Ughhh

  Foul Mouths and Forked Tongues 

will say otherwise... 

But *I* say these were actually GOOD: 

The cast nailed it 

The script was witty - cohesively setting up the series 

And the special effects were decent  - for a farce 

 

1984

 So... We're hearing that Patty & Gal 

didn't do so well in their redux...? 

*WW84* isn't all that it 

could have been/promised to be? 

Maybe it is due to it 

having only ONE song from 1984 

in its entire soundtrack - and it is this: 

 

WOW. 

That was... underwhelming! 

(In spite of the daring bits there, 

for its day and prudish age; 

such as the protruding ones 

seen in this shot, screenshot 

for your convenience 

(since fickle YouTube might 

take it down any second now!)

 

...boobies? (Even if only side boob shots) in a MUSIC VIDEO from the Eighties?!? 

And all staged in the midst of some kind of sado-maso lesbo scene...?!? 

How did this get past the censors, back then? 

How did it get uploaded to YT... NOW? 

#ButThatIsAnotherStory

No, really... 

PATTY should have gone 

WITH THIS SONG INSTEAD: 

It tells the same basic tale as her film 

(heck - even features a lookalike 

of Chris Whatsisname; Steeeeve!!!) 

it's from the repertoire of a far more 

legendary band (the Moody Blues) 

and it represents the spirit of the 80s 

far better... IMHLO 

(In My Humble Luminous Opinion!) 

WHO CARES IF IT CAME OUT 

EXACTLY IN 1984 OR NOT!? 

What's more important here: 

historical accuracy in a fictitious work 

or artistic integrity and LOGIC!? 

Never mind - yeah...!

AND ANOTHER SONG THAT 

SHOULD HAVE BEEN USED... 

...yeah, okay - make it the original version!

... for BOTH "Diana Prince" 

and "Barbara Minerva" need an answer 

to that most anguishing question!  

FAST!!!

... and Steve... and Patty too! 

I mean... what was that... 

NO EURYTHMICS?!? 

Marvelous Copycats #6586768594030227394

This... 

doesn't even deserve an answer!

Are. You. READY?

I AM SO *NOT* SUPPLYING AN ANSWER
TO THIS ONE - 
AS THE ANSWER SHOULD BE OBVIOUS...
AND VERY MUCH SO! 

#LWO 

Languish Over This Now...

Harold Camping - he thought he knew...

WHEN IS THE WORLD 

GOING TO END?!? 

... IT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE OCCURRED 

THIS PAST FEBRUARY... THE 15TH... 

3 PM, E.S.T. - SHARP! 

OKAY - MAYBE IN OCTOBER THEN... 

Where Have All The Good Times Gone...?

Now... ALL of these artists 

appear to be languishing about 

where their good days have gone to - 

where in blue blazes have gone 

the best times of their lives?!? 

SERIOUSLY? 

What they're really wondering about 

is how to turn a little profit 

(an LP!) 

while feigning to verse nostalgic 

*striking that sensible chord* 

in most everyone out there... 

$triking it good - that is! 

However, in the remote chance 

that they are sincere in their 

languishing for the past here, 

the answer is clear: 

your 'good times' folks 

they're most likely 

GONE - FOR GOOD! 

Michèle Courchesne fait encore des siennes... Qu'à cela ne tienne - j'en fais aussi des miennes!

Lutter contre la violence au hockey (28/03/08)


Michèle Courchesne s’en mêle (25/03/08)


Let us languish over this one, folks:
can violence truly be extirpated from an intrinsically violent sport, usually coached and administered by frustrated little tyrants who find in the exercise their only foray to let out the anguish - and we do mean aaaaaaall of the anguish...?

Can violence be banned from a sport where it is inculcated into young impressionable minds that the law of the jungle rules - even on ice?

Can violence be stripped from a neanderthal tradition?!?

That is the challenge the lady of Laval set before herself - as if she had not enough causes and concerns to take care of during the course of her many functions on a daily basis...!

Yes, we are talking about the lady politician that speaks French as it is MEANT to be spoken: Michèle Courchesne - a fave (I voted for her!)

Triple Threat Courchesne - aka la Belle Michèle - is at it yet again!
She never rests, one could imagine... How could she? She does have three very much visible fields of social impact to govern - all with the lazy blessing of her Prime Minister, Jean Charest, who's only too happy to delegate...
But that is another story...

