Dandelion Fields Forever

Dandelion Fields Forever

For many years in Alberta, farmers would spend a great deal of time and money trying to rid their fields of all the dandelions.  Eventually they realized that it was an utterly hopeless quest.  So, following the advice of the old adage, they decided since they were unable to beat them, they would join them (in a manner of speaking).  …

Mmmm…very tasty

Mmmm…very tasty

I was just watching t.v., looking for some inspiration and, luckily, I found it.  I stumbled across the video for the song “Stupid” by Girlicious (not to be confused with “Stupid Girls” or “Stupid Girl”; this song is totally different).  I was immediately struck by how well choreographed the video was.  The girls were all gyrating like high class “exotic …

South of the 49th Parallel

South of the 49th Parallel

There is a line in the movie “Pulp Fiction”, spoken by John Travolta’s character Vincent Vega; “They’ve got the same sh*t over there that we do, it’s just that over there it’s a little different.”  I had occasion recently to travel down from Alberta into the U.S.A. and that is pretty much what I was thinking a lot of the …

Riding Woody

Riding Woody

Well, you can clearly see what I have been doing for the past several days.  That’s right, I’ve been riding Tremors with an 11 year old girl (don’t worry, her mother [sitting right behind us] said I could).  I wanted to perform an experiment.  You see at first she was scared to ride the roller coaster, but after promising her …

“Weird Al” Yankovic Plays The Redneck Bar and Grill

…and it was frakking awesome! Words can barely express just how truly awesome it was (although the dictionary definition of the word comes close). Of course the after-party was pretty mind blowing as well; which is why it’s taken me 5 days to recover enough to write this review.
“Weird Al” took the stage with very little fanfare. …

Can You Understand The Words Coming Out Of My Blog?

There’s been an…occurrence happening around The Redneck lately that I feel that I ought to address.  As you know we have that whole “do-follow” thing going on; so when you leave a comment it will link back to your own blog/website (if you know this then why am I bothering to bring it up, one might inquire).  Now; I have …

I Just Watched My Dog Run Away For A Week

So a little while ago my Aunt Pollie was telling me that her law firm has just been swamped with land deals recently.  It seems that a vast number of people are wanting to move out to Saskatchewan.  Really, who cam blame them; the vast stretches of land that are utterly unobstructed by any sort of features like hills or …

Let’s All Be Grammatically Correct

I’m sure a lot of you out there are quite familiar with Tim’s and my views regarding poor spelling and/or lack of proper grammatical usage.  Which is exactly why I thought I’d mention it again (well, that and the fact that I have nothing new to say so I figured I’d just put a new spin on something that I …

Looks Like We Finally Made It

So I had been planning to do a special post when we reached reached a very significant goal with this blog.  It’s something Tim and I have been striving and hoping for since we first started writing about Blue Beaver Beer.  I know a lot of our loyal patrons have probably already achieved this goal, but I’m sure there are …

How One Man Is Affecting Fuel Prices

So, as I mentioned before; we just celebrated Canada Day.  Seeing as it fell on a Tuesday this year it wasn’t technically a long week-end.  However, a lot of people who were higher up in the pecking order of their companies were able to take Monday off as well as Tuesday.  A lot more people were able to beg their …
