“I knew it: ‘The man’s a dork.’ ”

-Here’s the best ‘pearl of wisdom’ I got from the internet this year: Something about under the Antarctica there being a huge ‘something’ having being built by maybe the Nazi’s and this year even the Pope and Obama and some former astronaut being interested in this place/effect/new thing; either due to the melting rate of the ice cap or some type of weird pyramid looking mountains (people will believe anything [note]) and that we -as a human species- will be paying much more attention to the southern ice cap this next year, as even the R-ooo-sians are interested, but as for our Canadian viewpoint: We’re only concerned if we can get a Tim Horton’s down there; one -at least – with a dinner menu as we wouldn’t need the drive thru aspect…Maybe some road signs to get around the wandering penguins…and such.

Have A Good New Year’s there into 2017 ! -And watch for the special presentation in January from the fake news department concerning, ‘The Indepth Look At The Underbelly Of The Ol’ Antie-Arc.’ (Bugs Bunny is supposedly the host narrator to boot…!! _A-Mazing…!)
