Tourists Avoid Fernbrook Resort Freelton as Vehicle Vandalism Rates Continue to Soar

Tourists Avoid Fernbrook Resort Freelton as Vehicle Vandalism Rates Continue to Soar


Donald Trump's Presidential Campaign Yugo was
savaged during a recent visit to Fernbrook resort.


For the last couple of years Vehicle Vandalism has been a continuing concern in the nation of Fernbrook Resort. And the problem doesn’t look to be improving any time soon.

Vandalism can be detrimental to a vehicle's mileage per gasllon o
The latest incident was reported by a neighbor who saw someone tom catting around another neighbor’s ride. After sneaking a few cautious head swivels the individual reached over and ripped a swath of peeling paint from the vehicle. Feeling brave he then walked over to the front of the vehicle and gave the car a good swift kick. Before departing.

That’s what they reported and the damage cited was later confirmed.

I have to admit you have to be pretty brave to attack an unoccupied car in the dead of night.    

Wait a second… you don’t have to be brave to do that at all.

You have to be a chicken.

There’s Always Tomorrow in the Ongoing Human chicken War at Fernbrook Resort Freelton

There’s Always Tomorrow in the Ongoing Human chicken War at Fernbrook Resort Freelton


Fernbrook Resort's crack Chicken Battalion
out on maneuvers.

Colonel Sanders: "Bring it on chicken cluckers"














The spouse the kids and I were out walking our pet ferrets, Ian and Morticia, when we chanced to overhear a snippet of conversation as we passed one of those cube vans that was doing double duty as a moving truck.

Moving Van Guy: “So that’s where that jerk lives?”
Neighbor: “Yeah.”
Moving Van Guy: “We should steal some of his stuff that’s sitting out there.”
Neighbor: “Can’t. They have a camera.”

It almost sounds as if the neighbor had previously mulled over the very same thought. Theft. Or, perhaps worse. And if the neighbor had kept his beak closed and a theft had occurred? Then maybe the Human chicken War at Fernbrook Resort Freelton would have finally come to an end. Because it will not end until a chickens loses its head.

Do you want to know what would have happened (in this instance) if a theft had occurred and the perpetrator prosecuted?

1) unless Moving Van Guy had serious priors he would have been given a slap on the wrist. A suspended sentence or perhaps some weekends in the crib.

2) worse (for him) he exposed himself to a civil action. Which could have cost him in the extremely low five figures consisting of a settlement plus costs.

3) and he exposed the moving company he works for to a civil action. He was in their paid employ at the time and using their vehicle. Which would have cost them in the extremely low five figures consisting of a settlement plus costs.

Additionally, the bad press would most certainly have affected his employer’s bottom line. Who hires a moving company employing employees convicted of theft? Not someone with a household of valuables to ship.

And once you get a criminal record entering the United States is impossible.

Because US Border Agents will turn back those with pending criminal charges and convictions as undesirable.

Nipigon's popsicle stick bridge
Which would be horrible for an employee of a moving company that ships across Canada. Because the bridge at Nipigon (constructed out of popsicle sticks believe it or not) on the Trans Canada Highway is closed for the foreseeable future. And this bridge is the only means of driving from Ontario to points west. The best alternative for the driver is to drive south through the Sault and then make a hard right at Superior. 

So no heads cut off the chickens today.

But there is always tomorrow.

Tommorrow is only a day away

Lengthy Human chicken War at Fernbrook Resort Freelton Comes to a Conclusion

Lengthy Human chicken War at Fernbrook Resort Freelton Comes to a Conclusion

"In your face humans, we have prevailed," clucked Ned Strawfoot
What happened to suddenly end the long running dispute that seemed destined to eclipse the One Hundred Years War in length?

The introduction of Reverse Psychology.


'I can't believe we lost,' said a stoic Colonel Harland Sanders, '
this is a finger licking bad day that will live in infamy'

The chicken side in the war discovered and harnessed that most potent of weapons, reverse psychology. And so the war is now officially over. The winning side fired a short verbal barrage that included the word ‘juvenile’ in describing the tactics of their opposition. Their opposition of course are all those who have complained about having animal feces and dead rodents repeatedly tossed on their properties. Those who have objected to thefts and vandalisms. Those who respond to verbal attacks with words of their own.     

