What do Australians call a practical joke?

A Kanga-rouse

Education. Entertainment. It’s Blog Post #44. Why were the ending jokes moved to the beginning?

Saving Time

By taking the end of the blog and moving it to the beginning of the blog, I have actually created a longer blog. It’s like cutting a piece off the end of a rope and tying it to the other end of the rope. You end up making a longer rope. And that is how daylight savings time works.

Travel and Family Time

It’s been a busy month. My wife and I went to Arizona for a few days. We watched our beloved hockey team, the Vancouver Canucks take on the Arizona Coyotes. We also spent time with my wife’s cousin and his wife who spend their winters in Arizona. It was so great to hang out with family. It was also nice to hang out with my wife’s cousin.

There were a lot of Canucks fans at the game. The home fans around us started chanting “Canucks suck!” Then some Canuck fans started chanting, “Coyotes suck!” I said, “C’mon now. Both these teams suck. Let’s be honest.”

Articles

Before leaving on vacation I found that my published travel articles were no longer available at WanderGoGo . It seemed that the site was WanderGoneGone. However, I found later that the site was back up and they were re-launching. Maybe you’ll see some more travel articles from me sooner rather than later.

I love Vancouver. I also love New York City and Hong Kong. I may have grown up small town but now I’m unquestionably an urbanite. This song about big city living with concrete under the feet is headlining my workouts these days.  Big City Love

Bienvenidos

Following our Arizona adventure, my wife and I headed to the warmth of Mexico. We met up with family there, enjoyed great food and drink in the warm sun, and I got the opportunity to try out my Spanish skills.

Si o No

For every time my Spanish went well, there was a time it didn’t. Whether people simply laughed at what I said or responded to my words with near flawless English, the one thing I learned for sure is that I have a lot of work still to do. That only makes sense as all my Spanish learning has been via YouTube and not from being immersed in the language.

While in Mexico I twice booked taxis that never came. I made a restaurant reservation for 7 people for Thursday at 6pm and wondered if I had made a reservation for 6 people at 7pm for Friday. I asked one taxi driver to drive straight ahead and he was laughing…Looking back I think I was saying something that roughly translated to, “Charge forward!” It was fun.

Here’s one of the first photos I took on this trip to Mexico.

Book Work

I’ve continued to work on my upcoming book. It’s been great to go through my past articles and all my old blog posts. I thought some of them might be stupid or silly but it turned out they were…which is awesome. I was recently asked, “Is the book fiction or non-fiction?”

The answer is Yes.

Words of Wisdom

1. Question everything. It’s good to be on the alert for things that are off. We rented a house in Mexico. It was walled off from the surrounding area, contained barbed wire, and had an electric fence on the top of it. My wife said she felt safe. I questioned when the velociraptors were going to be coming.

2. Listen carefully. Music can be so telling. I shared a song about the big city because I love the big city. Recently I was calling customer service and the music playing was, “Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies .” Telling.

3. Shouldn’t everybody that can get vaccinated, get vaccinated… or is it just measles?

Warning: Some people aren’t going to like this. Maybe that some people is you.

4. Don’t believe the hype. Sometimes things get great reviews. They have fame and critical acclaim but in the end aren’t really that great. Movies, foods, activities, tv shows, music, artists etc. sometimes just aren’t that amazing. Things that are terrible but have positive reviews and are very popular include Marvel Movies, Pink: The Beautiful Trauma Tour, The Roy G Mundheim Blog, Black Forest Cake, Beyonce, Netflix Binge-watching, microwaves, The Keto Diet, new Star Wars movies, cotton candy, Roma etc. Don’t trust the critics or the masses. See for yourself.

Bonus Content

Movie Review: Here’s my Review of the critically acclaimed Netflix movie, Roma. Enjoy. Spoiler Alert: To appreciate this review, it is best that you’ve seen the movie. If you haven’t seen Roma, be warned that some content will reveal parts of the movie that may ruin your movie watching experience.

Don’t watch this movie. It was terrible. I was so looking forward to this movie. Everybody was saying they loved it. I thought watching Roma would be a great opportunity to both practice Spanish and watch a great movie. I was wrong. The movie was so slow and, at times, meaningless. It’s in black and white so I guess it’s “artsy.” You never really get to know the main character. She always seemed on auto-pilot. It was a frustrating and disappointing movie watching experience.

The things I liked:

There was the Infinity War scene on the Mexico City street where Spider Man runs up to the furniture store and gets shot. That was cool.

There was the scene with the martial arts class with Nacho Libre. I love Jack Black. Is there any character he can’t pull off? In that scene he blindfolded himself and did the tree pose. I love yoga. Is there anything it can’t do? Yeah, make this movie any good.

There was also the scene where Bjorn Ironside broke into song while everyone was fighting the forest fire (very creative…and in Norwegian).

The final dramatic scene on the beach was also good but could have benefitted from a Megalodon. One star.

Note: This was a comedic review of Roma and not that of a serious film cricket.

So of course, there’s still another ending joke. Australians just aren’t that funny. Be warned: This joke is controversial and 100% made up. I’m looking to include it in my book. I’d like some feedback. If you find it too much or offensive, please send me an e-mail and let me know. RoyGMundheim@gmail.com . Enjoy.

People who are severely constipated may need digital disimpaction (the use of fingers to aid in the removal of stool from the rectum). People are often surprised to learn that nurses do this. One evening I was helping a man with digital disimpaction as he was very constipated.

The weird part was that I wasn’t at work. I had just met the guy in the restaurant bathroom.
