T.R. - One Of My Ionview Friends

November 19, 2008 @ 17:23

My Ionview friends are those people I attended public school with back in the 1960's.

Ionview Public Schools is located in Scarborough at 90 Ionview Rd. Ionview Rd, runs north off Eglinton Ave. between Kennedy and Birchmount Rd, and it was the place of many fabulous childhood memories.

I graduated from grade eight in the spring of 1969, and while I sitting here in my Peterborough office writing this I'm looking at my class picture from that year.

The picture is a gift I received this very afternoon from a class mate who appears in the same picture.

Trebor Hosier and I went through our entire public school careers together and then graduated to the same high school, Winston Churchill, before I buggered off to Stephen Leacock for grade eleven.

Trebor, known as TR when we wre kids, now goes by Trevor because many years ago he got tired of the puzzled look on people's faces when he introduced himself with a "b" rather than a "v".

Anyway, Trebor/T.R./ Trebor who has a huge brain, got his masters in psychology back in the 80's and now he operates a private practice in Lindsay,

He's also a life long music fanatic and over the years has accumulated quite a bit of rock and roll paraphernalia, so much in fact, that he opened a museum in Omemee a couple of years ago.

I wrote about it last summer.

It's funny how things happen. Brian Ellis, the afternoon announcer at the Wolf, where I now work, contacted Trevor about the museum and in the course of the conversation mentioned that I was now the Program Director in Peterborough.

Trevor gave me a call, and today we hooked up for lunch at a restaurant on George St. in Peterborough.

It was fascinating couple hours as we caught up on old times and old friends and shared and reminisced about some wild things that happened at school. He was as whacked as I was.

T.R's museum is closed for the season, but it will re-open in the spring, and when it does make sure if you're in the area, you're listening to 101.5 the Wolf.

You could win free tickets to the Youngtown Rock and Roll Museum.

E-mail - The Ant And The Grasshopper

April 16, 2008 @ 11:29

Thanks to my buddy Mark Whitman for this.

*CLASSIC VERSION:*

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks he's a fool, and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.

Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The shivering grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.

THE END


*THE CANADIAN VERSION:*

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks he's a fool, and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. So far, so good, eh?

The shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others less fortunate, like him, are cold and starving.

The CBC shows up to provide live coverage of the shivering grasshopper, with cuts to a video of the ant in his comfortable warm home with a table laden with food.

Canadians are stunned that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so while others have plenty.

The NDP, the CAW and the Coalition Against Poverty demonstrate in front of the ant's house. The CBC, interrupting an Inuit cultural festival special from Nunavut with breaking news, broadcasts them singing 'We Shall Overcome.'

Jack Layton rants in an interview with Mike Duffy that the ant has gotten rich off the backs of grasshoppers, and calls for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his 'fair share'.

In response to polls, the Liberal Government drafts the Economic Equity and Grasshopper Anti-Discrimination Act, retroactive to the beginning of the summer.

The ant's taxes are reassessed, and he is also fined for failing to hire grasshoppers as helpers.

Without enough money to pay both the fine and his newly imposed retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the government.

The ant moves to the US, and starts a successful agribiz company.

The CBC later shows the now fat grasshopper finishing up the last of the ant's food, though spring is still months away, while the government house he is in, which just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around him because he hasn't bothered to maintain it.

Inadequate government funding is blamed, Bob Rae is appointed to head a commission of enquiry that will cost $10,000,000.

The grasshopper is soon dead of a drug overdose, the Toronto Star blame it on the obvious failure of government to address the root causes of despair arising from social inequity.

The abandoned house is taken over by a gang of immigrant spiders, praised by the government for enriching Canada's multicultural diversity, who promptly set up a marijuana grow op and terrorize the community.

THE END

Cheesy Garlic Mash

March 10, 2008 @ 08:37

Hey ya buggers, try this one.

On Saturday I felt like some banger and mash so I put brought out the bag of potatoes and thanks to my sweet darlin’ of a wife came up with something you’ve just go to sample.

Take about eight Yukon Gold potatoes and wash them thoroughly but don’t take the skin off.

Cut them in quarters and boil them in salt until soft.

Mash them with a potato masher, not an electric mixer, this way they remain a bit chunky but not too chucky.

While mashing add a cup of Kraft Three Cheese salad dressing and a half stick of garlic butter. (the stuff you buy with garlic already in it)

You can dick around with an add more dressing and butter if you want, but I’ll tell you something, this freakin’ recipe is kick ass good.

You want to spread it on the floor and roll around in it naked.

March 7, 2008 @ 08:46

My 80 year old mother sent me this touching story.