Juvenile.

Yes, being referred to as juvenile for describing their tactics and poking some fun at them in the process was their deadly counterattack. A counterattack which was the perfect use of reverse psychology. How can one respond to the superior tactics and brain power of dog feces flingers et al after hearing such. Other than to give up and hang their heads in shame.

Oh, if only the losing side had discovered this potent weapon first and victory been theirs… what a better place the Grand Nation of Fernbrook Resort could have been.

But now dastardly deeds such as tossing feces, vandalism etc. etc. no doubt are going to be considered the height of sophistication in this new national order.

“And what are your plans for the weekend?” someone might enquire?

“We’re going dead rodent tossing.”

Well maybe if you fed me better my
bowel movements would improve!

“Oh? You’re out of feces?”

“Yeah our pets all have diarrhea and it’s just not congealing to a consistency that is suitable for flinging.”

“You poor thing!”

That’s what conversations are going to be like now. And if some were still to complain after such antics have become all the rage?

“You look sad today – what’s the matter?”

“It’s our neighbors. They’re upset that we throw dead rodents and animal excreta onto
their property. Can you imagine being forced to live next to such horrible people? Poor us!”

“They really don’t like it?”

“Yeah… In fact they’ve been making fun of us and trying to embarrass us into stopping. They are just so juvenile. Why don’t some people ever grow up?”

“You stay strong sister!”

Yeah, thanks to the use of reverse psychology these are the types of social interactions that are going to be de rigeur at Fernbrook Resort in Freelton. Because no one can defeat the power of reverse psychology. It embarrasses the opposition into submission by projecting their personal hidden fears, that they are juvenile, onto those that they detest.

Can you imagine if the Nazis had found and been able to discover this heretofore untapped arsenal?

We’d all be blond haired and blue eyed and goose-stepping to Broadway show tunes. (I wonder what the Nazis have done with bald people? Or people whose hair turned grey or white.)

Anyway, we just hope that these chickens don’t discover the potency of sarcasm.

For then the world as we know it will surely be at an end.  


A Fernbrook battle chicken returns home to its family.

Fernbrook Resort Freelton Set to Resume Human Sacrifices

Fernbrook Resort Freelton Set to Resume Human Sacrifices

Dry runs for human sacrifices are under way at Fernbrook Resort 
The tiny cauliflower free nation of Fernbrook Resort announced to the world today that they would be reinstituting the long forgotten practice of sacrificing human beings to their gods.


High Priestess Amanda Yogurtcup:
'The high price of cauliflower has
forced our nation to react!' 
Head of Fernbrook Resort’s Bureau of Tree Worship & Lawn Maintenance, High Priestess Amanda Yogurtcup, had this to say in way of explanation. “The world is just going to hell. Every day school shootings. Terrorist attacks. Earthquakes. And now a single head of cauliflower costs $10. Ten dollars!” she exclaimed tearfully. “So we asked ourselves why this might be happening. Why is cauliflower so damned expensive? What has changed in our world? And the answer of course was human sacrifice. Thousands of years ago people were being sacrificed daily. And the gods were happy. But somewhere along the line we stopped sacrificing our neighbours. The gods got angry. And now cauliflower is $10 a head. It’s a pretty obvious co-relation when you do the math.”

Asked what religion in this day and age required human sacrifices and the surprise response was Unitarianism.

“Yeah, we’re all Unitarians here. And our god is Merrill Lynch. And let me tell you, when Merrill Lynch talks, everybody listens,” said Fernbrook resort citizen Benson Hedges reverently.     

And what kind of people does Fernbrook Resort propose to be sacrificed?
Benson Hedges can relax now that
people will pronounce to-may-toe
in the Fernbrook approved fashion. 


Lawyers. Those who wear too much cologne. People who pronounce the word to-may-toe to-mah-toh…

“Don’t you just hate people who mispronounce the word to-mah… I mean to-may-toe,” Benson Hedges enunciated slowly and carefully as he wiped some sweat from his brow.    

“And also people from Millgrove,” Yipped the Lord Mayor Doc Ballard excitedly. “Screw you Millgrove,” the Lord Mayor barked again, “We’re coming for you!”

