public radio

i've recently started listening to our public broadcaster, CBC RADIO, on the net. i don't know what took me so long but as they say, better late than never. it's quite cool, when you hear a song you like, just add it to a play list or mark it as a favorite. best of all there are virtually no commercials, just a short one when changing channels. here are 2 of the songs that i probably would have never heard if not for the good old cbc.

this one is real cool if you like animals and are concerned about their survival:

and for those trying to quit smoking.

it's raining like old rat shit here and i still love you sons of bitches.

The Tutor tells me CBC Radio has been shite since Peter Gzowski carked it back in '02.

Daemon tobacco got him.

Did you know that CBC Radio did not even inform its listeners of the unfolding events in New York City until about one hour after the first plane hit - and even then, it was a 10 second blurb! AND CBC Radio did not stop all programming to concentrate on the events until three and one half hours after it all began?

Then?
During the SARS Crisis in 2003, that is all listeners got - 24 hours a fucking day of it! Non-stop SARS shite even when there was absolutely nothing new to report - which was normally the case.

The Tutor fucking hates the CBC.

Well, it looks alright to me.
Hey, at least they didn't announce that building 7 fell down 20 minutes before it really did, oops!

Do you have CBC TV as well. It's great to have a channel that doesn't have commercials. Glad to hear it's raining and not snowing - that must mean spring has arrived in Canada.

billy pilgrim said...

aquarian - i can live without don cherry and hockey night in canada but i do like their news.

tex - i enjoy being able to see the future most of the time.

gb - our cbc tv has lots of commercials and american programming. our current right leaning government likes to cut funding to the left leaning cbc.

I thought we were discussing CBC Radio, not CBC Television. Then again, the grenoiulle in La Belle Province call the CBC, "Société Radio-Canada", so who the fuck knows what we are talking about.
All I know is that I call BBC a cunt.

But the BBC World Service is okay by me. I don't listen to and/or watch anything else when I an abroad in Third World shite holes.

Leslie said...

Listen, can one of you folks help out P-Frump and direct him to an Asian massage parlor or something?

Mr. Shife said...

I really like the first one. Thanks BP. Enjoy the new tunes, and hey that soccer team of yours in Vancouver is doing OK. They might be pretty tough this year.

Leslie said...

And how jealous are you bitches that I have yet another post devoted to me!

BBC!
Frump!
Frump 2.0!
Carrie!
Raymi!

I AM THE KING!

Also, did you all notice how much he resembles a cleaner, hairier, better-dressed and manicured, less pickled version of BBC in that pipe-fetish blog-friendly self-portrait he posted?

Separated at birth?

Leslie said...

Not to mention, both of them need to get laid!

And BBC, you little punkass ratface tattletale jerkwad....did it ever occur to you if we're talking shit about the man in a public forum it's not because we're trying to hide it?

Lighten up, asshole, and stop feasting on professorial dingleberries!

Anonymous said...

He mentions me in passing.
That's pretty good I think.
He mentions you too, pilgrim, but like me, only in passing.

I had a dingleberry pie once. It wasn't professorial though, more baked I'd say.

Leslie said...

Baked like Pilgrim?

Anonymous said...

No baked like Herr Professor. He's obviously having an 'Adverse Event' with his new SSRI meds.

billy pilgrim said...

thanks mr shife, as long as our whitecaps can pummel those bums from toronto, we're happy.


leslie - i couldn't help myself and checked out frump's post. bbc is no longer the king around here, kings don't act like weasels and tell tales.

it would seem that frump is talking about our teasing him without dropping by himself to take a look which means one of two things to me.

a. he's incredibly insecure.

b. he's incredibly arrogant.

i'm pretty sure his sock puppet, the former king, will soon let him know that i'm calling him either insecure or arrogant.

the first song might be a little relevant to frump. he'd be happy to slay anything feather, fin or fur and put the trophy on his wall.

so it goes.

Leslie said...

The king is dead?

Can I get a WOOT WOOT?

billy pilgrim said...

yeah, i'm pretty disappointed in the former king.

on the other hand, i'm probably acting like an asshole ragging on frump but killing a deer just to stick its head on the wall rubs me the wrong way.

Demeur said...

I think they're all controlled by the tories and republicans. You just know Manswich (sic) would love to give Harper head.

billy pilgrim said...

i'd love to see harper without his toupee. he and manswich together is a frightening thought.

Leslie said...

P-Frump Gets His Groove On!

(Warning: sobbing involved)

billy pilgrim said...

now i see the connection between frump and the old snitch.

it would be a challenge but i still think the rosewater foundation could set him straight.

BBC said...

I could respond to the asshole and peon bitches and this bullshit but that would be self-defeating and the kings learn to not do that.

Mr. Shife said...

Hi BP.

billy pilgrim said...

there's more honor in being an asshole than being a snitch.

you're no longer the king around here, you're the snitch. (until you apologize)

Leslie said...

I'm not sure "hey asshole" counts as a blog mention, Pilgrim. I'm mulling it over. While the BMW mention certainly points to you, BBC seems to have stopped just short of really calling you out so that people outside of this wank circle could identify you.

billy pilgrim said...

in the spirit of pope francis i have the love of jesus in my heart and i forgive the snitch.

i'm not ragging on the professor. i'm ragging on some polish shape shifter whilst i wait for an apology from the snitch; bbc.

was my use of a semi-colon correct?

Anonymous said...

It may be useful to remember that, for the most part, you should use a semicolon only where you could also use a period.

