Here's a picture of the late Shame as a baby. He needs no further explanation.

There. I fixed it.

The late, unlamented Shame never what much of a thinker, except for beer and women and he could only fulfill his thinking for the beer and then only if it belonged to someone else.

With all the money governments around the world are dishing out to bail out banks, 85 billion doesn't seem such a large amount as it used to. One positive from the credit crunch I suppose.

Hit him in the groin and he doubles over and yells "OWWWWAUGHHHHH! FLIP ME!"

I got to thinking. Seems to me that if you hit him in the groin you should get the top prize since the target area is so small.

The other thing is the requirement that you eat what you shoot...and you have to then ask yourself, "Do I clean up the puke on my shirt now or after I throw up again?"

There are a lot of Doofus's in Blind River, but it's a small place. Therefore they can be said to be rare, I suppose.

Furthermore, it doesn't hang on whether he's alive or dead. If he's alive, all the more reason to shoot at effigies of him. If he's dead, then do it in memoriam. Either way..."it's all good". ;-)

I should do the same here. If I can sell it as an economic stimulus sort of thing I might be able to get millions. Rebuilding the arcade game infrastructure. It could blossom into a travelling franchise, county fairs all over this great land could have 'Shoot the Shane' booths.

I can see it now. One of those old shooting galleries only instead of rows of metal ducks it would have rows of metal Shane's to shoot at. Step right up and win a prize for the little lady (or gent as the case may be). More fun than trying to hit a fuzzy clown with a lopsided baseball.

We were in touch by phone. I called up to see how he's doing. He says "things ain't never been better", which I take to mean that he is not in jail (obviously), there's beer in the fridge, and probably some leftover pizza as well. Paradise, eh?

Did you get that message from Shame via ouija board or by automatic writing? Or did he just stumble drunkenly into your bedroom last night and give it to you? I suspect the last, since a foul odor is one of the signs of a haunting and the late Shame McBride was the ultimate in foul odors.

He says that if you were buried with yours open, Rapaire, no one would even care "cos yer flippin' equipment don't work no more anyways"! I was told to give you that message personally...straight from the moose's lips, as the saying goes.

Was he buried with his fly open, just in case?

Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts?
From: Little Hawk
Date: 19 Jan 09 - 10:55 PM

The question always is "Should I zip my fly now...or should I wait?" Every North Ontario lad asks himself that after having taken a quick whizz against a wall or a snowbank, because you never know when a willing woman might suddenly appear out of nowhere, and time is of the absolute essence when she does! A woman who is seeminly willing at the stroke of midnight may no longer be willing by a half a minute after midnight. They can change their flippin' minds in a second, y' know, and they often do. That is why Shane sometimes leaves his fly unzipped for lengthy periods of time...except when it gets TOO FLIPPIN' COLD OUTSIDE! ...which it has been just lately.

Too bad Shame won't be here to see them. If only he hadn't slipped on the edge of that cesspool! But we do have his Last Words of "Mmm! Mmm! Good!" to inspire and guide us.

We shall meet, but we won't miss him
There will be one vacant share
We wouldn't think we should caress him
And Old Shame will not be there.

When a year ago we gathered
Beer was in in his blood-shot eyes
He'd been sick all o'er his shirt front
And he'd still not zipped his fly.

It just occurred to me that Shane should have titled this thread "WHEN will this thread reach 85 billion posts?", not "Will this thread reach 85 billion posts?" To ask the latter question indicates doubt. If you're going to embark on such a noble enterprise, there should be no doubt whatsoever of achieving the objective.
