O Holy Grill

Day 4 of The 12 Days of Beachwood Christmas

On the 4th day of Christmas, Don’s Grill gave to me
A pickle on a pure beef patty

O Holy Grill

O Holy Grill
On Cicero and Belmont
You were the place where my drunk friends would go
O Holy Grill
Your meat was really greasy
With grilled onions and some french fries on the side

Hillary, Hillary

Day 3 of The 12 Days of Beachwood Christmas

On the 3rd day of Christmas, the Beachwood gave to me
A woman running for the Presidency

*

Hillary, Hillary

Hillary, Hillary, you’re Bill Clinton’s spouse
He’ll be the First Husband
In your feminist White House
Hillary, Hillary, you went to Wellesley
Then on to Yale Law School
Where you earned your law degree
Dashing through New York
Health care’s the card you play
More taxes from the rich
Equality for gays
The pantsuits that you wear
Show that you’ve got class
I’ll bet if you arm wrestled
You’d kick Giuliani’s ass

Little George Bush

Day 2 of The 12 Days of Beachwood Christmas

On the 2nd day of Christmas, Tom Latourette gave to me
Two full terms and a song of presidential mediocrity

*

Little George Bush

Well way down in Texas, hanging at his ranch
Job approval’s in the toilet, Congress – Democrat
Civil liberties gone, he waved them all bye-bye
In his new biography, he says he likes to cry
He’s the Little George Bush (Little George Bush)
He’s the Little George Bush (Little George Bush)
Got in Afghanistan – and screwed up Iraq
This year he’ll take Iran – It’s just down the block
He doesn’t waste his time with diplomacy
He does it in the name of democracy

Have A Dysfunctional Christmas

Well, it’s that time of year again. Christmas. Ahh, a time for you to spread yuletide cheer, gathering with those you love. Those who are near and dear to you.
Have a Dysfunctional Family Christmas, it’s a screwed up time of year
Don’t you know bout Uncle Joe, He just told us he was queer
Have a Dysfunctional Family Christmas, your mother-in-law’s a bitch
But you let it pass and kiss her ass, cause your father-in-law is rich

Are You Harming Your Horse?

By The Beachwood Horse Care Affairs Desk

Five Key Things New Horse Owners Must Know
Worthington, ON – December 2007- Owning your first horse can be a dream come true. Yet many new horse owners may find their newfound dream less-than-perfect as they struggle with issues of behavior, manners, training and respect. Perhaps they are inadvertently harming the very creature they’ve fallen in love with. Even though they’re large, majestic animals, horses require a lot of gentle TLC. Unfortunately, many of the long-standing practices in traditional horsemanship may be harmful. Growing numbers of horse owners are seeking more humane ways to train, ride and care for their horses.
That’s why Natural Horsemanship has become so popular. It’s based on understanding the natural herd hierarchy or pecking order, how horses use body language to communicate and how the practiced application of “pressure and release” can cause the horse to willing work with you – respecting and obeying you as the lead horse. It also promotes a deeper bond between horse and rider, based on the creation of a trusting relationship. Building trust isn’t always easy – that’s why it’s crucial for first time horse owners to make sure they’re not unknowingly hurting their horse.
Here are five key things new horse owners must know:

Cab #2038

Date Taken: 12/05/07
From: Wicker Park
To: Irving Park
The Cab: A Blue Diamond! It’s aesthetically pleasing on the outside with that Blue Diamond logo. Unfortunately, this will be the last good thing about a cab ride gone bad.
First, riding in this cab was like riding in the back seat of a friend’s car – in a bad way. There was no divider between driver and passenger. In some way I would think I would like this egalitarian structure, yet instead it creeped me out. He was right there! I could touch him between the bucket seats! Was this even a real cab? Or did he just stick a placard on the side of the car in order to lure victims whom he would take to his underground torture chamber?
Because that was the vibe I had.
