Part 5 of the White Poppies for Remembrance series continues with Dave at Victory Park, this time reading the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights (adopted by General Assembly Dec. 10th 1948) with riffs on tolerance, human relations, common understanding and mutual respect, including a healthy sampling of articles on brotherhood, privacy, special treatment for mothers plus a commentary about refugee status and the illegal nature of torture and humiliating treatment.

Finding Victory Park cenotaph in post-ceremony calm, Dave settles onto a bench for lost sailors with some bagpipers to chat about John Macrae’s Flander’s Field poem and mull the tension between remembering noble effort and embracing jingoistic behavior. This conundrum is evident in snippets of an essay by Stephen Osborne – The Poem and the Poppy – which relates the amazing grace of drinking gin with Gramps who was there – ‘in the void.’

Part Three of the White Poppies for Remembrance series (recorded Nov. 2006) features reading from the Dhammapada by Siddhartha Gautama while waiting for the Seabus heading towards Victory Park.

Talbot Mercer Papineau – Wikipedia

Talbot Mercer Papineau, MC (25 March 1883–30 October 1917) was a lawyer and soldier from Quebec, Canada. …

He was notable for his letters from the front. He was hit by a shell during the Battle of Passchendale in Ypres on October 30, 1917.

Part Two of the White Poppies for Remembrance series finds Dave O eating oatmeal in North Van before heading downtown Vancouver to check in on Remembrance Day remembering activities. While having a bite to eat, he explains the mission of the White Poppies for Peace (a Peace Pledge Union project) folks based in the UK – to abolish war and violence of all kinds and spread peaceful vibes while Rocky Votolato “White Daisy Passing” and Black Tories provide tunes.

‘War is a crime against humanity. I renounce war, and am therefore determined not to support any kind of war. I am also determined to work for the removal of all causes of war.’ PPU pledge
White Poppies for Peace

Down on Lenker’s farm, Dave O checks in on the animal inventory and riffs his own freeverse poetry on canyon exploration, a groaning generation and tense search for authenticity and truth re-mixed with Bill’s Pennsylvanian poetics about frost heaves and nurturing life accompanied with his salty guitar jamble.

Then, in the woodshed, Dave tells a story about a blissful moment of time in Peliliu, Palau – where under the southern cross, everything stopped – while lambs, dogs, rams and a dead chicken go about their lives, seemingly unaware of the literature spieling or the-soon-to-blossom magnolia tree.

The King returns to Argos by chariot with a captured royal concubine in tow and tales of plunder and pillage after defeating Troy and is met by his conniving wife.

To a Mouse – Robert Burns, Poet 1759-1796

Wee, sleekit, cowrin, tim’rous beastie,
O, what a panic’s in thy breastie!
Thou need na start awa sae hasty
Wi bickering brattle!
I wad be laith to rin an’ chase thee,
Wi’ murdering pattle.

I’m truly sorry man’s dominion
Has broken Nature’s social union,
An’ justifies that ill opinion
Which makes thee startle
At me, thy poor, earth born companion
An’ fellow mortal!

I doubt na, whyles, but thou may thieve;
What then? poor beastie, thou maun live!
A daimen icker in a thrave
‘S a sma’ request;
I’ll get a blessin wi’ the lave,
An’ never miss’t.

Thy wee-bit housie, too, in ruin!
It’s silly wa’s the win’s are strewin!
An’ naething, now, to big a new ane,
O’ foggage green!
An’ bleak December’s win’s ensuin,
Baith snell an’ keen!

Thou saw the fields laid bare an’ waste,
An’ weary winter comin fast,
An’ cozie here, beneath the blast,
Thou thought to dwell,
Till crash! the cruel coulter past
Out thro’ thy cell.

That wee bit heap o’ leaves an’ stibble,
Has cost thee monie a weary nibble!
Now thou’s turned out, for a’ thy trouble,
But house or hald,
To thole the winter’s sleety dribble,
An’ cranreuch cauld.

But Mousie, thou art no thy lane,
In proving foresight may be vain:
The best laid schemes o’ mice an’ men
Gang aft agley,
An’ lea’e us nought but grief an’ pain,
For promis’d joy!

Still thou are blest, compared wi’ me!
The present only toucheth thee:
But och! I backward cast my e’e,
On prospects drear!
An’ forward, tho’ I canna see,
I guess an’ fear!

