Lackbone my little sweet. We all wish you the best. Sincerely.
You bring such wit, intelligence and insight to Glumbert that it behoves me to hold my arms wide open in a gesture of welcome embrace. As you run towards me giggling and loving the attention you must be prepared for my foot to firmly bury itself in your trachea.
In a friendly way of course.
Many keep asking whether you have issues with your own sexuality.You've never answered. This is very telling.
Fellow Glummies - we now own our unique and (short bus) special little Glumbert Gimp; Lack Bone
Now put the latex back hood on and get back in your little cupboard wher you belong Gimpy there's a good buy...
All bullshitting aside here, I have some serious notes here for some Glumbert personnel; those of you (and you KNOW who you are) that love to spew pointless invective and hate.....well, you can just stop reading now, and skip to what you and your ilk do best: add nothing constructive. Here goes:
Canadaman:
Barbs and jousting aside, I'd say we've pretty well run the gauntlet as far as broadsides go. You've had your jabs; I've had mine. We'll take the banter on here for what it's worth, and move on. If we agree on an issue being discussed, swell. If not, we'll agree to disagree. If we can't do either one, we'll enage in a bit of sparring, and no harm done. I can't say I can understand your "past time", shall we say, but if that's what turns your crank, then that's fine by me (although personally, I staunchly believe that if I'm going to offer my chin to someones fist, or try to avail myself of THEIR jawbone, then it's going to be while I'm earning time-and-a-half MINIMUM--never on straight time, minimal renumeration OR for free; just my own opinion). Having said all of that, I am declaring a cease-fire on my end, and withdrawing all forces back to base; I will look forward to exchanging embassies in the near-future, in a renewed spirit of interaction with you. Deal?
Backbone:
I honestly don't know what drives you, Sir. I really don't. I don't know if you truly believe or feel what you write, or if your just doing it to stimulate or provoke a reaction to gain attention. I guess only YOU will know the answer to that. But I suppose that's the beauty of the Internet, isn't it? ALL of us, anyone, can say what the frig they feel, or even say they're King Frakkin' Arthur.....and there's no one to call them on it. So in the end, we're just left with what we see in front of us. In your case, I think you're at least smart enough to know that it ain't good. See, a while back, I wrote a post in a moment of frustration about hanging criminals upside-down, and gutting them in public; several posters cam on afterwards, and pointedly said, "C'mon, there's NO way YOU'D be capable of THAT." Guess what? They're quite correct. Much as I sometimes carry that 'hate' around for criminal shits, something in me will NOT let me do something like that to them (although it was nice to vent about it, though!). Mostly because I KNOW I'm better than them....and I will NOT be THEM. You, on the other hand, are a question mark. Give it time, and folks (Internet or not) eventually will be able to peg you just right, as to having a reasonable idea of who and what YOU are. Watch and see. It'll happen. I'll set my watch by it, by golly.
And why this attitude today?
I met an 86-year-old man yesterday. Billboat, Planettint, Canadaman, Sven66 might have heard of him (not sure about Riza, because she lives outside of Ontario). His name is Lincoln Alexander, former Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario (pronounced LEFT-tenant, and not LOO-tenant, as he mildly chided me about---can't believe ME of all frakkin' people made that faux pas!). Anyways, for all of our Yank friends here, all ten Canadian provinces have a Lieutenant-Governor, who acts as Queen Elizabeth II's representative in the province; federally, the Governor-General is the Queens rep in Ottawa.
Well, this man I met who held that post, I heard speak yesterday. At times he used very blunt language, and spoke as a 'real' person, not as a high-handed muckety-muck. He not only spoke of his experiences of briefly living in New York Citys Harlem district as a kid, or his war-time service in the R.C.A.F., his call to the bar after becoming a lawyer, his serving as a federal cabinet minister in the Joe Clark government, his later appointment to L-G by Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, or even being the first black man to hold that position; he also spoke about 'hate', and what it means to live with it, dish it out, as well as being the recipient of it.
Dammit....this guy could have been that "Grandpa" that always sits you down, and can put this nutty fuckin' world into a decent perspective for you. I was......humbled.....not only by listening to him speak....but also by the few brief minutes I had the piviledge to chat with him.
And when they wheeled that 86-year-old man out in his wheelchair, I realized suddenly, that when he passes on.....
I honestly believe that general human decency will lose a little bit more, as a result of it.
And THAT, my faceless friends, is the simpe (yet oft-overlooked) lesson THIS Glumbertian entity....
Our elderly are a geart under used resource, so can I expect to be treated better now?
On that note, something my grand dad told me, "never show your shit, stay in control, you will always come out better in the end."
Your on brother.......
By the by, my dad before his death was a friend of Lincoln,we all met at the Stratford Festival one weekend 5 years ago .This was one of the times I asked more questions than gave answers, Timothy Findley was there to with his partner.Great wine, food, and conversation .
Regarding my particular exercise, you feel alive during the 9 minutes ,then numb then pain .The best way to control the pain is with your mind .Incidentally my wife and mother agree with you.
A bouquet to you a bright guy. Lets trash each other without malice
Man, i didn%u2019t know anything about that.. Being from the states we hardly talk about political figures in Canada.. I had to do a little research on the guy and he is a trailblazer to say the least.. Canuck and canadaman you 2 are pretty lucky to have spoken with a man who means alot to Canada and the world.. i wish i could meet him someday.. I'm coming to Toronto for the caribana this year and i will try my best to speak or meet this guy.
