#5 - High Five Fridays

"High Five Fridays" is a GREAT meme... and was started by bloggers who deal in "erotica" and therefore, certain links may be of a more "Adult" variety... If you see the dreaded "NSFW" (Not Safe for Work) or "NWS" (Not Work Safe) and you're of a more delicate constitution, please do not click on those links. That said, this new "meme" is a great idea... and I am glad it exists and plan on using it to it's fullest potential!

So, without further adieu...

My Fifth High-Five Friday...


#5: Okay, this one's almost JUST to irritate "Barney" (a blogger who's seriously missing more than a few points,) and folks like him... but seriously, I've come to greatly respect Warren Kinsella just for ensuring that the good fights keep being fought!


#4: Andy at The Spicy Caudron deserves a "High-Five" for two HUGE reasons this week... firstly, getting Sue and I to watch an enjoyable "pilot" program from the Beeb called "Being Human"... which is a quirky drama... which has major room for laughs... but is still a drama... let me put it this way... um...

Okay, a vampire and a werewolf move into a haunted flat (apartment for those not in the know,) and befriend the resident ghost.

...and yes, it's a drama.

It was good!

Ten'll get you twenty that Hollywood will pick up the show, re-cast it, and it'll be a pale "Buffy" rip-off within two seasons.

Anyway, Andy also introduced us to "The Blobs" which are little animated "creatures" Beeb3 puts in their station liners... sadly, he mentioned them because they are "no more"... see below (which I hope brings you as much silly joy as it brought me...)

Like I said, however... According to Andy, the "Blobs" are no more... which is VERY sad... Click here for details.

Ach! Have another Blobby Video!!!

Well, I liked 'em!


#3: A "High-Five" and "Get Well Soon" to Lance Evers... better known as Lance Storm... from Calgary... Alberta... CANADA. Despite "hanging up the tights" a while back, Storm continues to be a prolific and interesting writer... as well as a heck of a "guest" on a few wraslin' radio programs. Lance is having his knee scoped so, as a fan, this "High Five", as stated, is a "Get Well Soon!" to boot!

If he ever reads this... if he could answer one question... when does he figger Don Callis will start blogging and will he and Callis try to kill the blogsphere???

Please note: Lance also has a great book club on his blog/website... worth the read!


#2: Proof positive that I'm non-partisan in my politics is my next High-Five which goes out to Blandly Urbane at DemediaCratic Nation!

Blandly has supported the dream since pretty much the begining and has been a good friend to the busly thang... this despite his odd spelling of "shtuff"... I believe he spells it "schtuogh" or the like... anyway, a big "High-Five" goes out to him for all his help!


#1: My number ONE high-five WITH A BULLET is someone who has believed in our dream and been most helpful! She's even taking the brunt of "Barney's" bluster (the blogger who's been the catalyst for much stupidity 'round the bus yard,) because she too is a friend to the environement...

So a HUGE honkin' High Five to Cybercelt!

A prolific blogger and a dear friend.


Find out how to give your High-Five Fridays here!

You know you are awesome. I just have to high-five you every Friday.
I would love to see that show you watched it sounds like, I need cable or satellite.

PS...still having issues getting Sue's blog to load, have you heard other's with IE have issues? I may have to start using Opera.

I'm not able to view the videos, only about a quarter-square appears? Mind you, even without the images the voice samples are STILL hilarious!

Thanks for the nod, as always I am very honoured. I'm especially glad you guys enjoyed 'Being Human'.

Keep an eye out for news of it being commissioned as a series, I think it's chances are very good. The guy who plays the werewolf is cute and I was wondering where I'd seen him before... Turns out he played the cabin boy in last year's Christmas Doctor Who, 'Voyage of the Damned'. I checked out his info on Wikipedia and it was nice to read he's out as well. Perhaps explains how the camp couple scene in 'Being Human' was so so authentic! :-) x

That TV show sounds very cool... I wonder what with all the US love of immortal males this year (Moonlight, and the other undead or 'cannot die' shows) if this will hit the US as is? It would be better... And with the success of The Office and Corner Gas, perhaps there is hope?

Undead men are sexy. So are funny men. ;)

Not so sure about the argumentative man...

Men who want buses to fulfill family dreams are *super* sexy!

I'm up times two:

Hey Penelope Anne... We don't have cable or satellite... we use... well, we'd NEVER use "Bittorrent" to donwload things 'cuz that's WRONG! :)

Oh, sadly, you're the only one having issues with Sue's blog... no complaints otherwise... and the code seems sound. We both use IE 7 and IE 6 has been tested... but Sue and I are die-hard Firefox users... and it's 100% with that (and our other tests...)

Hi Andy... The vids are working here... and elsewhere... but I'll have a "boo" at my code just in case... and THANK YOU for introducing us to "The Blobs" and "Being Human"...

Hiya Pop Tart... Well, like I said, I bet it will have an "American" version... which will most likely suck... so try to find the Beeb version if possible before a U.S. network ruins it.

Hello Silent Porn Star... Well, Andy thought the Werewolf was cute... and the Vampire will appeal to the emo/goth crowd... the ghost? Well... she's cute in a thick-brogue sorta way.

Hey there, Slip of a Girl... How many undead comics do you know???

Hey CyberCelt... Would you want to be president???

No, Barney's been quiet so far... but something tells me, when he get's bored again... or when he needs blog fodder... he'll be back.

This blog is called One Old Green Bus. Yup, the bus is green. What colour is the bus?

Notice...


Nov. 30th 2008 - Jan. 23rd 2009

Due to a LARGE amount of projects which are mostly "offline", I will only be "blogging" Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays unless something REALLY begs me to blog about it.
Thanks for your understanding in this and be back to "full time blogging mode" come January 7th!

My Disclosure Policy For Sponsored Posts

One Old Green Bus

Allow me to start with we do not own nor are we selling a bus. Just had to get that out...

This blog was started in April of 2006... during a very bad time for me and my family when money was very tight and life was very hard.

We maintained a happier outlook on life by fantasizing... talking about what we would do when times were better... and as Sue and myself are Anglophiles, England factored greatly into our "plans".

During these bad times, while looking at news items which, at the time included items about London removing their venerable old Routemasters, I came across one photo of an old green bus... and somehow, my whole family adopted it. It became very much "our bus". (Details about "our bus" are available by clicking here.)

Like most of you, I'd heard about the fellow who'd made a million dollars selling tiny ads online... and the fellow who did trades and turned a paper clip into a house... so I thought, since we couldn't make our bus actually into "our bus" (well beyond our means,) I'd try an "online" appeal... to make the focused item of our hopes into a tangible thing in our lives...

More specifically, in a burst of adult/juvenile optimism, I had hoped to show the youngest member of the family, who at the time was still very youthful and impressionable, that dreams really could become reality if you hope and, more importantly, try.

Well, I'm pretty sure you figured it out... we had limited succes in this venture... and the youngest has now reached an age where she is more traditionally "teenaged" cynical than much else about the world, which isn't a dreadful thing... but there's a "good news" portion to this... our personal situation with money is better, life has improved, and some people really liked my rambling here... so, I decided to keep things going... Yes, I will "give up" on asking for help on a bus... and have to give up on even trying as hard to get the bus through online means... and yes, be far more realistic... but I don't mind this "turn" of things as I actually enjoy venting, trying my hand at humour, and generally keeping on online presence outside my usual things.

Thanks to those who were/are "Busly Dream" enthusiasts... I suppose that our buses for now will be single-deck with the letters "TTC" emblazoned on them... but this blog will live as does our dream! (It's just a little quieter on that latter bit...)
