The Dill Pickle movement..

I thought that I would introduce to the world the newest slang that is now taking over. Especially in the GBA (Greater Brampton Area). Like the boat shoes that I introduced a few years ago the dill pickle movement is mad hot and will be spreading like wild fire. Here is a recap of how it came about; I was attending a conference and the pastor I was with said ‘what the dilly-o?’ You know from way back in the day. So I said what the dill pickles? and then he said ‘Dill pickles or no dill pickles?…. No dill pickles Howie.’ and then I said ’I think it sounds cooler singular as in dill pickle.’ and then he said ‘yeah lets try that “yo, son I aint seen you in a minute what the dill pickle son?’ then I said ‘let’s just use dill pickle for our greeting and when we say bye or just say it randomly, say it when your happy, or when your sad, or when your mad, or when your bad, or rad, or wearing plad pajamas, or if your name is chad.’ I think Dillpickle best works when you give someone a pound and say Dill pickle or pickles. The choice is yours. Use it as your ending to an email if you want like this…

Dill Pickle,

Mike.

Or use it when you answer the phone instead of hello say something like this ”dill pickle, this is Mike speaking how may I direct your call.” Or change your name to Dill Pickle. It doesn’t matter. In fact, I think our softball team will be called the dill pickles this summer.

In other news, why were the Raptor fans wearing red shirts in game one? I got to say, though that I think AI is still my official favorite player after watching him again tonight. Well, since no one besides Chris could correctly figure out who ‘the sherrif’ is Chris will be winning his fourth straight comment of the month. Dill pickles. Chris has himself a dynasty.

Well, until next time America….Dill Pickles Canada  (in this case I used dill pickles as good night, it’s as easy as that)

NBA Fever..

I see that some of you have started making your picks for the NBA so I think that I will join in on the fun. Unlike the NCAA tournament in which I made some risky picks, I think I will pick teams that are likely to win. First in the east: moving on to the second round will be Detroit, Miami, Cleveland, and of course the Raps. Which reminds me, the other day I was commenting on the fact that the last time the Raptors made the playoffs I was cheering hard against them because the sixers were my boys and now a few years later and the Raps are my new boys and guess who is still the enemy…Vince.  I just noticed the clock on my computer and it’s past midnight so I think I’m going to bed. HAPPY NEW DAY! I guess I can fit in my first round West picks before I go to bed. In the West I’m cheering for Ko-BE. Which reminds me, as mentioned above, the last time the Raps were in the playoffs they played against the Sixers who featured Raja Bell who I loved then and now I don’t like because of the way he guards the above mentioned Ko-BE. I write it like I say it. Ko-BE.  That year the sixers also featured ‘The Sheriff’ but thats for another time. Chris is probably the only one who knows who ‘the sheriff’ is. Am I right?  I’m also cheering hard for Denver, Houston, and Golden State but I know that only Houston will probably move on.. Well, America that’s all I got for tonight..Until next time.. Good night Canada.

‘Dappers’

It’s movie night at Me, myself, and Ashlee-Heather’s and the movie of the night just couldn’t quite keep my attention so I have made my way to the computer room to start a new segment entitled ‘Dappers’. This is where I give props or ‘Dappers’ out to a blog or blogs that have stood above the rest. It’s like the water carrier award given out at camp except I won’t be giving out a five dollar canteen card. Also, it’s different because I’m talkin ’bout blogs and not about counsellors or dishboys or laundry ladies or nature directors or fishing directors or CIT supervisors [well, I may be. In fact, I know a former CIT supervisor, actually the only CIT supervisor in history I believe, and he has a sweet blog goin on. If it wasn't for him there wouldn't be My, myself, and Ashlee-Heather. Click on the be to see Ian, also known as Ethan.] or waterfront directors or maitenance men named Luca who carved a G for Gator into the grass and painted a cabin porch and instead of painting around the light he decided to paint the whole thing, lightbulb included, Gator included. We talking ’bout blogs. Not practice. Blogs. Not playoffs. Playoffs? PLAYoffs? No, Blogs. ‘Dappers’ is a segment for talkin ’bout blogs. We talkin ’bout blogs. Man, I come in here and do every blog likes it’s my last and we talkin ’bout blogs. Does anyone get that I’m pretending to be Allen Iverson? And then what I did was I threw in a little of the Colts coach that one year, Jim Mora I think, who said “Playoffs? PlaYOffs?” Kyle does a pretty good immitation. Check out his post about Sam Mitchell and hopefully watch as his conversation with tuff turtles escalates. That could make for some good reading material. Please encourage them to keep the conversation going.  Want to see a nice video go over to Lew bones page, scroll down,  and see a dead beached whale get blown up and people think its funny at first and then they have to start running from the whale particles.  It’s rainin whales.  See, what had happened was the town didn’t know what to do with the whale and so they thought it would be the best solution to blow it up. They were sitting around one day and said let’s go down to the beach and see if we can find something to blow up. Well they did and I didn’t need to write all that cuz we talkin ’bout blogs. The blogs I’ve mentioned all are located on my blogroll for your convenience along with Jay’s and Tuffies so let’s move on to giving a ‘Dapper’ to a non-blogroll contestant.  The first non-blogroll ‘Dapper’ is given out to one by the name of Al R Hounsell. Say it slowly. Al….R…..Hounsell.  You may know him from his bash on America in the Cannon (Tyndale’s Campus mag), although we have forgiven him for that. Or you may know him from the famous three point competetion in which he fearlessly attempted a ’throw in the air bounce up and dunk’ for his last shot which someone mistook as a missed shot and stole the ball right when Al was about to bring down the backboard. Or you may have had the Christianity and Islam class with Al like I did.  If you don’t know him meet him at his blog. He is one of a kind class act and his blog is nice and you may laugh or you may be confused….I laughed… ’Dappers’ to Al R Hounsell.  Al if your reading this you never call anymore.  Well, America I think that’s all for now. Until next time.. Good night Canada.   

