The Dragon Temple

The Dragon Temple ("Wat Samphran") is located about 24 miles west of Bangkok, Thailand. The temple complex has a giant golden Buddha statue and several shrines and smaller statues within, but the one that draws the eyes of tourists is a 17-story pink tower with an enormous dragon wrapped around it. The dragon is hollow and it's possible to climb through its body all the way to the top. However, the stairs are in such poor condition that only a few isolated sections of the dragon are safe to climb. Some parts of the temple are also closed to the public or to foreigners.

I was kinda hoping the dragon was a big slide. 

In case you need to bone up on your acronyms...

It's a joke. Don't take it so hard.
I understand the charity balls are a blast!
We should erect a statue in their honor!

One day, on the golf course...

A rich old man goes for his regular round of golf with his friends but this time he brings along a gorgeous young lady.

“Guys, meet my new fiancée,” he says, full of pride as he introduces her to his pals.

For the rest of the afternoon, his friends can’t take their eyes off the stunning beauty.

After the round of golf, the rich man goes up to the bar to buy drinks for the group.

One of his friends goes with him and when at the bar asks him, “How on earth did you manage to hook up with such a beautiful young lady? You’re seventy. She must be at least forty years younger than you!”

The old rich guy says, “I lied about my age.”

His friend says, “And she believed you? How old did you say you were?”


“I told her I was ninety.”

The Joke of the Month

Why does England feel like it's two months ahead of us?




Well, it's only March 29th here, but in England it feels like it's the end of May.

THROWBACK THURSDAY - "Schwartz's Deli - Montreal's FINEST!"

(originally published on June 10, 2009)



Forget Cantor's in LA. Forget Manny's in Chicago. Even forget Katz's in New York. Their delicatessens are rank amateurs compared to Schwartz's Deli - a hole-in-the-wall, greasy spoon diner on Saint-Laurent Boulevard.

I first heard about Schwartz's several years ago when I was teaching a seminar in Montreal. Several of the attendees were raving about this place, so I figured I had to try it out. It was the dead of Winter, about a mile away from my hotel, and I walked - while it was snowing... at NIGHT, to check it out.


My first clue that this was going to be a good experience was the line of people stretching out the door and onto the sidewalk, standing in the snow, waiting for their take out orders. There were a few seats at the counter, so I parked myself and ordered the house special - a smoked meat sandwich. One bite of this thing and my taste buds were exploding. It was absolutely the best sandwich I'd ever had, ever.

This place absolutely needs to become a Mecca for you - unless you're a weenie-ass *vegetarian* ("Are you a vegetarian because you love animals or because you hate plants?").

Check this place out.

You'll thank me.

"From the Large Intestine of the Internets,

peeing like a baby on a changing table

                            They say any publicity is good publicity, so I guess I shouldn’t complain, 
                            but I can’t help feeling just a little insulted. And confused. I always 
                            thought those “Worst Dressed” lists were limited to *famous* people.
