Cod was King, at one time, here in Newfoundland and Labrador, and it fed people on two continents. Now, it is illegal for the average Newfoundlander and Labradorian to go out an catch a cod for their dinner...all the while foreign trawlers are "dragging" the last schools of cod, not allowing them to breed, and thus, dooming their existence in the North Atlantic.

Tomorrow night, on the "What's Up Dachs?" comedy club stage, direct from the Catskills, are the Three MacStooges. Seating is limited, so be sure to reserve your table ASAP. Merci.

The name Shangri-la reminds me of the movie Lost Horizons.
A bunch of Mac users trapped in a paradise , everything seems perfect except once they find their way in, they never grow old but can never leave.
Or maybe you could cal it Willowby after that old Twilight Zone episode where evrybody is on a train that stops at a paradise town caled Willowby, of course, all the residents are in reality dead. Hmmm, that'd be a bummer.
So anyway, this is why the name makes me feel scared to get to comfortable here, maybe some kind of conspiracy is afoot?
There is only peace and tranquility in the Shangri-la clubhouse. Each person shall find their own sense of inner peace here, and use it in their own manner. There is no need to conspire here, because we are here to help each other and to share both the tears and laughter.
Still, it is late here in St.John's, and I grow weary. I find it difficult to philosophize with any sort of intelligence just now, so I shall sign off.
However, I shall wish you all a peaceful sleep..........with dreams of the valley of the Blue Moon (read the book or see the movie to understand the wish I have for you all). Paix.

All things that are born must some day die. 'tis bettter to love and enjoy it for a short period of time than to never have given birth to it at all. Viva Shangri-la! (retirement home of the Monster Thread)
It should be noted that there are many more participants presently than in the predecessor thread. It's amazing how many friends come to pay respects when they think you're dead......we're not!
Good morning, all. I see that many of you are in fine form. At least Peter is here and in the right frame of mind to make this clubhouse the true refuge for the "...tired, poor and huddled masses..." out there in ehMacLand. We shall see.
Remember the old saying that "Old salmon never die...they just smell that way."
