Slink Panther is all excited!
In case you don’t know, Slink Panther is one of South Peace News’ three office cats. He happens to be mostly black. You know – Halloween and black cats! A match made in heaven!
Slink Panther is pretty laid back, however, except when it comes to feeding time. A frenzy not unlike a government office at 4:30 p.m. Friday.
Have you chosen a Halloween costume yet? Here are the Top 5 costumes according to USA Today:
- Shrunken Head Bob from the movie Beetlejuice.
- Breakdancer Raygun.
- Catnap from the movie Poppy’s Playtree.
- Delores from the movie Beetlejuice.
- Pomni from The Amazing Digital Circus.
Have you heard about all these characters and/or movies? The Page needs to get out more!
The scariest costume The Page can think of: dressing up somehow as the Town of High Prairie’s SAGE Report.
Costco did a survey on what frightens people most.
Skunks, spiders, heights and sea creatures to the list and – of course – No Costco nearby!
Who did this study?
A tidbit for you: If all the Lego blocks were laid end-to-end, the number of bricks sold each year would circle the Earth five times!
Fisherman’s Friend is coming out with new flavours! Just in time for winter? What timing!
The Page does not like Fisherman’s Friend. Too strong.
But he does remember attending Kokum’s Outreach a couple summers ago and suffering from a scratchy throat. An Indigenous medicine expert (sorry, cannot remember his name) offered The Page a chunk of rat root.
“How do I use it?” asked a very uninformed Page.
“Stick in all in your mouth and chew as fast as you can,” replied the expert.
The Page did! I can hear all my Indigenous friends laughing! Wow! Did I spit that stuff out in a hurry!
But you know what? No more scratchy throat!
The Gallup World Happiness Report was released and it says Canada has dropped to 15th place from 13th in world rankings.
Apparently, happiness is defined as being content in careers, community, financial, physical and social.
The Page surmises that 15th place is not so bad when considering there are over 20 counties in the world. Still, with our abundance or riches, one wonders if we could do better.
Well, Conservative Party of Canada leader Pierre Poilevre thinks so. See those ads on TV? You would think he’s about the smartest and most compassionate character to come down the pipe in years. He has all the answers.
All sarcasm aside, his ads are not unfamiliar. Portray him as a nice guy. A family man.
At least it’s not an all-out attack ad. But do not fret, dear reader. They will come closer to the election.
Speaking of election material for the Conservatives, do you think they will have to dig very deep to find some dirt.
About as hard as filling a water balloon while swimming in in ocean!
An elderly couple are in church. The wife leans over to the husband.
“I just let out long, silent fart. What should I do?”
The husband looks at her.
“Replace the batteries in your hearing aid!”
A man gives his mother-in-law a cemetery plot for Christmas. It came with a coffin, tombstone, everything!
Next year, Christmas comes and he gets her nothing. She is very upset and asks why she did not get a gift.
“Well,” says the son-in-law. “You didn’t have the decency to use what I got you last year!”
A little boy goes up to his father.
“What’s a man?” he asks his dad.
“Well, son, a man is someone who is responsible and cares for the family.”
“Wow!” says the little boy. “I hope one day I can be a man just like my mom!”
Have a great week!
