What cheered you up today?

[Matt308]

Raining like hell here. Bet floods are on the way. Glad I don't live by a river.

 

[cheddar cheese]

Good for you. Are you self taught or did you take lessons? Piano lessons can be exhorbitantly expensive here.

Bit of both. I have half an hour a week as sort of guidance and I just do my own thing at home and learn stuff all the time...They are pretty expensive, but im not paying

 

[Henk]

CC you have the life easy mate.

Having the car for myself the whole weekend.

 

[Matt308]

Henk! Where ya been my friend? Missed you the last couple of days in the forum.

Our unit had a Change of Command ceremony today. God, I wonder what it feels like to retire after 26 years of service... when you've been a Marine longer than you have NOT been a Marine.

 

[Matt308]

If I imagine from my knothole, like a disgarded rag. Hang in there mkloby.

Semper Fi

While searching YouTube to get videos to prove to a Frenchman that De Gaulle is an @sshole, I fell on two (English subtitled) RBO video clips. You won't understand several of the jokes intended there (due to Québec culture), but you'll get most of them.

[Crippen]

[Matt308]

Very nice, Crippen. Is she dabbling or really serious?

 

[Erich]

rippin it up !

 

[Matt308]

Good for you Erich. You are inspiring.

 

[mkloby]

Yeah how'd it go? what did she get to fly?

 

[Maestro]

I just didn't get the videos...

Hmmm... I thought it was obvious. It must be because you're not Canadian. Because each of the three videos are about historical events of Canada. For exemple, "The 4th Reich" is about the bill 101 (that FBJ perfectly knows about )

The two first videos are about more "important" events. Like (in the first video) the arrival of the first French colonists, the "Christianization" of natives, the Acadian Deportation, the American Independence War, the 1837-1838 Rebellion or (in the second video) the October Crisis, the 1980 Referendum on Québec's independence, De Gaulle's speech at Montréal who made a God out of him for Nationalists and an @sshole for Federalists.

RBO was an "officially" Nationalist humour group, but they didn't miss a chance to knock on any side.