I'd have used a colon there.

thanks for the excellent tip.

i understand it can probably remember it.

Well the little snitchbitch BBC must've ratted me out for posting the link to P-Frump's erotica because that most awesome post has now been removed!

If you 'snitch'on a known Income Tax evader to the Canada Revenue Agency, you get a reward of up to 30% of the total tax liability the CRA recovers.

Could be very lucrative you know.

Damn...I feel like that second song offering could be my theme song...! Sorry I haven't been around much - work, health, and other crises...so it goes. Plus, I have it on good authority that I might do well to use any extra time I have to watch John from Cincinnati...or so says the Pilgrim. Glad to hear you're dense, BP, and thanks for the entertainment...

That was for Leslie, for those not 'in-the-loop' as they say.

It was postponed until early April. My lawyer demanded discovery. That's when I have to make an appearance.

Now stay tuned y'all. I have a l'il treat coming up for the Big Holers.

Why would your lawyer do that?
It's a fucking simple speeding ticket.
Your initial excuse should have been used by you in person on Wednesday, last.
By the time this is all over, you'll be too old to drive anyway so the effect on your insurance will be moot.

You'll get no more funnies from me any more until I get some ego-massaging pats-on-the-back!

Leslie said...

Ok, so I have a question. Knowing BBC's dislike of fake internet personae and his insistence that everyone online is a fraud and a liar with sock puppets and a fabricated life (except, of course, his ever-shrinking blog circle of squirrel munchers, single-malt scotch connoisseurs, and weepy professors), I'd like to know exactly how he intends to frolic in the Big Hole with a Polish politician who's been dead since 2008?

Moderate this, fuckers!

billy pilgrim said...

doc - welcome back to the monkey house. entertainment r us.
see god doc.
tomorrow is another day.
i got my eye on you.

leslie - if i've got this right, some guy in poland died and his essence was transferred to a guy sleeping in a bus station who gained the polish scholar's credentials and quietly began a life as small town professor. but the polish guy's sexual urges can't be satisfied so he begins a raunchy blog and considers gender reassignment.

along the way he picks up a faithful sidekick: the snitch.

Leslie said...

Tell The Snitch to man up and address this most puzzling development!

I don't care if P-Frump fancies himself a dead Pole, but, regarding sock puppets, his very GOOD and very STRONG internet friend needs to take his own foolish foot out of his own very big sinkhole of a mouth.

Leslie said...

And...AND...I wonder how old Geremek (may God rest his soul)would feel about being featured on a gay pipe smoker's fetish blog, thanks to P-Frump's antics.

And, without knowing if the real Frump has the same devilish glint in his eye or that peppered beard just begging for a soaking, has BBC's fantasy of dressing him up in a fishing vest been at all diminished?

And what about Doc Teri? Not really knowing who or what she's actually meeting, will she be taking a firearm to Big Hole?

So many questions....

Anonymous said...

Personally, I think Herr Professor is a genius.
He has fooled all of us.
His dead-pan style - like Pat Paulsen - is exquisite.
I tip my lovely Leslie-esque 'Fascinator' to him!
He might be even better than yours truly at, well, doing funny stuff.

Leslie said...

He might even be you!

You hear that, BBC? Countdown to Big Hole aka Psychopath Sock Puppet Summit!

Leslie said...

Um....Pat Paulsen?

How does a 30-something Burmese lass know about some ancient comic that my Yankee ass had to Google? Your tutor sure is thorough!

Get yer Masshole ass to Google that.

Leslie said...

No need. My masshole wears a lovely perfume named after that fine gentleman. You may get some yourself at Hove on Chartres Street in the French Quarter.

Anonymous said...

Your Masshole(1) needs perfume.

As far as venturing to purchase un-needed "Stank Camo" at Hove on Chartres Street in the French Quarter, I decline.
Sinkholes and assaults leaving me "disfigured" are a too daunting.



(1) Query?
Why did you use the word "Masshole" as a noun instead of as an adjective modifying the noun "ass"?

Fidel Castro said...

The Mother of all Sinkholes is some 80 miles away from the FQ, and it turns out that little misunderstanding had nothing to do with white people, so no need to worry about that either.

If you time it right I can set you up with my cute, melodic roofer who will be building me a treehouse in order to pay off some unexpected legal expenses. He loves rice!

Smelly, I think you would look nice in a pale blue or pink tie. Or a fishing vest.

Smelly exuded,

There is a reason why there are no 'old' roofers.

Leslie said...

Well, it appears BBC and P-Frump have both taken the high road to Chickenshit Heaven.

I must venture out now to find some real fun and a cheeseburger.

Leslie said...

That's right, I'm going to Monkeyville!

billy pilgrim said...

i think bbc owes frump an apology.

had the snitch not brought his traveling road show to frump's blog, frump wouldn't have been outed as the polish imposter and had his raunchy thoughts exposed.

but i want my apology before frump gets his.

The deleted one was me. I messed up my hyperlink and it pointed to your blog photo collection of 1970s bush.

I DID NOT GET A CHEESEBURGER!

I'm concerned about Konrad's grasp of the linear concept of time in number 3.
His arithmetic skills are excellent in number 2 though.

Leslie said...

You know, I think I will chronicle my days like the family family. That could be really amusing and a much better way to spend my time than terrorizing nice blogger folks.

Innit?

Leslie said...

I'm concerned with why he called it
"one act of intercourse" in earlier posts!

Leslie said...

That should read "...like the Frump family.."

Can you tell I had bellinis sans cheeseburger?