"My grandmother died in the 50s, but her birthday is coming up, and that always causes me to reminisce.

The long walks we used to take to the store in town, the quarters she gave me for meaningless jobs like pulling weeds or washing the sidewalk...

Those gems were all good, but the one I remember most, the jewel in the crown of grandmotherly advice, occurred when I was only about 13. We were sitting in a park having just finished collecting some 40 soda bottles for the deposit money on a beautiful spring day.

She told me that one day, I would find a wonderful woman and start my own family. 'And always remember,' she said. 'Be sure you marry a woman with small hands.'

'How come, Grandma?' I asked her.

She answered in her soft Newfoundland voice.

'Makes your dick look bigger."

I still hold on to something my grandfather Fred W. Perrin said to me when I was just a young lad growing up in Scarborough.

He said "Freddie, there's nothing funnier than a well placed fart."

How true that is. Nothing gets a bigger laugh.

People can pretend they're offended by farts and people can claim they're above laughing at farts, but I just shake my head say "you're full of shit."

Cell Phone Fantasy

December 11, 2007 @ 09:47

Yesterday I received an e-mail from TA Marsden who was married to the late/great Pat Marsden.

It was one of those e-mails that you shoot out to all the people on your mailing list that includes information or advice.

This was more information than advice and it was entitled, five things you never knew your cell phone could do.

I’m not going to print all five, just this one.

Have you locked your keys in the car? ---- Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy someday! . Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their cell phone from your cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button,
holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other 'remote' for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk).

Editor's Note: It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car over a cell phone!'

I'm sorry but I've tried this more than once and it doesn't work. I tried it at home with my son and it didn't work, and then we tried it on the Humble and Fred Show when we were at the MIX

We got our intern Andy Wilson to take his cellphone out to a car and we pressed the lock button from inside the studio and it didn't work. Not even close. Not even a hint.

I'm convinced this is one of those urban myths that are designed to suck you into actually trying it and looking like an idiot.

Tiger Joke

September 28, 2007 @ 08:40

In honour of the President's Cup, which I could give two shits about, here's a Newfie joke involving Tiger Woods.

You can tell Newfie jokes because these wonderful people have a fantastic sense of humour and no chip on their shoulders.

On a golf tour in Newfoundland, Tiger Woods drives his new Ford Fusion into a gas station in a remote outpost.

The pump attendant, obviously knows nothing about golf and greets Tiger in a typical Newfoundlander manner completely unaware of who the golfing pro is.

"How's she cuttin' bye" says the attendant.

Tiger nods a quick "hello" and bends forward to pick up the nozzle only to have two tees fall out of his shirt pocket onto the ground.

"What are dose?" asks the attendant.

"They're called tees," replies Tiger.

"Well, what on god's earth are dey for?" inquires the attendant.

"They're for resting my balls on when I'm driving", says Tiger.

"Fookin Jaysus," says the Newfoundlander, "Ford tinks of everyting!"

Cream Cheese Hot Dogs

May 25, 2007 @ 07:17

Yesterday I had a posting about Tony Soprano and all the scenes that feature him stuffing something into his mouth.

I mentioned that I planned on making some of the cream cheese hot dogs that he appeared to be eating in the last episode.

As AJ was about to commit suicide, Tony came in the front door and noticed cheese filled dogs on the counter. Of course he grabbed one and stuffed it into his mouth.

It was very interesting to notice that he held onto the cheese dog even after he heard AJ's cries from outside, and didn' t throw the dog away until he realized he had to jump into the swimming pool.

Yesterday, during a break while opening my swimming pool, I made myself a Tony Soprano cheese dog - and it was worth it.

Here's a FreddieP.ca video recipe.

I'm One To Talk

April 13, 2007 @ 09:02

Indian Shores, FLA - This goes back to Tuesday when Darren and I were golfing at a beautiful course called Bardmoor. It's the first time I've ever paid one hundred dollars for a round of golf.

Actually, it was 89 American, but with the exchange, you know what I'm saying.

Anyway, it was a cool and foggy morning and Darren and I were the only ones on the course. Many of the regulars have headed back north for the summer and our early tee time made it a lonely place.

It was the 12th hole I do believe. My ball was on the green and Darren's was just off the green, which meant I was waiting for him to approach his ball at take his shot.

It was during this lull in the action that I did at curtsy fart. As a matter of fact, I did two.

I stood there and squatted, bending at the knees while expelling something that was loud and ripping. It brought great relief to Freddie P.

It also brought great comic relief to a couple of Mexican grounds keepers who I hadn't noticed just off the green and behind a tree. They laughed aloud, and as I turned around, they gave me the thumbs up.

Needless to say this has coined a new phrase on this trip. Whenever I fart, Darren refers to it as a Mexican thumbs up.

