Yurkos song of the day: Where The Streets Have No Name- by U2

"Yeah, well, don't count your weasels before they pop, dink!"

Another one of my favourites from U2, back in there pre-lets go and make political comments on everything cause were musicicans days (also known as the mid 80's to stick to the theme). Amusing quote as well, from you guessed it the Tick. But yeah enough about that.

Hmmm.. Went to the Stampede yesterday which turned out to be somewaht a source of amusement. Did more rides than normal, all of which turned out to be good fun. Well the one exception would be the zipper, bloody lap bar pressed into my groin every time the damn thing flipped, that was not so much fun. Did enjoy the drop of fear or what have you, and going through/making fun of the haunted houses was rather amusing as well. All in all the rides were a good way to spend time, although once is more than enough for me. It did allow for two very funny instances though, first one happening when we stopped for food at the Big 4 building. Well there is this cafeteria ish thing in the basement and one of the places sells fish and chips. Hmm of course this was definetly something you had to be there for but they ran out of Tartar sauce and there was this one guy who looked like he was going to have a heart attack or something and yelled "There out of Tartar Sauce!" followed by asking everyone around "Whens the Tartar Sauce coming??!!" Was very very funny, and of course he is dubbed the tartar sauce man till the end of time. Second thing was when we were playing the complete ripoff midway games, you know how there is the one where you throw the coloured dice and whicever colour it lands on wins a prize etc. Well after a few of the normal place 1 bet somewhere rounds and subsequent losses me and giacomo got fed up and i pulled out a 10, he pulled out a five and we carpeted the entire damn thing in loonies, this resulted in Giacomo winning another lizard to go with his collection (the first he got while we were milking the guess my weight games; everyone was always off by 30lbs on giacomo=instant prize) so yeah just to be fair he gave me 5 bucks so we were even cause neiter of us knew who put that dollar down, and with that 5 we ended up winning me my big yellow snake dealie. So yeah yay for prizes even if they end up costing a great deal. Not my greatest moment for sure but meh it was amusing.
Well other than that, nothing much is new other than i finally got my Govt cheque for the election work. Huzzah all around cause i like money. Hmm yeah well thats it for today.

Till Next Ramble

The Amazing, Boring Yurko