'Watch out Millgrove - we're coming for you'
The Lord Mayor of Fernbrook Resort

Millgrove of course is the cat-worshipping nation located to the south of Fernbrook Resort.

Doc Ballard later confirmed that not only are human sacrifices expected to put a damper on terrorism, earthquakes and out of control cauliflower prices but it will also be great for tourism.


“Once word gets out tourists will be flocking to Fernbrook Resort. We plan to sacrifice people several times a week… and we’ll tie in some promotions to make it fun for the whole family. This is gonna be more popular than our annual Whack-A-Cat Festival http://fernbrookresort.blogspot.ca/2015/05/fernbrook-resort-freelton-announces.html


Scene from the opening ceremonies of Fernbrook Resort's 'Whack-a-Cat' Festival

Such promotions are to include selfies with the sacrificial victims, wet t-shirt contests for the ladies, first stone free for all stonings and every Wednesday will be Kids Day. All kids under the age of 12 get in for half price and will receive a free balloon. 

Asked what they’ll do with the bodies of the dearly departed the Lord Mayor replied, “Originally we were going to stick them in moving trucks and dump them somewhere along the highway, kind of like what Canadians do with marginalized aboriginal women. But that just seemed so wasteful. So we’ve got some old duffel bags and we’ll just bag’em and plant’em out back of the Resort. No one will think of looking back there. The recently deceased will be a great source of inexpensive cauliflower fertilizer. So it’s a win – win environmentally speaking as well.”

The first sacrifice of the year will take part at 7:00 PM eastern time (8:00 PM central time) as part of the pre-game ritual prior to Fernbrook Resort’s Super Bowl Sunday gala party.

Bridge Closure Snarls Traffic, Divides Nation of Fernbrook Resort Freelton

Bridge Closure Snarls Traffic, Divides Nation of Fernbrook Resort Freelton

The Bridge of St. Popsicle Peter 

St. Popsicle Peter and an eerie prophecy
that saved the nation from a disaster? 

But I really really liked that bridge
said a distraught Neville Chamberpot



Citizens of the golf cart driving nation of Fernbrook Resort were chagrined to learn that the nation’s most important bridge, The Bridge of St. Popsicle Peter (named after the Patron Saint of icy summer treats), was to be closed after an interior designer, a kid with a runny nose and a portly feline named Mr. Buttons deemed the span to be structurally unsound.


The dapper Mr. Buttons

When asked what the exact problem with the bridge was everyone deferred to Mr. Buttons who responded that, “the colour of the railings clashed with the yellow lane dividers adversely affecting the structure’s esthetic sensibilities.”

Locals were in a somber mood as the bridge is the main route between the nation’s capital, Clubhouse City, and the rest of the nation. Meaning a three minute detour will now be necessary to reach the capital.

“Who the hell builds a bridge out of popsicle sticks,” yelled an exasperated William Playwell, “Hey you bunch of Einsteins, here’s an idea, spend the extra $19.95 and spring for a set of Lego. It’s worth the money.”  

An upset
Ms. Reynoldswrap
Criticized Rhonda Reynoldswrap, “I know they want to save money… but using blind kids to build a bridge out of used popsicle sticks… what’s next? A popsicle stick nuclear waste storage facility?”

John Lenin: was told to shut his hole
“When the government announced that the bridge had been designed and was to be built by Ms. Hangnail’s first grade class at the Fernbrook School for the Blind… I voiced my concerns,” said John Lenin, “But I was called a commie and told to shut my hole.”

Doc Ballard - plans for a nuclear storage dump?
The Lord Mayor of Fernbrook Resort His Worship the Right Honorable Doc Ballard said, “I really like that idea for a nuclear storage waste facility but there’s no way that we’re springing for expensive popsicle sticks when an inexpensive hole or fast running stream can handle the same job at a fraction of the cost.”

There is no date set for the repair and reopening of the bridge as popsicle sticks are always in short supply during the winter months.

A candid shot of Mrs. Cherry Fudgsicle working
 on some raw material for the bridge's restoration
The good news however is that a pledge drive is being set up and those with popsicle sticks to contribute can mail them to the attention of Mrs. Cherry Fudgsicle at the Bureau of Bridge Building and Frozen Foods located in Clubhouse City, Fernbrook Resort.