A curious Christmas gift of a budding ganja plant gets Uncle Weed making a micro grow environment for a purple kush plant. He assembles the light mogul and reflector shield and talks about metal halide and high pressure sodium bulbs, the mystery of ballasts and nutrients plus other useful grow show tidbits learned at Jon’s Plant Factory (on Hastings in Burnaby just past Boundary). Plus talks about a hookahs from Baghdad and Moorish musings from a Tetaria in Granada, Espana.

Aspiring actor and noted carouser O-dawg tells Uncle Weed about his hi-jinks starring in a French reality TV show called “The Lucky Bastard.” He recounts the production foibles, drunken debacles and beach fire exploits of hanging out with African immigrants, smoking hash and scoring with international lassies at the bar and spreads rumours of a existing video tape.

Then, after rollling a joint of outdoor Mendicino Sunshine and Mango in fascinating clear cellulose papers, they head up to San Francisco’s historic Buena Vista Park to dig the view, roast out and continue the story about security nonsense and NYC funtime.

Six-strain Vapo-Weed-tacular! – Choogle on #32

With six varities of tasty ganja and two Americans in tow, Uncle Weed heads up to the mountains to test each strain in weed in the Happy Vappy. They lazily review Organic Blueberry, Diesel, Mountain Kind, Cambie weed, Cherry Hash, and Jack Hare while watching Canucks hockey, discussing recent articles in Heads Magazine about travel in Japan and Ross Rebagliati’s quest for 2010, plus recent marijuana proposition failure in Colorado with the Colorado Kid and Anne Bonny the lady pirate.

Classic Canadian rock band The Tragically Hip rock an exclusive show at Vancouver’s Commodore Ballroom. Uncle Weed and Bread the Producer start at the New Amsterdam Cafe and choogle on over reading Gord Downie poetry, talking Barenaked Ladies along the way and spark a huge doobie at High Dough while results in dicey music analysis.

First, here a few pictures I took in Olympia this morning before heading over to the Fishbowl Brewpub to meet Damien, and have some fine Olympia seafood. (I had the Smoked Salmon Sandwich [mit frites], and Damien had the Cod fish Tacos.)

Photos of; (The Olympia Downtown Bus Transfer Station & Zeigler’s Welding on Olympia St)

After ordering our repast, we fired up the laptop and started recording, and here’s a synopsis of the show!

First, we chit-chat about the garage cum micro-brewery restaurant complex that houses the Fishtale Brewpub, with a shoutout to Caveman Jim Skutt, who’s vision and labor created the wood-fired pizza oven that is now in Sorrento’s Italian Restaurant. We also mention the brutal weather change that Olympia has undergone in the last few weeks, (with torrential rains, stormy winds, and at least one loud clap of thunder that woke everyone up at 3:00 AM a few days ago, due to the loudness and length of the booming.)

Our fish lunch arriving, we play Joe Lock / Geoffrey Keezer Group – Van Gogh by the Numbers from their album “Live in Seattle”

After that, Damien mentions that he saw the Evening Magazine Floatplane (The Maggie or The Maggie II), taking off from Budd Inlet whilst visiting the port.

Then we play “I am Ned” from The Truth Rockets. Here’s an explanation on what a NED is, for those of you fortunate enough not to know already.

I wonders at this point if my pint is the wrong size, but never do anything about. . . .

Then we play Junkstar – Factory, after a short discussion of soup, and his motocycle mechanic’s award at a bike show in Arizona, and an interrupting phone jingle from Damien’s SmartPhone. (acquired from the Podsafe Music Network)

After that, we kind of fumble about, talking rubbish about St. Andrew and European history, and Geometry, of which we obviously only have the vaguest notion. Here’s some information about St. Andrew from WikiPedia.

After we get it together we play The Blue Van, acquired from the iodaPromoNet.

Slightly past 4:20, Uncle Weed and amigo Cousin Herb roll up fat doob of sticky Sativa in a Vancouver park and talk about Herb’s recent trip to Netherlands and Belgium.

Weed recounts a few of his exploits in the low-lands (as a backpacker in 1992, a Cannabis Cup judge in 2002 and passing through in 2005). They talk about Barney’s killer breakfast and award worthy ganja, fave coffee shops, the Van Gogh museum and Anne Frank house, bike rides plus anecdotes about hash-bearing friends in Brussels, great Thai food and addictive Chocomel.
