Out neighbors are French Canadian. I mention this because sometimes people who are from foreign countries have different customers and ways of doing things.
Like my wife doesn't like it when I burb, but - I'm told - in China it is a real compliment to the cook when someone burbs after a meal. But she doesn't buy it. She says I'm not Chinese and we don't live in China. Nit picky.
Anywho...
The neighbors today were strangling their cat. Not good.
So I was looking up the number of the campgrounds manager so as to call and have these people hauled off to the housgow (which means prison). Pam stopped me by telling me that they were doing...
... wait for it...
Karaoke
Karaoke is normally singing. But I am pretty sure in French Canada it is something else.
I listend closely and by golly it was singing. The first song I was able to decipher was "Just a Closer Walk with Thee". And the next one was "Love Potion Number 9". So Jesus and Joy Juice were a "one two punch".
They had a Karaoke machine. That is a machine that shows the words that you are to sing, and plays the song. All that is fine, but the machine also has a microphone so that the entire campground can here you sing about Jesus and the unbridled lust of "Love Potion Number 9".
Fortunately for me this all happened when I had to leave to go take pictures of the sun setting. Pam was alone. When I returned she was still sane and the only damage that may have been done was to the dogs in the park because they have acute hearing. Some of the owners must'a taken them inside, or somehow covered their ears.