The Days of Our Lives at Fernbrook Resort Freelton

The Days of Our Lives at Fernbrook Resort Freelton

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the Days of Our Lives

Ninety-nine percent of the citizens of the snow shovelling nation of Fernbrook Resort are regular normal decent people… but that other one percent? Well, they make one of those Jackass movies look like a witty Woody Allen matinee.

 A picture is wort a thousand words
In a previous episode an animated character instigated an incident by ‘mickey mouthing’ off (http://fernbrookresort.blogspot.ca/2015_12_01_archive.html)

And as we pick up this episode the family that was the target of the mouthing has since returned the favour. Mouthing off in return.

Hurting Mr. Instigator’s feelings. Quite irreparably.


An upset Mr. Instigator boo hoo hooing over his hurt feelings.

In fact Mr. Instigator was so hurt that he began to petition. Asking some citizens of Fernbrook Resort to support him in getting the family he mouthed off to evicted from the nation. As undesirables. Because they made him feel bad.

Unfortunately his petitioning has yet to reach fruition. 

So he got angry. He decided that if the family mouthed off again that he would beat the crap out of them.

Not much fruit bearing on this front either.

So, next, he decided to get some help from a Fernbrook Resort friend. Allegedly he asked for advice on how to evict this family who had the audacity to feed him a spoonful of his own medicine.

And, his friend was Quite frank with him. “I want that family out of here as much as the next guy and gal,” the frank friend replied, “Because the last thing the good people of Fernbrook Resort need are neighbors who clean up their homes or lots or who mouth off or who try to bully or to pick fights…  you’re certainly proof of that.”

“Indubitably,” replied Mr. Instigator.

“But, frankly, we can’t kick someone out until they break a rule.”

Which left Mr. Instigator to exclaim, "Then I guess I'll have to go over there and settle this once and for all!!!" 
 
Strange isn't it how the same tough folks that go around taking swings at people are the first to get their panties in a knot when that same someone turns around and takes a poke at them. But then like sands through the hourglass, so are the Days of Our Lives.

Tensions Rise as North Korea Threatens Fernbrook Resort Freelton with H-Bomb

Tensions Rise as North Korea Threatens Fernbrook Resort Freelton with H-Bomb

North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un proudly poses
in front of his nation's fabled 'Wall of Cheese'   

For those who don’t remember the tiny crouton rich nation of Fernbrook Resort gleefully admitted to framing North Korea in the Sony Hacking Scandal:

But now, is the nation whose national delicacy is barbequed cat, North Korea, out for a sequel?


Kim Jong Un and family dress in safety gear
to tour his  nation's nuclear facilities

Late last night North Korea’s teletubby shaped leader Kim Jong Un claimed to the world that his nation had successfully detonated its first H-Bomb – and then immediately followed this claim with a threat to those who would oppose their might. A rambling threat which included the likes of the Reverend Billy Graham, Costco and Fernbrook Resort.


“Fernbrooka Resorta… we are athreatening to you-a!” announced Kim Jong Un uncertainly yet proudly in his broken English.

When informed of the threat Fernbrook Resort’s Lord Mayor, Doc Ballard, fired off a few choice F-Bombs towards North Korea before replying: “Oh, yeah, we’re real scared. Does anyone really believe that a nation that dines on cat, owns a total of three cell phones and recently installed their first 8-track sound system has an H-Bomb? Ha ha ha ha ha ha… man the world is so gullible… ha ha ha ha ha ha… Aren’t these are the same guys that cried because the only nation that sent them a Christmas card two years ago was Vatican City… which is probably one more than they got this year… ar ar ar aroooo…” the Lord Mayor howled with glee.
His Royal Worship Doc Ballard Lord Mayor of  Fernbrook Resort

Here the Lord Mayor interrupted his response to relieve himself on a nearby fire hydrant then returned and began speaking to the assembled press once more.

A selection of ammunition from the Fernbrook Resort arsenal
“There is no way that North Korea has an H-bomb. If they did, they’d’ve already shot themselves in their foot. If anyone wants to see a real H-bomb check out the front lawn of the Lord Mayor’s mansion about a half hour after I eat my breakfast… because that my friends is a real H-Bomb.Ar ar ar aroooooo.”




