Vacation!!

  • It may not be that terribel if  it is as sswords said:

    "Alright buddy, be quiet or I'm going to have to slap the 'wives' on you!" 

    bad would be

    "Alright buddy, be quiet or I'm going to have to slap the 'wife' on you!"

  • maybe sushila would like to try out the handcuffs... I will resist though and her womanly jedi mind powers wont work on me, no matter how SMRT she might be...

  • Remi,

    Aren't you form Canada? I am planning my vacation, are you by chance anywhere close to Montreal ? I need an advice on what could be really entertaining for 12 years old who is really interested in Rock Music (different types of Rock), anything punk culture and anything electro guitar

  • This reminds me of a quote from Barbershop 2: Back in Business.

    One of the customers at the barbershop is talking big and in walks his wife/girlfriend. She tells him not to come home because he was so dumb cheating on her that she was able to listen in on the phone call. It's how she tells him what will happen if he tries to come home: "I'm a get both my babies' daddies to jump yo' ***."

  • I am as well... Montreal's a good party lots of clubs... never thought of much rock / punk out that way... if you are looking for clubs and rock you should be looking closer to Toronto.

    NIN just came through town a few months ago, killer ticket prices from what I heard.

    TOOL is hiding their next concerts...

    I'll keep my eye out.

     

  • noel - I noticed the plural but decided to remain silent lest it was a freudian slip on sswords' part - he may be a closet bigamist for all we know (maybe originally from Utah...??)

    GPF...I'm lost...??? I prefer not to have anything to do with handcuffs if I can help it!

    Brian...your joke reminds me of a song I heard in Jamaica - it's about this young lad who falls in love - tells his father - and the dad says - "son, the girl is yo' sister but your mamma don' know' - this happens a couple more times till the young man goes crying to his mother and she tells him that he may marry whomsoever he chooses 'cos - "your pappa ain't your pappa but your pappa don' know"

    My wife is pure Scottish (parents came from Scotland in the 50's) and twice the national Scottish harp champion, it's also an Irish song/ballad. She sang it to me, it's quite good, but it was a girl who wanted to marry Johnny etc.

    Any info on who the artist/song was?

  • LOL...been out of the loop as I had a 4 hour staff meeting. 

    "Wives" wasn't so much freudian as it was trying to duplicate the plural of handcuffs if you used that word in the same sentence.  But I do see the humor in it now.

    And one wife is quite enough, thank you very much.  So all of you Mormons can quit IM'ing me now.  

    Everyone enjoy your weekend/vacation.

  • Wayne - Jamaica is a former British colony - so it's more than likely it originated from G.B - the song was sung by a tour bus guide so have no idea on artist etc..at any rate, it was meant to illustrate the wanderlust of the Jamaican men as apparently most of them have many wives (not necessarily official) as well as many children they don't even know they fathered....

    ps:Hope I haven't set off an exodus to Jamaica...

  • onward noble 600

  • The wife, the handcuffs or both

  • The only fun thing I know is "la ronde" which is a great amusement park. They present a worldwide fireworks competition twice a week which are reallllllly good. Other than that I can't really help you.

  • I actually brought the 'esposa' thing up with my wife this weekend (sushila, names were witheld to protect the guilty  ) and she told me that the root word is basically to bind or tie down.  Therefore you have 'esposa' for wife and 'espose' for handcuffs.

    It's sort of funny because I always thought of 'esposa' as being the latin derivation of the word 'spouse'.  And spouse comes from 'betrothed' which literally means 'be truthful' so I'm left wondering where the 'tie or bind' thing came in.

  • sswords -

    You "tie the knot".... & then you're bound, united, whatever....

    note - I did not say "tied down" etc.. before some gender divisive person in the name of Mike throws that in...

    thx. for protecting the guilty....not that I'm admitting to anything but knowledge of the ambiguity..

    Yelena - have a great vacation.....all this talk of holidays and I can't wait for mine to begin....except I have to wait until the end of August
