I miss you daddy!!!

OTTAWA- A Canadian television network was formally reprimanded on Wednesday for a program which showed a man repeatedly swearing and drinking beer while driving a motorboat and then telling children they should behave like him.

The offending segment from an action sports show called "fatbluesky" showed a character called Joe driving a boat which contained a cooler filled with beer. Joe was then seen drinking from a beer can while at the wheel. Later on he addressed "boys and girls" and told them in expletive-filled comments that if they were as smart as he was, they could live the same way as he did.

Ther isn't really much to say about this story other than the fact that this guy obviously rocks! I have been going to church every Sunday trying to live the "right way." But now it's clear: the "right way" involves Miller Lite, outboard motors, and hot Canadian boat-hoes.

However, this story saddens me, for it reminds me of my dead father (who is pictured above). My dad loved boats and he loved to drink.... Most importantly, he loved his Captain's hat, which he wore everywhere.

This picture was taken in 1985 when my dad, my mom, my sister, and I were enjoying a nice day out on the delta. My dad had a few too many "brew-dogs" as he liked to call them and he made love to my mom right there in front of us on the boat's bow. It was a disturbing sight and all... My mom trying to fend my dad off the best she could, while he tried his best to give her a Cleaveland Steamer, all the while trying to keep his beer from spilling and his Captain's hat from falling off. To cut a long story short, he finished his "steamer" while screaming "I am El Capitan!!!" Nine months later, I got a little brother. Unfortunately, my father never got to see my brother, for my dad died tragically as he attempted to barefoot waterski while trying to touch his tongue to his T'aint.

I miss you dad!
