Hey Silverhorner's Welcome back to the View From Silverhorn Mountain. It's hump day around here, the middle of the week, we're getting through it....
We haven't had an "animals in the news" report in sometime, so I think we are overdue...According to the CTV News from British Columbia, a black bear turned pirate and boarded a fishing boat on Vancouver Island and mauled the owner. We're calling him, "The Pirate Black Fur" because "The Pirate Black Beard" is already gone.
It seems a 52 year old fisherman was aboard the boat when Black Fur attacked, and even when the fisherman gave up his fish, the pirate bear continued to maul him. Fortunately for the fisherman, but not so good for Black Fur the Pirate, a group of other fishermen beat him to death with knives and hammers...not a great way to die, even for a pirate...of course being mauled by a black bear is not a great way to die, even for a fisherman.
As of this writing, the fisherman is still alive, in hospital in Victoria. The bear is undergoing a necropsy to determine what might have made him do it....uh-huh...it's a bear, bears like fish...
In other news, scientists in Europe have invented a 'big bang' machine, a particle accelerator, The Large Hadrian Collider, that they have been working on for three decades. It's designed to replicate the big bang theory which some theorists use as their explanation for the beginning of life. It seems this new machine fires protons in a big circle until they smash into each other. There was a slight, very slight possibility that this could have gone awry and a black hole created which would have swallowed the earth.
Uh-huh...so...let's go over this again, a bunch of scientists, potentially mad scientists, (they are common in these circumstances) are working below ground on a 'project' that could have gone bad, and sucked the earth, and you and me into a big black hole...and you can watch a video about it... here
The scientists told the reporters not to worry, they were watching it, and it was unlikely that the black hole would happen...unlikely...scientists are never wrong are they? The reporter on the video says it is either a big breathrough for science, or the end of the world. Do you remember giving your go ahead for this?
Here is a future rocket scientist trying a little experiment of his own, now, tell me, is this what you want playing with a proton accelerator?

Sit Down Man You're A Bloody Tragedy
Hey Silverhorners, how's it going tonight, Monday...yuck...hate Monday, unless it's a holiday Monday, then I like Mondays....or Tuesdays, Wednesdays...whatever, as long is the day of the week is prefaced with "holiday" I am all for it....
In case you haven't guessed, I really haven't got a clue what to write about tonight, so I am strettttttcccccccchinnnng thingssssss ooooooout.....
Although I am a little short on stuff, I have to tell you about this, I came across a blog that has made me laugh for several days, even though I haven't read any more than the title and one post...It's the title that has me laughing, and somewhat jealous that I didn't think of it myself.
It's called, Sit Down Man You Are A Bloody Tragedy Hahahaha...that kills me....I want to say it to someone, infact I want to say it to a lot of people, in fact, I believe my mission tomorrow is to say it to at least one person tomorrow....I dunno for sure what it is about that sentence that kills me, but it does, and it has stuck with me for days now....and every once and awhile I say it to myself, in fact, more than I would like to admit.
Perhaps that might be the key to getting through some of the frigging meetings about nothing that seem to fill my days and weeks....everyone holding a meeting should have to say to themselves as they yap about whatever new plan they have come up with, "sit down man, you're a bloody tragedy" or perhaps, it could be handed to one person in each meeting, who is told to say it as soon as the meeting goes off track, which, in many of the meetings I attend, usually happens within minutes. That would free the rest of us up to go to lunch....
Hmmmmm...let's try it, I am going to say it now..."Sit down man, you're a bloody tragedy"
Well gotta go!
------------------------------
My hat goes out to the blogger who came up with, Sit Down Man You're A Bloody Tragedy Go ahead, I know you want to, check it out...it's Here!

Nipple Rings And Other Things
Hey Silverhorner's How's it hanging? We're a little under the weather here at Silverhorn Lodge. Last night was our monthly meeting of the Association for Silverhorn Seniors (A.S.S) which is getting a little um...old....
The party went great though until one of the sexier seniors, Reena, lost her earring...well...not exactly an earring, it was a nipple ring. Ouch! You know what I mean, the lastest craze in sexy piercings, where they get a little hole drilled into their um...well...body parts, why I am not exactly sure, but I think it has something to do with trying to make them bigger. I think the idea involves putting rings on them, and then hanging weights on the strings to um...well...stretch things out a bit...of course for the up lift look, you tie them to the ceiling at night.
Apparently Reena was looking for a little extra 'umphhh' in the blouse area, and had a couple installed. You'll remember Reena, one of the seniors from our annual assisted living camping trip she was the one who snored...and snored....and snored...
Well the nipple rings have helped her out a little with the snoring, the doctor suggested she try sleeping on her side, which he said would reduce her snoring, thus allowing her poor sleep deprived husband Jim, to get a little shut eye...the guy looks tired....
Reena is a pretty good sport and willing to try anything, but apparently she is a little feisty in bed. So whenever Jim, who sleeps in a cot in Reena's room, tried to get her to turn over on her side she would kick and go on like crazy. So Jim, a deep thinker if not a good sleeper had an idea. He got Reena into the sauce one evening, and when she was in a good mood, and not really aware of her surroundings he took her to a piercing place and had too "hoops" installed.
Now, at bedtime, just before he crawls into his little cot beside the double bed Reena sleeps in, he ties a string to her nipple rings. As soon as she rolls over on her back and starts snoring, he gives the string a pull....she rolls back over on her side quickly...and the snoring ends....
Oh yeah, Reena's lost nipple ring? Turned up later jammed in between old Davey's dentures, he found it when he took them out....some folks are whispering and asking questions, but her husband Jim is just happy to have it back...
In totally unrelated stuff, here is John Pinette talking about camping.

