I was out for a dinner a couple of times this weekend, but I am home tonight rather than deciding to go out dressed as Bobby Buff attempting to earn Maple Ridge candy...

'Saudi Prince Dodges Felony Charges, But Faces Lurid Lawsuit'
Cited
'Saudi Prince Majed Abdulaziz Al-Saud avoided felony charges after a bloodied woman scaled the wall of his Beverly Hills mansion and accused him of sexually assualting her earlier this year. But now three female employees have filed a lawsuit that outlines more of what they claim happened at the compound, including new accusations that the prince had sex with men.
Gay sex is illegal in Saudi Arabia and is punishable by life in prison, castration, or even death. Gay men are regularly arrested and severely punished in the conservative Muslim nation.'
Cited
'The case made national headlines when Al-Saud, the son of the late King Abdullah, was arrested in September after police rescued a bleeding woman screaming for help as she tried to climb an 8-foot wall to escape the prince's rented $37-million mansion. The woman claimed he had tried to force her to have oral sex, according to the Los Angeles Times. Prosecutors later said they didn't have enough evidence to charge Al-Saud, and he was released on $300,000 bail.
Now three former female employees have filed a lawsuit against the prince, claiming he attacked them in the mansion over the course of several days.
The lawsuit, filed on Thursday, seeks unspecified damages. They claim they tried to escape three times before the police arrived and arrested the prince. Al-Saud has denied the charges, claiming the women are trying to extort money from him. The women say the prince forced himself upon them at drug- and booze-fueled parties, including forcing the women to watch as a male aide masturbated the prince and another aide bent over to "break wind" in the prince's face.'

'The claim is made in legal documents laying out details of the civil case against Prince Majed bin Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, 29, who was arrested in Los Angeles last month after neighbors spotted a crying, bleeding woman attempting to scale a wall of his compound.
He is also accused of failing to prevent aides from mistreating three female members of his domestic staff – with the result that they now also face charges, although Prince Majed remains the lead defendant. The women, who all allege sexual harassment and say they were imprisoned at the mansion against their will, have filed a civil claim '
Cited
'One of the most eye-catching incidents came shortly before Prince Majed's arrest on September 25th and saw him demand that his entire household go down to the pool and strip off.'
Cited
'He also threatened to kill one of the women if she refused to 'party' with him and jumped on top of another and began rubbing himself against her in a 'sexual and aggressive manner'.
When asked to stop, he allegedly then yelled: 'I am a prince and I do what I want. You are nobody!''

Bronze Rat
ReplyDeleteA bloke from the bush walked into a Sydney antique shop.
After looking around for a while, he noticed a very life-like bronze statue of a rat.
It had no price tag, but it was so striking that he decided to buy it anyway.
He took it to the owner and said: 'How much is this bronze rat?'
The owner replied: 'It's $12 for the rat, and $100 for the story.'
The fellow gave the owner his $12 and said: 'I'll just take the rat, you can keep the story!'
As he walked off down the street, he noticed that a few real rats had crawled out of the
drains and begun following him.
This was a little disconcerting, so he started to walk a little faster, but within a couple of
blocks the swarm of rats had grown to hundreds, and they were all squealing and
screeching in a very menacing way.
He increased his speed and ran on towards Sydney Harbour and as he ran, he looked
behind him and saw the rats now numbered in their MILLIONS, and they were running
faster and faster.
By now very concerned, he ran down to the pier and threw the bronze rat as far out into
the water as he could.
Amazingly, the millions of real rats jumped into the water after it and were all drowned.
The man walked back to relate all this to the shop owner, who said, 'Ah, you've come
back for the story then?'
'Shit no!' said the bloke, 'I came back to see if you've got a bronze Muslim.

DHL Express provided very good service. Last week online I made a passport order and payment to England, including the required all held passports to be mailed (Not a Canadian requirement as well), and then sent the paid package through Canada Post and DHL Express. This morning I received a text message of the incoming parcel and two phone messages that I should leave a signed note on my door if I wished to receive the package without being present. Almost immediately after these messages the courier was at my door.
ReplyDeleteI definitely prefer this service from that I have received from UPS in the past.

While walking through the woods one day, I was surprised to hear a child's voice. I followed the sound, trying in vain to understand the child's words. When I spotted a boy perched on a rock, I realized why his words had made no sense: He was repeating the alphabet.
ReplyDelete“Why are you saying your ABC's so many times?" I asked him.
The child replied, "I'm saying my prayers."
I couldn't help but laugh. "Prayers? All I hear is the alphabet."
Patiently the child explained, "Well, I don't know all the words, so I give God the letters. He knows what I'm trying to say."

Two hunters were dragging their dead deer down a trail back to their truck.
ReplyDeleteAnother hunter approached pulling his along too.
"Hey, I don't want to tell you what to do, but I can tell you that it's much easier if you drag the deer in the other direction. Then the antlers won't dig into the ground."
After the third hunter left, the two decided to try it.
A little while later one man said to the other, "You know, that guy was right. This is a lot easier!"
"Yeah," the other added, "but we're getting farther away from the truck!"

