November 23rd 2012

November 23rd 2012 Kind of a dull morning after 3 glorious days....Back in 1984 a couple of local ski resorts opened their ski seasons...on this date. "GREY CUP WEEK-END...WHY WAS IT CALLED THE GREY CUP: 1...to correspond with the colour of the sky in late November 2...named for Earl Grey..so fans could have hot tea to keep them from freezing 3....Stanley was taken..as was the Tim Horton's Cup 4....the original trophy was a colourless jock strap 5....The Blue cup would remind people of what colour their lips might be in the cold... Swine Time is this week in Climax, Georgia. This is a big pig show. In fact, they've invited Miss Piggy and Kevin Bacon...although Miss Piggy declined because of a PULLED HAM STRING. it's Black Friday in the U.S....if they arrived at the mall early this morning, they may be able find a parking space by Christmas Eve....meanwhile Cyber MONDAY IS COMING UP ON TUESDAY (JUST KIDDING).