The North Korean Army 'goose-steppin' to the music from 'Cats'
Then, mimicked Doc Ballard sarcastically, “watcha outa North-a Korea… Fernbrooka Resorta we are-a threatening-a…. your lawns-a. Ha ha ha ha ha. Seriously, you weeble-sized Nazis really crack me up. We should get together over a shish-ka-bobbed cat or something. Or NOT. Ha ha ha ha ha,” he barked, “Not. That always kills me. Not… ar ar ar aroooooo ar ar ar aroooo arooooo arooooo….”

Meth Labs, Coke Dens and Trailer Trash at Fernbrook Resort, Freelton

Meth Labs, Coke Dens and Trailer Trash at Fernbrook Resort, Freelton


Well, the last entry in this blog resulted in a flurry of e-mails and a number of accusations regarding the garbage filled interior of our home - so this is the time to set the record straight (ONCE AGAIN) on the state of our home as well as Fernbrook Resort's residential classification system.
Ritzy Fernbrook Resort of Freelton has a long standing classification system for the resident’s homes – and this week the new ratings for each of the resident’s properties was revealed. The ratings are important solely because they determine the social hierarchy for the park (i.e. who’s better than you are and who you can associate with publicly).

 - notice the well maintained and weed free back lawn

Meth Lab with not a speck of trash to be seen

I was shocked (and pleasantly so) to learn that I had moved up a notch in the pecking order, going from the very bottom rung or ‘Meth Lab’ as it is known. Yes, I’ve been bumped up one rung to the ‘Coke Den’ rating. To be honest I don’t think that I’ve done enough work on my ‘Meth Lab’ to warrant such an honour. However it has rained heavily the past few weeks and I think the heavy shower cleaned some of the dirt off of the classic 1976 Pinto I use as a lawn ornament, showcasing the rust, really adding some colour to the property. Hence the advancement.






I wonder…

One of Fernbrook Resort's
ritzier crack homes. 
…the lawn hasn’t been cut since the Chretien Administration (first term)… perhaps if I gave the lawn a bit if a trim… maybe I could move up one more notch, achieving the much coveted ‘Crack Whore’ designation. Though it’s a name that kind of worries me. I have no problem being associated with crack (as I am told it can be quite refreshing); it’s the whore part of the description that bothers me. To be perfectly blunt, I’ve been saving myself for marriage and I certainly don’t want folks thinking that I’m easy. After all I do have a reputation to think about.

This home's renovation began during the elder Trudeau's first administration and
is earmarked to be finished next year, during the reign of his son.  











Thai Brothel or Fernbrook Resort Cat House?
Above the ‘Crack Whore’ designation comes ‘Permanent Reno’, so named because the home is in a state of perpetual teardown. Those who achieve Permanent Reno status have the cache of a messy yard coupled with the bona fide excuse, “Hey, we’re renovating, but by summer we’ll have this all cleaned up and I’ll be drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon beside our swimming pool, trust me...”




...and a picture from a 1st Rank Cat House.

‘Cat House (1st rank)’ differs from the second rank in that the first rank must be a home that actually has cats. Dozens of them. Many dozens. As neighbor cats seem to enjoy the amenities that my yard provides I believe that this designation is one that is, ultimately, quite achievable. With no extra effort required on my part. Though quite honestly I think I would prefer to be called a crackwhore.




A home occupied by a member
of Fernbrook Resort's
'High' Society

Next in line is the ‘Almost Millionaires’ clique. These are homes that have lawn chairs in their yards and a big giant inflatable child’s pool (decorated with porpoises and starfish) erected for the sole purpose of soaking their feet while lounging around shirtless and drinking copious amounts of high quality Pabst Blue Ribbon beer. This is a high rank which is quite beyond me for several reasons. I will never be able to afford a pool. I don’t have the hot air necessary to inflate such a quality amenity. And Pabst Blue Ribbon is much too fine a beverage for someone of my modest standing.




The highest rank that a resident of Fernbrook Resort can achieve is that of ‘Trailer Trash’. This is a rank that some neighbors have achieved and, God willing, perhaps a rank I may one day be awarded as well. Isn’t that everyone’s dream? To walk down the street while people point at me and whisper quietly behind hands held over their smiling mouths, “Look son, over there, there goes Trailer Trash…”   

Well, until that day comes, I can always dream.

Our Dream Home!!!