ReplyDeleteT'WAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS,
HE LIVED ALL ALONE,
IN A ONE BEDROOM HOUSE,
MADE OF PLASTER AND STONE.
I HAD COME DOWN THE CHIMNEY,
WITH PRESENTS TO GIVE,
AND TO SEE JUST WHO,
IN THIS HOME, DID LIVE.
I LOOKED ALL ABOUT,
A STRANGE SIGHT I DID SEE,
NO TINSEL, NO PRESENTS,
NOT EVEN A TREE.
NO STOCKING BY MANTLE,
JUST BOOTS FILLED WITH SAND,
ON THE WALL HUNG PICTURES,
OF FAR DISTANT LANDS.
WITH MEDALS AND BADGES,
AWARDS OF ALL KINDS,
A SOBER THOUGHT,
CAME THROUGH MY MIND.
FOR THIS HOUSE WAS DIFFERENT,
IT WAS DARK AND DREARY,
I FOUND THE HOME OF A SOLDIER,
ONCE I COULD SEE CLEARLY.
THE SOLDIER LAY SLEEPING,
SILENT, ALONE,
CURLED UP ON THE FLOOR,
IN THIS ONE BEDROOM HOME.
THE FACE WAS SO GENTLE,
THE ROOM IN DISORDER,
NOT HOW I PICTURED,
A TRUE BRITISH SOLDIER.
WAS THIS THE HERO,
OF WHOM I'D JUST READ?
CURLED UP ON A PONCHO,
THE FLOOR FOR A BED?
I REALISED THE FAMILIES,
THAT I SAW THIS NIGHT,
OWED THEIR LIVES TO THESE SOLDIERS,
WHO WERE WILLING TO FIGHT.
SOON ROUND THE WORLD,
THE CHILDREN WOULD PLAY,
AND GROWNUPS WOULD CELEBRATE,
A BRIGHT CHRISTMAS DAY.
THEY ALL ENJOYED FREEDOM,
EACH MONTH OF THE YEAR,
BECAUSE OF THE SOLDIERS,
LIKE THE ONE LYING HERE.
I COULDN'T HELP WONDER,
HOW MANY LAY ALONE,
ON A COLD CHRISTMAS EVE,
IN A LAND FAR FROM HOME.
THE VERY THOUGHT BROUGHT,
A TEAR TO MY EYE,
I DROPPED TO MY KNEES,
AND STARTED TO CRY.
THE SOLDIER AWAKENED,
AND I HEARD A ROUGH VOICE,
"SANTA DON'T CRY,
THIS LIFE IS MY CHOICE;
I FIGHT FOR FREEDOM,
I DON'T ASK FOR MORE,
MY LIFE IS MY GOD,
MY COUNTRY, MY CORPS.."
THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER,
AND DRIFTED TO SLEEP,
I COULDN'T CONTROL IT,
I CONTINUED TO WEEP.
I KEPT WATCH FOR HOURS,
SO SILENT AND STILL,
AND WE BOTH SHIVERED,
FROM THE COLD NIGHT'S CHILL.
I DID NOT WANT TO LEAVE,
ON THAT COLD, DARK, NIGHT,
THIS GUARDIAN OF HONOR,
SO WILLING TO FIGHT.
THEN THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER,
WITH A VOICE SOFT AND PURE,
WHISPERED, "CARRY ON SANTA,
IT'S CHRISTMAS DAY, ALL IS SECURE."
ONE LOOK AT MY WATCH,
AND I KNEW HE WAS RIGHT.
"MERRY CHRISTMAS MY FRIEND,
AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT."
This poem was written by a Peacekeeping soldier stationed overseas. The following is his request. I think it is reasonable
PLEASE. Would you do me the kind favour of sending this to as many people as you can? Christmas will be coming soon and some
credit is due to all of the service men and women for our being able to celebrate these festivities. Let's try in this small way to pay
a tiny bit of what we owe. Make people stop and think of our heroes, living and dead, who sacrificed themselves for us.
Please, do your small part to plant this small seed.
Good day. I am interested in your profile. You struck me as an interesting person. I wanted to write to you to get to know you better. The most important thing for me is what is inside you and how you relate to life I Anna. I'm in Russia. I'm 31 years old. I want to have a family with a responsible person and have a real family with him. I was not her husband. I'm just missing in my life. I have a college education and a good job. I do not have just a loving person. I gave you an idea about myself. Now you decide, you 'll answer me or not. But I think why not try? I think we should use this chance to be happy. I will tell you more about yourself and your future plans. I'll be waiting eagerly for your reply. Happy days. Anna.

HUMOR
ReplyDeleteWhile trying to explain to our six-year-old daughter how much technology had changed, my husband pointed to our brand-new personal computer and told her that when he was in college, a computer with the same amount of power would have been the size of a house.
Wide-eyed, our daughter asked, "How big was the mouse?"