Wolves, Presidents, Pregnancies and Sympathy Votes
Here on Silverhorn Mountain, wolves haven't been much of a concern for the last...well...for a long time....and now I think I know why. Researchers have discovered that wolves are becoming fish eaters. According to an article in AFP News wolves are switching to fishing as soon as salmon enter the rivers. I suspect they have learned about colesteral and the importance of getting essential oils inherent in fish, particularly salmon. The deer and moose are loving the wolve's new diet but wonder if it is a passing fad like the low carb diets.
In other news of little or no merit, President George W Bush, in a release to the Associated Press, indicated that he's figured out that things are not all that safe in the world, in his words, "We live in a dangerous world," and "And we need a president who understands the lessons of Sept. 11, 2001: that to protect America, we must stay on the offense, stop attacks before they happen and not wait to be hit again." Too bad he hadn't figured that out prior to Sept 11, 2001, perhaps things would have been different. He's deep that man...deep....
Of course, he missed the fact that most everyone seems to be more concerned with the news that John McCain's pick for Vice Prsident, Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin, has a 17 year old daughter who, it turns out is um...with child...pregnant....knocked up....well you know what I mean...Yes, in case you missed it, and I have no idea how you did, the Governor of Alaska, Palin, has a 17 year old unmarried daughter...*gasp*
What's more, astute media people have also uncovered Palin's connection to an Alaskan secession party....I don't know exactly what that is, but I assume with 24 hours of darkness in winter, there is lots of sucession going on. I'm not surprised like minded folks get together and have a party....scandalous though they might be...you know that they sleep naked under those furs....
I am reminded of the Canadian Poet, Robert Service, who may very well have witnessed some of these "sucession parties" when he wrote such lines as; "the northern lights have seen queer sights"...no that's no it...um...oh yes..."there are strange things done in the midnight sun...."
The spin doctors are suggesting that the pregnancy revelations are a good thing, something that Americans can 'relate to' as opposed to the real issues like wars in middle eastern countries, and the like. I mean, really, what sells more tabloids, wars or teenage celebrity pregancies...it's amazing really.
C'mon folks, get over it, who cares except the expecting parents and their families, it's not exactly the first time a 17 year old found herself in this situation....no comparison to the 18 and 19 year olds finding themselves the victim of a roadside bomb on some road in the middle of the desert....
The spin docs say that the pending birth might generate sympathy for the party, and sympathy means votes....hey it works for us here at Silverhorn, we get a fair number of sympathy readers....

Sex Addiction Counsellors Meeting
Hey Silverhornner's!! Welcome back to Silverhorn Mountain. It's the end of a long weekend here at Silverhorn, and thank heavens for that....these weekends take a lot out of me.
This was kind of special weekend here at Silverhorn Mountain, we were happy that Silverhorn Lodge was chosen to host the annual meeting of the Organization of Rehabilitators Gathered Against Sexual Maniacs. Actually they usually just refer to themselves as sex addiction counsellors.
Well! You talk about an interesting group....and the stories they tell, about their patients of course....I mean, c'mon, these folks have heard it all. Of course their meeting couldn't have come at a better time as it coincided with a Reuter's news release that suggests Ex-X-Files star, David Duchovny may have sought treatment for...um...problems of this nature.
Apparently, David is quite the ladies man, or at least he was, and the article says that before his marriage to actress Tea Leoni, he was seen with a 'string of women' Which of course is a problem, because I think that sort of thing is illegal, or at least not thought of very highly in Hollywood, where it's frowned upon for actors to be seen with women....
Actually, for his part in this, David has denied the allegation, as did Michael Douglas, who also spent some time in rehab in the 1990's. Douglas denied the reports as well, choosing to say he was getting help because he was drinking too much.
Well...I'm not sure which is worse, but I think I would rather be known for as a lover than a drinker, espcially considering the treatment for sex addiction may involve taking medicines to reduce the old libido....whereas a drinking problem may involve swearing off beer....I dunno, I think my libido could drop a notch or two and still be ok....
Of course all this sex addiction stuff may just be smoke and mirrors, don't forget Michael Douglas made some pretty sexy movies like "Fatal Attraction" and "Basic Instinct" and David Duchovny was the host of the steamy half hour television show the "Red Shoe Diaries" and don't tell me you never watched it...I know you did....
So the counsellors met at Silverhorn, had quite a party too, the campfire we held Saturday night was a blast, we made it a Toga Party, (Marcello's idea) just to see what would happen....passing around the shooters didn't hurt either...needless to say, those counsellors got some first hand experience.
Well I have to go, we've got to fish several togas out of the swimming pool...
----------------------------------
We're often asked here at Silverhorn Lodge, how do we provide such great meals? No matter the group, large or small, our menu is always bristling with great food, and it's food that everyone knows and loves...well, the secret could be in our little recipe book, Official Secret Restaurant Recipes, and you can get a copy of your very own, save money, make your family love you as you whip up meals like the great restaurants, get your copy, of this great book, Click Here!
---------------------------------
By the way, our thoughts are with the folks in New Orleans tonight as they bravely face down Hurricane Gustav, which is hitting the already hard hit city tonight. By the sound of things on CNN, the storm is not quite as bad as expected, and the levees seem to be holding. Anderson Cooper is on the job, at the Storm Center, or whatever they call it...and he is keeping an eye on things. Anderson loves to be out in a storm....no wonder his hair is grey.