Here a link for the people who are interested in learning about the man ..
Wow! Glumbert's got really odd since I was last on here.
Seems there's a blight of total psychos, aliases and weirdos. I've been in Asia travelling and have had better things to do than log in. Much better!
Is there any point in being back? I don't know. I have a few tales to share, but at the moment it looks like nobody would be interested.
Here's one though before I retire again.
I was in Istanbul when a little guy (Irish) came up to me and asked for directions. I told him how to get where he wanted to go and to thank me he bought me a drink in a cafe. As I was saying goodbye, he stole my fucking wallet.
an irish pickpocket in Instanbul, there's got to be a bigger store to that. Glad your back and safe. Yes there are some intresting comments flying around. I'll miss it.
Alright.
I spent two days in Odessa - Ukraine not Texas! It is possibly one of the most interesting cities in the world, but the people have tremendous personal hygiene problems. Took a tour of the Opera House on my own, and a group of Koreans came running past me screaming something that sounded awful, but who the fuck speaks Korean? The whole language sounds awful. Anyway, it turns out the reason they were fleeing was three Ukrainians who were cleaning the seats in the orchestra stalls. When I got within two metres of them, the guff nearly knocked me out. I started to gag, but reckoned that was a bit rude, so I pretended I was having a fit. That made things worse, because they tried to help me. Fuck - I had to punch one of the stinkers to get away.
Now, you might think that was a one-off, but believe me, when you've been to Odessa you've smelled the smell of hell itself. If you go on a tram, makesure you've go some garlic to stuff up your nose.
I really don't know why this is. The diet's no big deal there. I even began to wonder if it had something to do with Chernobyl. Were they rotting away from the inside? But I've been to Kiev and in villages less than 100 k from Chernobyl, and the people smell quite normal. There's a few deormities, but no more than you see in Dublin.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thoughtful reply Mr q.
Funnily enough, most of them aren't "commies" as you put it. Think we're going to have to think of something else. BTW, where the fuck do you get a handle like that, and how do you pronounce it?
They did in the one I stayed in - Best Eastern Mozart right opposite the Opera House. Not as fancy as it sounds, but pretty clean. Good place after three days walking behind a donkey's ass! If you want down and dirty, the Odessa Hotel is $40 a night, but couldn't vouch for the soap.
BTW, If you like sailors, Odessa's great, but not as good as Sevastopol, where they're everywhere, Ukrainians and Russians who fight like fuck with each other and their whores all the time. (I don't like sailors)
I see the plague of aliases is back. Some people need to get out a bit more.
BTW, last time we spoke you asked about Aachen. Answer - Yep! It is as bad as I said, but don't let that put you off. I'm a pretty hard act to please, and the Achen volk probably love it. Just as well we've got a sense of humor, or we'd never go any fucking place!
I met a guy from Saskatchewan in Berlin once, and he was the coolest cat ever. He could light his farts with an oven clicker and drink six liters of beer standiing on his head. Wha a guy! He got thrown out of a club for shitting in a girl's purse. A real ambassador for the New World!
What language is that shitforbrains? I hope we meet up somewhere some day and you tell me you used to fuck people off for fun on a site called Glumbert calling yourself qlanettint. Maybe a road in the middle of nowhere where nobody comes by for a week or so.
That'd be real sweet.
Hi Garbage. Don't waste your breath on this useless alias (of the a decent person, Planettint). Just "inappropriate" his ass like we do to any copycats.
Well thanx for that billboat and qlanettint if we are a such a bunch of faggots why r u trying to hang with us?????????????????????
Perhaps qlanettint is curious lol
Welcome garbage im enjoying your stories but i do have a question for u garbage
R U this guy?
http://www.glumbert.com/media/whereismatt
Good video. Great tune. Not me, but wish it was!
Looks like the kind of guy you'd lke to meet on the road, unlike someone I won't mention again....
Matt must fly a lot, unless he's spent a long time travelling, which he might well have done. I'm heading for South America in the Spring. Hoping to get up the Amazon to Manaus (the theatre's supposed to be amazing). Well worn tourist trail now really, but still worth doing probably.
Ultimate plan is to get across to Peru and then down the Andes road to Cape Horn. We'll see. Furthest I'm going at the moment is to take the milk in!
Bored to death....
To be honest Bill it's Punta Arenas in Tierra del Fuego I'm hoping to reach. Then possibly a passage to the Falklands. Probably won't see the Horn itself. I heard about a guy and is daughter kayaking round the Horn once. Now THAT's what I call scary!
Yes Bill. Great read. And the Voyage of the Spray, his other classic, is equally good.
I like the bit in Sailing Alone where he puts carpet tacks on the deck of his boat when he's anchored off Tierra del Fuego to alert him if Indians come on board. They do - squeal when their feet get hurt, and he shoots a few of the "savages". Not very politically correct, but c'est la vie!
Slocum is one of my heroes, despite the fact I don't know a Genoa from a bowsprit.
Well G, the fact you even know the words "genoa" and "bowsprit" put you well ahead of the average person. The passage you mention is one of my favorites as well.
