oh man......

The old cap'n was in Kentucky this fall.

Whilst I was there I did some travellin' around.

One of the things I loves is the old southern classic "biscuits and gravy"

You can get B&G just about anywhere in the south. I personally find the B&G at the La Quinta to be the best.

Eat hearty mateys !!!

Pickles, pickles everywhere

Well, Christmas is over and the New Year is upon us. I have a little tip for folks out there.

Never try to flush a jar of pickles down the toilet. I don't mean bread and butter pickles, I mean the regular dills.

What happens is they bung up the toilet when you try to flush it. Then, you have to stick your hand in the biffy and fish the damn things out.

It doesn't end there, oh no. It turns out the pickles are still able to cause problems. Especially if your wife goes to the can at 2:00 am and the toilet overflows.

Sneaky Snake

Most People think that it was St. Patrick who drove the snakes from Ireland. Well they couldn't be more wrong. It was my great great great, etc. uncle Nikolai O'Berezowski.

This is the real story.

Years ago the people of Ireland were plagued by snakes. St. Patrick agreed to rid the island of snakes but when the time came to do the work he couldn't be found. He was drunked up in a bar somewhere.

The people of Ireland were becoming frantic. Then my great great great, etc. uncle Nicky said he would rid the island of snakes. He would take the snakes and settle in Canada but in return he wanted a pot of gold. The deal was struck.

Uncle Nicky took the snakes and settled in north eastern Saskatchewan. The Irish people gave a pot of gold to some vertically challenged people to carry across the ocean to Uncle Nicky. But as it turned out these guys took the gold and absconded with it. Even today these miscreants are running around Ireland hiding their ill gotten treasure.

Even though Uncle Nicky never received his payment he bore no hard feelings. He did not return the snakes.

Today the snakes still roam free around Pelly Saskatchewan and are a huge tourist attraction http://www.pelly.ca/thesnakepit.html .

As long as an O'Berezowski is alive the snakes will not be allowed to return to Ireland.