She calls for strong dissuasive measures for anyone -coaches, players, ah, groupies and roadies- who engages in violence "in the arena, out of the arena, in the rink, out of the rink, on the ice, off the ice, during a sporting activity, around a sporting activity..." (YOU GET THE IDEA...!!!)
No more challenging the entire visiting team's bench if you lost 10-1, Jonathan Roy! You want a punching bag? Find one in daddy-o's basement! He must still have a bunch of them left, signed by Mario Tremblay and Ronald Corey...

It is ironic though that it comes to this; as la belle Michèle's own son, Jean-Michel (wow - the name rhymes with mommy's!) could have been a teammate of Violent Jonathan Roy, coached by Virulent Patrick Roy and beaten up by the rest of the QMJHL players (everybody hates the Roys!) since Jean-Michel did play hockey at that level, and he did so for the very same team that caused this entire uproar against unnecessary roughness on the ice with their latest outrageous Hanson Brothers-like antics: the Quebec Remparts! (Okay - the team's name is atrocious in English! Historically-sound (although these remparts alluded to here were never that high nor half as impenetrable as their European inspirations...!) but that's not enough to make it a good hockey team's moniker! Not even close! But I am digressing - again.)

It surprises me not that this dame is against barbaric, degrading, senseless acts of violence - again, it only surprises me that she found the time to tackle that "dossier" too!

Truth be told, La Belle Courchesne routinely manages to find the time to get busy with her TWO OTHER "portefeuilles" - as she is also the MINISTRE DES LOISIRS and MINISTRE DE L'ÉDUCATION (now that is important: education! The elegant dame did not get to cumulate the functions in a minority government short on resources without getting top-notch education to go with her natural-born elegance - you know!)

She made such grand plans for daycare centers all over her province - GRANDIOSE, I should say, just so recently (even Jean Charest was present for the announcement, in Michèle Courchesne's own circonscription too!)

And then she took care of the greedy curators and inane administrators of the poor men's Harvards - Quebec universities, of course! Those bozos will no longer be allowed to sneak in extra fees and increases here and there, on the poor unsuspecting dullard of a clueless Quebecker student! As she puts it herself in the report linked below, "it is inadmissible for these institutions to make their customers pay extra in order to palliate to what the institutions feel is a lack in the financing of their operations. As a customer, one cannot oblige that attitude."
I paraphrased while translating, yes! ;)
Don't sue me, Michèle!
(After all, your favorite journalists routinely misquote you, them too!)



Fini les excès dans les universités (15/02/08)

Ahh - a woman like this sure GETS THINGS DONE!
Just like whatshername on SNL... ah yes, Tina Fey!
And her acolyte from Boston there... Amy Poehler!
And, I suppose, the one they both endorsed so, ah, enthusiastically, recently enough- Hillary Rodham Clinton! (I'm sure Geraldine Ferraro wasn't included by automatism either...)
But let's not go THERE right now...

Michèle is really, rrrrrrreally hard to find, online 

-she certainly isn't found on YouTube, that's for sure- 

as we make do with other Courchesnes - 

and another Mad Michèle - Richard! 

But here are some snap shots 

(found online - no profit sought here!) 

of the one, the only... Michèle! 

Michèle Courchesne 

has been taking care of various ill relatives 

all throughout her political career 

- where she often has to wear many hats 

and take responsibility in many situations 

where the government has to legislate quickly. 

That she found the time to do all this and also 

interfere in this violence in hockey case 

is sheer magnificence. 

(She has, since the 1990s, taken care 

successively of her father, step-mother, 

mother, aunt and, finally, of her husband 

completely changed from Alzheimer's disease 

since 2002...  Without missing a beat 

throughout all the crises the Liberal 

government has faced on and on... 

UPDATE: all this is related in this article 

of Le Devoir...) 

SIMPLY ADMIRABLE. 

Vous êtes belle, 

Michèle 

Ou Sont Les Femmes?

Pathetic Patrick asked it, first (?) 

OÛ SONT LES FEMMES 

(WHERE ARE THE WOMEN TO BE FOUND AT...?) 

...well...

They're here, they're there... 

They're everywhere! 

... dude! 

Et les voici...

And here they are... 

Yeah - watch out, PAT - 

some of them are packing 

a hell of a lot of ammo...! 

He's really clueless, that poor Pat - eh?