April 11, 2007 @ 09:10

Indian Shores, FLA - I've got to be honest, I'm a little disappointed with the response I got to yesterday's FreddieP.ca interactive game.

Close to a thousand people a day visit this site but only nine bothered to take part, and one of those was my mother.

I guess the FreddieP.ca audience is a little too sophisticated and mature for such things, so maybe I shouldn't bother.

Anyway, the picture is that of my sophisticated and mature friend Darren who was sitting across from me in a restaurant. When he saw a particular item on the menu that caught his fancy, he stuck his tongue out at me and started to waggle it. He often does this.

It's quite unsettling and disturbing.

Fred Ball Checks In

April 6, 2007 @ 08:11

Here's a contribution from my good friend Fred Ball. He's a big time businessman who wears a suit to work every day.

Like myself, Fred is 50.

Just came across this exercise suggested for the over 50's to build muscle strength in the arms and shoulders. It seems so easy I thought that I'd pass it on to some of my friends. The article suggested doing it three days a week.

1. Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side. With a 5lb potato bag in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you can. Try to reach a full minute, and then relax

2. Each day, you'll find that you can hold this position for just a bit longer. After a couple of weeks, move up to 10lb potato bag.

Then 25lb potato bag and then eventually try to get to where you can lift a 50lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute (I'm at this level).

3. After you feel confident at this level, the next step is to start putting a couple of potatoes in each of the bags.

Yesterday I had this posting about Anna Kournikova. As usual, when depending on my memory I don't get the details exactly correct, so my good buddy Ivar Hamilton, former music director at CFNY, and currently a Vice-President at Universal Music sent me this note.

"I remember hearing it happen over the air. It was Dave Bookman who welcomed them into the studio with huge fanfare. I believe they were in town to see the band Bush X play and from what I remember Gavin Rossdale of the band was friends with Federov thus the appearance."

Much to our dissapointment, Shanahan and Draper didn't show, instead, this tiny, perfect hot smokin shy babe came with the Russian superstar.

Needless to say, for the next few minutes, the operating and hosting of "Live in Toronto" got a little rough. I pressed the wrong buttons on the board, and Georgey "ummed and awed" his was through the rest of the interview.

More Freddie P. Fun

March 21, 2007 @ 09:10

I'm like most fellas. I sorta like Anna Kournikova even though she's got to be the world's most famous unsuccessful professional athlete.

Despite never winning a singles tournament on the women's professional tennis tour, she gained way more attention than a lot of women who won several tournaments, and of course it had a lot to do with the fact that she's smokin' hot.

I've never seen her in person but I've I can claim to have touched my ass upon a chair in which she touched her ass and there were only about eight hours in between ass touchings.

It was 1999 I believe and right out of the blue the front door of The Edge at 228 Yonge Street opened and Kornakova walked in with then boyfriend Sergei Federov. They just wanted to have a look around during "Live in Toronto".

I can't remember whether it was George Stroumboulopoulos who was hosting the show that night, or whether it was Martin Streek, but I do believe Shwarma was producing that night.

Shwarma welcomed them into the studio and while they were there, Anna sat in the chair I used during the Humble and Fred Show. Shwarma said it was almost like she was magically attracted to the chair. (not really and I wish)

Anyway I arrived at work the next morning to a buzz about Anna and was notified that she had indeed sat in my chair, and I've got to be honest, it felt different that morning, very much different. Warm and soft and inviting.

From that moment I knew I had to have that chair for my own, I never wanted to let it go, so I made up an excuse that there was something wrong with it and got Geets the engineer to replace it. And then being the nice guy that I am, I offered to take the garbage off his hands and maybe have the chair fixed at my own expense, and he agreed.

I still have the Anna chair. In fact I'm sitting in it while I write this.

Anyway, you may have noticed that Anna has sort of dropped out of sight since retiring from tennis, but the other day someone e-mailed me a picture of the little darlin' but it has raised some questions.

Is it real or has it been photo-shopped. It's obviously Anna's head, but is it her body. Have a look and then press the "discuss" button and tell me what you think.

New Uniforms

March 16, 2007 @ 09:31

You may have noticed the Maple Leafs are wearing new uniforms at practice - the same style that the players used during the NHL all-star game.

Apparently they'll be used during the regular season next year and some complain that it's nothing more than a "cash grab" by the league which has signed a huge deal with Reebok.

The same argument cannot be used against the Canadian Womens Olympic team that also plans a uniform change. Their strategy is to get more fans to attend games that don't involve playing the US Olympic team.

The womens uniforms are much more aero dynamic and less restrictive than the NHL uniforms.