How to solve a rubik’s cube…

Yesterday and today I have spent my days off attempting to solve a rubik’s cube, with the hopes that solving it will lead to becoming a millionaire like buddy in Pursuit of Happyness. Well guess what Will Smith? I solved my rubik’s cube…Although I chose the hard way, here is the easiest way to solve the cube.

(Repeat aloud..i.e “One..Buy a rubik’s cube.”)
1.)Buy a rubik’s cube.
2.) Open the package.
3.) Do not, under any circumstances, touch the rubik’s cube.
4.) By not touching the rubik’s cube you have solved it because it comes solved.
5.) Golden rings.
6.) Pick up sticks.
7.) Eleven.
8.) Mile.
101.) Dalmations.

A commentary of Job 3:2 and..

My good friend, and yours, tuff turtles and I are about to begin writing a commentary on the book of Amos. Actually, the tuff one and I have been trying to team up for a book since the first day he slept over and took a shower in the sink and had his noisy cell phone alarm clock going off at 5 in the morning.  Every morning his alarm would go off and every morning the tuff one was in bed till noon. Here is a little taste of what we are capable of…

A COMMENTARY OF JOB 3:2

When reading the book of Job you will come across, or fly right by, Job 3:2 which reads “He said (NIV).” Although difficult to interpret in the NIV, the King James Version sums it up beautifully with “And Job spake and said.” This shows that there was something done by Job…He spake.  He didn’t just spake, he said something.

Ashlee-Heather has been working all day and I’ve had the day off. I was starting to get pretty board so I decided that I’d surprise her and cut my hair into a mohawk, or attempt to. She’s going to cut it tonight anyway so I thought I’d get a head start with a mohawk. When she comes home I’m going to have a lot of gold necklaces around my neck and I’ll be yelling ”I pitty da fool.”

Finally, while on the phone with my oldest brothren I told him that Ashlee-Heather and I were going to watch the movie Children of Men. He said it was supposed to be a scary movie and to let him know. Unfortunately the movie started and 3 minutes later I was fast asleep. I’m not sure if it was because I was tired or because the movie was moving too slow. Usually, when I fall asleep it is because of the movie, like Boring Identity when I fell asleep in the theatre (that’s not spelled wrong, Its French for theater. That’s my only explanation for why Canadians spell alot of words that end in er with an re. Maybe the blog should be Me, myself, and Ashlee-Heathre).  Anyway, Ashlee-Heathre actually said that the movie was good, Children of Men that is. ..Until next time America. …Goodnight Canada.

Announcement..

Christmas in March has come to an end. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday.  I thought Santa was really going to come but I’ll settle for the easter bunny. One time I remember leaving a note for the tooth ferry that said “Dear tooth ferry, instead of money this year I’ll take one of those power wheels.” Does the tooth ferry remember that? Thanks to everyone who made the short story a success. It is going to be published in next months War Cry. I’ve had a few critics of the short story so I thought I’d leave it up for a long time before writing a new post. I’m pretty sure I know who the editor is..He watches the Bachelor. But maybe not. But then again I had a hunch that it was Andrew at first.  I don’t think it’s him anymore though.

In yet other news, its been pretty busy around here lately. I was going to play my guitar on Sunday at church but then I chickened out..I only sing remixes and I don’t think the kids could keep up. I sang a remix to Ashlee-Heather today and I think she liked it. It’s to the tune of ‘I’m here to meet with you’ but I just spell Ashlee-Heather’s name. Like this, A-S-H-L- Double E..And then I usually throw a little bee-boxin [like drums with your mouth] in. And then I asked her to clap her hands with me. She wasn’t feelin’ it that much.  Well, I think that’s about all for now. Until next time America.. Good night Canada.

 Oh yeah and Florida won the championship last night. I think that puts me in first place in Chris’s pool. What do I get for winning? If only Holy Cross could have made it.
