, Don Miguel, while we may have followed Expat into this morass of immorality, a virtual den of sinners, I have tried my best to help jo jo keep this blog a family friendly environment worthy of clergy commentary. jo jo, and mike have both displayed exemplary behavior throughout our fall.
My conscious is clear. I can be jugded by the written record.
I'm thinking there will be personalized T-shirts aplenty when the pig roast rolls around.
We should make up a special one for each of us, and one for expat which we'll put on the pig!
I believe the pig will only wear Prada
Fussy pig.
we could all wear tshirts with out blog names on them so we can easily identify each other
[said with JAZZ HANDS]
There's a lady who's sure,
all that glitters is gold...
Desdemon, Desdemon, Desdemon. Has anyone seen a lost hankerchief? This is where Iago fits, isn't it. Or is there Moor in Venice?
The Carthaginians defending the city were attacked by three Roman legions. The Carthaginians were proud and brave but they couldn't hold. They were massacred. Arab women stripped them of their tunics and their swords and lances. The soldiers lay naked in the sun.
Two thousand years ago.
I was there.
Patton! Patton! Great Movie, Great General, Great American!
Damned fine American. And he read the bible every damned day!
Good call Spilly, good call.
I was not amused.
I'm sorry Dr. F. but i think that the rest of us were.
