A Just for Laughs Gag/Juste pour Rire
For those of you who have been watching the Just for Laughs Gags I post, you are aware that these are, for the most part, done right here in Montreal, Quebec, Canada! This special video is not actually a gag, but is done by the Just for Laughs Gags Denis Levasseur!
It shows how some of our tourists here from different parts of the world recognize Denis, as the Just for Laughs Gags air in many parts of the world due to the fact that there is no talking that we can hear, so people who speak any language from anywhere can understand and enjoy them. I hope you enjoy this video! I really did! :) This video was done in our Montreal's Old Port!

The Campus Squirrel Whisperer
Homeless Man Plays Piano Beautifully
For the following, I am providing the link sources beneath each photo. You just need to click on the images to see a larger view.
We find our greatest strength by lifting others.
We all leave footprints as we journey through life. Make sure yours are worth following.
We do not meditate in order to feel good. The purpose of meditation is not to feel bad either, but really to have an open compassionate attentiveness to whatever is going on. (inside and out of ourselves)
Nothing is more honorable than a grateful heart.
Keep healthy veggies at home, so you'll snack on healthy veggies.
Don't wait for a reason to be kind, caring and compassionate to others...be the reason.
I'm still determined to be happy, regardless of what life throws at me. I have learned through experience that my happiness will depend on my attitude and mind set, not my circumstances. I choose to be happy!
Deep down we know we cannot make it in this world only in the company of humans.
Thank you all so much for visiting me here! I always appreciate and enjoy reading your kind thoughts, which you are always welcome to share!
Gee!!! That homeless man is super talented! Surely he can get a job in some posh hotel, playing in the lobby or piano bar?
ReplyDeleteI think I saw a video update on the homeless piano player. He cleaned up and got a haircut, reconnected with his son, and entered rehab.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully inspiring pieces!
Thank you for these Linda. Recipe for red beet smoothie sounds interesting. It is raining here in Finland, looking forward to sunny weather. Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteThe image of this Autism artist is beautiful, so colorful, so cheerful, so summery - great.
ReplyDeleteI wish you a nice week.
Once more, a nice gag, Linda !
ReplyDeleteDenis as Superstar ! Nice !
And squirrels -> so beautiful !
It's not because you're homeless, you cannot be an artist..., he leaves foodprints...
finding our strength by lifting others - that's a nice thought indeed :)
ReplyDeleteThe Homeless Man plays beautifully piano linda.
ReplyDeleteThe homeless man was like "WOOOOW"! I would pay him immediately - so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat squirrel was cute with hats :DD
Thanks a lot, again! Happy Monday! :)
I would recognise Denis.
ReplyDeleteje te souhaite une douce semaine ,
ReplyDeleteici la ville tire la tronche , les gens sont agressifs , violents , la météo est grise c'est peut étre ça ....
ou c'est ceux qui partent pas en vacances ...
c'est un peu pénible dans les transports en commun ou les magasins ....
faut faire avec ....
bisous
Maybe I should try yoga to sleep better
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff indeed, many thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAhhh I love how that man plays piano. God bless you my darling and wishing you a great week ahead! Liuba x
ReplyDeletecute squirrels:)
ReplyDeleteOh Denis is so funny. :)
ReplyDeleteIs that accent typical among French-speaking Canadians?
Interesting cos it sounds totally different to French-speaking French (what?!)! Ha.
So glad you enjoyed this video, thanks for watching it! This accent is not typical among French speaking Canadians...however, it IS typical of French speaking Quebecers, and Denis Levasseur is from here, Montreal, Quebec. :)
Deleteyou really know how to start off a week, love you.
ReplyDeleteI especially like your inspiration quotes and accompanying art. A great collection of fascinating pieces today.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much for leaving such nice comments on my blog, and glad you enjoy visiting.
Have a great week.
I just wanted to say "Hi!"

Lots of fun things on this post, Linda. It was fun to see the different reactions to the JFL guy. The homeless man playing the piano made me sad and joyful all at the same time. Interesting about the squirrel whisperer. And I love the zebra painting.
ReplyDeleteDenis est vraiment populaire Linda
ReplyDeletehave a nice day
I hope you will have a wonderful Monday.
ReplyDeletecool zebra art
ReplyDeleteAnother great post. I enjoy the video of the homeless man playing the piano and the squirrel video. Lots of great quotes. Have a blessed day. Madeline
ReplyDeleteahh, this is such an inspiring post my dear! have a lovely monday <3

Hi Linda, another lovely selection. Thank you so much for sharing them. I enjoyed seeing all the tourists with Denis, amazing how many people recognise him.
ReplyDeleteI love the Laugh Gags. I watch them on Channel 9 CBC. Also like the comedians that are on TV from Montreal. The Homeless Man Plays Piano Beautifully is no longer. He was taken to a hair salon and cleaned up and a man who owned a bar had the guy play the piano in his place. What a happy ending. He's also going to meet his son who he hasn't for many years. What a beautiful ending.
ReplyDeleteTry to have a cool day. I'm hot at the moment. have to get back into my AC. See ya Linda.

I remind the lonely zebra!

ReplyDeleteGreat videos and images as always. Especially, the Squirrel Whisperer video is amazing!
ReplyDeleteHi, I love your blog! I am a new follower :-) The Candy Waters Art knocks my socks off, it is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove all the gags. I didn't know they were made in Canada until today. Thanks for the history lesson.
ReplyDeleteOh so precious on the squirrels. She's amazing.
The homeless man playing the piano. Wow.
Have a fabulous day and week ahead Linda. ☺
Thank you for the inspiration today, Linda!

ReplyDeleteenjoyed this post very much. :)
ReplyDeleteLinda, I read one time that grateful people are the happiest people. You sound like such a grateful person, and I thank you for the smiles you always bring.

Dearest Linda,
ReplyDeleteI LOVED the sqirrels! And the homless man (!) - is it a video from Santa Barbara, USA? I'm quite excited :o)) , because we have been there in 2012, and there was the action "Pianos on State" with 10 brightly painted pianos standing along State Street. I posted the image of an old woman that played wonderful Mozart - you can see it in this post:

and I think that was the same road ... and just another piano... (?)
Lots of hugs from Austria,
Traude
Have you tried yoga? I go at least once a week (sometimes twice) and it does help me feel better and probably sleep better too.
ReplyDeletehi Linda!

I like your blog, its intresting what you shows us :)

I do like that zebra pic, and the squirrel whisperer video's a good one.
ReplyDeleteDear Linda- the homeless man playing the piano is awesome. Loved the squirrel whisper too. So once again you made my day special. God bless.
ReplyDeletethank you for the inspiring words, linda! :-))
ReplyDeleteSome wise words today Linda, thank you...
ReplyDeleteMust remember to think positive for this new week ahead :) Thanks for the encouraging words here
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, those squirrels are so tame, aren't they! Thanks for sharing with us :-)
ReplyDeleteLovely piano piece by the homeless man. Great post!
ReplyDeleteHi, dear Linda! I didn't forget you, my cherished friend. I read the wonderful comment you left for guest host Janie on SDMM this week and thank you very much for continuing to support my blog while I took a break to entertain visiting in-laws. They extended their stay with us and just left this morning. I came over to see the special video segments you told me about. It's amazing how people from all over the globe recognize prankster Denis on the street and remind him of some of his mischievous gags.
ReplyDeleteThank you again, dear Linda, for your continued friendship and support!
