What the fuck is wrong with people? To the gents who left their broken shards of beer bottles hidden in the water just off shore at Paces Lake, where my young niece, nephew, and my entire family (grandparents included) have been swimming unscathed our entire lives. YOU FUCKING ROCK!!
My nephew sliced his foot open and had to be rushed to the hospital to get stitches, he was scared shit less. Sadly I know most of the people who swim there. A lot of you have kids too. So next time, if you accidentally smash a bottle or drop garbage please remember that your moment of stupidity and laziness could possible injure someone’s child. So bend your ass over and pick up your shit.
To the handful of hooligans who are new to the lake. (These are your typical hicks who never grew up, who are more than likely responsible:
There ARE other people in this world you selfish morons. And if this was a lame attempt at recreating your even lamer high school years, if it was done deliberately, Well… Hell hath no furry as an auntie PISSED. If I had the patience, time, and money, I’d wait behind the bushes until I roasted you fuckers. ASSHOLES
I cleaned up your mess, now clean up your act because I’m coming back, and you better pray that there isn’t even a pop bottle cap on the ground, because YES I am a crazy bitch with NO FEAR and when it comes to the safety of the people I love, you might as well lock me up. Make no mistake, I will tear you a new one.—Lunatic Auntie on the Lose

Fuck, I knew Ackroyd and I would never get away with selling a ‘Bag o’ Glass’ to those boozers.
That sucks, OP. Another job for Suckilicious and his machete, perhaps??
Where is Paces Lake? Rename is Feces Lake and the no one will swim there and people can throw all the broken glass they want into it.
Do the responsible thing and look after your kids and family. Treat swimming with the outdoors like mowing a lawn; check for anything that may damage your family or the mower such as rocks, glass, etc.
Things happen. I doubt that being scorned on LTWWB is going to entice a bunch of yokels to heed your fury.
yeah, those same kids will toss their empties anywhere o.p., even where they swim, great future geaneration here, what.
Ghetto Beach – far away in time…
Did you see “the gents” do this or just assuming it had to be males that did it?
I blame hillbillies.
i have a couple of looney aunties, and well i am an aunt as well…so….mmmuffins and the martha. hey admiral
Knew you’d get that one Painey. Jr. Eagle just awoke from his midday nap. I’ve seen him stretching his wings but I don’t know if he’s tried flying yet. Mostly he just hops around the nest.
i have been watching…i think there may be another corbie baby but i can’t be sure. they have become naughty teenagers. hiding in my trees, thinking i can’t see them. ha
I don’t think he’s left the nest yet Ivan-the-avian-ogler. Jr has been up on the post above the nest and has figured out that much flapping of wings will give him lift-off to get him up there but is so far content to observe the world from there. But not for too much longer I’m guessing. Soon he’s going to want to give that wingspan of his a testdrive. It’s been fun watching him grow from a little eating/sleeping/ little nestling to a creature who now knows he is a bird of prey.
First time I saw one in the wild was our honeymoon. We’d just gotten out of the car at Margaree Harbor and one came flying up from the river, 10 feet above us with a fish in his talons. Very cool.
This sucks OP but I really hate when people are all “OMG WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN?!?!” What about the other billions of people on the planet that aren’t children? Fuck ’em I guess. Anyone see those “idle-free” buses with those HORRIBLE words on the side; “Idle-free: for the children”? Makes me want to puke.
Very cool Ivan-the-honeymooner. Great way to start one’s married life with the great eagle omen blessing in the sky. Reminds me of a friend who once got circled by a hawk as she was leaving her home to go get a hawk tattooed.
my brother had his wedding on the margaree…it was loverly. there were horsies
We kinda thought that way too OL. I’m absolutely grooving on your permutations of my moniker. Please keep it up. >: ).
PG – SOBova’s dad was from Donkin, but I had never been to CB Before. We crammed in as much as we could in a week and finished up at Liscomb Lodge. Louisbourg totally blew me away.
I’m pretty stoked – taking a week to see CB in August. Did it a few years back, but it’s so beautiful definitely worth a visit every couple of years… Louisbourg is on the agenda too!
Love to do the Trail again in the autumn. Frig! I must be getting old – turning into a got-dang leafer. >: )
Yikes! And a birder too… dosen’t bode well for you, your pope-i-ness
My path is a complex one, O’ R of the almn.
Farmer Bob,
Hey take it easy on the hillbillies. What about the hippies?
yea hillbillies are humorous and hippies are just annoying 🙂
Hillbillies eschew hygiene from poverty and ignorance; with hippies it’s a political act.
Hey Marty, are ya still in TO? How was your Dad’s b-day?
thanks Ivan I’m in Cobourg ON actually and my dads b-day is the 21st 🙂
Paingirl and I will hoist cold ones to the both of you on that day.
i’d hoist one right now if i could…we have the turbo 2000 fan in the shop, sounds like a fighter plane and it’s only one #1. hey martym how is the weather in ontariariario?^^^
funny you should ask very nice but we just ahd a short nasty storm incl. HAIL WTF? 🙂
Nothing beats a ripping good, mid summer, Lake Ontario fuelled electrical storm. The folks live in K-Town and they get some great ones
Yea Cobourg has the nicest beach from K-town to TO ; parents house is like 2 blocks from the lake “walk’n on the beaches look’n at the peaches” The Stranglers; I love K-town and Queen’s is def. an “A” list school
when we had the cottage on riley lake, the storms were amazing. one night we had a system move into the end of our lake-150 yds across…bolt, ball and cloud to cloud lightning. we will never forget it. ontario is more than toronto martym, but you know that. i bought a strangler’s cd at obsolete on agricola… hot weary rawkin
Sweet Action! Our daytrip getaway spot was Picton, the Sand Banks. One September before we were married SOBova and I were swimming while cottagers in cardigans strolled by looking at the Scotian looneys in the lake.
Yes sand banks is a very close second (beauty prov. park) and yea ON is way more than TO; Algonquin park can rival anything in Canada for nat. beauty and paingirl if you like The Stranglers than we’re def. kindred spirits because they are in my books the all-time finest rock and roll band ever (until Hugh Cornwell left)
Sandbanks is sooooo beautiful. Too much algae in the water for my taste though. Algonquin is a jewel. I used to camp commando style in the Algonquin area, summer and November alike. Nothin’ like scraping a great thickness of frost off your tent in the morning:)
you camped sans git? 🙂
Ah yes…the spectacular Ontario summer lightning show…one of a few things I miss about life in southern Ontar-I-o. Seen some real beauties.
